PLAN ACCEPTANCE
The District has reviewed the building plans for the above referenced project for assessment of impact
fees. The District has no comment on the site improvements because all proposed improvements are
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.
When Ready to Request ACHD Occupancy Sign-Off
1. Call 387-6380 and provide all information as shown in the header of this letter, i.e. the file
number, site address, and the name of the project. Please include your name and return phone
number.
Total Impact Fee due: $28,023.07
ACHD inspection is not required.
