Nexus Study for Traffic
Impact Fee, Retail Impact
Fee, BMR Impact Fee
No Change With almost every infill project approval and revision, we are losing almost all retail with almost zero parking. New units tend to provide more town homes, rather than much needed smaller starter units or senior flats. With potential
challenges to waive impact fees and design standards, a defensible Nexus study is necessary to protect the city in order to collect impact fees since California Constitution does not allow unfunded mandates levied on cities.
Proceed with nexus studies to review
a range of impact fees and other
means of offsetting conversion of
commercial land uses to residential.
