THE FAIR SHARE PRINCIPLES
It is recommended that Jurisdictions:
1. Notice. Provided sixty (60) days notice if effective date of any fee
increases.
2. Public Hearing. Publish notice and hold hearing prior to consideration of
fee increase along with mailed notice to any petitioning party pursuant to
Section 54992 of the Government Code.
3. Resolutions. Do not amend enabling resolutions. Work for the inclusion
of all development fees in one new, comprehensive resolution.
4. Volume Adjustment. Adopt reduced rates for subsequent plan check
and inspection of identical buildings.
5. Source Documents. Insure that the actual fee authorization document
with official signature is available for distribution by development services
agency or city clerk upon request.
6. Other Agencies. Publish, and clearly display, contact list of any other
known agency that may claim regulatory jurisdiction.
7. Payment Timing. Honor deferred payment rules under Government code
Section 53077.5.
8. Nexus and Need. Provide evidence of fee nexus and identified need
through generation of nexus study and a needs assessment in
accordance with State Law.
9. Establish Specific Benefit Areas. Assessment fees are within clearly
defined boundaries for benefited properties and not be utilized to
subsidize other tax -supported facilities or services. An adopted plan of
expenditures and implementation schedule should be in place prior to
adoption according to State Law.
10. Documents Kept Current. Cost -of -living increase is documented in
newly published schedules. No undisclosed, intermediate calculations are
required to determine one's probable liability.
11. School Fees. School fees only be implemented with a school facilities
master plan, adopted budget, and specific spending plans adopted after
public hearing.
