body

DEPARTMENT:  Planning and Development Services

 

ORIGINATOR:  Eileen Canola

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Ken Klein 2/27/25

 

PURPOSE: To adopt amendments to Chapter 30.66C SCC for consistency with recent changes to RCW 82.02.060 that require that smaller residential units be incorporated into school impact fee calculations to produce proportionately lower school impact fees for smaller units.

 

BACKGROUND: During its 2023 session, the Washington State Legislature adopted Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5258, which amended RCW 82.02.060 to require proportionally lower impact fees for smaller housing units and requires jurisdictions to adopt and make effective implementing regulations six months after the next required comprehensive plan update required by the GMA.
