New Development Impact Fee Program Begins on November 1, 2024

On January 23, 2024, the Guadalupe City Council adopted a resolution approving the “CITY OF GUADALUPE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY” dated October 6, 2023. This study provided a nexus (connection) between the need for Public Safety improvements (facilities and equipment) due to the increase in development and population within the City. The Study calculated a fee that was adopted by City Council. The Ordinance requires new development to pay the following fees during the building permit process:

$2.92 per square foot for Residential

$3.80 per square foot for Non-residential Commercial

$5.82 per square foot for Non-residential Office

$2.07 per square foot for Non-residential Industrial

The new fees will be collected during the building permit process, beginning on November 1, 2024. Appeal of the fees can be made through the Planning Director per Section 13.28.040 of the Guadalupe Municipal Code. Questions regarding the Impact Fee Program should be directed to the Director of Public Safety, Chief Michael Cash, at (805) 343-2112. The fee ordinance requires annual review as well as making Findings every five years to show the fees are still necessary.
