body
Statement of Issue:
Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act, (California Government Code Sections 66001 through 66009), the City Council established certain Development Impact Fees (DIFs) that must be paid by developers of
property to help offset some (or all) the cost of public facilities related to the development project. In
addition to many other department’s fund reports, there are three (3) Public Works facilities improvement fees: Drainage Facilities Fund, Sewer Facilities Fund, and Traffic Impact Fees Program, that require City Council approval on an annual reporting in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act.

Analysis:
The FY 2024-25 Development Impact Fee Annual Report, which included the Drainage Facilities Fund, Sewer Facilities Fund, and Traffic Impact Fees Program, was presented for City Council review and approval on December 16, 2025 and Resolution 2025-75 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach to Accept and Approve the Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year
Ending June 30, 2025, and to make the findings as required by Government Code Sections 66006(b)
and 66001(d)” was adopted with a 6-0-1 vote.
A summary of the Public Works Development Impact Fees collected and expenditures incurred in FY
2024-25 is included in the resolution attachment (pages 35-40). As these funds are collected and their corresponding fund balance grows, use of the funds for the Traffic Impact, Sanitary Sewer, and
Planned Local Drainage fees is restricted to making system improvements as outlined in the
respective master plans for each fund. Information contained in the reports conforms to the
requirements of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code regarding revenues and expenditures in each
fund.
Environmental Status:
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections
15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change
in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the
CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for
resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
