Traffic Impact Fee - Southeast Shafter

“In accordance with Assembly Bill 1600, the City of Shafter has enacted a development impact fee program (reference Table IV-4) to ensure new development pays only for its impacts and not for existing deficiencies caused by prior development.”

“Traffic Mitigation Improvement Capital Projects Fund - This fund was established to account for expenditures for the cost of traffic related projects.”

“The fee structure incentivizes effective use of services and compact development in that residential development in the City Core area is generally subject to lower development impact fees than residential development in Southeast Shafter due to the existing developed infrastructure and lower cost of providing services in the City Core area.”
