AGENDA ITEM #d)

of 126

of 126

Part of the Preliminary Plat for the Issaquah Highlands Town Center (PP02-004IH), Tract ZC was created. Most of Tract ZC was subsequently dedicated to the City as High Street NE as part of Final Plat FP02-006IH. However, Port Blakely Communities retained a narrow strip of Tract ZC north of the public street. The strip of land was retained by Port Blakely as a way to control access from the adjacent Mineral Resource activities (Lakeside Industries). As part of negotiating the development agreement for the Lakeside property, the Administration and Lakeside saw benefit to being able to connect their project to High Street to improve neighborhood circulation and connectivity. At the request of the Administration, Port Blakely has agreed to dedicate this strip of land to the City as street right-of-way. By incorporating this strip into the existing right-of-way, a street connection could be made between Lakeside and Issaquah Highlands on High Street between 9th Avenue and West Highlands Park. Consistency With Comprehensive Plan: T-14. Complete missing links, sidewalks, and other enhancements in the existing street system to provide more effective use of existing roads through implementation of the Roadway, Transit, Bicycle and Shared Use Maps and Sidewalk Inventory Map and Sidewalk priority criteria. Lakeside 5.4. Look for opportunities to connect to and extend Issaquah Highlands circulation network. Administration's Recommendation: The Administration recommends Council acceptance of the right-of-way dedication. Update: The Council Land & Shore Committee met on December 10, 2013 regarding AB 6749. Discussion followed surrounding the value added to the City for having the ability to interconnect the Lakeside neighborhoods to High Street. The extra property would be added in to the High Street right-of-way. The right-of-way landscaping is currently maintained by the Issaquah Highlands Community Association. Alternative(s):

Proposed Ordinance: The proposed Ordinance (Exhibit A) authorized the annexation of the Issaquah Middle School property to the City of Issaquah. The Ordinance describes the boundaries of the annexation area, states the annexation area will assume its proportional share of the City's indebtedness existing as of the effective date and sets the zoning as Community Facilities - Facilities, as allowed by RCW 35A.14.120. A public hearing before taking action on this ordinance is required by RCW 35A.14.130 (Exhibit B), and the notification required by said statue has been done. The Notice of Intent to Annex was approved by the Washington State Boundary Review Board on December 4, 2013 (Exhibit C). Annexation Area: The annexation area includes approximately 5.45 acres (237,402 sq ft) and includes the majority of the Issaquah Middle School building and sports field. The adjacent parcel, within the City Limits, which includes the remainder of Issaquah Middle School is currently zoned Community Facilities - Facilities. The purpose of annexation at this time is to allow the City to process the Issaquah School District land use and construction permits for the upgrade of the school facilities planned for 2014/15. The proposed upgrade includes remodeling and expanding the existing school to become the new Clark Elementary School and Tiger Mountain Academy. Consistency With Comprehensive Plan: Several annexation policies adopted in the City’s Comprehensive Plan are applicable to this decision: Objective L-5 Use the Countywide Planning Policies as a basis for regional coordination and land use decisions. Policy L-5.4.2 The annexation area should be able to pay its determined fair share of required services and should not have a negative financial impact on the City. Policy L-5.4.5 The annexation should provide mutual benefits to City residents and the annexation area.

of 126

Policy L-5.4.6 The City should be able to extend urban services to the annexation area while maintaining the existing LOS for City residents. Policy L-5.6 Foster cooperation with all affected parties during the annexation process. Administration's Recommendation: The Administration recommends approval of the Ordinance authorizing the annexation of the Issaquah Middle School property. The Administration also recommends approval at the December 16th meeting so that the land use and construction permitting can proceed. Update: n/a Alternative(s): 1) Do not proceed with annexation of the Issaquah Middle School property at this time. [Impact: If the school district property is not annexed into the City, the land use and construction permits for the upgrade to school facilities would be permitted through King County. This causes inefficiency of permit process for the School District and loss of permit revenues for the City.] 2) Refer AB 6763 to the January, 2014 Council Land & Shore Committee for review and recommendation, returning to the full Council on February, 2014. [Impact: This alternative would add almost two months to this process for the school district, potentially impacting their schedule for land use permits for the upgrade to school facilities.]

