Update transportation impact fees for new development projects
In Plain English
The city charges developers fees when they build new projects to help pay for road improvements needed due to increased traffic. The current fee structure dates to an older study and needs updating based on 2019 analysis. If approved, the city joins a regional agreement with other West County cities to coordinate these fees.
