San Gorgonio Memorial
Hospital (SGMH) Board of Directors
wishes to congratulate the San Gor-
gonio Memorial Healthcare District
Board on passing the long-overdue
development impact fee assessment.
With the assistance of David
Taussig & Associates, Inc., and Tom
Breitkreuz, the Healthcare District
Board prepared a Nexus study, which
indicated a need to assess development
impact fees for our district. These fees
will be collected by the Healthcare
District in cooperation with the cities
of Banning, Beaumont, Cabazon,
Calimesa and Cherry Valley, and will
help provide funding for a patient care
building.
Development impact fees will be
assessed when developers build new
single- and multifamily homes in
the district, as well as nonresidential
facilities. As the San Gorgonio area
grows, new residents of these commu-
nities will use the SGMH facilities, as
will the employees of the new busi-
nesses that complement the growth.
The development impact fees will help
mitigate the impact of the increased
population.
There are currently 84,400 residents
who are served by SGMH and 18,700
employees who work within the dis-
trict and are likely to use SGMH health
care facilities. The Nexus study indi-
cates that the population is estimated
to increase by 97,700 residents and
29,100 new employees. The impact
fees are necessary to provide adequate
health care facilities to meet this pro-
jected level of growth.
Collection of these fees, which will
be deposited in an interest-bearing ac-
count, will begin on Sept. 7, 2015.
By collecting these fees, the Health-
care District is ensuring future devel-
opments contribute their share of the
expansion of the hospital that they will
utilize. The SGMH Board of Direc-
tors thanks the Healthcare District for
identifying a way to help the Hospital
continue to provide safe, high-quality,
personalized health care services to
everyone.
