SUBJECT: 2008 Public Facilities Impact Fees
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Conduct second hearing on and adopt an Ordinance amending Title 17 - Divisions of Land, Chapter 17.90 - Public Facilities Impact Fees and Schedule of Fees, of the Fresno County Ordinance Code, to discontinue public facilities impact fees established in 2008 but maintaining authorization to establish new public facilities impact fees in the future; and waive reading of the Ordinance in its entirety.

The proposed Ordinance would maintain authority for your Board to consider establishing a new public facilities impact fee program supported by a new capital improvement plan and a new impact fee study. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. The Board previously directed staff to develop public facilities impact fees (PFIF) that are structured differently than the PFIF established in 2008, and directed Department of Public Works and Planning staff to prepare a new capital improvement plan (CIP) and impact fee study.
