Overview
This bill amends existing law to allow local agencies to collect utility service charges related to connections at the time an application is received for residential development projects. It also clarifies that fees for public improvements, such as fire and safety facilities, can be collected earlier than the first certificate of occupancy if the agency determines it’s for water, sewer, or wastewater service. Furthermore, the bill requires fees to be consistent with existing regulations prohibiting excessive water or sewer connection fees and expands the definition of public improvements to include parkland and recreational facilities identified in local safety plans.
