The County of Humboldt invites you to participate in an informational meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 9 to discuss the formation of a proposed traffic impact fee for the Greater Eureka Area.
The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. at the Humboldt Community Services District Office, located at 5055 Walnut Drive in Eureka. The consultant retained by the county, TJKM, will be on-hand to present information regarding the proposed fee.
Transportation impact fees are one-time fees typically paid prior to the issuance of a building permit and imposed on development projects by local agencies responsible for regulating land use (cities and counties). To guide the widespread imposition of public facilities fees, the State Legislature adopted the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act) with Assembly Bill 1600 in 1987 and subsequent amendments. The Act, contained in California Government Code §§66000-66025, establishes requirements on local agencies for the imposition and administration of fee programs.
A draft report for this fee is now available on the Public Works, Land Use web page.
Comments on the proposed fee will be accepted until Feb. 26 at 5 p.m. You can direct written comments to both:
