Fire Protection Impact Fee Urgency Ordinance

The Town of Corte Madera is implementing a Fire Protection Impact Fee Urgency Ordinance to address what has been identified as a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare. This legislative action involves the adoption of a Development Impact Report to serve as the official Nexus Study for the fire protection impact fees. The ordinance is being fast-tracked through an urgency process to ensure immediate implementation, which is deemed necessary to mitigate existing risks within the jurisdiction. The project is managed by the Town of Corte Madera in Marin County, California, with Amy Lyle, the Director of Community Development, serving as the primary point of contact. A Notice of Exemption has been filed under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3), asserting that the adoption of this ordinance will not result in new development or significant environmental impacts. The scope of this action covers the entire jurisdiction of Corte Madera and focuses on establishing the regulatory and financial framework required to support essential fire protection services.