Administration/Development Services Department: MOVE TO: Adopt Ordinance No. _____, annexing approximately 5.45 acres of land, which includes the majority of the Issaquah Middle School building and sports field; zoning the annexed land community facilities-facilities; requiring the land to be assessed and taxed at the same rate and on the same basis as other property within the City and to assume its proportionate share of the City’s existing indebtedness.

AGENDA ITEM #b)

of 126

Issaquah’s three levies on the February 2014 ballot

1. Renewal Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Levy: Classroom learning

The Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Levy is the only locally approved ballot measure that directly pays for basic general classroom and operational needs such as special education, curriculum, extra-curricular activities, and staff salaries. If renewed, the M&O Levy will allow the District to collect its full statutory authority, which amounts to between $44 million and $54 million per year from 2015 to 2018. Put in perspective, the M&O levy provides 21¢ of every classroom dollar. That is equivalent to 485 classroom teachers or 575 classified positions (custodians, bus drivers, educational assistants, etc.) Broken down, that equals:

18 elementary teachers and 2 classified staff members at each elementary,

20 teachers and 3 classified staff members at each middle school, AND

24 teachers and 4 classified staff members at each high school.

2. Renewal School Bus Levy: Health, safety, and efficiency

If renewed, the School Bus Levy will provide $1.7 million in 2015 to purchase 71 buses to enable the District’s fleet to run as safely, cleanly, and efficiently as possible. The levy will allow the District to collect state funding to offset the cost of bus purchases, ensure alignment with state safety standards, and provide the most efficient buses, allowing the District to preserve more operational dollars for the classroom.

3. Renewal Capital Levy: Classroom technology and critical repairs

The Capital Levy includes two components: educational technology and critical repairs for each school District-wide. If renewed, the District will collect $41.8 million for technology and $10.2 million for critical repairs over the life of the levy. For technology, these dollars will fund replacement of aging computers, printers, servers, and document cameras; staff training; development of online classes/educational opportunities; school tech specialists; upgrade of wireless Internet; safety and efficiency software for school bus operations; and continued upgrades to District websites, emergency alert systems, and other e-communications. For critical repairs,

the Capital Levy includes maintenance of heating and cooling systems, additional portable classroom space, safety and security upgrades.

Fast facts

Stability: Over the next four years, owners of homes with the district-average assessed valuation of $500,000 will contribute about $40 more per year than they currently do if all three levies are renewed.

Financial management: The Issaquah School District has the highest bond rating (Aaa) of any public school district in Washington State on Moody’s scale and has received exemplary audit reports for eleven consecutive years.

Levies and bonds: Washington ranks 43 out of 50 states in per-pupil education funding, according to “Education Week;” Issaquah ranks 292 out of 295 Washington school districts in state per-pupil education funding. A levy or bond measure is the one funding mechanism provided by law that enables the local community to directly invest in the quality of its schools to overcome these shortfalls.

AGENDA ITEM #b)

of 126

This Agenda Bill replaces AB 6668. The original Agenda Bill has changed significantly due to discussions at Council Land and Shore, Council budget deliberations and the November 12 fee workshop. The original AB 6668 remains valid for background purposes. Agenda Bill AB 6668 presented the issues before Council in 2013 for discussion on the following dates:

� June 17 Agenda Bill 6668 referred to Land & Shore Committee

� July 9 Land & Shore Committee Discussion

� August 13 Land & Shore Committee Discussion

� September 10 Land & Shore Committee Discussion

� November 12 Council DSD Fee Workshop Discussion

� November 18 Council Budget Adoption - supported $400,000 additional revenue through permit fees

� December 10 Land & Shore Committee Discussion

� December 16 Regular Council Meeting The original issues presented in AB 6668 have changed significantly and are summarized below:

� The Pilot Fee program referenced in the 2012 Moss Adams Fee Study was completed in May of 2013. The fee comparisons used in that study no longer reflect the range of fees we are now proposing. We have incorporated suggestions from that study as well as comments received from Council.

