City of Port Orchard
Work Study Session Executive Summary
Issue Title: Impact Fee Ordinance – Traffic Impact Fee Adjustment
Meeting Date: January 19, 2021
Time Required: 20 minutes
Attendees: Nicholas Bond
Issue: Since 2015, when the current traffic impact fee was adopted, the project cost estimates for the
projects in the City’s capital facilities plan have risen significantly. These projects include the Tremont
Street project, which was estimated at $17,500,000 in 2015 and was completed at a cost of
approximately $24,000,000. Additionally, since 2015 the City has completed the Bethel/Sedgwick
Corridor Study and developers have provided more refined cost estimates for these projects. In 2019,
the City hired TSI to prepare an updated traffic impact fee study and fee schedule. This study was
completed in December 2020, and identified a proposed fee of $4,943 per peak pm trip. This is an
increase from the current fee of $2,552 per peak pm trip.
This fee increase will ensure that development pays its share of building out the transportation system
in Port Orchard, and will allow the City to deliver projects more quickly than at the currently adopted
amount. Adoption of this new fee ordinance cannot occur unless the McCormick Woods development
agreement is also approved, since the McCormick Woods development agreement for transportation
allows the City to move to a citywide fee amount, rather than the current system whereby McCormick
Woods impact fees are collected and accounted for separately, for use on a narrower project list.
Background: In 2015, the City adopted an impact fee ordinance and adopted traffic impact fees for the
first time. The impact fee study adopted at that time recommended that the City reevaluate the traffic
impact fee amount every 3-4 years. In late 2019, the City started this process, but the preparation of
the fee study was delayed by the McCormick Communities Development Agreement for Transportation
negotiation which is also a discussion item at the January work study meeting.
Alternatives: If the City Council wishes to adopt a different impact fee amount, it should do so by
amending the project list, which is the basis for the fee calculation in table 1 of the attached impact fee
study. While removing projects will have the effect of lowering the impact fee amount, those projects
would be ineligible for impact fee funding. Alternatively, the Council could choose to revise the
denominator used in the fee calculation, but this would create future funding shortfalls that would need
to be made up elsewhere. Lowering the denominator would increase the per trip fee amount, as could
adding additional projects to the list.
Action Requested at this Meeting: Review the draft impact fee ordinance and traffic impact fee study,
and consider moving this item forward to the January 26, 2021 regular city council meeting. Inform
staff whether an optional public hearing should be held for this ordinance.

Recommendations: City staff recommends that the City Council review and discuss the proposed
impact fee ordinance and traffic impact fee study prior to the item being brought forward for
consideration on February 9, 2021. The Council is also requested to inform staff whether an optional
public hearing should be held for this ordinance.
Attachments: Draft Ordinance including attachments.

