RD 784 Drainage Impact Fee

“RD 784 has a drainage impact fee program in place to fund drainage improvements serving new development in Basins A, B, and C. A discrete fee is computed by EPS for each drainage basin based on the drainage improvements required to serve benefitting development in each individual basin.”

“Under the executed grant agreement, YWA will fund up to $4,605,750 (75%) of eligible project costs, with the remaining $1,535,250 (25%) funded through District-collected Basin C impact fees.”

“Basin A fee rates would apply to Sawyer's Landing and Bear River only. Drainage Basin A-1 rates would apply to all other Basin A development. Note that the fees for each basin are mutually exclusive and not additive.”

“Under District policy, all drainage impact fees for an entire parcel are typically collected at the time of grading permit issuance or prior to recordation of a final map, whichever occurs first. This process is generally coordinated through the county permit clearance routing process.”

“This process is generally coordinated through the county permit clearance routing process. However, because the project is proceeding through the Division of the State Architect (DSA), the District was not aware that construction had commenced.”

“Excludes parks, which are exempt from the fee.”

“After consulting with the District's staff, engineer, and attorney, the Board found that the Drainage Basin C Advanced Funding Impact Fee could be reduced without jeopardizing future drainage improvements or reimbursements to developers that paid into the Drainage Basin C Advanced Funding Impact Fee Program.”
