Planning board adopts updated impact-fee schedule using 2025 data
Summary
After a public hearing the board adopted an updated impact-fee schedule that adds a fee for the Department of Public Works building and recalculates residential credits using 2025 values; the change was adopted as presented with minor editorial corrections noted.
The Brookline Planning Board held a public hearing and adopted an updated impact-fee schedule that uses 2025 valuation data and introduces an impact fee for the Department of Public Works building.
Planner (speaker 3) explained the update centered on refreshed data and credits; a resident offered editorial comments and requested consistent historical references. The planner identified a typographical item (a mistyped year in the DPW line) and the board directed staff to correct the non-substantive error. After discussion, the board adopted the schedule as presented.
The change updates the schedule and does not alter the underlying fee formula; the board noted it will review credits on a regular schedule so figures remain current.
The adoption will be implemented in the planning department's fee schedule and the corrected document will be posted online.
