Dear Mayor Hunter: Fax 661:2.57.5045
www.biaglay.org
On behalf of the approximately 500 companies and their representative employees who
make up the Greater LA/Ventura Chapter of the Building Industry Association of
Southern California (BIA), thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed
Spring Road/Tierra Rejada Road Area of Contribution(AOC) Fee Increase.
After carefully reviewing the updated AOC fee increase, the 13IA finds that the proposed
fee raises many questions in the planning, amount,and timing of proposed increase. First
and foremost, it has only been a year since the last AOC fee increase to this particular
area. BIA/GLAV is concerned of the planning of the AOC fee proposal process. Greater
detail needs to be spent on the actual planning and research in the amount of the fee in
hopes to minimize constant increases and maximize the predictability of such a fee. This
can be done through a comprehensive AOC fee study that includes information from the
City's General Plan and arranges the AOC fee to cover a.series of years, instead of only
one year at a time.
In addition with concerns over the rapid repeated increase of the fee, the actual dollar
amount of increase also draws concern, The AOC fee's increase of ten percent does not
represent a normal annual CPI adjustment. It is important to be aware and vigilant of the
amount of fee increases, especially when increases are done so closely together.
We also have concerns with the timing of which the increases are coming and the amount
of increases the current housing market can absorb. As you may know, the housing
market is currently in a downward part of its usual cyclical phase. Fee increases, such as
this one proposed in Moorpark, can usually be absorbed when the market is up.But given
the market's current phase, we are concerned that the increase in fees can harm and
negatively effect development in the City of Moorpark. Developers will realistically
absorb the increased fees, yet pass the cost onto the consumer, furthering the cost of new
homes—and continuing to price many families out of the dream of home ownership.
The Building Industry Association of Greater Los Angeles/Ventura would like to offer its
expertise to help the City of Moorpark develop practical techniques to implement fee
Jun. 4. 2007 10: 11AM No. 6647 P. 3
increases that recognize the reality of the current market and meet the satisfaction of both
the City and the building industry.
Sincerely,
Terra C. Donlon
Vice President of External Affairs
