The Jobs/Housing fee (listed in the Housing and Community Development fees section) is being increased from $5.89 per square foot to $5.90 per square, an increase of just 0.17%. This does not seem correct - construction costs, which are the benchmark for the jobs/housing fee - have been increasing rapidly over the past several years and an increase of just 0.17% seems to be much too low.
We ask that staff return with the data used to calculate the fee increase .
