First St. <br />4 Townhomes restricted <br />for sale to Moderate- <br />Income Buyers <br />Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreements <br />Development impact fees are a one-time charge to new developments imposed under <br />the Mitigation Fee Act. These fees are charged to new developments to mitigate <br />impacts resulting from the development activity and cannot be used to fund existing <br />deficiencies. This means that for improvements that benefit existing as well as new <br />development, impact fees can only pay for the portion of the improvement that benefits <br />the new uses. Impact fees must be adopted based on findings of a reasonable <br />relationship between the development paying the fee, the size of the fee, and the use of <br />fee revenues. Development impact fees do not require voter approval and are <br />commonly used by cities to address the impact of new development on schools, parks, <br />transportation, etc. <br />Prior to issuance of any building permits, the City currently requires the payment of <br />various development impact fees. However, affordable housing developers may submit <br />a written request formally requesting the deferral of specific development impact fees <br />for their property pursuant to California Government Code section 66007. The City and <br />owner then execute a Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreement to defer certain <br />development impact fees applicable to the property and place a lien on the property to <br />secure payment of these fees, which are due before the issuance of the certificate of <br />occupancy or the final building check. As of the date of this report, the City has entered <br />into the following outstanding Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreements that are <br />pending payment: <br />Date of <br />Agreement Developer Housing Development <br />Address <br />Estimated Total Fees <br />Due <br />October 2019 <br />Santa Ana Pacific <br />Associates & Santa Ana <br />Pacific Associates II <br />2110, 2114 and 2020 <br />E.
