DATE 3/14/22 RECORD OF COUNCIL ACTION ATTACHMENTS Informational Memorandum (updated after 3/7 PCD Committee) Draft Resolution (updated after 3/7 PCD Committee) Minutes from the 3/7/22 Planning & Community Development Committee meeting 17 18 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Community Development Committee FROM: Nora Gierloff, DCD Director BY: Max Baker, Development Supervisor CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: March 7, 2022 SUBJECT: Updated DCD Permit Fees ISSUE The City's fee schedule needs to be adjusted to: (1) ensure the City is accurately recovering permit review costs, (2) remove inaccurate permit types, and (3) reflect recent updates to the wireless code. BACKGROUND Ordinance 2660 was adopted on October 4th, 2021 which modified TMC Chapter 18.58, "Wireless Communication Facilities" to establish new permitting and aesthetic requirements for wireless communications facilities in response to the enactment of new regulations by the FCC. As a result of this adoption a number of permit types related to wireless facilities are no longer accurate and are in need of replacement. Additionally, it was found that a number of Decision Typcs relating to tree and landscape permits adopted as part of fee Resolution 2012 needed revising to accurately reflect regulations set forth in the TMC. DISCUSSION To ensure consistency with the updates to TMC Chapter 18.58, Staff proposes that the three current Wireless Communication Facilities permit types (Minor — Type 1, Administrative — Type 2, Major or Height Waiver — Type 3) be replaced with the following permit types: Eligible Facilities Modification, Substantial Change, and New Macro -Facility. These permit types would adopt the existing 2022 fees set forth for wireless communications facilities. Landscape Modification to be consistent with the corresponding TMC provisions. An increase to the Zoning Verification Letter fee for more than two contiguous parcels is also being requested to cover the additional staff time required to complete such requests. FINANCIAL IMPACT The proposal will predominately impact the categorization of permit decision types; fees, other than an increase to the Zoning Verification Letter fee, will not deviate from those currently set forth for 2022 as part of Resolution 2012. 19 2I0 RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the fee resolution and consider this item at the March 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent March 21, 2022 Regular Meeting on the consent agenda.
