Supervisors Vote to Cut County Transportation Impact Fees
The Coun
ty Board of Supervisors voted to reduce its Transportation Impact Fee Program by $500 million. The major reduction is due to its new General Plan that directs future growth closer to existing towns and infrastructure resulting in a less expansive road network.
Supervisors voted unanimously to approve the BIA preferred option that creates a built in credit program for residential and non-residential developments and reduces the total program costs from $935 million to $420 million. Fees will drop an average of 45% county wide with the North County region experiencing the largest reduction of 60%.
The board directed staff to return with an ordinance within 120 days and to work with the regulated community to ensure the plan is consistent with the mitigation fee act that prevents jurisdictions from overcharging for project impacts.
