DATE ATTACHMENTS 8/12/24 Informational Memo Draft Resolution amending Land Use Fee Schedule 9/16/24 Resolution 493 494 _City of Tukwila Thomas Mcleod, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Community Development Committee FROM: Nora Gierloff, DCD Director BY: Max Baker, Development Supervisor CC: Mayor Mcleod DATE: August 12, 2024 SUBJECT: Updated DCD Permit Fees ISSUE The City's fee schedule needs to be adjusted to reflect proposed changes to the Tukwila Municipal Code to ensure compliance with State Bill (SB) 5290. BACKGROUND Ordinance 2058 was adopted in 2022, establishing the City's current consolidated permit fee schedule. Proposed changes to the Tukwila Municipal Code to comply with SB 5290 will require simultaneous updates to the fee schedule to reflect these changes. DISCUSSION In addition to meeting the mandates of SB 5290 staff is undertaking a broader effort to streamline processes and enhance transparency in local governance. Key updates include: 1. Removal of Certain Permit Types: o Example: The permit category "Design Review - Public Hearing' has been removed from the fee schedule. This decision aligns with changes in the municipal code aimed at simplifying the approval process for certain projects, thereby reducing administrative burden and expediting project timelines. 2. Rewording and Renaming of Permit Types: o Example:The term "Environmentally Sensitive Areas Deviation" has been reworded to "Critical Areas Deviation." This change reflects updated terminology in the municipal code, consistent with state -level environmental regulations and best practices. The new terminology clarifies the scope and intent of the permit, ensuring consistency with regulatory language and public understanding. 3. Recategorization of Permit Types: o Example: Critical Area and Shoreline Tree Permits are standalone permit types but were previously categorized within "Tree Permit for single family residential properties" and "Tree Permit and Landscape Modification Permit and Exceptions for non -single family residential properties." The proposed fee resolution breaks these permits out into their own unique application types. 495 These amendments are intended to reflect the latest legislative requirements and align the City's processes with state mandates. By implementing these changes, Tukwila aims to improve clarity and efficiency in its permitting processes, ultimately benefiting residents and developers alike. FINANCIAL IMPACT The proposal will predominately impact the categorization of permit decision types. Some new fees are established for permits that have previously existed in the Tukwila Municipal Code but were not captured in the existing fee schedule. The proposed fees will work to effectively cover the City's costs to provide these necessary services. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to forward this item to the 9/16/24 Regular Meeting along with the proposed Permitting Process Improvement ordinances for a decision.