City of Port Orchard 2020 Transportation Impact Fee Rate Update
Transportation Solutions, Inc. 1 December 2020
1. Introduction
This document summarizes the development of an updated transportation impact fee rate for the City
of Port Orchard. It describes the existing impact fee rate, the basis for the fee, the rate methodology,
the impact fee project list, and the recommended fee rate.
Definition of Impact Fees
Impact fees are a comprehensive grouping of charges based on new development within a local
municipality. These fees are assessed to pay for capital facility improvement projects necessitated by
new development growth (including but not limited to parks, schools, and streets/roads).
Transportation impact fees are collected to fund improvements that add capacity to the transportation
system, accommodating the travel demand created by new development. The Revised Code of
Washington (RCW) Section 82.02.050 identifies the intent of impact fees as the following:
To ensure that adequate facilities are available to serve new growth and development;
To promote orderly growth and development by establishing standards by which counties, cities,
and towns may require, by ordinance, that new growth and development pay a proportionate
share of the cost of new facilities needed to serve new growth and development; and
To ensure that impact fees are imposed through established procedures and criteria so that
specific developments do not pay arbitrary fees or duplicative fees for the same impact.
Statutory Basis for Impact Fees
Transportation impact fees are a financing mechanism authorized by the Growth Management Act
(GMA) of Washington State (see RCW 36.70A.070 and 82.02.050). State law imposes strict limitations on
impact fees. These limitations are intended to assure property owners that the fees collected are
reasonably related to their actual impacts and will not be used for unrelated purposes.
If impact fees are imposed, the funds collected from developments can be expended only on
transportation system improvements which are: (a) identified in the comprehensive plan as needed for
growth, and (b) reasonably related to the impacts of the new development from which fees are
collected.
Specifically, condition (a) requires that impact fees are not used on improvements needed to remedy
existing deficiencies. Those needs must be entirely funded from public sector resources. Condition (b) is
satisfied if the local government defines a reasonable service area, identifies the public facilities within
the service area that require improvement during the designated planning period, and prepares a fee
schedule taking into account the type and size of the development as well as the type of public facility
being funded.
To achieve the goal of simplicity, impact fee calculations are applied on an average basis for the entire
transportation system, rather than project-by-project. This is a key difference between impact fees and
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) mitigation, whereby pro-rata shares of specific project
improvements are collected.
Pre-calculated impact fees are easier to administer than traditional SEPA development mitigation, at the
point of development review. However, more complex administrative procedures are necessary to track
Page 11 of 110
City of Port Orchard 2020 Transportation Impact Fee Rate Update
Transportation Solutions, Inc. 2 December 2020
the funds collected from each development. This is necessary to assure that the funds are expended
only on eligible transportation system improvements and to assure that impact fee revenues are used
within six years. Fees not expended within six years must be refunded with interest to the current
owner of the property.
The methodology and results described below are consistent with the requirements of the GMA. The
procedures and recommendations described herein can be formally enacted by an impact fee ordinance
incorporating this memo by reference.
2. Impact Fee Analysis
Methodology
The conceptual basis for the transportation impact fee is that growth (i.e. new development) should pay
a proportionate share of the cost to provide future transportation capacity. This proportionate share is
calculated based on the estimated cost of growth-related transportation improvement projects
identified in the Comprehensive Plan and on an estimate of growth’s share of capacity utilization for
each project. The impact fee analysis is limited to projects that provide capacity improvements needed
for growth. Projects related to maintenance, such as pavement overlays and physical obsolescence, as
well as improvements necessary to mitigate existing capacity deficiencies, are not eligible for impact fee
funding. However, agencies have been encouraged by the Department of Commerce to consider
multimodal transportation improvements and, to that end, shoulder widening, sidewalks, bike lanes and
parallel trails are reasonable to include as both motorized and nonmotorized capacity enhancements.
Current Impact Fee Methodology
The Port Orchard transportation impact fee program was developed and adopted in 2015 as ordinance
number 023-15 and later reorganized under ordinance number 019-17. The impact fee methodology is
based on proportionate growth share of impact fee eligible project costs.
As of December 2020, the transportation impact fee rate is $2,552 per new PM peak hour trip. A
separate impact fee rate of $560 per new PM peak hour trip is applied to growth in the McCormick
Woods PUD. This rate represents the difference between the citywide rate and a GEM1 fee rate of
$1,992 per trip which was required per the McCormick Woods Development Agreement adopted in
2005.
Projects Eligible for Impact Fees
Not all planned transportation projects and programs are eligible for impact fees. Planned improvement
project are divided below into the following categories in order to establish a list of qualifying projects
that will form the basis for the Port Orchard impact fee rate:
Project Improvements
Planned Transportation Projects needed within 20 years
Maintenance Projects
Project Improvements
Project improvements are transportation improvements necessary for a specific development that do
not provide significant system benefits. These are typically low-volume local streets that serve driveways
and parking areas. They may provide connections to other developments, but not for the purpose of
Page 12 of 110
City of Port Orchard 2020 Transportation Impact Fee Rate Update
Transportation Solutions, Inc. 3 December 2020
significant system capacity. Other project improvements include safety improvements and new access
connections to existing arterials that serve only one development. Project improvements are typically
required by other development regulations or as SEPA mitigation for specific development impacts not
anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan. Project improvements are not eligible for impact fees. For the
purpose of this rate analysis, roadway extensions that connected existing developments, but were not
significant arterials, were considered project improvements that could be required under other City
codes and regulations but would not be included in the impact fee calculation.
Planned Transportation Projects
The Port Orchard 2021-2040 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) identifies transportation
projects which are needed to serve traffic growth for the next twenty years. Projects with capacity
benefits are eligible for impact fee funding. Capacity-related improvements may include adding turn
lanes, lane widening or separating non-motorized modes, adding signals or roundabouts for intersection
capacity, or other improvements. The methodology for roadway capacity calculation is described in the
Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The proportional share of these projects reasonably
related to growth are eligible for impact fees.
Maintenance Projects
Maintenance programs, general studies, and non-capital activities are generally not eligible for impact
fees. A component of ongoing pavement preservation could be eligible for impact fees if it is
demonstrated that growth increases the magnitude of pavement reconstruction requirements. For
instance, if existing conditions require a two-inch asphalt overlay, but added traffic from growth
requires a three-inch asphalt overlay to achieve the same pavement life, the cost of the additional inch
of asphalt could be attributed to growth. If the overlay or reconstruction provides increased lane width,
intersection improvements, or shoulder widening the cost of the expansion could be considered eligible.
Eligible Project Costs
Impact fee eligible projects and their estimated costs are identified in Table 1. These costs include
various elements which are necessary for the construction of transportation improvements, including
design, permitting, right-of-way, construction, and construction management. Ongoing or future
maintenance is not an eligible impact fee cost. TIP projects which are not capacity-related, or which are
considered maintenance projects/programs are not included in the TIF project list.
Impact Fee Calculation
The impact fee was calculated based on the increase in PM peak hour vehicle trips resulting from
growth, the cost of improvements related to growth, and the City’s transportation financing strategy, as
defined in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. The calculation methodology is described below.
Local Funding Responsibility
Roadway projects are generally eligible for state and federal grant funds. These funds are not
predictable and vary in amount by grantor. Additionally, cost-sharing agreements with Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and Kitsap County are anticipated to reduce some of the City’s
project cost responsibility.
This analysis assumes the City will be responsible for 50 percent of total impact fee-eligible project costs
over the 20-year planning horizon, with the other 50 percent anticipated to be funded by grant and
intergovernmental revenue roadway projects.
Page 13 of 110
City of Port Orchard 2020 Transportation Impact Fee Rate Update
Transportation Solutions, Inc. 4 December 2020
Exceptions were applied to the following projects which are anticipated to be fully funded by the City of
Port Orchard or by local development, with no grants or intergovernmental revenue:
Bethel/Sedgwick Corridor Phase 1 Design (TIP #1.3)
Old Clifton Rd Design – 60% (TIP #1.5A)
Old Clifton Rd & Campus Parkway roundabout (TIP #1.5C)
Old Clifton Rd & McCormick Woods Dr roundabout (TIP #2.08)
Glenwood Connector Roadway (per development agreement)
Feigley Rd improvements (per development agreement)
Proportionate Share of Project Cost
Growth’s proportionate share of each improvement project was calculated as the proportion of added
capacity which will be used by new development trips, per the Port Orchard travel demand model.
The Port Orchard travel demand model was most recently updated and recalibrated in 2019. It
incorporates trip generation data published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip
Generation Manual, 10th Edition and calibrated to fit 2019 weekday PM peak hour traffic counts. The
travel demand model trip distribution and traffic assignment procedures were calibrated based on
regional and national guidance, including the Kitsap County travel demand model and Federal Highway
Administration travel demand model calibration guidance, in addition to local engineering expertise and
traffic counts.
To generate 2040 PM peak hour travel demand forecasts, the calibrated 2019 PM travel demand model
was modified to include housing and employment growth forecasts identified in the Port Orchard
Comprehensive Plan. A total of 7,352 new weekday PM peak hour trips are anticipated citywide
between 2019 and 2040. These new trips were assigned to the transportation network, resulting in
traffic growth forecasts for each intersection and roadway segment on the TIF project list.
The proportionate growth share of TIF project costs was calculated by dividing the 2019-2040 PM peak
hour trip growth by the capacity contribution, in vehicles per hour, of each improvement project:
[Proportionate Share of Project Cost] = ெ ௧ ௪௧
ௗௗௗ ெ ௧௬
The resulting proportionate share for each TIF project is identified in Table 1. Total project costs and
growth share are summarized below:
Total TIF Project Cost $145,863,474
Anticipated Grant & Intergovernmental Revenue $78,597,474
Anticipated City & Developer (Non-Grant) Responsibility $67,266,000
Growth/Development Share of Project Cost $36,343,224

Impact Fee Rate
The citywide transportation impact fee rate was calculated by dividing the sum of the growth share of
TIF project cost by the total citywide PM peak hour trip growth forecast, as shown:
ୈୣ୴ୣ୪୭୮୫ୣ୬୲ ୱ୦ୟ୰ୣ ୭ ୮୰୭୨ୣୡ୲ ୡ୭ୱ୲ୱ

,ଷହଶ ୬ୣ୵ ୲୰୧୮ୱ = $4,943 / PM peak hour trip
Sample Transportation Impact Fees
Table 2 summarizes the fee rates which would be paid by several typical developments If the above
calculated rate were adopted in an impact fee ordinance. A comprehensive transportation impact fee
rate schedule is included in Appendix B.

