210 rooms x 25% x $34, = approximately $1,794, Suggested Edit to Modification 5 1. Construct In Lieu Fee as a rolling fee based on identified ratio: $34, per residential unit instead of flat flee Rationale: City must comply with AB1600 for impact fee Supports fee collection and nexus justification Consistent with ratio-based fee Commission certified in 2010
