RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA,
ADOPTING THE 2025 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE.
WHEREAS, Section 66000, et seq. of the Government Code, enacted by the State of
California in 1987, allows cities to charge Development Impact Fees to offset the costs associated
with providing new infrastructure and facilities demanded as a result of development, subject to
assessment, spending, and disclosure requirements per Assembly Bill 1600 ("AB 1600"); and
WHEREAS, it was determined that adjustments in Development Impact Fees may be
necessary to close the gap between current fees and actual facility development and construction
costs because the City of National City's ("City") Development Impact Fee Schedule had not been
updated since 2005; and
WHEREAS, on January 29, 2024, the City entered into an agreement with David Taussig
and Associates ("DTA") to conduct a comprehensive AB 1600 DIF Nexus Study for the purpose
of establishing updated Development Impact Fees and to recommend the appropriate fee
justification methodology and fee levels to support specific types of City -selected capital facilities
needed to serve new growth and determine whether there are additional Development Impact
Fees that may be implemented; and
WHEREAS, the completed Development Impact Fee Study is presented in Exhibit B to
the Agenda Report and provides the necessary analysis and justification to support the proposed
new City of National City 2025 Development Impact Fee Schedule as shown in Exhibit C; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the new Development Impact Fee Schedule be
adopted and be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure cost recovery is maintained in future
years based on the California Construction Cost Index; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing to consider adjustments to City user fees was held at a
publicly noticed regularly scheduled City Council meeting on January 20, 2026, wherein the City
Council considered oral and written presentations of City staff, and members of the public; and
WHEREAS, after said public hearing, approved changes to City fees will become effective
after at least ninety (90) days; therefore, if adopted on January 20, 2026, the 2025 Development
Impact Fee Schedule will become effective no sooner than April 20, 2026.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY,
CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the City Council hereby adopts the 2025 Development Impact Fee
Schedule, superseding all fees previously established for said activities. The 2025 Development
Impact Fee Schedule is attached to the Agenda Report as Exhibit C.
Section 2: That the City Council hereby authorizes City staff to annually review at the

in future years based on the California Construction Cost Index or other relevant data that may
be available and make recommendations for changes to the Development Impact Fees to the City
Council.
Section 3: That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this
Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.