3. Additional Issues for Consideration
Anticipated Annual Revenues from Impact Fees
The anticipated annual revenue from the proposed transportation impact fee, based on the travel
demand growth forecast of 7,352 new trips by 2040, is shown below:
ଷହ ୲୰୧୮ୱ
୷ୣୟ୰ ∗$ସ,ଽସଷ
୲୰୧୮ = $1,730,050 / year
The transportation impact fee is anticipated to generate an average of $1,730,050 per year. This
represents a 20-year average and may be more or less in any given year.
Anticipated Grant Revenue
Transportation improvement projects are generally eligible for state and federal grant funds. These
funds are not predictable and vary in amount by grantor. The financing plan in the Transportation
Element identifies a 50 percent grant and intergovernmental funding goal for roadway projects. This
assumption is applied in the impact fee rate calculation.
Page 16 of 110
City of Port Orchard 2020 Transportation Impact Fee Rate Update
Transportation Solutions, Inc. 7 December 2020
Anticipated Need for Other Public Funds
The anticipated impact fee revenue does not fully fund the non-grant share of TIF project costs. The
anticipated need for other public funds is summarized below:
Total TIF Project Cost $145,863,474
Anticipated Grant & Intergovernmental Revenue $78,597,474
Growth/Development Share of Project Cost $36,343,224
Remaining Unfunded Commitment (2019-2040) $30,922,776
The City will need to identify other revenue sources to fund the remaining unfunded revenue
commitment of $30,922,776 associated with the TIF projects. This represents an annual funding
commitment of $1,546,139.
4. Transportation Impact Fee Rate Comparison
The City of Bellingham Public Works Department has compiled a list of transportation impact fee rates
for 79 public agencies in western Washington. The full comparison chart is included in Appendix B.
Provided below are current transportation impact fee rates for several agencies which are located near
Port Orchard. The updated impact fee rate of $4,943 per PM trip would be just above the western
Washington average rate, but far from the highest in western Washington.
Western WA Maximum Transportation Impact Fee: $14,064 (City of Sammamish)
City of Poulsbo Transportation Impact Fee: $5,397
City of Gig Harbor Transportation Impact Fee: $5,020
Proposed Port Orchard Transportation Impact Fee: $4,943
Western WA Average Transportation Impact Fee: $4,363
City of Bainbridge Island Transportation Impact Fee: $1,687
Kitsap County Transportation Impact Fee: $700
Western WA Minimum Transportation Impact Fee: $589 (City of Oak Harbor)
5. Credits and Adjustments
Impact Fee Credits
An applicant may request a credit for impact fees in the amount of the total value of system
improvements, including dedications of land, improvements, and/or construction provided by the
applicant. Credits should be considered on a case-by-case basis and shall not exceed the impact fee
payable.
Claims for credit should be made before the payment of the impact fee. Credits for the construction
should be provided only if the land, improvements, and/or the facility constructed are listed as planned
transportation projects in the Rate Analysis and Impact Fee Ordinance. Credits are not generally given
for code-based frontage improvements or right-or-way dedications, or direct access improvements to
and/or within the subject development (project improvements) unless the improvement is part of a
project listed in the Rate Analysis and Impact Fee Ordinance.
Page 17 of 110
City of Port Orchard 2020 Transportation Impact Fee Rate Update
Transportation Solutions, Inc. 8 December 2020
Independent Fee Calculation
An applicant may submit an independent fee calculation for a proposed development activity. The
documentation submitted should be prepared by a traffic engineer licensed in Washington State and
should be limited to adjustments in the trip generation rates used in the fee calculation.
Construction Cost Index Adjustment
Transportation impact fees should be adjusted yearly to account for inflation. Annual adjustments will
be based on the All-Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U) for the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area for the
previous 12-month period from December to December as specified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
United States Department of Labor. The CPI adjustment would take effect on March 1.
6. Conclusions
The recommended transportation impact fee rate is $4,943 per new PM peak hour trip.

