§ 3.48.020. Establishment of fees

A.

A street maintenance fee is hereby established for all development occurring within the urbanized area of the city, as shown in the transportation development fee study dated October 1989. The city council shall, by resolution, set forth the amount of the fee, the area within which it is imposed, the type of public improvements to be financed and the reasonable relationship between the fee and the types of development.

B.

It is recognized, that at the present time, it is not possible to accurately determine the impact upon the street system which development outside the urbanized areas of the city will have and, as a result, the amount of fees or other improvements which will be required to mitigate such impacts cannot be determined. Each new development which occurs outside the urbanized areas of the city shall be required to finance a study to be conducted by the city, which study will identify the traffic impact caused by such development and the amount of fees or other forms of mitigation which such development should bear in order to mitigate such impact. Such study shall be completed 60 days prior to the date that the development application is deemed complete. Upon completion of such study, the city council shall, by resolution, fix and determine the fee and/or other form of mitigation which will be imposed upon such development, designated the area within which it will be imposed, estimated cost of the street system improvements to be financed and the relationship between such improvements and the development.
