One parcel will be developed with a 12,331-square-foot, 11-unit building with 24 at grade parking spaces. The other will be developed with a 10,152-square-foot, 8-unit building with 18 at grade parking spaces.
Zone Change No. 184-21changes the zoning of the site from Commercial General, Design Overlay (CG-D) to Specific Plan No. 23, Carson Lofts Specific Plan, which provides development standards to guide the development of the multiple-family residential development.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The project conditions of approval require payment of applicable Community Facilities District (CFD) and Interim Development Impact Fees (DIF) as follows:
• CFD $20,461.86. The subject property falls under “Residential - All Others” rate at $1,076.94 per unit per year through June 30, 2023. The 19-unit project’s currently estimated annual CFD amount for ongoing services is $20,461.86, subject to annual increases.
• DIF $351,225.64. The development impact fee is currently $18,485.56 per unit for Fiscal Year 2022-23. If paid during Fiscal Year 2022-23, the proposed development would be responsible for development impact fees of $351,225.64 (19 new units X $18,485.56 = $351,225.64). If the Project increases or decreases in size, the DIF Amount will be adjusted accordingly at the same rate.
