III. BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2002/262 as part of the July 9,2002 approval
of the Camino Tassajara Combined General Plan Amendment. The resolution included
conditions of approval that required the establishment of a Livable Communities Trust Fund.The
fee would apply to all units constructed within the Camino Tassajara Combined General Plan
area, except for the units identified in the Camino Tassajara Affordable Housing Program. The
$8,000 per unit fee was agreed to by the County, Shapell Industries, Braddock and Logan Group
II, L.P. and Ponderosa Homes. The purpose of the fee is to help with the implementation of the
Smart Growth Action Plan, which contains provisions designed to improve the livability of
communities throughout Contra Costa County.A condition of approval (attached)was included,
as part of the approval for the Alamo Creek and Intervening Properties development projects,
that required payment of the$8,000 fee prior to the issuance of each residential building permit.
An independent and accessible interest bearing trust account needs to be established in order
maintain the Livable Communities funds.
