#5 Tucson Impact Fees Process Inching Forward 
SAHBA has been actively engaged in the City of Tucson’s impact fee update process. Throughout the stakeholder process, the industry has provided feedback to ensure any final fees meet statutory compliance while balancing funding for necessary public infrastructure with the need to promote affordable housing. 

Mayor & Council took the first step in the adoption process last week by hearing public comment on the draft Land Use Assumptions (LUA) and Infrastructure Improvement Plan (IIP). SAHBA supported the draft LUA and IIP for residential development and moving the process forward, however, Council decided another study session was necessary to answer any remaining concerns. Barring a change in direction, the Council will consider final adoption of the LUA and IIP on March 17 th . Once adopted, the process can move forward with the adoption of the final fee schedule 60 days later. 

You can find the draft study, including proposed fees, here.
