Staff outlines multi-year SDC increases for parks; residential permit fee to rise over three steps
Summary
Staff circulated System Development Charge tables showing parks SDC for a residential permit at $7,784 today and proposed increases to about $11,000, $15,000 and $19,000 over a three-year phase-in; staff said many peer cities are also phasing up SDCs.
Staff passed out a table of System Development Charges (SDCs) and explained the parks SDC for a residential building permit under the current schedule is $7,784. The Chair explained the city council has approved a plan to increase parks SDCs in three-year increments to roughly $11,000, $15,000 and $19,000, noting that many peer cities are also phasing up fees.
Committee members discussed how SDC credits work when a developer builds park space as part of a development; staff said credits can reduce or eliminate SDC payments when developers provide required parks and infrastructure. The planning staff emphasized the SDC update does not prevent proposals for athletic centers or other facilities in industrial zones; SDC policy and credits are meant to incentivize on-site park construction where appropriate.
Ending: Staff will supply the full SDC tables and additional context; the committee signaled general support for updating SDCs while requesting more comparative data.
