Report
BACKGROUND
The Public Hearing Item, Action on a Resolution Establishing the Average Per-Acre Land Values and Parkland In Lieu Fee Schedule for New Residential Development FY2018-19 was scheduled for hearing on April 9, 2019, but will not be considered for action on that day. In conformance with state law, notice of the April 9, 2019 Council Meeting hearing was published twice in the Santa Clara Weekly, with the first publication taking place at least 10 days prior to the April 9 meeting.
The item was previously heard at the May 8, 2018 City Council Meeting. After hearing from stakeholders and members of the community, and prior to adoption of updated fees for FY2018-19, Council directed staff to conduct additional outreach, discussion and review of the Quimby Act (Quimby) and Mitigation Fee Act (MFA) fees and to consider the concerns expressed by residential developers regarding the proposed substantial fee increase.
