Date Application Received: NA <br />Date Application Considered as Complete: NA <br />60-Day Review Period Expires: NA <br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> Date: April 23, 2015 <br /> Item No: 5 <br />Department Approval: Administrator Approval: Agenda Section: <br />Name: Mike Gaffron Planning <br />Title: Senior Planner <br /> <br />Item Description: Storm Water & Drainage Trunk Fee Review - Draft Ordinance for <br />Discussion <br /> <br />List of Exhibits <br /> A - Draft Ordinance <br /> B - Discussion of Suggested 5-acre & 2-acre Fee Revisions and Reapportionment Option <br /> C - Council Draft Minutes 4/13/15 <br /> D - Memo and Exhibits dated 4/9/15 <br /> E - 4/13/15 Handouts: Fee Per Lot and Conservation Credit Examples <br /> <br />The attached draft ordinance for potential revisions to the Storm Water and Drainage Trunk Fee <br />(SW&DT Fee) structure is presented for discussion. <br />The ordinance as drafted is based on the assumption that Council accepts the original basis and <br />methodology for the SW&DT Fee in 2002 that established a dollar amount per acre and <br />equivalency factors for the various zoning district densities (See Exhibit B of 4/9 memo and <br />existing code sections 14-282 and 14-283 for details on this). <br />Under this assumption, reapportionment of the fee structure for better perceived equity between <br />large and small lots based on average assigned hardcover amounts by zoning district (per Exhibit <br />E, Options 1 or 2, of 4/9 memo) is not proposed. Staff will review this reapportionment concept <br />further with Council if desired. <br />The proposed changes as they appear in the attached draft ordinance would do the following: <br />1. Incorporates a definition of New Development into Section 14-284, and revises the <br />definition of redevelopment in Section 14-285. <br />2. In Section 14-284, incorporates provisions for how various types of subdivision <br />configurations will be charged the SW&DT Fee. <br />3. Adds Section 14-288 regarding provisions for crediting past payments. <br />4. Revises the reduction provisions appearing below the Land Use Equivalency Factor table <br />in Section 14-283(c) to accomplish the following: <br />a. For the 5-acre zone, reduces the maximum fee-calculable acreage per new lot from <br />7.0 acres to 5.0 acres, and establishes that the fee is charged just to acreage in Lots, <br />City Council Meeting April 27, 2015 Page 71 of 257
