The record

Why it exists

“The purpose of the Nexus Study is to establish the nexus (connection) between the development that is projected to occur in the Financing Plan Area and the necessary public facilities that will be funded by the three new development impact fee programs adopted by the City - the Public Facilities Fee, the Drainage Fee, and the Transit Fee, totaling about $223 million.”

Credits and offsets

“Individual or groups of development projects within a sub-area (e.g., quadrant, drainage basin) may fund the cost of facilities scheduled to be funded through a fee program or a financing district with an additional Mello-Roos CFD, an Assessment District, or private funding. When private funding is used, the developer will receive fee credits against the PFF or other fees owed pursuant to the Financing Plan. When funding occurs through public financing mechanisms (e.g. Mello-Roos CFD or Assessment District), the developers will be reimbursed the actual allowable costs of constructing the facility.”

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
