body
DEPARTMENT: Conservation and Natural Resources
ORIGINATOR: Carol Ohlfs
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Lacey Harper 9/13/24
PURPOSE: Proposal as recommended by the Snohomish County Planning Commission July 23, 2034 to amend SCC 30.66A - Park Impact Mitigation Fees, to update the fee schedule.
BACKGROUND: Snohomish County Code (SCC) Chapter 30.66A was adopted by Amended Ordinance 04-016 on February 23, 2005, and established Snohomish County's Growth Management Act (GMA) based impact mitigation fee program for park facilities pursuant to RCW 82.02.050. SCC 30.66A includes the recommendation that park impact mitigation fees be reviewed and/or adjusted in conjunction with revisions to the County's comprehensive plan and/or every two years. This 2024 update of park impact mitigation fees supports the intent that the fees reflect current park improvement project costs and anticipated population growth. Consistent with this update, Parks has updated the projection and cost estimates for needed park amenities based upon projected population growth within each Park Service Area in accordance with the adopted level-of-service standards which update is set forth in the 2025-2030 Parks' Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Parks has conducted public outreach in developing the proposed amendments to Chapter 30.66A SCC, which are proposed by this ordinance, including webpage postings and newsletter updates, a SEPA checklist process, and Planning Commission review and approval of the amendments.
