RE: Development Impact Fees
Steve Galvez
Dear Council Members,
My name is Steve Galvez and I am the owner of APN 913-350-009 & 011 located on the corner of Calle De Fortuna and Date Street. I currently have a planning application in process (DP2023-2771) for residential units. I have recently been made aware of a drastic increase in the DIF fees. However, as a property owner with a current planning application in process, was never noticed of the pending increases.
I request that the Council strongly consider that all planning application in process should be grandfathered in for any pending increases with all DIF fees.
In this period of rising interest rates, labor costs, inflation and lack of affordability in our cities these such actions continue to worsen existing conditions. As a developer, it becomes difficult to process plans with unannounced/unnoticed rising DIF fees.
I respectfully ask the Council to consider our concerns and those of the public at large as they are they carry the ultimate burden of any increases.
Respectfully,
Steve Galvez
