DISCUSSION:
SA Golden Investments Inc. (“Owner”) is the owner of a multi-family residential development at the location of 8153 Banana Ave, Fontana, California, 92335 (“Property”). The Property is an apartment complex that consists of a three-story apartment building with a total of 24 units and associated amenities, on approximately 27,172 square feet of land. Owner has requested for a deferment of the development impact fees from the City and the City is willing to defer the payment of City development impact fees pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreement (“DIF Deferral Agreement”). The impact fees deferred are only those impact fees imposed or levied by the City upon the development of the Property, but such deferment does not apply to other fees imposed by the City, nor shall it apply to fees levied by the County, School Districts, or any other public agency. The key terms of the DIF Deferral Agreement and for the deferment of the impact fees are as follows:
1. This deferral shall only apply to development impact fees levied by the City. It shall not apply to any other fees levied by the City, nor shall it apply to fees levied by the County, School District, or any other public entity.
2. The fees deferred by the City shall accrue interest at a rate of 10% simple interest annually if not paid by the Maturity Date.
3. Owner shall pay the principal sum of the Deferred Fees 1) within ninety (90) days of the date of issuance of the final occupancy clearance (the “Certificate of Occupancy” or “COO”) for Building, Permit Nos. BLD-24-01341, or 2) the close of escrow date if the Property or the Project is sold, whichever is earlier, but in no event shall the Deferred Fees for the Project be paid later than May 28, 2026.
4. Owner shall enter into a Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreement with the City to provide the terms and conditions for the deferral of the development impact fees.
5. City shall record this Agreement against the Property upon full execution by the City and Owner and will file a release of lien when the Deferred Fees plus any interest, charges and fees have been fully paid and satisfied.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The deferment of the impact fees will mean that the City will not receive the impact fees up to 90 days after the date of issuance of the final certificate of occupancy for the project described above, or the close of escrow date if the Property or Project is sold, but not later than May 28, 2026.
