Residents of newly constructed homes will see higher water and sewer fees, as well as impact fees, after a vote this week of the Grass Valley City Council.
For a single-family home the impact fee will rise from $5,115 to $5,279, or $164 more per year. The increase will take effect Sept. 1.
Impact fees are one-time fees assessed when a structure is built.
“For people who move into these new units, they do use police and fire services, use the roads, the parks, so the fees are impacts offsetting having more people come into the city and having it grow,” Mayor Ben Aguilar said. “If we don’t have these fees, all of the departments will have more calls, but won’t have the resource funds to handle all that.”
Grass Valley has finalized its method for determining who will get a permit to operate a commercial cannabis enterprise within city limits.
The City Council on Tuesday approved the membership of the committee that will make those decisions. Council member Tom Ivy abstained.
The vote was the latest step on the road to commercial cannabis a path the city started in November. That’s when the council took action to amend the municipal and development codes to allow cannabis businesses to operate.
It also put City Manager Tim Kiser in charge of forming a committee to review and then choose among prospective applicants.