Appendix E: Impact Fee Calculations
E.1 Introduction
This study of impact fees for parks and recreational facilities for the City of Port
Orchard presents the methodology, summarizes the data, and explains the calculation of
the fees. The methodology is designed to comply with the requirements of Washington
law. This introduction describes the basis for parks and recreational impact fees,
including:
• Definition and Rationale of Impact Fees
• Statutory Basis For Impact Fees
• Methodology for Calculating Impact Fees
• Need for Additional Parks and Recreational Facilities
• Determining the Benefit of Parks and Recreational Facilities to Development
• Methodology and Relationship to Port Orchard City Parks Plan
• Level of Service and Calculations
E 1.1 Definition and Rationale of Impact Fees
Impact fees are charges paid by new development to reimburse local governments for
the capital cost of public facilities that are needed to serve new development and the
people who occupy the new development. New development is synonymous with
"growth."
Local governments charge impact fees on either of two bases. First, as a matter of policy
and legislative discretion, they may want new development to pay the full cost of its
share of new public facilities because that portion of the facilities would not be needed
except to serve the new development. In this case, the new development is required to
pay for virtually all the cost of its share of new public facilities.
Page 27 of 110
Page E-2 Port Orchard City Parks Plan 2011
On the other hand, local governments may use other sources of revenue to pay for the
new public facilities that are required to serve new development. If, RCW 82.02.050 (2)
prohibits impact fees that charge 100% of the cost, but does not specify how much less
than 100%, leaving that determination to local governments. However, such revenues
are not sufficient to cover the entire costs of new facilities necessitated by new
development; the new development may be required to pay an impact fee in an amount
equal to the difference between the total cost and the other sources of revenue.
There are many kinds of "public facilities" that are needed by new development,
including parks and recreational facilities, fire protection facilities, schools, roads, water
and sewer plants, libraries, and other government facilities. This study covers parks and
recreational facilities for the City of Port Orchard, Washington. Impact fees for parks
and recreational facilities are charged to all residential development within the City of
Port Orchard.
E1.2 Statutory Basis for Impact Fees
RCW 82.02.050 - 82.02.090 authorizes local governments in Washington to charge
impact fees. The impact fees that are described in this study are not mitigation payments
authorized by the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). There are several important
differences between impact fees and SEPA mitigations. Two aspects of impact fees that
are particularly noteworthy are: 1) the ability to charge for the cost of public facilities
that are "system improvements" (i.e., that provide service to the community at large) as
opposed to "project improvements" (which are "on-site" and provide service for a
particular development), and 2) the ability to charge small-scale development their
proportionate share, whereas SEPA exempts small developments. Four types of public
facilities can be the subject of impact fees: 1) public streets and roads; 2) publicly owned
parks, open space and recreational facilities; 3) school facilities; and 4) fire protection
facilities (in jurisdictions that are not part of a fire district). RCW82.02.050 (2) and (4)
and RCW82.02.090 (7)
Impact fees must be limited to system improvements that are reasonably related to, and
which will benefit new development. RCW 82.02.050(3) (a) and (c). Local governments
must establish reasonable service areas (one area, or more than one, as determined to
be reasonable by the local government), and local governments must develop impact fee
rate categories for various land uses. RCW 82.02.060(6) Impact fees cannot exceed the
development's proportionate share of system improvements that are reasonably related
to the new development. The impact fee amount shall be based on a formula (or other
method of calculating the fee) that determines the proportionate share.
RCW82.02.050(3)(b) and RCW82.02.060(1)
Impact fees can be charged for new public facilities (RCW 82.02.060(1)(a)) and for the
unused capacity of existing public facilities (RCW 82.02.060(7)) subject to the
Page 28 of 110
Page E-3 Port Orchard City Parks Plan 2011
proportionate share limitation described above. Additionally, the local government
must separate the impact fees from other monies, expend the money on CFP projects
within 6 years, and prepare annual reports of collections and expenditures.
RCW82.02.070(1)-(3)
E 2 Methodology for Calculating Impact Fees
Prior to calculating impact fee rates, several issues must be addressed in order to
determine the need for, and validity of such fees: responsibility for public facilities, the
need for additional park and recreational facilities, the need for revenue for additional
parks and recreational facilities, and the benefit of new parks and recreational facilities
to new development.
In general, local governments that are authorized to charge impact fees are responsible
for specific public facilities for which they may charge such fees. The City of Port
Orchard is legally and financially responsible for the parks and recreational facilities it
owns and operates within its jurisdiction. In no case may a local government charge
impact fees for private facilities, but it may charge impact fees for some public facilities
that it does not administer if such facilities are "owned or operated by government
entities" (RCW 82.82.090(7).
E 2.1 Need for Additional Park and Recreational Facilities
The need for additional parks and recreational facilities is determined by using standards
for levels of service for park and recreational facilities to calculate the quantity of
facilities that are required. For the purpose of quantifying the need for parks and
recreational facilities, this study uses the City's value of investment in parks and
recreational facilities per capita. As greater growth occurs, more investment is required,
therefore more parks and recreational facilities are needed to maintain standards.
E 2.2 Determining the Benefit to Development
The Washington State law regarding Impact Fees imposes three provisions of the
benefit provided to development by impact fees: 1) proportionate share, 2) reasonably
related to need, and 3) reasonably related to expenditure (RCW 80.20.050(3)). First,
the "proportionate share" requirement means that impact fees can be charged only for
the portion of the cost of public facilities that is "reasonably related" to new
development.
Second, fulfilling the requirement that impact fees be "reasonably related" to the
development's need for public facilities, including personal use and use by others in the
family (direct benefit), use by persons or organizations who provide goods or services
to the fee-paying property (indirect benefit), and geographical proximity (presumed
benefit). Impact fees for park and recreational facilities, however, are only charged to
Page 29 of 110
Page E-4 Port Orchard City Parks Plan 2011
residential development in the City because the majority of benefits are to the
occupants and owners of dwelling units. As a matter of policy, the City of Port Orchard
elects not to charge parks and recreational impact fees to non-residential properties
because there is insufficient data to document the proportionate share of parks
reasonably needed by non-residential development.
Lastly, the requirement that expenditures be "reasonably related" to the development
that paid the impact fee includes that fee revenue must be earmarked for specific uses
related to public facilities ensures that expenditures are on identifiable projects, the
benefit of which can be demonstrated and that impact fee revenue must be expended
within 6 years, thus requiring a timeliness to the benefit to the fee-payer.
E 2.3 Methodology and Relationship to the Port Orchard City Parks Plan
Impact fees for parks and recreational facilities in the City of Port Orchard are based on
the value per capita of the City's existing investment in parks and recreational facilities
for the population of the City. New development will be provided the same investment
per capita, to be funded by a combination of general and capital improvement fund
revenue and impact fees. The amount of the impact fee is determined by charging each
new development for the average number of persons per dwelling unit multiplied times
the amount of the investment per capita that is to be paid by growth.
E3. Level of Service Standard Calculations
The level of service, as defines as the capital investment per person, is calculated by
multiplying the capacity of parks and recreational facilities times the average costs of
those items. Within this calculation, there are two variables that benefit from further
definition explanation: The value of parks and recreational inventory, and the Service
population.
E 3.1 Value of Parks and Recreational Inventory
The value of the existing inventory of parks and recreational facilities is calculated by
determining the value of each park as well as each recreational facility. The sum of all of
the values equal the current value of the City's parks and recreational system
E 3.2 Service Population
The service population is the number of persons served by the inventory of parks and
recreational facilities. Port Orchard's service population consists of the City's current
2011 population of 11,144 as provided by the Washington State of Financial
Management. The forecast population for 2030 of is the projected population
Page 30 of 110
Page E-5 Port Orchard City Parks Plan 2011
estimated for Comprehensive Planning efforts and adopted by all Kitsap County
jurisdictions, through the County Wide Planning Policies. This figure is provided to
estimate future population growth within the existing City boundaries and is utilized in
calculating the annual portion of that growth rate for the Impact Fee calculations.
E 3.3 Calculation of Park and Recreational Capital Investment per Person
The City of Port Orchard's capital value per person is the standard the City uses to
ensure that each resident receives an equitable amount of parks and recreational
facilities. The City provides this value by investment in parks and recreational facilities
that are most appropriate for each site and which respond to changing needs and
priorities as the City grows and the demographics and needs of the population changes.
Attachment E1(at the end of this Appendix) lists the types of land and recreational
facilities that make up the City of Port Orchard's existing park system. Each component
is listed in the first column, along with the capital value of each type of park land or
recreational facility in the final column. The capital value for all City owned parks &
recreational facilities in the inventory comes to a total of $7,228,929. This total value is
divided by the service population of 11,144 for the City determines the current capital
value per person of $649. (Please reference Attachment E2: Figure E1)
E 4 PARKS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITY NEEDS
This section calculates the value of parks and recreational facilities that are needed to
serve growth, reduced by the typical proportion of project values that are grant or
otherwise funded. Impact fees are related to the needs of growth through calculating
the total value of parks and recreational facilities that are needed for growth. The
calculation is accomplished by multiplying the capital investment per person times the
number of new persons that are forecast for the City's growth. (Please reference
Attachment E2: Figure E2)
E 4.1 Calculation of Total Value Needed For Growth
The calculations for the total value of Parks and Recreation Facilities needed to
accommodate the forecasted growth is a tabulation of the level of service standard for
capital investment per person from Figure E1 times the total amount of population
growth forecast for the six year Impact Fee planning period. The resulting calculation
shows the total value of parks and recreational facilities that are needed to serve the
growth that is forecast for Port Orchard (Please reference Attachment E2: Figure E2).
The result of Figure E2 illustrates that Port Orchard needs parks and recreational
facilities valued at $1,928,434 in order to serve the growth of 2,973 additional people
(forecast at an annual growth rate of 495 per year) who are expected to be added to
the City's population during the six year Impact Fee planning period.
Page 31 of 110
Page E-6 Port Orchard City Parks Plan 2011
E 4.2 Total Investment to be Paid by Growth
The investment to be paid by growth is calculated by subtracting the amount of any
revenues the City invests in infrastructure for growth from the total investment in parks
and recreational facilities needed to serve growth. The previous calculation showed the
total amount that is needed to invest in additional parks and recreation facilities in order
to serve future growth. The proportionate share of that investment to be paid by
growth is dependent upon the historic share of improvements provided by the City of
Port Orchard through grants or other revenue streams. The proportionate share for
development to pay for new facilities includes the City of Port Orchard historical use of
local sources, such as real estate excise tax, grant funding, and other revenues to pay for
part of the cost of parks and recreational facility capital costs. Revenues that are used
for repair, maintenance or operating costs are not used to reduce impact fees because
they are not used, earmarked or prorated for the system improvements that are the
basis of the impact fees. The City's investment has averaged 50% of the cost of capital
improvement projects for parks and recreational facilities (Please reference Attachment
E2: Figure E3). The result of Figure E3 illustrates that Port Orchard expects to use
$964,217 in grants and other revenues to serve the total needs of additional parks and
recreational facilities to maintain the City’s standards for future growth, with the
remaining $964,217 to be paid by growth as a proportionate share.
E5 IMPACT FEE PER UNIT OF DEVELOPMENT
In this section the investment in additional parks and recreational facilities to be paid by
growth is used to calculate the park and recreational facilities growth cost per person
which is then used to calculate the impact fee per dwelling unit.
E 5.1 Growth Cost Per Person
The growth cost per person is calculated by dividing the investment in parks and
recreational facilities that is to be paid by growth by the amount of population growth
during the six year Impact Fee planning period (Please reference Attachment E2: Figure
E4). The result of Figure E4 illustrates the calculation of the cost per person of parks
and recreational facilities that needs to be paid by growth is $324 per person. The
amount to be paid by each new dwelling unit depends on the number of persons per
dwelling unit.
E 5.2 Impact Fee per Dwelling Unit
The impact fee per dwelling unit is calculated by multiplying the growth cost per person
by the number of persons per dwelling unit. The number of persons per dwelling unit is
the factor used to convert the growth cost of parks and recreational facilities per
Page 32 of 110
Page E-7 Port Orchard City Parks Plan 2011
person into impact fees per dwelling unit. The number of persons per dwelling unit data
is based on the adopted 2008 Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 3. Housing;
which sets an population household size of 2.5 persons per single family unit and a
calculation of1.8 persons per Multi-family housing unit within the City of Port Orchard
(Please reference Attachment E2: Figure E5 and E6 respectively).
The resulting calculations of Figure E5 shows the calculation of the parks and
recreational facilities impact fee of $811 per single family dwelling unit. The resulting
calculations of Figure E6 show the calculation of the parks and recreational facilities
impact fee of $584 per multi-family dwelling unit. Impact Fee amounts, upon adoption
by City Council, are to be implemented and collected subject to the provisions of Port
Orchard Municipal Code Section 16.70.
E6. Summary
This study of impact fees for parks and recreational facilities for the City of Port
Orchard summarizes the methodology, presents the data, and explains the calculation of
the fees that result in the recommended amounts. Similar sized Cities within Kitsap
County have chosen to utilize much higher impact fee amounts, for example the City of
Poulsbo recently raised their Park Impact Fee from $500 to $1,195 per unit. The
proposed Park Impact Fees for the City of Port Orchard of $811 per single family
dwelling unit and $584 per multi-family dwelling unit, although consistent with the City
of Port Orchard level of service, still are well below the Washington State average of
$ 2,849 per single family dwelling unit and $2,147 per multi-family dwelling unit
respectively. (Sourced from the National Impact Fee Survey 2009, prepared by Clancy
Mullen, Duncan Associates, Austin, TX on December 20, 2009) The methodology
utilized for arriving at the City of Port Orchard impact fee amounts has been a
statewide standard incorporated for numerous Washington State cities and is designed
to comply with the requirements of Washington law.

