Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act, the City of Emeryville has adopted three development impact fees: Transportation Facility Impact Fee Park and Recreation Facility Impact Fee Affordable Housing Impact Fee Find the current amount of the  Development Impact Fees . Nexus Studies For each impact fee, the Mitigation Fee Act requires that the City prepare a “nexus study”, which establishes the existence of a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the impacts of the types of development described in the study for which the impact fee is charged, and that there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development for which the fee is charged. The City of Emeryville has prepared four nexus studies related to its three impact fees (two were prepared for the Affordable Housing Impact Fee, one for residential development and one for non-residential development): Transportation Facility Impact Fee Study (PDF, 4MB) Park and Recreation Facility Impact Fee Study (PDF, 349KB) Affordable Housing Residential Impact Fee (PDF, 2MB) Affordable Housing Non-Residential Impact Fee (PDF, 3MB) Ordinances and Resolutions Two ordinances were passed on July 15, 2014 establishing the development impact fees. Ordinance No. 14-008 added Article 19 of Chapter 5 of Title 9 to the Emeryville Municipal Code, entitled “Development Impact Fees”, establishing the authority for the City to impose fees on development projects related to public facilities, including transportation facilities and parks and recreation facilities. Ordinance No. 14-009 amended Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Title 9 of the Emeryville Municipal Code, “Affordable Housing Program” establishing the authority for the City to impose fees on new rental residential projects and new nonresidential projects to mitigate the projects’ impacts on the need for affordable housing in the city. Further background information can be found in the staff report for the two ordinances (PDF, 2MB) . Ordinance No. 14-008, Development Impact Fees (PDF, 9MB) Ordinance No. 14-009, Affordable Housing Program (PDF, 9MB) Three related resolutions were also passed on July 15, 2014, one for each development impact fee, which approved and adopted the related nexus study and established the amount of each fee and the projects for which the fee was to be used. They also stipulated that, for each year in which the fees are not otherwise adjusted, the fee amounts shall be adjusted once as of July 1st based on the percentage increase in the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index for San Francisco, California. Further background information can be found in the staff report for the three resolutions (PDF, 1MB) . Resolution No. 14-105 Transportation Facility Impact Fees (PDF, 6MB) Resolution No. 14-104 Park and Recreation Facility Impact Fees (PDF, 2MB) Resolution No. 14-103 Affordable Housing Impact Fees (PDF, 2MB) Annual Fee Updates As authorized by the resolutions establishing the development impact fees, the City Council has updated the impact fees each year. In addition, on October 20, 2015, the City Council increased the Affordable Housing Impact Fee to $28,000 per unit, effective December 19, 2015.

Little Free Libraries are small outdoor book boxes where anyone can take a book or leave a book . They create opportunities for neighbors to connect, support literacy, and make reading accessible to everyone. On March 3, 2026, City Council approved a Little Free Library Program to install libraries in the public right of way. Find out how you can get involved below. What are Little Free Libraries? Little Free Libraries are free book exchanges popularized by the nonprofit organization Little Free Library. They typically take the form of a small wooden box of books mounted on a post in front of a home or business where passersby can easily access the books. How It Works If you plan to install a Little Free Library in the public right-of-way (such as along a sidewalk), you will need to submit a program application to the Public Works Department before installing it. The program is designed to be simple: No application fee Short application process Sponsors maintain their own library Encourages neighborhood book sharing Libraries installed on private property do not need approval but are encouraged to follow the program guidelines. Apply for the Program Review the guidelines and submit an application before installation. Program Application Program Guidelines (PDF, 168KB) FAQs What is the Public Right of Way? In general, the Public Right of Way refers to an area where streets and sidewalks are located and are controlled by a public entity (i.e. City of Emeryville).

Yes, if it will be located in the public right-of-way (for example, in the sidewalk area). Submit an application to the Public Works Department before installing the library. Libraries located entirely on private property do not require approval.   Is there an application fee? No, there are no fees for submitting an application of installing a Little Free Library.   Who takes care of the library? Each library has a sponsor—the person or organization who installs it.
