Return to Chapter 20.915 IMPACT FEES

Section 20.915.010 Purpose.

Reasons for impact fees.  It is the purpose of this Chapter to ensure that adequate facilities are available to serve new growth and development, and to promote orderly growth and development by requiring that new development pay a proportionate share of the cost of new facilities needed to serve growth.  In addition, it is also the purpose of this Chapter to ensure that impact fees are imposed through established procedures and criteria so that specific developments do not pay arbitrary fees or duplicate fees for the same impact.
