Description/History
In 2022 the City updated the land use and Capital Improvement Plan analysis as required by State statute in order to assess impact fees on new development. State law requires this analysis to be updated every 5 years. Council adopted Ordinance 2280-22 in November of 2022 but directed staff to consider additional or alternate capital improvement projects in the analysis and bring back for further discussion.
In June 2023, staff brought back the updated analysis and fee schedule which were adopted by City Council by Ordinance 23-5409.
In June 2024, Council requested staff revisit just the impact fee portion of this analysis to align the impact fee rate sheet with the City Economic Development policy. Staff has accordingly modified the rate sheet based on Council direction and introduced a multi-year schedule that will be in effect until it is time to do the 5 year analysis again in 2027.
