OXNARD : Council OKs Fee Hikes for Developers
The Oxnard City Council approved a series of fee increases for developers Tuesday, but others were held up until after a public hearing later this month.
The council approved a 15.3% increase in water fees, a 17.6% increase in drainage fees and a 2.8% boost in construction fees--all of which were backed by the development community and the Building Industry Assn.
However, the council has yet to decide on at least a dozen other increases proposed by planning staff earlier this year, including a 126% increase in the traffic mitigation fee.
The council has scheduled an Oct. 22 study session to try to reach an agreement with developers on the issue.
