Page 3 of 9 <br />The Draft Fee Update and Nexus Study addresses three main categories of fees: <br />1. Development Impact Fees, which include the City’s Capital Facilities Fee (CFF) and <br />Transportation Impact Fee (TIF), which offset the cost of new and expanded public <br />facilities and infrastructure to meet the demands of new residents and employees <br />associated with new development. <br />2. A Commercial Linkage Fee with respect to housing, which is intended to offset or <br />capture the impact of new commercial development on the demand for affordable <br />housing, in the form of contributing new employees and related housing demand. <br />3. An Affordable Housing Fee, also known as an “inclusionary in-lieu fee,” is levied for <br />residential projects that are not required to build on-site affordable housing units or that <br />may be permitted by the City to pay fees “in-lieu” of constructing units on-site. <br /> <br />Table 1 summarizes the maximum Capital Facilities Fee, Transportation Impact Fee, and <br />Commercial Linkage Fee that can be supported, based on the analysis in the study. While the <br />study supports increases to most of the fees, the City Council may choose, by policy, to set the <br />fees at or below the maximum. The proposed fees are to be levied on a per-square-foot basis <br />for all development types, including residential projects, which were previously assessed on a <br />per-unit basis. As shown in Table 2, there are some limited cases in which residential fees <br />would be charged per unit, for very large and very small units, for which there is lack of a direct <br />nexus between unit size and project impact above or below those size thresholds. <br /> <br /> Table 1: Summary of Maximum Development Impact Fees, Commercial Linkage Fees <br />and Inclusionary Housing Fees <br />Land Use Capital <br />Facilities <br />Fee1 <br />Transportation <br />Fee1 <br />Commercial <br />Linkage Fee <br />Inclusionary <br />In-Lieu Fee <br />Total <br />Residential (per sq. ft) <br />Single Family <br />Detached <br />$11.87 $8.23 -- $84.24 $104.35 <br />Townhome $11.87 $8.23 -- $42.10 $62.20 <br />Multi-Family $23.48 $12.47 -- $69.19 $105.14 <br />Non-Residential <br />Office (per sq. ft) $13.41 $31.50 $142.42 -- $187.34 <br />Retail (per sq. ft) $9.15 $48.35 $578.73 -- $636.26 <br />Industrial (per <br />sq.ft) <br />$4.02 $17.94 $143.39 -- $165.35 <br />Lodging (per <br />room) <br />$671 $12,908 $36,430 -- $50,009 <br />1.