� The proposed ordinance (Exhibit A) amending IMC 3.64 and 3.65 has been amended. We have deleted the reference to Mayoral authorization to adjust fees administratively.

� The Land Use and Engineering fees shown in the Moss Adams Fee Study and AB 6668 have been revised and updated. (Ordinance Exhibits A and B)

� In IMC 3.65 Section K was further amended adding a section addressing Consultants and reimbursement

SUMMARY STATEMENT

AGENDA ITEM #a)

of 126

to the city when consultants are used as part of permit review process. � At the November 12 Council Workshop there were suggestions to consider a phased in approach to fee

implementation over a 3 year period along with a delayed implementation date to provide notice of fee increases.

� At the December 10, 2013 Land & Shore meeting the fee proposal was discussed further. The Committee recommended 100% cost recovery of the proposed fees effective April 1, 2014; and the requested this item be placed under Regular Business for the Council Meeting of December 16, 2013.

Consistency With Comprehensive Plan: Objective Ev-5 Regulatory Reform: Ensure that the development review and permit process is clear, predictable and certain. Process applications in a consistent manner, and ensure that the development requirements are explicit and up to date. Administration's Recommendation: The Administration recommends adoption of the revised proposed Ordinance. Update: (See Summary) Alternative(s): 1) Amend fee schedule to reflect higher or lower fees or combination 2) Leave fees as currently adopted by IMC. (Impact: this option leaves inconsistencies between fees charged and services provided to the degree that some services are not accounted for by existing fees. Existing fees are based in part on costs evaluated in 2006.

Council Land and Shore/Stacy Goodman, Chair: MOVE TO: Adopt Ordinance No. _____, retitling Chapter 3.64; amending fees for applications for subdivisions and zoning actions as established in Chapter 3.64; amending engineering fees as set forth in Chapter 3.65 of the Issaquah Municipal Code.

2. It is reasonable and fair to advertise fee increases in advance giving developers opportunity to plan accordingly to proposed fee increase.

3. There were comments of support pointing to a fee schedule implemented at 80% 2014, 90% 2015 and 100% 2016.

4. There were further comments supporting a desire to review fees every year to see how the city is doing relative to cost recovery and any impacts that fee increases might have on development. Council could determine at a later date to freeze fees for an additional year if cost of fees is slowing development.

5. General agreement supporting full cost recovery

2. Basic Objectives Used In Fee Development

1. Ensure that single family residences and remodels are minimally impacted by fee increases. 2. Ensure that small businesses and tenant improvements are minimally impacted by fee increases. 3. Fees work to support full cost recovery

1. Response to Council Questions raised at Nov. 12 Workshop

1. At what point do higher fees drive away development?

It is the experience of professionals who work with fee adjustments that fee increases, such as

100% cost recovery, will not drive away development. There are many factors that lead to a

decision to develop in Issaquah. These factors include proximity to work, quality of schools,

cultural activities, the surrounding natural environment, general quality of life, etc. At the

September 9 Council Workshop on Traffic Impact Fees and Concurrency, Randy Young explained

in his experience working with many jurisdictions throughout the country he has not seen a case

where higher fees drove away development.

AGENDA ITEM #a)

of 126

The two project examples shown on page 2 and 3 of this report illustrate that the proposed fee

increases over current fees, represent a minimal (single digit) percentage increase when

compared to total project valuations.

