AGENDA REPORT CLQ, -40>~.ca
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Sean Corrigan, City Engineer/Public Works Director .,91w-174--
DATE: December 12, 2017 (CC Meeting of 12/20/2017)
SUBJECT: Consider Scheduling a Public Hearing for Los Angeles Avenue
Area of Contribution Fee Revisions
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution (LA AOC) fees were originally established
by the County of Ventura prior to the incorporation of the City. The purpose of these
fees is to provide mechanisms for future development projects, within specified
geographical areas, to finance specific transportation improvements. The LA AOC fee
was last adjusted in November of 2014. Certain changes in the scope and cost of
projects funded by this source make it necessary to recommend an adjustment to the
fee amounts. Government Code Section 66018 requires that a public hearing be held
prior to the adoption of a new development fee or an increase to any existing
development fee. It is recommended that a public hearing be held on February 7, 2018
to consider an adjustment to the LA AOC fees.
In preparation for the proposed public hearing, compliance with the public meeting and
notice requirements of Government Code Section 66016 will be met. The recommended
LA AOC fee adjustments will be provided to the Building Industry Association (BIA) and
to any other interested parties prior to the public hearing. Any fee increase approved by
the City Council will not become effective until sixty (60) days after the date the action
was taken to increase the fee.
DISCUSSION
The LA AOC fees were previously adjusted in November of 2014 to the amounts shown
below.
LA AOC Fee 2014
Residential (per dwelling unit) $8,683
Commercial/Industrial (per acre) $48,624

As with prior LA AOC fee adjustments, the 2018 adjustments are contemplated for the
purpose of establishing a fee amount sufficient to fund certain identified projects. The
costs for project design, construction and inspection have risen since the 2014 LA AOC
fee adjustment. Several of the projects require additional right-of-way, as well as review
and permitting by Caltrans, all of which have historically added significant cost and
delays to those projects.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Schedule a public hearing to consider an increase to the Los Angeles Avenue AOC fees
on February 7, 2018.
