A. The director shall annually review the city’s parks, open space and recreation plan, the six-year parks improvement plan, the six-year road plan and the projects listed in Appendices A and B and shall:

1. Identify each project in the comprehensive plan that is growth-related and the proportion of each such project that is growth-related;

2. Forecast the total money available from taxes and other public sources for park and transportation improvements for the next six years;

3. Update the population, building activity and demand and supply data for park and transportation facilities and the impact fee schedule for the next six-year period;

4. Calculate the amount of impact fees already paid;

5. Identify those comprehensive plan projects that have been or are being built but whose performance capacity has not been fully utilized;

B. The director shall use this information to prepare an annual draft amendment to the fee schedule in Appendices A and C, which shall comprise:

1. The projects in the comprehensive plan that are growth-related and that should be funded with forecast public moneys and the impact fees already paid; and

2. The projects already built or funded pursuant to this chapter whose performance capacity has not been fully utilized.

C. The council, at the same time that it adopts the annual budget and appropriates funds for capital improvement projects, shall, by separate ordinance, establish the annual project list by adopting, with or without modification, the director’s draft amendment.

D. Once a project is placed on Appendix A, or if the city amends its level of park service in Appendix C, a fee shall be imposed on every development until the project is removed from the list by one of the following means:

1. The council by ordinance removes the project from Appendix A and/or C, in which case the fees already collected will be refunded if necessary to ensure that impact fees remain reasonably related to the park and transportation impacts of development that have paid an impact fee; provided, that a refund shall not be necessary if the council transfers the fees to the budget of another project that the council determines will mitigate essentially the same park and transportation impacts; or

2. The capacity created by the project has been fully utilized, in which case the director shall remove the project from the project list.

E. The school district shall annually review and update its capital facilities portion of the city’s comprehensive plan and submit such updated plan to the city by July 1st of each year. The school district’s updated capital facilities plan shall identify projects that are growth-related, include the amount of school impact fees paid, and may include a proposed school impact fee schedule adjustment. (Ord. 1309 § 4, 2015; Ord. 963 § 9, 2004; Ord. 828 § 13, 1999).
