Background and Analysis:
Background and analysis has not changed from first reading to second reading.
The proposed update to the Olympia School District (OSD) Impact fees is based on the adoption by the School Board’s 2019-2024 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP). The Assistant Superintendent presented their CFP and proposed impact fee changes to the City Council on October 23. A public hearing was held on November 13.
The impact fee rates are calculated based, in part, on the projects identified in the District’s CFP that are needed to address future growth. School impact fees are charged only to residential projects inside Olympia city limits. The City collects the fees on behalf of the school district and remits the fees with interest to them on a monthly basis. Based on the school districts approved CFP, the fees are as follows:
2018 2019
Single Family $5,350 $4,972 ($378 decrease from 2018)
Multi-Family $2,621 $2,575 ($46 decrease from 2018)
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):

Options:
1. Move to approve the ordinance amending the Olympia School District impact fees on second reading.
2. Do not approve the Ordinance amending the Olympia School District impact fees. The 2018 OSD impact fee rate would continue to be collected in 2019.
Financial Impact:
Varies based on the number of new single-family or multi-family residential permits issued in 2019.
