Developer fee hearing

EARLENE WARD

Public hearings will be held in December to consider raising developer fees paid to local school districts for residential and commercial construction.

The proposal is to raise fees up to $2.29 per square foot for residential construction and up to 38-cents per square foot for commercial construction, but not to exceed the amount approved by the State Allocation Board.

The increase cannot go into effect until the SAB approves the increases. Also, the increases cannot go into effect until 60 days after the last public hearing. The last public hearing will be December 10.

Everyone is welcome to attend any of the public hearings that will be held as follows:

December 4, 6:15 p.m., Yosemite Joint Union High School District board room, 50200 Road 427, Oakhurst.
