14 THE CITY OF _ f . G..1. a la L EAiiiSANTON4. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT September 18, 2018 City Manager Finance Community Development TITLE: CONSIDER RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2019 TO INCLUDE CHANGES TO CAPITAL FACILITY, TRANSPORTATION AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES SUMMARY The proposed update to the City's Development Impact Fees is a Council priority. Since the 1980s, the City established several development impact fees to mitigate the impact of new housing and commercial developments on the City's facilities, infrastructure, and available affordable housing. The City's development impact fees were established pursuant to AB 1600. These fees were last restructured in 1998. City staff worked with Economic & Planning Systems (EPS) to update these development impact fees based on the adopted General Plan and other related planning documents. Staff previously issued draft reports outlining the methodology and the maximum Development Impact Fees the City could charge. Staff initially presented the draft Development Impact Fee study at the May 1, 2018 City Council meeting subsequent to which staff made presentations to the City's Economic Development and Vitality Committee (EVC), Chamber of Commerce, Planning Commission and at a public workshop. Based on feedback received from stakeholders and other factors such as development impact fees of neighboring cities, staff developed recommended Development Impact Fee levels. Staff presented those recommendations to the EVC, City Council and Chamber of Commerce in August and September of 2018. In addition, staff developed three alternative Development Impact Fee scenarios for Council consideration. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that Council adopt a resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule to include proposed changes to the Capital Facility, Transportation and Affordable Housing Impact Fees.
