Mayor Pro Tern Richardson asked why tenant improvements (TI's) to an approved project require <br />staff review when the project to which the TI is attached has already been reviewed and approved. <br />PWA Executive Director Jim Ross responded that a separate TI review is necessary to assure the <br />City that the tenant improvements do not exceed the original standards approved for the project. <br /> <br />IMPACT FEES <br /> <br />City Engineer Alvarez enumerated the City and non-City impact fees which are collected prior to <br />the issuance of a building permit. City impact fees consist of Transportation System Improvement <br />Program (TSIP) fees, drainage assessments, and connection fees for sewer and water. Non-City <br />impact fees, which are collected by the City for other agencies, include Orange County Sanitation <br />District fees and Transportation Corridor fees. <br /> <br />Alvarez explained that TSIP fees are governed by two Santa Aha Joint Powers Agreements, one <br />with the City of Orange and the other with the City of Tustin. Alvarez also pointed out that "in- <br />fill housing" (i.e., residential developments having four or less dwelling units on the entire project <br />site) are exempt from TSIP fees. <br /> <br />Staff showed charts depicting the various fee rates, improvement projects financed by the fees, <br />and an Impact Fee Comparison which noted Santa Ana as having the lowest impact fees among <br />six similar cities. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tern Richardson requested staff provide Council with a list of all City fees. <br /> <br />Councilmembers discussed issues relating to exactions including but not limited to ramifications of <br />the Nollan and Dolan Supreme Court rulings, how fee rates are calculated, tenant improvement <br />projects, over-the-counter project reviews, Mello-Roos and school district impact fees. <br /> <br />Planning Commissioner Alexander Nalle requested staff to compare the cost of developing a <br />private project in Santa Ana and in a South County jurisdiction. City Manager David Ream <br />suggested using Santa Margarita for comparison. <br /> <br /> ADJOURNMENT - 7:30 P.M. <br /> <br /> · <br />~iaja ~ <br /> Assistant Clerk of the Council <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 80 MARCH 30, 1995 <br /> <br /> <br />
