Walnut Creek <br />After two years of analysis and an economic feasibility analysis based on a comprehensive residential development fee <br />burden, the City Council on Aug. 1, 2017, voted to increase its affordable housing impact and in -lieu fee on new <br />residential development from $15 per sq. ft. to $18 per sq. ft. starting Jan. 1, 2018.
