Multi-Service Centers (DIF)

“Section 4. PURPOSE. This ordinance serves the following purposes: a. It establishes and sets forth policies, regulations, and Fees relating to the funding and installation of the Facilities necessary to address the direct and cumulative environmental effects generated by new development projects described and defined in this ordinance. b. It establishes the authorized uses of the Fees collected.”

“The purpose of this fee is to generate revenue to fund the regional multi-service center facilities needed to serve new development. As the name implies, regional multi-service centers provide a variety of services including family care centers, health care clinics, mental health services and public social services.”

“The time period covered in this study corresponds with facilities needed by new development occurring between 2024 and 2050. This report identifies the fair share public facilities costs attributed to new development in both incorporated and unincorporated areas of Riverside County. However, consistent with the previous DIF studies, it is assumed that DIF fees will only be applied in the unincorporated areas.”
