IDI Services Group submitted written comments in opposition of the
proposal .
Councilmember Turner moved and Councilmember Saxton seconded to
close the public hearing, which motion carried, all members voted aye.
Councilmember Buhler asked about the notification process . LuAnn
Clark, Director of Housing and Neighborhood Development, said the
City' s only requirement was to publish a notice in the newspaper. She
said in addition to the newspaper advertisement, notices were mailed to
as many developers and private land owners as her staff could identify
through lists obtained from the City' s Building and Planning
departments . Councilmember Buhler asked how many notices were mailed.
Ms . Clark said approximately 450 . Councilmember Buhler said apparently
some people were missed even though the City made an effort to go
beyond the legal notification requirement.
Councilmember Christensen moved and Councilmember Turner seconded
to adopt Ordinance 3 of 2006, amending the City' s impact fees and
further moved to adopt Resolution 2 of 2006, adopting a fiscally
constrained 10-year Capital Facilities Plan.
Councilmember Christensen said it was difficult for the City to
allow expansion in some green space areas because new capital needs
were competing against aging infrastructure capital needs . He said in
order for some areas to develop, additional sources of funding were
needed. He said he was initially concerned about how the increase
would impact land owners and developers but realized impact fees had
not increased since approximately 1999 . He said consultants compared
Salt Lake to neighboring cities and found the proposed fee structure
was in line with many of those cities . He said development might not
occur as quickly as it could but felt in the long-term the City still
had viable areas and amenities to offer those wanting to conduct
business with the City.
Councilmember Buhler said he was not a proponent of impact fees
and had voted against them in the past. He said he would support this
proposal because the Council, Administration and consultants had worked
hard to scale back the City' s 10-year capital improvement plan so it
was more realistic. He said all the projects on the list might not be
fulfilled but the list was closer to what realistically could be
funded. He said in the past impact fees were assessed based on a long
wish list which he felt was unfair.
Councilmember Buhler called for the question, which motion
carried, all members voted aye.
