The Committee approved the staff recommendation with an amendment that either no fees be assessed for Accessory\nDwelling Units (ADU) (because the fees imposed would be de minimis) or that staff\nprovide an alternative recommendation to City Council for ADU fees. Staff revised the recommendations accordingly, to exempt ADUs to 900 square\nfeet or less, and to waive the Traffic Reduction and Transportation Improvement\nFee (TR/TIF) for ADUs governed by a Housing Agreement.

The\nTAC approved the following motion: Support the fees as recommended, and urge council to consider if the reallocation of the fee categories may\nprovide better outcomes on future development.
