Sewer capacity fee

“Sewer Facility Fee – To provide for the expansion of collection and treatment capacities in the wastewater utility as specified in the City's Infrastructure Master Plan and Development Fee Program.”

“BWA used a "buy-in and expansion" methodology to establish new maximum sewer and water capacity fees on a per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) basis. Under this approach, new connections buy in for a proportionate share of existing facilities and pay for their fair share of expansion-related improvements to meet the capacity needs of new growth.”

“Future development subject to the City's development impact fees will include all development within the existing City limits and Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), excluding development in the Northeast Area (DIF Boundary).”

“Development Impact Fees (DIF's) are paid by new development projects as a mechanism to mitigate impacts on public facilities and infrastructures created as a result of new development. These fees are typically collected at the time a building permit is issued.”

City of Vacaville, the agency that levies it

“Separate and unique DIF funds have been established to manage and account for each of the following types of public facilities: Parks and Recreation, Greenbelt Preservation, General Facilities, Police, Fire, Traffic, Storm Drain Detention, Storm Drain Conveyance, Sewer Collection and Treatment, and Water Distribution and Storage. Interest on each DIF fund is credited to that fund or account and used only for those purposes for which the fees were collected.”

“Single family size ranges established based on differences in estimated persons per household. There is an impact fee exemption from accessory dwelling units (ADUs) under 750 sf. ADUs above 750 sf pay fees based on the proportion of the square footage of the ADU to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. Senior-restricted units have lower traffic fee based on their low trip reduction.”

“The City's Municipal Code, Chapter 11.01 addresses development impact fees and describes many of the key policies and procedures for fee administration and implementation, including impact fee funds, impact fee adjustments, and impact fee credits and reimbursements, among others.”

“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the updated residential fees will fully take effect on July 1, 2023; until that time, residential builders will have the option of paying the updated fees or the existing fees; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the updated nonresidential fees will be phased in over three years; beginning on July 1, 2023, the fees will increase by 1/3, and with each subsequent July, the fees will go up 1/3 until the updated fees are fully in effect beginning July 1, 2025”
