Housing element traffic impact fee

Humboldt Builders Exchange director opposed the traffic fee direction, saying fees make housing projects infeasible and hit middle-class housing hardest.

Libertarian Party chair argued new development shouldn't pay for decades of government infrastructure failures, and urged a structured fee schedule before any approval.

Humboldt Community Services District board vice president said HCSD was never notified or consulted, noted ratepayers funded 64% of the interceptor (over $17 million), and asked for a seat at the table and a proportional share of fees.
