Off-Site Water (SPIF)

“The purpose of this chapter is to establish and impose a specific plan infrastructure fee (SPIF fee) on new development within the Folsom plan area that equitably spreads the burden of public improvements and facilities and distributes the cost of public lands and community parkland to development projects within the Folsom plan area. The SPIF fee is to be imposed consistent with the FPA development agreements and the PFFP covering all properties in the Folsom plan area.”

“The infrastructure fee component of the SPIF fee is to equitably spread the cost burden of improvements to roadway facilities, sanitary sewer facilities, potable water facilities, recycled water facilities, storm drainage facilities, habitat mitigation and other costs in the Folsom plan area as provided for in the PFFP among the landowners in the Folsom plan area, as provided in the study.”

“\u201cFolsom plan area\u201d means the property within the city of Folsom located south of Highway 50 within the approved specific plan.”

“The infrastructure fee component of the SPIF fee shall be paid at or prior to the issuance of any building permit within the specific plan. If a fee reimbursement is due pursuant to a fee reimbursement agreement when a landowner seeks to record a small-lot final map for single-family development in the Folsom plan area, the infrastructure fee component imposed shall be paid at or prior to the recordation of such small-lot final map, in accordance with the study.”

“A specific plan infrastructure fund shall be established by the finance director with four separate sub-accounts thereof to fund the (1) administration fee component, (2) infrastructure fee component, which shall include a separate set-aside fee component subaccount, (3) parkland fee component, and (4) public lands fee component. All SPIF fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be accounted for in the appropriate subaccounts of the fund and expended solely to finance administration, infrastructure, community parkland, and public lands, as applicable.”

“Portions of the Folsom plan area zoned for exempt public facilities are exempt from the SPIF fee unless and until such zoning is changed to private use. Once the SPIF fee is paid with respect to a residential development, the SPIF fee shall not thereafter be required to be paid in connection with the issuance of any building permit to remodel, reconstruct or expand any residential structure within such development that does not increase the number of dwelling units for such development upon which the SPIF fee was based.”

“Fee credits related to improvements or the dedication of public facility lands may be used against either the infrastructure fee component and/or the public lands fee component, but may not be applied against the parkland fee component or the administrative fee component. Furthermore, with respect to the first two thousand five hundred residential building permits, fee credits may not be applied against the SPIF set-aside component of the infrastructure fee component unless such fee credits relate to the constructing owner's construction of eligible Phase 1 sewer or Phase 1 and Phase 2 water infrastructure, as those terms are defined in the study.”
