Council adopts minor adjustments to development impact fees tied to ENR index (0.3% increase)
Summary
Staff recommended and council approved a limited amendment to the city's master fee schedule for development impact fees based on a 0.3% ENR construction cost index increase; a comprehensive fee update was noted as forthcoming later this year.
City staff presented a public hearing item proposing adjustments to portions of the city's master fee schedule relating to development impact fees. The adjustments follow the enabling resolutions that authorize annual changes based on the Engineering News‑Record construction cost index for the San Francisco Bay Area.
The city manager noted the current 2026 index contains a 0.3% increase and said development impact fees would be adjusted accordingly. He also told the council that a more comprehensive update to impact fees is under way and staff anticipates presenting recommended adjustments later in the year.
Council members asked questions and expressed interest in reviewing a comprehensive impact‑fee update, particularly for housing impact fees. After discussion the council moved and approved the fee amendments (recorded in the minutes as carried with four yes votes among members present).
