In the review of development proposals the city shall require an engineering analysis of water, sewers, and city street systems and a 25-year storm event drainage analysis of areas impacted by development.

(Ord. No. 98-02, § 1, 5-20-1998)

The city shall require on-site improvement according to city standards as necessary to appropriately service the development and such improvement shall be accomplished concurrently with the development.

(Ord. No. 98-02, § 2, 5-20-1998)

The city shall define its levels of service as the total amount of a type of public facility in appropriate units divided by the population of the city.

(Ord. No. 98-02, § 3, 5-20-1998)

Proposals that would decrease the levels of services below the acceptable levels of services shall be denied by the city as required by RCW 36.70A.020(12).

(Ord. No. 98-02, § 5, 5-20-1998)

Development applicants are encouraged to participate in mitigation measures that will achieve and maintain the city's standard for levels of services as noted within capital facility plans and schedules adopted by the city council.

(Ord. No. 98-02, § 6, 5-20-1998)

In development review the city council may require as a condition of development the use of impact fees for one or more of the following facilities as authorized by WAC 365.195.850 including streets, parks, open space, and school impacts. The impact fee shall be identified during proposal review and assessed at the time of application for a building permit. Service areas are assumed to be the north and south sides of the city. Development impact fees may only provide up to 50 percent of actual cost according to adopted schedules. The subdivision ordinance shall require the appropriate findings and the fee shall be based upon the following formula:

Impact fee per unit equals 50 percent of the identified service area cost for city streets, parks, open space, and school facilities per year divided by the total number of house units in the city, multiplied by the 40-year life cycle expectancy (LCE), minus the current year's annual school tax rate per average house value times 40 (LCE) and minus any developer prepayments and credits for future payments, divided by the number of units in the development.

(Ord. No. 98-02, § 7, 5-20-1998)

Impact fees are authorized in WAC 365.195.850 for system improvements included in the capital facility plan and designed to provide services to service areas within the community at large. If an impact fee is assigned by the city council to a development it shall be accompanied by the following three findings to be included in the minutes of the city council as part of the motion for preliminary plat approval:

(1)

The impact fee shall only be imposed for system improvements that are reasonably related to the new development;

(2)

The impact fee shall not exceed a proportionate share of the costs of system improvements that are reasonably related to the new development; and

(3)

The impact fee shall be used for system improvements that will reasonably benefit the new development.

(Ord. No. 98-02, § 8, 5-20-1998)

The city council shall review the levels of service and impact fee standards annually as a part of its evaluation of the city comprehensive plan and more often only for an emergency.

(Ord. No. 98-02, § 9, 5-20-1998)
