Board asks how the commercial infill policy would handle impact fees, eligibility and timelines

During the June 15 meeting, Board members pressed staff for clarity on the policy's financial and timing rules. When asked whether the $100,000 minimum investment included land costs, staff replied, "It's the improvement" — meaning the threshold covers construction or other on-site improvements, not land acquisition. The board then sought detail about which impact fees the policy would mitigate; the presenter listed water, wastewater and roadway impact fees and explained those fees typically apply when new services are established or existing taps are upsized.