2. Should we set fees with lower than 100% Cost Recovery for certain priorities?

Historically governments may prioritize certain projects through various levers, and one of those

levers may be reduced cost recovery. The Administration suggests the following project types

and permit phases should receive City subsidy:

a. Small businesses: such as Home Occupations, Short Plats (4 lots or less); Signs, lot line

adjustments

b. Homeowners: such as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s), Shoreline construction,

Administrative code adjustments;

c. Initial permit process steps to encourage and support early collaboration leading to a

smoother, successful development process: such as Pre-Application Meetings,

Neighborhood Meetings, Community Conferences;

d. Appeals – To enable all people to have access to this permit process.

e. Affordable Housing - Currently exempt from all fees (with the exception of water

connection installation fees).

Implications of less or no City subsidy: Creates a barrier toward the success of projects the

community has prioritized.

3. Some fees show large increases compared to the existing fee schedule. How do the proposed

fees compare with other cities?

In response, the Administration revisited the proposed fee schedule and reduced several fees to

more closely reflect existing fees. For example:

The Lot Line Adjustment fee for a “Single Family” proposes to change from the existing $607.50

to $1,200 (80%), $1,350 (90%), $1,500 (100%). This assumes a City subsidy of 50% cost recovery.

The Moss Adams Study (page 16) shows comparable fees of $7,610 (Issaquah Pilot Program),

$1,049 (Kirkland), $6,536.39 - $6,953.21 (Redmond).

Master Site Plan fees are reduced from $75,000 to $40,000 to reflect the fact the work is often

bundled with other permits and fees. Bundling of permits and reviewing them concurrently

allows a higher efficiency of review and lessens review times. The fee also reflects a closer

alignment of fees to what the city charged in previous years.

Shoreline Substantial Development Permits for Single Family homes proposes to change from

the existing $607.50 to $2,000 (80%), $2,250 (90%), $2,500 (100%). This assumes a City subsidy

of 50% cost recovery. The Moss Adams Study (page 17) shows comparable fees of $200

(Kirkland), $3,723.44 - $2,724 (Redmond).

5. If fees change, will the fees under each Development Agreements change? If so, how?

Permit fees charged under each development agreement are dependent on the unique

agreements between the City and developer as follows:

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FEE STATUS COMMENTS

Issaquah Highlands City Fee Schedule Most recent adopted schedule, as it may be amended.

Source: Appendix L, Section 15, “Fees” “Prior to execution of this Agreement, the parties shall agree upon the fees payable to the MDRT and the separate fees, if any, payable for particular permits or approvals.” In 2012, the Parties mutually agreed to a Pilot Fee Agreement that expires 12/31/13 and moves to the City’s permanent fee schedule.

6. Should we provide advance notice of increased fees?

To provide certainty and predictability for developments that may have already set their

development budgets, there should be advance notice of any new fees.

Notice Methods: May include, but not be limited to: Direct mailing to all current applicants; City

notice through social media outlets; newspaper notice; staff notice with public interactions;

Issaquah Chamber of Commerce outreach; Downtown Issaquah Association (DIA) outreach;

other methods as further identified.

Length of Notice: Some council members suggested a 6 month or 3 month notice period after

adoption to effective date, such as July 1st or April 1st. The council may conclude that sufficient

notice can be provided over a shorter period such as a 3 month notice period with effective date

of April 1st.

AGENDA ITEM #a)

of 126

Implications of no, or shorter, notice: Potential reduced trust in government by development

and the broader community due to “surprise” new fees.

Implications of longer notice: Potential confusion and need for greater staff and developer

resources will continue with the multiple fee schedules currently in place. A July 1st or later

implementation impacts the City’s ability to raise fees by $400,000 for 2014. Some Urban

Village fee agreements may revert back to time and material billing and incur greater cost to

developers and City staff.

