The Sedona City Council recently held a public hearing on a set of proposed increases in development impact fees.
Sedona’s development fees are based on the square footage of each residential unit, an uncommon approach in Arizona, with the goal of making smaller units more affordable.
The proposed fee increases would be more than double the design costs per unit.
Consultant Ben Griffin of Tischler Bise explained the proposed increases as
- Units smaller than 700SF increased from $3,273 to $7,381 (126%),
- 1.5KSF increasing from $5,832 to $12,018 (106%),
- 2.5KSF increasing from $7,419 to $17,228 (132%).
