Development Fund Fees (MF #97-46- CA) Mr David McDonald, City Planner, addressed Council and noted for the record that notice of the public hearing was published as required by law Mr McDonald explained that in November of 1996 Council adopted Ordinance Number 3184 that increased fees associated with land use applications The only land use fee that was not adjusted was the Park Fund fee Staff needed to do some additional research on park fees to assist Council in making a decision on this issue Park impact fees vary widely from city to city throughout the State The attached fee comparative illustrates the wide variance in park fees assessed by cities in the State The fee in Pasco is currently $200 00 per lot or dwelling unit and was established in 1980 based upon the cost of land and park construction at the time Because the cost of land and construction has increased over the years the existing park fee is no longer representative of the cost to the City To more accurately reflect today's costs staff estimates the fee should be $450 00 per lot or dwelling unit MAYOR KILBURY DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FUND FEES
