§ 3.48.070. Fee adjustments


Latest version.
  • A developer of any project subject to the fee described in section 3.48.020 may apply to the city council for a reduction or adjustment to that fee, or a waiver of that fee, based upon the absence of any reasonable relationship or nexus between impacts of that developer upon the city street system and either the amount of the fee charged or the type of facilities to be financed. The application shall be made in writing and filing with the city clerk not later than either ten days prior to the public hearing on the application for the development permit or other land use entitlement, or if no development permit or entitlement is required, at time of filing of the request for a building permit. The application shall state in detail the factual basis for the claim of waiver, reduction, or adjustment. The city council shall consider the application at the public hearing on the permit application or at a separate hearing held within 60 days after the filing of the fee adjustment application, whichever is later. The decision of the city council shall be final. If a deduction, adjustment, or waiver is granted, any charge in use within the project shall invalidate the waiver, adjustment or reduction of the fee.
