DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Eileen Canola
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Kent Patton 9/1/26
PURPOSE: To review and adopt ten school district capital facilities plans and amendments to Chapter 30.66C SCC to reflect updated school impact fees that implement the requirements of RCW 82.02.060 to produce a proportionately lower impact fee for smaller residential units.
BACKGROUND: Based on the County’s school impact fee program in Chapter 30.66C SCC, school districts planning to collect school impact fees must submit their capital facilities plans (CFPs) to the County for review by a Technical Review Committee (TRC) and consideration by the Planning Commission, and County Council. The TRC has completed its review of ten school district CFP drafts, for which it found all ten CFPs met the requirements of the state law, SCC, and the County’s comprehensive plan. Once adopted by the County Council, the ten school districts’ CFPs will be incorporated by reference into the Capital Facilities and Utilities Element of the comprehensive plan. The code amendments will update the school impact fee schedule in Chapter 30.66C SCC. Once adopted by the County Council, the school impact fees would be effective on January 1, 2027. The County Planning Commission was briefed on this proposal on August 11, 2026, with a hearing scheduled for August 25.