Work Study Session Executive Summary
Issue Title: McCormick Communities Development Agreement for Transportation
Meeting Date: January 19, 2021
Time Required: 30 minutes
Attendees: Nicholas Bond (DCD Director), Jennifer Robertson (Special Counsel to the City), Mark Dorsey
(PW Director), Noah Crocker (Finance Director)
Issue: The City has been negotiating a new development agreement for transportation with McCormick
Communities for the past year. This new agreement, if approved, would repeal and replace the old 2005
Transportation Agreement that was made between the prior property owner and the County. An
updated agreement is desired because the 2005 Transportation Agreement predates annexation, is
cumbersome, makes the administration of the City’s impact fee program unnecessarily complicated,
restricts the City’s spending of impact fees collected in the McCormick Development Area, and does not
reflect the desired outcomes in the City’s comprehensive plan. Some elements of the 2005
Transportation Agreement are proposed to be carried forward, including concurrency approvals, a
reimbursement to the McCormick Land Company related to the Glenwood Connector Road and Feigley
Road improvement projects, and agreement that right of way needed from the developer in the future
will be provided as needed. The major changes concern the term of the agreement which was unclear
in the 2005 Transportation Agreement. Under the proposed Development Agreement, the term is more
certain would be 20 years going forward with possible extensions. The new Development Agreement
also will eliminate the impact fee specific to McCormick Communities in favor of one citywide impact fee
which makes administrative more uniform. Another significant change is that the new Development
Agreement provides that the developer will build two transportation projects (Campus Parkway
Roundabout (Project ID #1.5C) and McCormick Woods Drive/Old Clifton Road Roundabout (Project ID
#2.08)) and will receive impact fee credits, vs. the reimbursement model from the previous agreement.
The benefit of a citywide impact fee would be that fees collected in McCormick Woods would help pay
for a greater share of improvements outside of McCormick Woods, such as the Bethel Avenue project.
Finally, the proposed Development Agreement gives the City greater latitude in spending the impact
fees that were collected under the 2005 Transportation Agreement which currently amounts to
$772,097.79 (as of November 30, 2020).
POMC 20.26 (Development Agreements) outlines the process for development agreement approval.
Developers seeking a development agreement, must submit an application. In this case, the application
for the development agreement was filed on December 7, 2020, and per the applicant’s request, was
consolidated for review under POMC 20.22.020 (2) with permits PW20-031 and -032. These permits, a
LDAP and SDP for the Campus Parkway Roundabout, were approved in a decision issued December 24,
Action Requested at this Meeting: Review proposed development agreement, prior to proposed
consideration on January 26, 2021.
Page 41 of 110
Executive Summary 2
Page 2 of 2
2020. The proposed development agreement is related to these permits because a traffic impact fee
credit is proposed for the construction of this roundabout by the developer. The Development
Agreement is proposed for a February 9, 2021 public hearing, followed by consideration of an ordinance
that would authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement. If the ordinance is approved, the City
Council would be able to move forward with the adoption of an updated traffic impact fee at that same
meeting.
Background: In 2005, prior to annexation, Kitsap County entered into a development agreement with
GEM1, LLC concerning transportation improvements in the vicinity of McCormick Woods. This
agreement provided for an impact fee amount specific to the McCormick Woods area for projects in the
McCormick Woods area, concurrency approval for all phases of the McCormick developments,
reimbursement for projects constructed by the developer, provisions for the dedication of right of way,
and a provision for the transfer of funds from Kitsap County to an annexing city should annexation
occur.
On May 27, 2009, Port Orchard annexed the property and therefore stepped into the shoes of the
County as party to the 2005 Transportation Agreement. In 2015, GEM1 sold its entitlements and
assigned all development agreements to McCormick Communities. GEM1 retained its rights to be
reimbursed under this 2005 Transportation Agreement, and later transferred these rights to the
McCormick Land Company, which continues to be reimbursed annually by the City per the 2005
Transportation Agreement.
In 2015, the City adopted a traffic impact fee program. This program was unnecessarily complicated due
to the existence of the 2005 Transportation Agreement. The City has been working to update its
adopted impact fees, but this effort has been held up waiting for a new transportation development
agreement with McCormick Communities.
Alternatives: There are various alternatives that could be considered, but all would require agreement
with McCormick Communities and McCormick Land Company. Other issues related to water and
entitlement timelines will be negotiated and brought forward separately at a future date.
Recommendations: City staff recommends that the City Council review and discuss the proposed
Transportation Development Agreement, conduct a public hearing on the proposed agreement on
February 9, 2021, and after hearing from the public, consider approval of the proposed development
agreement.

