Otay Mesa Local Mobility DIF

“As the Otay Mesa community develops, an increasing amount of future development will occur on non-assessed properties. DIF are collected to mitigate the public facilities impacts of additional development of properties that do not otherwise have an FBA lien on their property. The same methodology is used to calculate a DIF that is applicable to new development within the community that is not otherwise required to pay the FBA. The City has determined that there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the FBA and DIF and the public facilities burdens posed by new development.”

“The public facilities anticipated to be financed by Otay Mesa FBA and DIF funds are shown on the Project Summary Table beginning on page 21. The FBA/DIF fund also covers the administrative costs associated with the development, implementation and operation of the FBA and DIF. Project categories include transportation, park and recreation, police, fire-rescue, and library facilities.”

“That in addition to the Citywide Mobility DIF, single-family dwelling units in the Otay Mesa community shall be required to pay the existing Otay Mesa DIF to fund local mobility needs in Otay Mesa in the amount of $13,233 per single-family dwelling unit, which includes up to a 5 percent administrative fee.”

“RESOLUTION NUMBER R-314273 / DATE OF FINAL PASSAGE AUG 09 2022 / A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO ADOPTING A NEW CITYWIDE MOBILITY DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE, AND AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURE OF UP TO $500,000 IN CITYWIDE MOBILITY AND PARK DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES WHERE NEEDED TO LEVERAGE EXISTING COMMUNITY-SPECIFIC FUNDS TO DELIVER INFRASTRUCTURE TO COMMUNITIES.”

Resolution No. R-314273

“RESOLUTION NUMBER R-314273 / DATE OF FINAL PASSAGE AUG 09 2022 / A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO ADOPTING A NEW CITYWIDE MOBILITY DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE, AND AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURE OF UP TO $500,000 IN CITYWIDE MOBILITY AND PARK DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES WHERE NEEDED TO LEVERAGE EXISTING COMMUNITY-SPECIFIC FUNDS TO DELIVER INFRASTRUCTURE TO COMMUNITIES.”

“Development Impact Fees (DIF) are generally due no later than before requesting the final inspection of completed building(s) per San Diego Municipal Code Section 142.0640. Applicants reserve the option to pay at Building Permit issuance.”

City of San Diego, the agency that levies it

“FBA and DIF revenues will be placed into separate interest bearing special funds. These funds are used within the Otay Mesa community solely for those public facilities and administrative costs identified in the Financing Plan. Because of the more uncertain timing associated with future DIF revenues, DIF funds will be budgeted into CIP projects as revenues are received.”

“Note: Development at the City-owned Brown Field Airport is not required to pay an FBA and therefore, will not have an FBA lien placed on the Brown Field Airport property. However, it is expected that currently anticipated development at the Brown Field Airport will be required to pay DIF, which is equal to the amount that it would otherwise be required to pay as FBA.”

“Expenditures which may be applied against FBA/DIF funds include: direct payments for facility costs including administrative costs, and credits and cash reimbursement to developers for facilities provided pursuant to a Council-approved reimbursement agreement. Whether a developer or the FBA/DIF originally funds a facility, direct payments, credits, and cash reimbursements are all treated as expenses to the FBA/DIF funds. Pursuant to the terms of a reimbursement agreement with the City, a developer may be issued credits against its fees for expenditures related to providing facilities. Alternatively, an approved reimbursement agreement with the City may allow developer(s) cash reimbursement from FBA/DIF funds.”

“That this Resolution shall be effective 60 days after the date of final passage of this Resolution, or on the effective date of San Diego Ordinance O-2023-6, adopting amendments to the San Diego Municipal Code, to implement Build Better SD, whichever occurs later, and shall be in effect at the time of application submission, in accordance with San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 14, Article 2, Division 6, plus automatic annual increase in accordance with San Diego Municipal Code section 142.0640(b), except that where the Citywide Mobility DIF would result in an increase from any other applicable mobility component of a DIF from July 1, 2022, such increases shall go into effect beginning July 1, 2023.”
