COUNCIL GOALS:

DISCUSSION:
Fontana Municipal Code (“FMC”) Section 27-52 requires that an applicant applying for a tentative tract map, permit for construction of any new structure or building on undeveloped property, or a permit for substantial rehabilitation of any existing building on an existing lot of record place underground all new, upgraded, or existing on-site or off-site utilities. However, Section 27-54 permits the City’s Community Development Director (now serving as the Development Services Director) to allow an applicant to pay a sum in lieu of undergrounding off-site utilities if the Community Development Director determines that it would be impracticable, infeasible or disproportionately financially burdensome to require the undergrounding of on-site or off-site utilities. Here, the City’s Community Development Director has determined that it would be impracticable, infeasible and disproportionally financially burdensome to require Aman Brar to underground on-site/off-site utilities at the location of 14562 Slover Avenue, Assessor Parcel Number 0236-052-47, and the parties wish to enter into a sum in lieu of utility undergrounding deferral and lien agreement to defer payment and the City will provide a lien against the associated property as security.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact associated with the Sum in Lieu of Utility Undergrounding Deferral and Lien Agreement is an increase in revenue of approximately $91,200.00 over the term of the agreement.
MOTION:
Approve the Sum in Lieu of Utility Undergrounding Deferral and Lien Agreement and Sum in Lieu of Utility Undergrounding Lien.