(RCW 36.70B.170(1)); and
WHEREAS, Port Orchard adopted Chapter 20.26 of the Port Orchard Municipal Code
(“POMC”) which establishes the standards and procedures for Development Agreements in Port
Orchard; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 20.26 POMC is consistent with State law; and
WHEREAS, the Developer has applied for a Development Agreement under Chapter
20.26 POMC and such Agreement has been processed consistently with the POMC and State
law; and
WHEREAS, this Development Agreement by and between the City of Port Orchard and

Page 47 of 110
Development Agreement for Funding Transportation Improvements
Page 2 of 19
FG:54082696.4
B-1, and B-2 (hereinafter the “McCormick Property”); and
WHEREAS, in 2005 the City’s predecessor in interest entered into a Development
Agreement with Developer’s predecessor in interest for the development of certain transportation
improvements; and
WHEREAS, since that time, the City annexed the property and in accordance with RCW
36.70B.190 assumed jurisdiction and agreed to be bound by the 2005 Transportation
Development Agreement; and
WHEREAS, as part of that 2005 Agreement, the predecessor to the Developer (GEM 1,
LLC) constructed some projects and payments for those projects are still on-going and will
continue until GEM 1, LLC’s successor is fully reimbursed; and
WHEREAS, since annexing this property, the City’s transportation plans have been
updated; and
WHEREAS, the City is in the process of adopting updated transportation impact fees;
and
WHEREAS, during this process, an in-depth look at the projects needed to meet the
projected development by Developer and others in the City was performed; and
WHEREAS, the updated transportation impact fees are based, in part, on the 2005
Development Agreement with the Developer’s predecessor as well as on the updated project list;
and
WHEREAS, the Developer did not acquire from GEM 1, LLC (“GEM 1”), and GEM 1
still retains, the right to reimbursement that accrued under the 2005 Transportation Agreement
when GEM 1 constructed the Glenwood Connector Roadway and minor improvements to
Feigley Road, the only projects identified in that 2005 agreement that have been constructed; and
WHEREAS, the City has been paying such reimbursement to GEM 1 and its successor
since 2008, and nothing in this Agreement changes or is intended to change the City’s obligation
to continue paying such reimbursement to GEM 1; and
WHEREAS, GEM 1 assigned its right to reimbursement to the McCormick Land
Company in 2016, after which time, the City paid reimbursement to the McCormick Land
Company (“MLC”); and
WHEREAS, MLC continues to own property in Port Orchard; and
WHEREAS, MLC has signed this Agreement to confirm that this Agreement will fully
replace and supersede the 2005 Transportation Development Agreement (“2005 Transportation

Page 3 of 19
FG:54082696.4
WHEREAS, the Developer now seeks to update the 2005 Transportation DA in
conjunction with obtaining a permit to build the Campus Parkway Roundabout; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this Agreement is to carry forward and better define the
concurrency evaluation that was part of the 2005 Transportation DA, to carry forward the impact
fee reimbursement for MLC, and to establish an impact fee credit system for Developer to
recover its costs of building the McCormick Projects described below; and
WHEREAS, apart from concurrency and impact fee credits/reimbursement, this
Agreement does not address development standards, vesting, or any other regulation that impacts
how the McCormick Property will be developed; and
WHEREAS, the Parties agree that the 2005 Transportation DA, as set forth in the traffic
study attached to that 2005 Transportation DA, anticipated the generation of 4,935 PM peak hour
trips. Based on the development activity since 2005, some of these “trips” have been absorbed.
The parties believe it is advantageous to set forth the remaining capacity that may be utilized in
future development phases and have confirmed the concurrency numbers as of the date of this
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the benefits conferred by this new Development
Agreement, which reflect the current plans of both the City and the Developer and include
confirmation of concurrency, a new project list, and a set impact fee credit calculation, the
parties deem it in their best interests and the best interests of the community to repeal and replace
the 2005 Transportation DA with this updated agreement; and
WHEREAS, there are two projects identified on both Exhibit A to the 2005
Transportation DA and also on the City’s new TIP. As described in the new TIP, these projects
are ID #1.5C, “Old Clifton Rd – Campus Pkwy Intersection and ID #2.08 Old Clifton Rd &
McCormick Woods Dr. Intersection Impr”. These two projects are collectively referred to herein
as “the McCormick Projects”; and
WHEREAS, the McCormick Projects are eligible for credits under RCW 82.02.060(4);
and
WHEREAS, the following events have occurred in the processing of the Developer’s
application:

the McCormick Property have the capacity to serve the McCormick Property in compliance with
the City’s concurrency requirements so long as such development does not result in the
generation of more than 3,806 PM peak hour trips, which is the number of remaining trips

