Impact Fees
– On Tuesday, the Tucson Mayor & Council took an important step toward lowering residential impact fees by holding a public hearing on the proposed schedule. In addition to the current proposal to reduce fees, they are also proposing “emergency relief” in light of the coronavirus pandemic which will reduce fees further. SAHBA has been instrumental in working with the Council on this effort.

Tech Committee Meets Virtually
-
SAHBA’s Technical Committee held its first Zoom meeting for nearly 50 participants this week. The policy agenda included updates on Marana Park Requirements, Oro Valley code amendments and various impact fee updates from the region. The highlight was Chairman Thrac Paulette,
Cantera Real Estate
, welcoming Development Service Department representatives from our five local jurisdictions to provide updates on their service operations. Members heard how each jurisdiction remains open for business and how their permitting and review practices have been impacted. This was a great opportunity for members to engage directly with these Department leaders.
