FinanceCommittee Minutes.......................................................................................................................................April 17, 2018 <br /> <br />them to a competitive regional level. Pursuant to direction given by the 2017 Finance <br />Committee, input from the business community was collected and factored into the draft <br />legislation and fee proposals. The proposed legislation comprises an ordinance updating fire <br />impact fees, an ordinance updating park impact fees, and ordinance amending the Park, <br />Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan to reflect an additional level of service standard, and a <br />resolution amending the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to update the project pages for the fire <br />and park impact fee eligible projects. Proposed impact fees are as follows: <br /> <br />Fire Impact Fees <br />Residential (per dwelling unit) <br /> Single Family $1,671 <br /> With fire sprinkler system $1,571 <br /> Multi Family $1,925 <br />Commercial/Non-Residential (per 1,000 sf) <br /> Retail $1,872 <br /> Office $ 732 <br /> Industrial/Manufacturing $ 156 <br /> <br />Park Impact Fees <br />Residential (per dwelling unit) <br /> Single Family $2,669 <br /> Multi Family $2,325 <br />Commercial/Non-Residential (per 1,000 sf) <br /> Retail $1,221 <br /> Office $1,101 <br /> K-12 Educational $ 220 <br /> Industrial/Manufacturing $ 610 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Staff proposes a special rate for park impact fees for K-12 education facilities on the basis that <br />students are most likely Tukwila residents and therefore would produce a double counting for park <br />usage. The $220 proposal represents an 80% reduction, and the Committee concurred with this <br />recommendation. Currently, impact fees are not charged for attached accessory dwelling units <br />(ADUs). As detached ADUs are currently being considered by the Council, staff recommends they <br />also be exempt if they are to be allowed in the City. Councilmember Robertson suggested that an <br />amendment for ADUs be considered in the future that factors in the housing affordability calculation <br />elsewhere in the ordinance. <br /> <br />Following discussion, the Committee agreed with the proposed fees, but requested that staff amend <br />the memo to further explain how the 40% reduction was determined. The Committee also requested <br />that language giving the Fire Chief and Parks and Recreation Director discretionary decision-making <br />on exemptions relating to low-income housing be removed as follows: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
