Supervisor Mahmood introduced an ordinance to amend the Building and Planning Codes to comply with California Government Code, Section 66007, regarding the postponement of development impact fees.

The Land Use and Transportation Committee referred the ordinance to the Planning Department for review and recommendation.

The Planning Department determined that the ordinance is not defined as a project under CEQA guidelines, indicating it would not result in a physical change in the environment.

The Building Inspection Commission held a public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance.

The Planning Commission adopted findings that the ordinance is consistent with the City’s General Plan and recommended its approval.

The Land Use and Transportation Committee recommended the ordinance for passage to the Board of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors finally passed the ordinance, which was subsequently approved by the Mayor.
