When the City Council <br />adopted impact fees, some fees were established below the maximum amounts justified by nexus <br />studies so that the fees were competitive with neighboring jurisdictions. However, in some cases <br />the adopted fees are well below those maximum amounts, and the levels established by <br />neighboring jurisdictions, which reduces the City’s ability to collect fees from market-rate projects <br />to support affordable housing goals, and to fund necessary infrastructure. And, although the <br />Affordable Housing Fee does reflect a differentiation in fee levels based on unit size, the <br />differences are minimal. Considering fees on a per square foot basis could help to encourage <br />more production of smaller units. Pursuant to this, and in accordance with AB 1505, the Housing <br />Element includes a program to review fees (for residential and non-residential development) and <br />consider adjusting them upwards, if doing so would not unduly constrain new investment, and <br />with the next update of the nexus studies, to study imposing impact fees for residential uses on a <br />per-square-foot basis (Program 2.3). <br />
