Regarding the Calculation of Impact Fees. Draft language removes the requirement for a location's
impact fees to be recalculated after a 12 -month period of vacancy in the building/location. With the
status of the current economy, the 12 -month threshold is too restrictive. Staff will continue to work
towards formulation of requirements that are more appropriate.
Derek Speck expressed support of this change from an economic development standpoint.
Appeals. Draft language requires appeals be submitted to City Clerk, with all issues in question
identified, and then to Hearing Examiner when applicable. Current language sends the appeal
directly to the Hearing Examiner.
Exemptions and Vesting. This section was originally included due to the active negotiations of
certain development agreements at the time of the ordinance formulation. The vesting section will
be removed as it is no longer applicable. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
AUGUST 23 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
