Subject:April 3rd meeting impact fees
I would like to address the Water and sewer impact fees for Accessory dwelling units
I am building some ADU’s in the city
I would like the council to consider reducing or eliminating the impact fees on all ADUs including those which are in the
process of being permitted or built regardless of there status as owner occupied.
The fees are significant. In some of the cases I’m not adding any bathrooms just 2 to 300 sf of bedrooms to an existing
structure
The fees for this are almost $4,500
In keeping with the intent of AB 1069 I think reducing or eliminate the fees will encourage the construction of the units
and significantly reduce the barriers
The ADU law is helping reduce the over all rent.
I have signed leases for the units and have reduced the per bedroom cost by $170 a bedroom
This is a great step toward more affordable housing in SLO.
As more of these units are built it will drive the per bedroom price down even further .
Please consider reducing or eliminate all impact fees for all ADUs regardless of the owner occupancy status.
Thank you
David Scarry
