Development Impact Fee Advisory Committee

The City of Boise Development Impact Fee Advisory Committee met on April 8, 2026, to discuss updates to the city's impact fee plan, which funds capital infrastructure projects related to new growth. Consultant Colin Malini from Tishler & Galina presented an overview of the impact fee update process, including growth projections, capital improvement plans (CIPs), and methodologies for allocating fees across different service areas such as parks, police, and fire. The committee reviewed the current fee structure, discussed potential consolidation of park planning areas, and considered how to address new development types and regional growth impacts. The FY25 impact fee performance report highlighted a strong year with $7.6 million collected, exceeding budget projections, driven by major institutional projects and increased multifamily development. The committee also discussed the timing and execution of projects funded by these fees, noting the importance of balancing growth funding with housing affordability concerns. No formal votes on fee changes were recorded, but the committee set expectations for ongoing analysis and public review leading to updated fee recommendations later in 2026.
