The record

Why it exists

“Exhibits "B" and "C" of the City of Ontario Development Impact Fee policies indicates that, within certain infrastructures, the project costs have been separated into two types of costs, they are: 1) Infrastructure projects that serve a local area referred to as Local Adjacent Projects; and 2) infrastructure projects that serve a larger regional area referred to as Regional Projects.”

What it pays for

“Schedule 8.1 identifies 38 sewer collection capital projects, (after fourteen of the original 52 have been completed and removed from the total), necessary to accommodate the remaining growth in the GC part of the City and also maintain the existing system. GC development will be responsible for some portion of 25 of the remaining 38 projects.”

Where it applies

“Similar to the circulation, storm drainage and water DIFs, sewer collection infrastructure will require separate DIF schedules for GC and OR in order to insure that existing GC users are not placed in the position of subsidizing OR area development. The GC DIF calculation and general sewer collection discussion will be in the beginning of the Chapter and the OR calculation will follow at the end of the chapter.”

Credits and offsets

“Credit for Developer Constructed Improvements Contained Within the City's MFP and Impact Fee Calculation. Similar to other infrastructure construction, it may be advantageous to have the developer construct certain public improvements contiguous to the private development. The adoption of DIFs should not preclude such agreements. Thus it is recommended that the City continue the process of agreeing to allow developers to make sewer system capital improvements that are identified within the City's MFP and that are part of the impact fee calculation, and receive a credit for that constructed amount. The net DIF would be the amount per the adopted schedules less the credit for the capital constructed by the developer.”

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
