1. 
Park facilities;
2. 
Roadway facilities; and
3. 
Transit facilities.

The General Plan further requires the preparation of a plan that identifies a mechanism for financing those facilities necessary to serve urban development in areas designated for urban expansion. The General Plan also contains additional policies for supporting funding of additional park land acquisition and development, and use of developer dedications, development fees, and other means to pay for acceptable level of transportation facilities.
C. 
The purpose of this chapter is to implement the General Plan requirements set forth in subsections A and B of this section and to use the authority in Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution by imposing development fees to fund the cost of certain facilities, the need for which is directly or indirectly generated by the type and level of development proposed in the Vineyard Public Facilities Financing Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, (hereinafter in some instances referred to as "PFFP" area).
D. 
It is the further purpose of this chapter to require that adequate provision is made for developer financed facilities within the PFFP area as a condition to any rezoning and prior to approval of certain permits within said area.
E. 
It is the further purpose of this chapter to rename specific existing appropriate trust funds previously established by Chapter 16.82 of the Sacramento County Code designated for the prior Elk Grove/West Vineyard Public Facilities Financing Plan (hereinafter in some instances referred to as "EGWV PFFP").

Where the amount of the credit is less than the amount of the otherwise applicable transit development fee, the property owner must pay the difference as set forth in Section 16.83.100.
C. 
Where the amount of the credit is greater than the amount of the development fee, the property owner shall be paid the difference only from the Vineyard Transit Fund within a reasonable time after the project is accepted by the Sacramento Regional Transit District.
D. 
If the transit facilities provider and a property owner agree, the property owner may receive a credit against the transit development fee in an amount not to exceed the value of property conveyed to the provider as determined by the Sacramento Regional Transit.
(SCC 1253 § 1, 2003)
To the extent property within Subzone 2 is subject to the Power Inn Road Assessment District, such property shall be credited with payment of Vineyard roadway development fees in the total amount of the principal and interest paid for such assessments as determined by the Administrator.
(SCC 1253 § 1, 2003)
Beginning March 31, 2014, and subsequently each year on March 1st, or as soon as possible thereafter, the Administrator shall authorize the adjustment of the program fee per development unit for each type of development in each fee category as follows:
A. 
A "mean" index will be computed by averaging the index for 20 U.S. Cities with the index for San Francisco by resort to the January issue of the Engineering News Record magazine Construction Cost Index of the year in which the calculation is being made.
B. 
An adjustment factor shall be computed by dividing the "mean" index as calculated in subsection A of this section by the "mean" index for the previous January, however, the March 2014 adjustment factor shall be computed by dividing the "mean" index as calculated in subsection A of this section by the "mean" index for January 2013, and, if a new program fee has been adopted after January of the previous year, the adjustment factor shall be computed by dividing the "mean" index from the month that the fee was adopted.
C. 
The adjusted program fee per development unit shall be calculated by multiplying the adjustment factor, as calculated in subsection B of this section, by the program fee per development unit in place prior to the annual adjustment.
D. 
The estimated cost of the facilities used in the capital improvement program and for calculating credits and reimbursements pursuant to Sections 16.83.150, 16.83.160, 16.83.170 and 16.83.180 shall be adjusted using the same adjustment factor pursuant to subsections A, B and C of this section.
(SCC 1253 § 1, 2003; SCC 1416 § 1, 2009; SCC 1450 § 1, 2010; SCC 1485 § 1, 2011; SCC 1501 § 1, 2011; SCC 1527 § 1, 2013; SCC 1552 § 1, 2014)
In the event a building permit expires pursuant to the County Building and Construction Code, a claim for refund of the development fees paid in connection with the expired building permit may be filed by the applicant or designee who paid the development fees with the Administrator. Unless such funds have been expended or otherwise committed, such a claim shall be granted, with the exception of the administration fee, whereupon, the amount previously paid, less expended or committed amounts, shall be refunded to that applicant or written designee, subject to availability of funds in each corresponding Fund. Such a refund shall not be paid until the Agency verifies that the building permit is void.