Trips will be calculated per unit and commercial PM Peak trips will be calculated by use type
and square footage.
The defined areas for the assigned concurrency numbers above are listed by parcel number on
Exhibit B-1 and shown (except for the eight legacy lots, which are vacant lots in prior
subdivisions) on Exhibit B-2, which Exhibits are attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference as if set forth in full. Residential development shall be limited by either the PM peak
hour trips or the number of units, whichever is more restrictive. Commercial development shall
be limited only by the PM peak hour trips. To the extent that McCormick in the future proposes
residential or commercial development within the McCormick Property that will generate more
than the number of PM peak hour trips shown in the above table, the City will make a new
concurrency determination regarding the capacity of its street system at that time.
Section 10. Project Schedule. The Developer will commence construction of the two
McCormick Projects on the following schedule
a) Work on the roundabout at the intersection of Old Clifton Road and Campus Parkway
(Project ID #1.5C on the City’s TIP) (Permits #PW20-031 and PW20-032) shall
commence no later than June 30, 2021, and Developer will complete construction in a
timely and workmanlike manner. Such work shall be completed no later than September
30, 2022.
b) Developer will submit a complete set of plans for a roundabout at the intersection of Old
Clifton Road and McCormick Woods Drive (Project ID #2.08) no later than June 1, 2023
Page 53 of 110
Development Agreement for Funding Transportation Improvements
Page 8 of 19
FG:54082696.4
and will commence construction of said roundabout no later than June 1, 2024, provided
that the City has before then acquired the additional land, not owned by Developer, that is
needed for this roundabout; and Developer will complete construction in a timely and
workmanlike manner. Such work shall be completed no later than September 30, 2025 so
long as the City has acquired the land necessary for the roundabout before June 1, 2024.
If the City has not acquired the land necessary for the roundabout before June 1, 2024,
but does so more than 24 months before expiration of this Agreement, Developer shall
construct the roundabout with 24 months of such acquisition.
Section 11. Project standards. Developer will finance, design, and construct these
McCormick Projects to comply with City standards, including obtaining all necessary permits.
The City will approve the plans before construction begins; and the City will accept
responsibility for the operation of the Projects once construction is completed and a two-year
warranty and maintenance bond is in place. A Project will be deemed completed when all of the
following occurs: 1. The City deems it substantially complete; 2. All punch list items are
finished; 3. The City releases the performance bond; 4. The Developer has put a 2-year warranty
and maintenance bond in place; 5. The Developer has completed all property dedications; and 6.
The Developer has provided the City with a Bill of Sale for the improvements containing the
certified construction costs (stamped by licensed engineer) to the City for determination of the
maximum credits available under this Agreement. The City will confirm completeness of the
Project by issuing a Final Notice of Completeness to the Developer.
Section 12. Project costs. The maximum amount of the credit (or reimbursement) for
project costs performed under this Agreement shall be limited to no greater than the engineer’s
estimate contained in the City’s transportation impact fee calculation, plus an annual inflator per
the CPI-U, or, the actual costs incurred by the Developer, whichever is less. The credits provided
under Section 14 below are limited to this maximum credit/reimbursement amount and once the
project cost maximum(s) have been achieved through credits or direct reimbursement to
Developer, the credits will no longer be available and full impact fees will be due for further
development.
Section 13. Applicable Impact Fees. The repeal and replacement of the 2005
Transportation DA results in all property owners both within and without the McCormick
Property being subject to the City’s established city-wide impact fees as these now exist or may
be modified in the future by the City Council. This Agreement further confirms that impact fees,
permit fees, capital facilities charges, and other similar fees which are adopted by the City as of
the Effective Date of this Agreement may be increased by the City from time to time, and made
applicable to permits and approvals for the McCormick Property, as long as such fees and
charges apply to similar applications and projects elsewhere in the City. All impact fees shall be
paid as set forth in the approved permit or approval, or as addressed in chapter 20.182 of the Port
Orchard Municipal Code, except as modified by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement
restricts or prohibits the City from raising its fees, including transportation impact fees, and the
Developer agrees to pay the impact fees at the rates that are in effect at the time when payment is
due minus any credits applicable according to this Agreement.
Section 14. Impact Fee Credits. The City hereby grants the Developer a credit against
transportation impact fees for its costs to finance, design, and construct the McCormick Projects.
Page 54 of 110
Development Agreement for Funding Transportation Improvements
Page 9 of 19
FG:54082696.4
The credit is available to parcels located in the areas identified and shown on Exhibits A-1 and
A-2. The credits will be calculated and applied as follows:
a) Each parcel or lot that is developed within the McCormick Property credit area
(Exhibits A-1 and A-2) will pay the City’s adopted impact fees until Developer
provides documentation to the City that Developer has expended a minimum of
$50,000 towards the design or construction of one of the McCormick Projects. At
the time of this Agreement, the parties believe that Developer has already met this
threshold, therefore, once Developer provides the documentation, the City will
begin applying the credit described in this Agreement.
b) Once McCormick provides documentation to the City of such $50,000
expenditure, the City will grant a credit in the amount of $1,000 per new home (or
per peak pm trip for commercial/multifamily development) against its standard
transportation impact fee for each application to develop a lot or parcel within the
McCormick Property credit area (Exhibits A-1 and A-2) until such time as the
credits granted by the City equal the amount of credit due to Developer under
Section 12 above. This credit amount shall be adjusted as follows:
i. The $1,000 credit shall be adjusted annually per the CPI-U, such
adjustment to occur on March 1st of each year;
ii. If the amount outstanding for reimbursement of project costs is less than
the credit, then the lesser amount shall be provided as a credit;
iii. If the City reimburses the Developer directly with SEPA mitigation funds
received from another developer, then that amount shall be deducted
dollar for dollar from the amount of project costs outstanding and the
credits available will be reduced accordingly.
c) Upon completion of each Project, Developer shall submit certified project costs to
the City for review and acceptance by the City Engineer. Once these costs and
executed Bill of Sale are reviewed and accepted by the City Engineer, the
maximum credit due to Developer will be established and will equal the amount
of the project costs as so certified in accordance with this subsection and Section
12. The City will grant the credits described in Subsection b) above against the
transportation impacts fees that would otherwise be due for development of lots
and parcels within the McCormick Property credit area as identified and shown on
Exhibits A-1 and A-2. Such credits shall be provided until such time as the
Developer receives full credit and/or reimbursement for its project costs or this
Agreement terminates, whichever occurs first.
The City agrees that these credits are consistent with RCW 82.02.060(4); that they are
appropriate in light of the unusual circumstances described in the Recitals above; that they are
consistent with the intent of POMC 20.182.080; and that the City Council has legislatively
approved this Agreement and exempted these credits for development of the McCormick
Projects from the specific provisions of POMC 20.182.080.

