How AI is used

From the approval and the fee schedule the lawyer supplies, record each fee, whether the papers call it a processing fee or an impact fee, the amount, and the purpose stated for it. Do not treat one fee as barring the other. Do not calculate a new amount.

What the lawyer must review

The lawyer tests each fee under its own rule. The department page says a housing development is typically subject to both permit processing fees and impact fees or exactions imposed to defray public costs of the project. California Government Code section 66001, which was opened, is the impact-fee rule: purpose, use, the relationship of the use to the type of development, the relationship of the need for the facility to the type of development, and the relationship of the amount to the cost attributable to the development. The department page states that Government Code section 66020 requires planning and permit processing fees not to exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service or impact, unless the voters approve, and requires a statement of the amounts and purposes of all fees when the fee is imposed or the project is approved. Section 66020 itself was not opened, so that sentence is the department account and not the code text. The page does not say that imposing one fee prohibits the other.
