Culver City required Robert Ehrlich, a developer, to pay $280,000 in land-use change impact fees and $33,220 in lieu of meeting the art requirement of all new developments in exchange for approval of Ehrlich's proposed 30-unit town-home development. Ehrlich says the fees do not advance a legitimate public purpose. Can Culver City extract the fees?
?Courts generally do not intervene in fees unless there is coercion, as here, or the fees are a guise for exclusion. The court found the fees were a penalty and not used for public purposes. Ehrlich v. City of Culver City, 19 Cal. Rptr. 2d 468 (1993).
