•:;> What is an Impact Fee?
0
Is a payment of money imposed upon
development as a condition of development
approval
Pays for public facilities needed to serve new
growth and development, and that are
reasonably related to the new development
that creates additional demand and need for
public facilities
Is a proportionate share of the cost of the
public facilities, and that is used for facilities
that reasonably benefit the new development
• Does not include a reasonable permit or
application fee
FCS GROUP Slide 14
•:;> Statutory Basis
• RCW 36-70A.070 and RCW 82.02
• "The financing for system improvements to serve
new development must provide for a balance
between impact fees and other sources of public
funds and cannot rely solely on impact fees"
FCS GROUP Slide 15
•:;> Statutory Basis
• Credit for the value of system improvements that developers are
required to make
• "Earmarked ... and retained in special interest -bearing accounts"
• "Expended only in conformance with the capital facilities plan
element of the comprehensive plan"
• Ten-year limit on spending (unless there's an extraordinary or
compelling reason... identified in written findings by the governing
body)