Section 15. McCormick Land Company Reimbursement. This Agreement reaffirms the
City’s obligation to reimburse MLC for construction of the Glenwood Connector Roadway and
minor improvements to Feigley Road. The maximum reimbursement amounts outstanding for
these projects as of August 1, 2020 is $1,542,239.64. Regardless of any fee credits provided for
in this Agreement, the City’s reimbursement for such project shall continue at the rate of $720.80
for each unit of housing constructed or for each PM Peak trip, or fraction thereof, for which an
impact fee is assessed in the MLC reimbursement area as depicted on Exhibit C until such time
as MLC is fully reimbursed or this Agreement expires, whichever occurs first. This
reimbursement amount shall be increased annually by CPI-U (Seattle/Tacoma/Bellevue) for the
most recent twelve-month period (January 1st to December 31st) prior to the date of the
adjustment. Such adjustment shall take effect on March 1st of each year, commencing on March
1, 2021. Disbursements shall be made annually in January of each year based on the collections
from January 1st to December 31st in the prior year, however in 2021, such payment shall only be
from collections from August 1 to December 31, 2020 as payment from collections through July
31, 2020 has already occurred. MLC agrees to the repeal of the 2005 Transportation DA and
accepts the continued reimbursement under this new Agreement and agrees to be bound by this
new Agreement as shown by its signature to this Agreement. This Section 15 shall survive
expiration of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until such time as MLC has been fully
reimbursed under the terms of this Agreement for construction of the Glenwood Connector
Roadway and minor improvements to Feigley Road.
Section 16. Dedication of Public Lands. The Developer shall dedicate the land that it owns
that is needed to construct the McCormick Projects prior to final completion of each Project.
Neither Project shall be deemed completed until such dedications have occurred. In addition,
consistent with Section 9 of the 2005 Transportation DA, to the extent that projects on the City’s
TIP including Old Clifton Widening and the Feigley Road Roundabout require additional
dedications of right-of-way from within the McCormick Property, McCormick will dedicate that
portion of the additional right-of-way. Such dedications shall occur within a mutually agreeable
timeframe prior to the bid solicitation for the project requiring additional right-of-way.
Section 17. Default.
a) Subject to extensions of time by mutual consent in writing, failure or delay by either
Party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event
of alleged default or breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Party alleging such
default or breach shall give the other Party not less than thirty (30) days’ notice in writing,
specifying the nature of the alleged default and the manner in which said default may be cured.
During this thirty (30) day period, the Party charged shall not be considered in default for
purposes of termination or institution of legal proceedings.
b) After notice and expiration of the thirty (30) day period, if such default has not been
cured or is not being diligently cured in the manner set forth in the notice, the other Party to this
Agreement may, at its option, institute legal proceedings pursuant to this Agreement. In addition,
the City may decide to file an action to enforce the City’s Codes, and to obtain penalties and
costs as provided in the Port Orchard Municipal Code for violations of this Development
Page 56 of 110
Development Agreement for Funding Transportation Improvements
Page 11 of 19
FG:54082696.4
Agreement and the Code.
Section 18. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the term
identified in Section 7, which expiration date is [INSERT DATE]. Upon termination of this
Agreement, the City shall record a notice of such termination in a form satisfactory to the City
Attorney that the Agreement has been terminated. In addition, this Agreement shall
automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect as to any single-family residence,
any other residential dwelling unit or any non- residential building and the lot or parcel upon
which such residence or building is located, when it has been approved by the City for
occupancy and impact fees have been paid.
Section 19. Extension and Modification. Any request for extension or modification, if
allowed under the City’s code, shall be subject to the provisions contained in Chapter 20.26
POMC.
Section 20. Effect upon Termination on Developer and MLC. Termination of this
Agreement as to the Developer or as to MLC shall not affect any of the Developer’s or MLC’s
respective obligations to comply with the City Comprehensive Plan and the terms and conditions
or any applicable zoning code(s) or subdivision map or other land use entitlements approved
with respect to the McCormick Property or the MLC property, or any other conditions specified
in the Agreement to continue after the termination of this Agreement or obligations to pay
assessments, liens, fees or taxes. Furthermore, if the Agreement expires without the project costs
being fully recovered by impact fee credit or mitigation funds, the Developer will no longer be
eligible to receive such credits. Provided, however, that Section 15 of this Agreement will
survive termination if MLC has not yet been fully reimbursed and this Agreement will only
expire as to MLC after both termination and full reimbursement have occurred.
Section 21. Effects upon Termination on City. Upon any termination of this Agreement as
to the McCormick Property, or any portion thereof, or as to MLC property, the entitlements,
conditions of development, limitations on fees and all other terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall no longer be vested hereby with respect to the property affected by such
termination (provided that vesting of such entitlements, conditions or fees may then be
established for such property pursuant to the then existing planning and zoning laws). The City
will be under no obligation to provide any additional credits or reimbursement to Developer even
if the project costs have not been fully recovered at the time of expiration or termination.
Section 22. Assignment and Assumption. The Developer shall have the right to sell,
assign or transfer this Agreement with all rights, title and interests therein to any person, firm or
corporation at any time during the term of this Agreement with a sale of the underlying property.
Developer shall provide the City with written notice of any intent to sell, assign, or transfer all or
a portion of the McCormick Property, at least 30 days in advance of such action. A transfer by
Developer will not impact the rights of MLC under this Agreement. This requirement for notice,
however, does not apply to the sale by Developer of individual residential lots approved by the
City for development of houses.

the land and the benefits and burdens shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties. The
Developer and every purchaser, assignee or transferee of an interest in the McCormick Property,

Agreement, and shall be the beneficiary thereof and a Party thereto, but only with respect to the
McCormick Property, or such portion thereof, sold, assigned or transferred to it. Any such
purchaser, assignee or transferee shall observe and fully perform all of the duties and obligations

the same procedures set forth in Chapter 20.26 POMC. However, nothing in this Agreement

City from any and all claims it may have with regards to the amount or usage of any

provision of this Agreement is rendered invalid or unenforceable according to the terms of any
statute of the State of Washington which became effective after the effective date of the
ordinance adopting this Development Agreement, and either Party in good faith determines that
such provision or provisions are material to its entering into this Agreement, that Party may elect

breach of this Agreement shall be sent to the parties at the addresses listed below, unless notified

City of Port Orchard
Work Study Session Executive Summary
Issue Title: Water & Sewer Credit Discussion
Meeting Date: January 19, 2021
Time Required: 30 minutes
Attendees: N/A
Action Requested at This Meeting: Provide any questions and comments on the proposed
policy language and concept for changing the Water & Sewer Credit POMC Language.
Summary: The City Council have been discussing the current Port Orchard Municipal Code
regarding water and sewer credit for Capital facility charges since November 2017. Most
recently, the City Council reviewed the current POMC on water & sewer credit for capital
facility charges on 12.08.2020. The council discussed and agreed the current code language
does not provide a meaningful incentive for developers to build infrastructure. Council
requested the City staff evaluate credit options to provide an incentive without jeopardizing
the City’s enterprise capital projects.
Staff has discussed a credit for the additional capacity provided to the City from the
completion of an infrastructure project beyond the need of the development. This will be
referred to as the General Facility Charge Credit for excess capacity.
General Facility Charge Credit Proposal: The credit will be the calculated value of the
proportionate certified project cost for the excess capacity of the facility. The credit shall
not exceed the value of the excess capacity created. The credit shall not exceed the amount
of the total general facility charge due and payable to the utility that applies to the property
or development requiring service because of the improvements
Alternatives: N/A
Recommendation: N/A
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: N/A
