Revised impact fees to be considered Oct. 16 by Queen Creek council
A public hearing held Sept. 4 on proposed changes to the Town of Queen Creek’s impact fees has been continued to Oct. 16 because of a miscalculation on three of the amounts.
Residential and non-residential impact fees are one-time fees assessed to new development to pay for the new growth’s proportionate share of necessary infrastructure. The town assesses eight impact and capacity fees — transportation, parks and recreation, library, town facilities, wastewater, water, public safety, and fire — according to queencreek.org.
“It’s a regrettable situation. Town staff found the error. It was an error that was done by the consultant spreadsheet — it was their spreadsheet that they were hired to maintain and the town staff found that as part of the review of the final report and in preparation of adopting of the fees,” Finance Director Scott McCarty said to the Town Council.
