San Luis council adopts land-use assumptions, sets public hearing on development fees
Summary
The San Luis City Council approved Resolution 23-60 to adopt land use assumptions and an infrastructure improvement plan and declared the report a public record; staff said the approval is a step toward a May 28 public hearing and final adoption of updated development fees required by state law.
The San Luis City Council on an April evening approved Resolution 23-60, adopting the city’s land use assumptions and infrastructure improvement plan and declaring the report a public record.
Jose Guzman, director of development services, told the council the update is part of the statutorily required five-year review of development fees and that adopting the documents now lets staff proceed to a scheduled public hearing on the fees and the final fee adoption on May 28. “This item is part of the process for the update of the development fees, which is required by state law to be done every 5 years,” Guzman said.
The resolution also declares the development-fee report a public record, which city staff said will reduce publication costs associated with subsequent notifications. Guzman described the current action as adoption of the land use assumptions and the infrastructure improvement plan; the fee-specific public hearing and final vote on fees will follow.
Vice Mayor Tadeo moved to approve Resolution 23-60; Councilor Vargas seconded. The motion passed with four votes in favor and one abstention. Mayor Nieves Bridal disclosed a conflict and abstained from the item, which the meeting record shows as an abstention.
Councilors did not record substantive public comment on the plan at the meeting; Guzman said a public hearing on the draft had been held earlier in March and no comments had been received since that session.
The next step, as explained by staff, is the May 28 public hearing on the proposed development fees and a later adoption vote on those fees if the council chooses to proceed.
For now, the council’s action establishes the land use assumptions and infrastructure improvement plans as the city’s working documents and places the development-fee schedule on the May 28 calendar for public review and final consideration.
