The District has reviewed the building plans for the above referenced project for assessment of impact

outside of ACHD right-of-way. If the scope of work changes to include work within the right-of-way, the
District will need to review and approve those changes.
Requirements Prior to Starting Work
1. Comply with all Standard Requirements of approval.
2. The impact fee must be paid prior to issuance of a building permit.
