“WHEREAS, as part of a 2025 update to the City's ordinance implementing its Development Impact Fee program, a provision relating to an exemption from new impact fees for changes in nonresidential use of a building constructed prior to June 20, 1960 was inadvertently removed, and the City desires to replace this language in the current Chapter 11.01”

“Section 11.01.190 Credit for Previously Paid Fees — This section governs the process by which development project applicants may apply to the City's Community Development Director for certain types of development impact fee credits. The proposed revision is to re-incorporate language that was inadvertently removed as part of the City's most recent update to this section in 2025, relating to limitation of additional impact fees for changes in use affecting pre-1960 buildings within the City.”

“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the updated residential fees will fully take effect on July 1, 2023; until that time, residential builders will have the option of paying the updated fees or the existing fees”
