SUMMARY
Oakwood Development, Inc. has paid fees to satisfy certain permit fees for its Village 7 Monte
Sereno Phase 3B project. Oakwood Development, Inc. is now requesting a refund of said fees.
ENVIRONMENT AL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 (b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to
CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
In Fiscal Year 2006/2007, Oakwood Development, Inc. paid permit fees on their Village 7
Monte Sereno Phase 3B Project. Permit fees are paid prior to issuance of the final building
permit and prior to the construction ofthe project.
On September 25, 2008 staff received, from Oakwood Development, Inc., a written request

begin until Fall 2009. Until then it has been requested that the City refund the following permit
fees:
. NPDES Fee ($1,120)
. Otay Ranch Res ($182.63)
. Traffic Signal Fee ($1,939)
. Public Facilities DIF ($14,175)
.
Sewer Capacity Fee ($24,346)
Poggi Cyn DIF ($2,800)
.
Oakwood Development, Inc. understands and is aware that they must pay all current applicable
permit fees (including applicable fee increases) at the time the permits are reapplied for its
Village 7 Monte Serano Phase 3B project.
This resolution will amend the proper Fiscal Year 2008/2009 fund budgets and appropriate a
total of $44,380 from the available fund balances to process the refund to Oakwood
Development, Inc. for certain permit fees associated with their Village 7 Monte Sereno Phase 3B
project. The Otay Ranch Res Fee of $182.63 does not require a budget appropriation, as said
funds are within a refundable deposit account. The appropriations that are needed are to the
following fund balances:
Account # Account Description Amount
30120 NPDES Fee $1,120.00
22500 Traffic Signal Fee $1,939.00
41300 Sewer Capacity Fee $24,346.00
57200 DIP Civic Center $4,211.12
57300 DIP Police Facility $2,817.68
57400 DIP Corn Yard $758.31
57500 DIP Librarv $2,421.20
57600 DIP Fire Sunnression $2,128.66
58200 DIP Recreation $1,838.03
43200 DIP POlllli Canyon $2,800.00
Total $44,380.00
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The refund of these permit fees will have no impact to the General Fund as this is a
reimbursement and sufficient monies are available in the associated fund balances with the
exception of those related to the Public Facilities DIF (Account #57200 thru 58200). The
reimbursement will add to the existing deficit within the PFDIF fund. This $14,175 deficit will
be addressed along with the ongoing shortfalls in the PIFDIF accounts through an anticipated
temporary loan/transfer from the TD IF. n
