The committee approved an amendment to the parkland dedication ordinance to add tribal governments to the list of entities exempt from parkland dedication fees when a housing project is financed in whole or in part by a tribe or tribal entity.
Council member Chavez said the change aligns tribal governments with local, state and federal entities that already qualify for the exemption when the housing serves households at or below 60% of area median income. Chavez said he coordinated with Park and Recreation Board commissioners pursuing a similar amendment to park board code.
After opening and closing the public hearing with no speakers, the committee approved the amendment by voice vote.
