B. Park Impact Fee Rate Structure and Amendments to POMC 20.182 Impact Fees
Community Development Director Bond explained in 2023, legislation passed two bills
dealing with impact fees. One bill, SB 5258, set out that by June 30, 2025, requires that
impact fees reflect the proportionate impact of new housing units based on square footage,
number of bedrooms, or trips generated. Transportation impact fees are the only type of
impact fees that generates trips, so for parks, it would be square footage and number of
bedrooms.
The second bill [SB 1337] incentivizes the creation of accessory dwelling units [ADU]. We are
working through the land use aspects through a separate ordinance. One of the provisions of
this bill states the city or the county cannot assess impact fees on the construction of an ADU
if it is greater than 50% of the impact fee that would be imposed on the principal unit.
The proposal addresses both the rate structures as well as creating a safety valve to make
sure we don't overcharge relative to what the law allows on accessory dwelling units.
Additionally, he provided a presentation 'Park Impact Fee Rate Structure' which included the
Park Impact Fee Rate Schedule -March 1, 2025, Option 1: Per Square Footage Rate, Option 1:
Per Square Footage Rate Alternatives, Option 1 Per Square Footage Rate Examples, Option 1:
Per Square Footage Rate Alternative 2 Recommended, Option 2: Per Bedroom Rate, Option
2: Per Bedroom Rate Alternatives, Option 2: Per Bedroom Rate Examples, Option 2: Per
Bedroom Rate Alternative 2 Recommended, Considerations, and Staff Recommendations.
Councilmember Diener joined the meeting at 7:02 p.m.
Community Development Director Bond noted his recommendation is to use the 4 year
average in the per bedroom approach which would mean a park impact fee of $616.73 per
bedroom.
To address the ADU requirement, staff recommended code changes to Port Orchard
Municipal Code 20.182.075.
After discussion, Council would like to move forward with staff's recommendations. There
is a public hearing scheduled for March 11, 2025, during the regular City Council meeting
with possible adoption after the hearing.
