DPFG's involvement leads to reduction of impact fees in the City of Live Oak

September 30th, 2005

From The Building Industry Association of Superior California (BIA)

 

"For the past two months, the BIA and local landowners have been working with the City of Live Oak as they worked to update their AB 1600 impact fees.  Initially the city proposed to increase the fee from $6,500 to $29,000.  The BIA was successful in immediately pulling the item from the council’s agenda to allow the development community to review the increase.  BIA staff pulled together a meeting of local developers and hired the Development Planning & Finance Group -- a local firm dedicated to representing the private sector – to review the city’s AB 1600 justification study.  As a result the BIA was able to negotiate a new fee of $18,000.
