Council waives $163,463.50 in permit fees for 96‑unit affordable project at former junkyard site
Summary
Council approved a request to waive $163,463.50 in building permit fees for a 96‑unit affordable housing development at the former Scott Brown junkyard site, with staff describing limits on cost pass‑through to residents and a council recusal noted during discussion.
The council approved a waiver of building permit fees totaling $163,463.50 for the Reserve at Franklin, a proposed 96‑unit affordable housing development on a former junkyard site. Community Development Director Steve Bellamy described the project and explained how permit costs are treated in the financials for affordable housing developments.
Bellamy told council the development will be limited in how much of the waived fees can be passed on to residents because the project is required to remain affordable and the permit fees are assessed by building rather than by unit. The motion carried after roll call; one councilmember recused on legal advice due to a potential conflict of interest.
