WESTLAKE VILLAGE
CITYWIDE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 FEE REVIEW
BACKGROUND
Citywide development impact fees (DIFs) were established in June of 2023. In
accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act, this fee review provides a status report of the
program and a summary of activity for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
FEE DESCRIPTION
The City Council has five types of DIFs. The categories are generally described as
follows:
•
•
•
•
•

Parks and Recreation Capital Facilities and Equipment - park capital assets and
park land acquisition.
General Government Capital Facilities - government buildings.
Sidewalk and Pedestrian Safety Facilities - sidewalk construction, pedestrian path
lighting, and pedestrian hybrid beacons.
Intelligent Transportation System Masterplan - traffic signal controllers, Advanced
Traffic Management System, CCTV cameras, video management systems, video
detection, and communication infrastructure.
Police Protection Vehicles and Equipment - police vehicle, mobile data computer
equipment, and automated license plate recognition equipment.

In order to calculate the total DIF for a particular project, each fee category is calculated
by multiplying the fees listed below by the square footage of a new residential or
commercial development project. The total DIFs owed for a particular project would be
the sum of the calculation of all fee categories.
The following is a list of all development that is exempted from the application of DIFs –
1. Any replacement or reconstruction of a dwelling or non-residential structure
damaged or destroyed by fire or natural causes;
2. Rehabilitation or remodeling of an existing residential or non-residential use;
3. Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing single-family dwelling with
another single-family dwelling, including replacement structures or reconstructed
structures that exceed the documented total square footage of the original singlefamily dwelling;
4. Additions to an existing single-family structure;
5. The location or installation of a mobile home, without a permanent foundation, on
any site; and
6. The construction or addition of an accessory dwelling unit.
