New development necessitates new or enhance public infrastructure to support the new development itself, or the demand for public services and facilities that accompanies new developments. To pay for new or enhanced public infrastructure, the City imposes an impact fee in developers. This fee ensures that developers pay their fair share of public sector costs. The City of San Francisco has contracted with the Financial Consulting Group (FCS) to update impact fees for five public facility types: transit, child care, parks, fire, and public works. FCS has awarded a sub-contract to LFA to conduct the development stakeholder evaluation. This evaluation assesses development stakeholder views, interests, and recommendations regarding impact fees and associated City practices.
