Further, this change is required to comply with AB 602 (Grayson), which went into effect on January 1, 2022 and requires the collection of residential impacts fees for parkland acquisition, capital improvements and maintenance and for traffic reduction fees and exactions associated with a project upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or the final inspection, whichever occurs last. Currently, City ordinance dictates that the Residential Impact Fee and Traffic Reduction and Transportation Improvement Fee shall be paid prior to the issuance of any building permit for new development.
