Impact fees are charged by the City to cover the capital costs of services to new development. Impact fees must be updated periodically to reflect the most recent and localized data used as a basis for the fees. Fees were last updated in 2011. The “Development Impact Fee Study” completed by Raftelis recommends increases in some impact fees, and reductions in others, as shown in the attached presentation prepared by Raftelis. Passage of the ordinance will adopt the impact fee study including the fee changes. Recommended adjustments in fees will be effective 90 days following notification requirements of state law.
