Agenda Subject: Ordinance No. 6340 Date: December 14, 2010
The approved Capital Facilities Plans contain proposed school impact fees for each of the Districts. The
setting of the actual fees occurs through separate Council action amending Chapter 19.02 of the Auburn
City Code. Section 19.02.060 (Annual Council Review) specifies the following:
On at least an annual basis, the city council shall review the information submitted by the district pursuant
to ACC 19.02.050. The review shall be in conjunction with any update of the capital facilities plan element
of the city's comprehensive plan. The city council may also at this time determine if an adjustment to the
amount of the impact fees is necessary; provided, that any school impact fee adjustment that would
increase the school impact fee shall require the submittal of a written request for the adjustment by the
applicable school district concurrent with the submittal of the annual capital facilities plan pursuant to ACC
19.02.050. In making its decision to adjust impact fees, the city council will take into consideration the
quality and completeness of the information provided in the applicable school district capital facilities plan
and may decide to enact a fee less than the amount supported by the capital facilities plan.
Section 19.02.060 establishes that the Auburn City Council is not obligated to accept the fees proposed
by the School Districts within their submitted Capital Facilities Plans and may establish fees that the
Council determines are more appropriate and consistent with the public's interest in reasonably mitigating
school impacts within the affected portion of the City.
The following are the amounts of school impact fees collected over the last year as of the date of this
report:
Auburn $801,700.72
Federal Way $3,832.00
Kent and Dieringer $0
