RESOLUTION NO. 2012-056
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF REDDING AMENDING THE PROGRAM FOR TEMPORARY
WAIVER OF CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL IMPACT FEES
WHEREAS, "at the October 18,2011, regular meeting of the Redding City Council, the City
Council considered a report from the City Manager regarding the status of the City's various impact fee
programs; and
WHEREAS, outlined in the above-referenced report was a conceptual proposal to waive certain
impact fees to help rejuvenate the depressed residential construction business during this recession and
generate the associated economic benefits of new home construction for the City of Redding; and
WHEREAS, a limited waiver of certain fees, specifically traffic impact fees and sewer impact
fees, is justified due to the fact that there has been a recent influx of funding from the state and federal
government, unanticipated at the time the impact fee program was created, and those funds have been
used to pay for capital improvements anticipated to be funded with the impact fee program; and
WHEREAS, on November 15, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution 2011-194
implementing a temporary waiver of wastewater and traffic impact fees on new single- family dwellings,
as follows:
The single-family residential impact fees normally collected pursuant to Redding
Municipal Code Sections 16.20.090.C.1.a.i, 16.20.040.C.1 and 16.20.072.D.1 shall be
conditionally waived for the first 50 single-family residential dwelling-unit permits
issued prior" to June 30, 2012. A condition of the waiver is that the certificate of
occupancy (C of 0) for the dwelling must be issued no later than March 31,2013. If a
C of 0 is not issued by the March 31, 2013, deadline, the conditionally waived impact
fees shall be immediately due and payable to the City. All other fees imposed as a
condition of development shall remain in full force and effect.
WHEREAS, as of February 7,2012, twenty-nine (29) permits for single-family dwelling units
have been pulled and public requests have been made for the City to consider extending program
eligibility to duplexes.
WHEREAS, on February 21,2012, the City Council adopted Resolution 2012-014 amending
the temporary waiver of wastewater and traffic impact fees as follows:
In addition to the program approved on November 15,2011, the residential impact fees
normally collected pursuant to Redding Municipal Code Sections 16.20.090.C.1.a.i,
16.20.040.C., and 16.20.072.D shall be conditionally waived for the second 50 residential
dwelling-units for single-family residences or duplexes with permits issued prior to June
30, 2012. For duplex buildings, one building shall qualify for one credit of the 50
available and the credit against fees shall be limited to the same maximum credit allowed
per single-family dwelling unit. A condition of any waiver is that the certificate of
occupancy (C of 0) for the dwelling must be issued no sooner than February 8,2012, and
no later than March 31,2013. If a C of 0 is not issued by the March 31,2013, deadline,
