Request more information and an additional Council hearing date. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Based on recent development levels, the City could receive over $3,000,000 in <br /> affordable housing impact fees per year. These amounts would likely vary widely <br /> depending on the timing of particular applications, use of alternative housing plans, and <br /> economic cycles. Staff recommends revisiting the fee in two years to assess outcomes <br /> and potentially modify the fee. <br /> There would be staff costs with collecting and administering the fee. The CDBG/HOME <br /> Administrator and staff would be the primary contact for this program. In consultation <br /> with the Planning Division, the program administrator would meet with developers and <br /> collect the fees. The City Council would direct how funds are spent. Staff is <br /> recommending as Exhibit D of the ordinance that an initial deposit of $1,500 be required <br /> to pay for staff time in collecting and administering the fee. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> The adoption of the ordinances and resolutions is not a project under the California <br /> Environmental Quality Act as they create a governmental funding mechanism that does <br /> not involve any commitment to a specific project that may result in a potentially <br /> significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b) (4)). <br /> Furthermore, even if these approvals were a project, they would be exempt from CEQA <br /> because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the fees may have a <br /> significant effect on the environment, in that the ordinance and resolution contain no <br /> provisions modifying the physical design, development, or construction of residences or <br /> nonresidential structures (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)). <br /> DIANA O'DELL <br /> PRINCIPAL PLANNER <br /> AARON J.AKNIN <br /> ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR <br />
