La Paloma Housing Development Fee Deferral
Summary
Pacific West Development asked the city to wait to collect about $6.6 million in fees on 236 homes until each home is finished, instead of upfront at permit. The city still gets the money — the builder just gets breathing room on cash flow to actually start building. Homes projected to start in the mid-$400,000s over five to seven years.

Impact analysis
About $6.59 million in fees collected later rather than upfront; city still recoups full amounts as homes sell.
Future Brawley homeowners getting new housing options, and the developer whose project can now start.
The city carries the timing risk if the project stalls before fees are collected.