(SCC 1473 § 1, 2010)
In the event a building permit, whether issued before or after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, expires pursuant to the County Building and Construction Code, before such work may be commenced or recommenced, a new building permit shall be obtained, and such building permit may be issued only if any increase in the development fees in effect on the date of issuance are paid. If refunds were granted pursuant to Section 16.83.202, such building permit may be issued only if all development fees imposed pursuant to this chapter in effect on the date of issuance are paid, including the administration fee.
(SCC 1473 § 2, 2010)
A. 
This chapter is intended to establish a supplemental method for funding the cost of certain facilities the need for which will be generated by the level and type of development proposed in the Vineyard Springs Comprehensive Plan Community Plan or the applicable portions of the Elk Grove/West Vineyard Community Plan. The provisions of this chapter shall not be construed to limit the power of the Board to impose any other fees or exactions or to continue to impose existing ones, on development within the PFFP area, but shall be in addition to any other requirements which the Board is authorized to impose, or has previously imposed, as a condition of approving plans, rezoning or other entitlements within the PFFP area pursuant to State and local laws. In particular, individual property owners shall remain obligated to fund, construct, and/or dedicate the improvements, public facilities and other exactions required by, but not limited to: (1) the Sacramento County Public Works Agency Improvement Standards; (2) the Quimby Act (Government Code Section 66477 et seq.) and implementing ordinances (Chapter 22.40 of this code); and (3) school impact fees (Government Code Sections 65970 et seq.) and implementing ordinances; and County drainage fees (County Water Agency Ordinance No. 1). Any credits or repayments pursuant to Sections 16.83.150 and 16.83.160 shall not include the funding, construction or dedications described in this section.
B. 
The construction of facilities by a private owner pursuant to Section 16.83.150, 16.83.160, 16.83.170, or 16.83.180 shall be performed and contracted for only as required by law, including, but not limited to, compliance with the Agency's Improvement Standards, and requirements for public works, if applicable to the particular facility.
(SCC 1253 § 1, 2003)
A. 
This section shall apply to all development projects that participate in SCIP.
B. 
The development fees imposed by this chapter may be paid and financed pursuant to SCIP. SCIP includes two programs for funding eligible fees: (1) the Fee Reimbursement Program; and (2) the Fee Prefunding Program.
C. 
Fees, or portions of the fees, paid and financed pursuant to SCIP, including any interest earned, shall be invested in a local agency account held by CSCDA for the benefit of the County and shall be treated as though they were deposited in the trust funds established pursuant to this chapter.
D. 
Under the Fee Reimbursement Program, property owners that have paid development fees pursuant to Section 16.83.100 shall be reimbursed using proceeds from bonds issued by CSCDA. Fees paid pursuant to this program shall be deposited in the County's local agency account with CSCDA and shall be immediately available for requisition by the County for expenditures authorized by this chapter.
E. 
Under the Fee Prefunding Program, development fees are paid directly to the County by CSCDA from bond proceeds on behalf of property owners responsible for the payment of such fees pursuant to Section 16.83.100. Fees paid pursuant to this program shall be deposited in the County's local agency account with CSCDA and shall be immediately available for requisition by the County for expenditures authorized by this chapter. The portion of the fees financed through the Fee Prefunding Program shall be deducted from the property owner's fee payment obligations as calculated pursuant to this chapter. Any increases or adjustments in the fees shall be calculated and collected as provided in this chapter, less any amounts paid pursuant to SCIP.
(SCC 1616 § 29, 2017)
The Vineyard Fee Program Development Impact Fees shall not be applied to Accessory Dwelling Units 850 square feet or less and 1,000 square feet or less for multi-bedroom units. For all other accessory dwelling units, the Vineyard fee shall be charged in an amount which is the lesser of:
(a) 
A proportionate amount in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit based upon the Vineyard fee amount that the primary dwelling unit would pay; or
(b) 
The rate for an RD-20 unit with one occupant.
