The Annual Infrastructure Construction Cost Inflation Estimate shall be updated no later than November 1 every year, in order to establish a reasonable estimate of construction cost inflation for the next calendar year for a mix of public infrastructure and facilities in San Francisco. The Capital Planning Group may rely on past construction cost inflation data, market trends, and a variety of national, state, and local commercial and institutional construction cost inflation indices in developing its annual estimates for San Francisco. The Planning Department and the Development Fee Collection Unit at DBI shall provide notice of the Controller’s development fee adjustments, including the Annual Infrastructure Construction Cost Inflation Estimate formula used to calculate the adjustment, and MOHCD’s separate adjustment of the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Fee on the Planning Department and DBI websites and to any interested party who has requested such notice at least 30 days prior to the adjustment taking effect each January 1.
