Description

Residential development impact fee assessments; adequate public facilities. Allows localities to adopt ordinances for the assessment of impact fees and acceptance of cash proffers when certain public facilities are inadequate to support a proposed residential development. If the proposed development is for senior residents only, then impact fees may be assessed and cash proffers may be accepted in relation to the adequacy of public safety, or public sewer or water facilities. For all other proposed residential developments, the impact fees may be assessed, and the cash proffers may be accepted, in relation to the adequacy of education, transportation, or public water or sewer needs. Such fees and proffers shall be a pro rata share of the costs of reasonable and necessary capital improvements attributable to the proposed development. Prior to any impact fee assessment or acceptance of cash proffers, the locality must identify the particular public facility needs in its comprehensive plan, and must have in place a capital improvement program that provides a reasonable basis for determining the extent or level of inadequacy of such facilities in the area of the proposed development. If the locality does not apply impact fees or cash proffers paid by a developer to the capital project that served as the basis for such assessment or acceptance within six years of collection, then the developer may seek a writ of mandamus to compel the locality to do so. Any impact fee ordinance and any cash proffer ordinance shall expire after six years, and may then be adopted for consecutive six-year periods. Read the Bill »
