Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore Votes to Streamline Affordable Housing Construction by Suspending Impact Fees on New Projects

Idea Category: Housing

Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore and the rest of the Board of Supervisors have voted to streamline the construction of affordable housing by temporarily suspending impact fees for new projects. Historically used to fund utilities, parks, and services, these fees are increasingly viewed by housing advocates as obstacles to new developments. The Board’s vote suspends these fees for a two year period, during which staff will study the current structure and determine more targeted alternatives.
