Planning staff outlines first consolidated Development Impact Fee report and EPIC implementation updates
Summary
Planning staff presented the inaugural consolidated Development Impact Fee Report and an update from the Interagency Plan Implementation Committee (IPIC) on grants and financing tools including recent grant awards and potential infrastructure financing districts.
Planning staff briefed the commission on two reports: the Interagency Plan Implementation Committee (IPIC) annual report and the city’s first consolidated Development Impact Fee Report, both intended to increase transparency and to accelerate implementation of area‑plan infrastructure.
Kirsten Dissinger described recent grant awards for Market/Octavia, Mission Streetscape and Seventeenth/Folsom park projects, work on corridor and circulation studies, and the IPIC’s efforts to identify specific projects for grant applications. The controller’s office representatives who drafted the development impact fee report explained the consolidation of approximately 23 fee programs into a single monitoring and administration section and the annual indexing of fees to an infrastructure construction cost inflation estimate; this year’s index raised several fees by about 3% (example: Rincon Hill fee from $8.60 to $8.86 per gross sq ft).
Commissioners asked whether the reports and fee tables would be available online and how fees and indexing had been calculated (construction cost index versus Bay Area CPI). Staff said the reports and the fee schedule are available via the planning and Department of Building Inspection websites and that indexing aligns fees to a construction cost inflation metric approved by the capital planning committee.
The commission thanked staff and accepted the reports; commissioners requested follow‑up briefings with CAC chairs to discuss priorities and implementation timelines.
