Rio Rancho weighs impact fee updates amid lawsuits and study calls
Dawnn Robinson led a committee examining impact fees charged to developers to fund infrastructure. The group urged a consultant study to update 1994 data, budgeting 25,000 to 30,000 for a two to three month analysis while officials warn against changing fees without a proper study. The city faces a Curb North Inc. lawsuit over a 2012 moratorium that cut residential and commercial fees, with damages yet to be set.
