GARDEN GROVE : Hike in Development Fees to Be Considered
The Garden Grove Unified School District Board of Education will hold a public hearing tonight to consider increasing development fees on residential and commercial projects within the district.
Spokesman Alan Trudell said the board will consider adoption of a two-tiered fee structure for residential construction. A $1.65 fee would be applied to residential remodeling that increases habitable area by 500 to 1,500 square feet.
Additionally, a $2.65 fee would be applied to remodeling projects that increased habitable space by more than 1,500 square feet. The $2.65 fee will also apply to all new residential development. The current fee for all residential construction of 500 square feet or more is $1.50 per square foot.
The board will also consider increasing the fee for commercial projects from 25 cents to 27 cents per square foot.
Both the commercial and residential rates have not been revised since their adoption in 1987, Trudell said.
The hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the boardroom of the district Education Center, 10331 Stanford Ave., Garden Grove.
