City and county officials discuss aligning development impact fees for Bell‑Muir area
Summary
Committee members and county staff discussed coordination on development impact fees for the Bell‑Muir area; county staff said the general plan supports coordination and the county seeks consistency for areas likely to be annexed by Chico.
Councilmember Winslow identified the Bell‑Muir area as a target for development and urged City–County coordination so both jurisdictions “are all working towards the same goal.”
Public Works Director–Engineering Brendan Ottoboni said coordination with the County has improved over the past few years and emphasized a desire for consistency in fees when development occurs inside the City’s sphere of influence and will later be annexed by the City.
Butte County Development Services Director Paula Daneluk said coordinating project review and soliciting City comments is already part of the county’s general plan, and that staff will work through issues raised during individual project reviews.
The committee did not adopt a policy change at this meeting; the discussion centered on ongoing coordination efforts and the desire for fee consistency across adjacent jurisdictions as development proceeds.