7. Should we consider a phasing plan toward higher cost recovery? Yes, the City could phase into higher cost recovery in order to buffer the impacts upon

development budgets. Based on the Council Fee Workshop feedback, the Administration has

illustrated this as follows:

1) July 1, 2014: 80%

2) July 1, 2015: 90%

3) July 1, 2016: 100%

Notes:

a. Certain Urban Village Development Agreements will maintain 100% cost recovery

during all phase in periods to be consistent with agreements.

b. See separate discussion regarding effective date during each year (e.g. April 1st, July

1st, etc.)

Implications of different phasing: Slower phasing results in lower cost recovery, less revenue

generation, continuing the pattern of others paying for development review services. Faster

phasing potentially reduces trust in government by a “surprise” fee increase and may put up a

barrier to new development.

8. Can projects that are in process now stay with, or be grandfathered to, the existing fees

associated with those projects?

Typically fees are subject to change until the time they are paid and are not “grandfathered”.

The purpose of the proposed 3 or 6 month notice period is to address this fee increase concern

by providing applicants with advance notice to budget for this fee change.

However, if desired the Administration can work with the City Attorney to craft language that

would fix fees for those projects currently in the “process”. “Process” would have to be defined

and could mean any type of Complete Application or other definition.

Implications of “grandfathering”: Fixing these permit fees would result in less cost recovery and

revenue generation than the proposal. Tracking these fee agreements will require greater staff

resources and may result in confusion with developers.

AGENDA ITEM #a)

of 126

9. Are there methods planned to track the cost recovery percentage of any newly adopted fees?

A full fee cost recovery survey or fee study within a 3 year from implementation time frame is a

reasonable option. A more simplified method would be to track actual annual revenues to

expenditures.

Implications of little or no tracking: Uncertainty as to whether we are meeting adopted cost

recovery goals. Less information makes it more difficult to adjust fees in the future and more

difficult to know whether we are meeting sustainable budget goals.

2. Proposed Fee Schedule

See the Draft Fee Schedule attached.

3. Administration Recommendation

The Administration recommends

1. Single year cost recovery phase in:

2. 3 months advance notice prior to effective date = April 1, 2013.

3. Reduced cost recovery for priorities including:

a. Small businesses

b. Homeowners

c. Support Early collaboration steps of permit process

d. Support Code Flexibility

e. Appeals – Allow access by all to due process

f. Affordable Housing – Exempt by existing code

Alternatives:

1) No Change to existing fee schedules

2) Different permit fees with different cost recovery percentages

3) Different phasing plan

4) Different effective date

Implications of Alternatives are discussed above.

BACKGROUND Approximately 63-acres of land within Issaquah Highlands was purchased by the Microsoft Corporation in 2003. Earlier this year, that land was resold to the Issaquah Highlands Investment Fund, LLC (IHIF). The land is entitled with 1,238,705 square feet of Commercial development from the Issaquah Highlands 2-Party Agreement which is due to expire in 2017. IHIF is seeking a new development agreement for the 63 acres of property (Exhibit A). DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT Authorization: RCW 36.70.B.170 authorizes a city to enter into a development agreement to establish the development standards and other provisions that will apply to, govern and vest the use, development and related mitigation of the property for the duration specified in the agreement. State law also requires that the development agreement be consistent with the city's applicable development regulations. Purpose & Intent The City and IHIF are considering negotiating a development agreement to ensure that the Property (Exhibit B) is developed in a manner that is mutually beneficial to the community and IHIF; that development of the property will be compatible with the development agreement provisions of the adjacent Issaquah Highlands, Swedish, and Lakeside projects; and, that development of the property will be based on a public/private partnership that seeks to maximize the opportunities for investment of public and private resources. The final agreement must be approved by Ordinance or Resolution of the City Council after a Public Hearing. The goal is to have Council action on the Development Agreement by mid 2014. The final adoption schedule will depend on several factors, including the time needed to complete the environmental review and the specifics of the development agreement. Since this property lies within Issaquah Highlands, there will not be a rezone or Comprehensive Plan Amendment needed with this development agreement. Consistency With Comprehensive Plan:
