22 What are the financial impacts of PFF reductions? Existing PFF Reduction Program reduced revenues by $4.8 million to date The SESP would reduce revenues another $22.10 million The cumulative revenue reduction would be $27 million

23 Conclusion City Council expressed interest in encouraging development in by waiving the collection of Public Facilities Fees and asking staff to propose specific additional fee reductions for South and Downtown. The existing PFF Reduction program has not overcome prevailing economic factors or resulted in a significant increase in development. The options presented would have potential financial impacts depending on the City Council action taken. Establishing a fee waiver program based on existing infrastructure in anticipation of PFF program revisions after completion of the General Plan process and associated nexus study would be reasonable. City staff recommend that the Council only consider reductions to the PFFs identified as Public Buildings, Street Improvements, and Parks to maximum amount of $12,459.
