The record
“The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of waste management facilities, primarily landfills and transfer stations.”
“The County can use waste management facilities fee revenues for the construction or purchase of waste management facilities that expand the capacity of waste management facilities to accommodate new development.”
“Waste management facilities collect refuse from both residents and businesses countywide.”
“Public facilities fees are one-time fees typically paid when a building permit is issued and imposed on development projects by local agencies responsible for regulating land use (cities and counties).”
“The Kern County Board of Supervisors may only impose impact fees on new development in unincorporated areas. The city councils of the incorporated cities in the County would need to adopt the fees on behalf of the County for the fees to be imposed in incorporated cities.”
“After adoption there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before the fees go into effect.”
