Subject: 2025-2031 Capital Facilities Plan
Auburn School District has prepared our 2025 — 2031 Capital Facilities Plan which includes the
calculation of impact fees. This year's impact fees and computations are as follows:
Single Family

Auburn School District Adjustment

($5.442)
2025 IMPACT FEES:
$8,003
$8,966
Attached are copies of the full fee calculations.
During the past year, the District experienced an increase in the construction cost for a new middle
school and an increase in single-family and multi -family Student Generation Factors. This contributed
to an increase in the impact fee for single-family residences from $4,584 to $8,003. It also contributed
to an increase in the impact fee for multi -family residences.
Based on an application of King County Code 21A and its associated formula, the District's impact fee
for multi -family residences in 2025 would increase from $8,966 to $14,408. The District has reduced
this fee by $5,442 to match the multi -family fee collected in 2024. This discretionary reduction was
made to establish a more stable impact fee that is generated by multi -family developments.
Please let me know if you or others have questions or would like to meet with me to review our fees
and the 2025 — 2031 Capital Facilities Plan.
The 2025 — 2031 Capital Facilities Plan will be submitted for adoption by the Auburn School District
Board of Directors on June 9, 2025.

Dear Alexandria-
Dieringer School District has updated our impact fee calculations for the period 2025-2031. The calculation for a single
family residence is slightly lower than the maximum fee per Pierce County Code 4A.30.030 at $7,333 (and lower than the
previous year). The calculation for multi -family residences is up from $3,400 to the Pierce County maximum of $4,545.
However, according to Pierce County, there are no active permits for multi -family residences in the Dieringer service
area.
Sincerely,
Laura Marcoe, Executive Director of Business Services

Good afternoon,
The City of Auburn is beginning the Annual Comprehensive Plan update process for 2025, and I wanted to make
you aware of the items the City needs to complete the process.
To process the Annual Amendment the City requires submission of the following items:
1. Adopted or draft Capital Facilities Plan
2. SEPA Determination and Environmental Checklist
3. Matrix of the adopted fee calculations
4. A memo to council to increase, decrease or retain the school impact fees.
Providing the required information is appreciated as early as possible to avoid issues in incorporating materials
into the Annual Comprehensive Plan Package (June/July 2025). If the Capital Facilities Plan has not yet been
adopted by the school board, a draft version is sufficient for acceptance. Please provide the estimated date for the
school boards adoption of the Capital Facilities Plan and I will reach out for the Final Adopted Plans to insert into
the Annual Amendment Package.
Thank you for your assistance in this process. I will provide periodic updates as the project moves forward and
dates of Planning Commission meetings.
