21.08.030 Street Impact Fees A. Findings and authority
a. A technical or mathematical error;
b. The applicant provided alternative data that was rejected by the City; or c. Unwarranted delay in review of the application that allowed capacity to be given to another applicant. 2. Appeal of denial of a certificate of concurrency shall be to the hearing examiner in accordance with procedures in Chapter 21.09 SDC.
The council hereby finds and determines that new growth and development, including but not limited to new residential, commercial, retail, and office development in the City, will create additional demand and need for public facilities in the City, and the council finds that new growth and development should pay a proportionate share of the cost of system improvements reasonably related to and that will reasonably benefit the new growth and development. The City has conducted extensive studies documenting the procedures for measuring the impact of new development on public facilities, has prepared the street impact fee analysis, and hereby incorporates this study into this Title by reference. Therefore, pursuant to RCW 82.02.050 through 82.02.090, the council adopts this chapter to assess impact fees for streets (“impact fee”). The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the purposes of the council in establishing the impact fee program.
B. Assessment of impact fees
1. The City shall collect impact fees, based on the rates in SDC 21.08.030K., from any applicant seeking development approval from the City for any development within the City, where such development requires the issuance of a building permit. This shall include, but is not limited to, the development of residential, commercial, retail, and office uses, and includes the expansion of existing uses that creates a demand for additional public facilities, as well as a change in existing use that creates a demand for additional public facilities.
