Critical elements of development inpact-free programs

Article Abstract:

Farnum W. Kerr comments on Arthur C. Nelson's article entitled "Impact-Free Policy" published in the Journal of Urban Planning and Development. Kerr generally agrees with Nelson except on the function of impact fees. Kerr assumes that Nelson regarded impact fees as designed merely to increase housing costs for the consumer. The former believed that such fees, in the majority of cases, diminished the price of raw land and thus, affected developers' costs. Nelson, on the other hand, clarified his position by stating that the value diminishing function of impact fees only occurred when the market was competitive.
