Transportation Impact Fee - The City Council adopted an ordinance on February 26, 2013 that established a Transportation Impact Fee for new development and intensified land uses that will fund transportation network improvements such as new sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic signal upgrades, bus stops, transportation demand management, and bicycle facilities that are necessitated by the new trips associated with the land use change. The fees are based on a nexus study and calculated using residential units or commercial square footage and are increased annually by Construction Cost Index. Due to California State Assembly Bill No. 602 passed in 2021 the fee is no longer charged prior to issuance of building permits, but rather at the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The Transportation Impact Fee reflects the costs associated with transportation network improvements and the amount of new auto trips that can be attributed to land use changes.

In FY 2024-25, $50 of Water Demand Mitigation Fees were expended on the Recycled Water Main Expansion Project. This project was completed using Water Demand Mitigation Fee funds for 31% of the total cost.
The Water Demand Mitigation Fee - A one-time fee the City charges new development to mitigate the total daily water consumption rate projected for the development. The total daily water demand for the project is calculated using standard water demand factors which have been developed by City staff. The water demand mitigation fee is set at $3.00 for each gallon of daily water demand which must be mitigated. Effective, July 1, 2017, the Water Demand Mitigation Fee was replaced with the Water Neutrality Fee. The City will continue to collect Water Demand Mitigation revenues for permit applications submitted prior to July 1, 2017 with the following exception: Any new development applications for a building permit filed on or before November 27, 2018, that only results in a change of use of less than 6,000 square feet and/or an addition of less than 1,500 square feet, will be required to pay the water demand mitigation fee in effect as of November 27, 2018.
This fee is required when:
• Single-Family Residence -- for construction of a new residence or whenever adding 50% or greater to the square footage. • Multi-Family -- for construction of a new building or whenever new units are added. • Non-Residential -- for construction of a new building or whenever there is a change of use, changing or adding plumbing fixtures, or adding restaurant seats or square footage.
