3.36.010 Findings and authority.
The city council of the city of Edmonds (the "council') hereby finds and
determines that new growth and development in the city of Edmonds will create
additional demand and need for public facilities in the city of Edmonds, and the
council finds that new growth and development should pay a proportionate share
of the cost of new facilities needed to serve the new growth and development.
The city of Edmonds has conducted extensive studies documenting the
procedures for measuring the impact of new developments on public facilities,
has prepared the rate study and procedures guide for park impact fees, and
hereby incorporates these studies into this title by reference. Therefore, pursuant
to Chapter 82.02 RCW, the council adopts the ordinance codified in this chapter
to assess impact fees for parks. The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally
construed in order to carry out the purposes of the council in establishing the
impact fee program. These fees can and will only be applied to projects resulting
from city-wide development growth. These fees cannot be used to mitigate
existing shortfalls of the park system.
3.36.020 Definitions.
The following words and terms shall have the following meanings for the

A. Required. The city shall collect impact fees, based on the rates in ECC
3
3.36.120, from any applicant seeking development approval from the city for any
development activity within the city as provided herein, including the expansion of
existing structures or uses or change of existing uses that creates additional
demand for public facilities.
1. For the purposes of this chapter, development activity shall not include
miscellaneous improvements that do not add any demand for public facilities,
including, but not limited to, fences, walls, swimming pools accessory to a
residential use, and signs.
2. For the purposes of this chapter, development activity shall not include
replacement of a residential structure with a new residential structure of the same
type at the same site or lot when such replacement occurs within 12 months of
the demolition or destruction of the prior residential structure. Replacement of a
residential structure with a new residential structure of the same type shall be
interpreted to include any residential structure for which there is no increase in
the number of residential units.
3. For the purposes of this chapter, development activity shall not include
alterations, expansions, enlargement, remodeling, rehabilitation or conversion of
an existing dwelling unit where no additional dwelling units are created and the
use is not changed. Note: accessory dwelling units (ADU) are not considered to
create additional dwelling units because ECDC 20.21.020 does not consider
ADUs as increasing the overall density of a single-family residential
neighborhood.
B. Timing and Calculation of Fees. Impact fees shall be assessed based upon
the park impact fee rates in effect at the time of issuance of the building permit,
including but not limited to change of use permit or remodel permit.
1. For a change in use of an existing building or dwelling unit, including any
alteration, expansion, replacement or new accessory building, the impact fee
shall be the applicable impact fee for the new use, less an amount equal to the
applicable impact fee for the prior use.
2. For mixed use developments, impact fees shall be imposed for the
proportionate share of each land use based on the applicable measurement in
the impact fee rates set forth in ECC 3.36.120.
3. [reserved]
4. Applicants that have been awarded credits prior to the submittal of the
complete building permit application pursuant to ECC 3.36.050 shall submit,
along with the complete building permit application, a copy of the letter or
certificate prepared by the director pursuant to ECC 3.36.050 setting forth the
dollar amount of the credit awarded.
C. Payment. Impact fees shall be paid at the time the building permit or business
license is issued by the city. The department shall not issue the required building
permit or business license or other approval unless and until the impact fees set
forth in ECC 3.36.120 have been paid in the amount that they exceed
exemptions or credits provided pursuant to ECC 3.36.040 or 3.36.050.
3.36.040 Exemptions.
A. Except as provided for below, the following shall be exempted from the
4
payment of all impact fees under this chapter:
1. Low-income housing provided by non-profit organizations such as, but not
limited to, Habitat for Humanity. Owners of low-income single family dwelling
units, condominiums and other low-income housing shall execute and record a
lien against the property, in favor of the City, for a period of ten (10) years
guaranteeing that the dwelling unit will continue to be used for low-income
housing or that impact fees from which the Low-income housing is exempted,
plus interest shall be paid. The lien against the property shall be subordinate
only to the lien for general taxes. In the event that the development is no longer
used for low-income rental housing, the owner shall pay the City the impact fee
from which the owner or any prior owner was exempt, plus interest at the
statutory rate. Any claim for an exemption for low-income owner occupied
housing must be made no later than the time of application for a building permit.
Any claim not so made shall be deemed waived.
B. The director shall be authorized to determine whether a particular
development activity falls within an exemption identified in this section, in any
other section, or under other applicable law. Determinations of the director shall
be in writing and shall be subject to the appeals procedures set forth in ECC
3.36,070.
3.36.050 Credits.
A. Pursuant to the requirement of RCW 82.02.060(4), a feepayer shall be entitled
to a credit for the value of any dedication of land for, improvement to, or new
construction of any park system improvements provided by the feepayer, to
facilities that are identified in the capital facilities plan and that are required by the
city as a condition of approving the development activity.
B. The director shall determine if requests for credits meet the criteria in
subsection A of this section.
C. For each request for a credit or credits, the director shall select an appraiser
or the feepayer may select an independent appraiser acceptable to the director.
D. The appraiser must be prequalified by the City and shall not have a fiduciary
or personal interest in the property being appraised. A description of the
appraiser's certification shall be included with the appraisal, and the appraiser
shall certify that he/she does not have a fiduciary or personal interest in the
property being appraised.
E. The appraiser shall be directed to determine the total value of the dedicated
land, improvements, and/or construction provided by the feepayer on a case -by -
case basis.
F. The feepayer shall pay for the cost of the appraisal or request that the cost of
the appraisal be deducted from the credit which the director may be providing to
the feepayer, in the event that a credit is awarded.

letter or certificate setting forth the dollar amount of the credit, the reason for the
credit, the legal description of the site donated where applicable, and the legal
description or other adequate description of the project or development to which
the credit may be applied. The applicant must sign and date a duplicate copy of
such letter or certificate indicating his/her agreement to the terms of the letter or
certificate, and return such signed document to the director before the impact fee
credit will be awarded. The failure of the applicant to sign, date, and return such
document within 60 calendar days shall nullify the credit.
H. No credit shall be given for project improvements required of the development
by city code and/or SEPA; only dedications in excess of those required by law
are eligible for credit. In no event shall this provision be interpreted to authorize
cash payment. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to limit the discretion of the
city council to decline to accept any proposed dedication.
I. A feepayer can request that a credit or credits for impact fees be awarded to
him/her for significant past tax payments. For each request for a credit or credits
for significant past tax payments for park impact fees, the feepayer shall submit
receipts and a calculation of past tax payments earmarked for or proratable to
the particular system improvement. The director shall determine the amount of
credits, if any, for significant past tax payments for public park facilities.
J. Any claim for credit must be made no later than 20 calendar days after the
submission of an application for a building permit. The failure to timely file such a
claim shall constitute a final bar to later request any such credit.
K. Determinations made by the director pursuant to this section shall be subject
to the appeals procedures set forth in ECC 3.36.070.
L. A feepayer may, in the alternative, appeal an assessment or mitigation
requirement which he believes exceeds the total which may lawfully be imposed.
See ECDC 18.50.020(C).
3.36.060 Tax adjustments.
Pursuant to and consistent with the requirements of RCW 82.02.060, the rate
study has provided adjustments for future taxes to be paid by the new
development which are earmarked or proratable to the same new public facilities
which will serve the new development. The impact fee rates in ECC 3.36.120
have been reasonably adjusted for taxes and other revenue sources which are
anticipated to be available to fund public improvements.
3.36.070 Appeals.
A. Any feepayer may pay the impact fees imposed by this chapter under protest
in order to obtain a building permit.
B. Appeals regarding the amount of the impact fee imposed on any development
activity may only be filed by the feepayer of the property where such
development activity will occur. This provision shall control over any other
provisions of city ordinance.
C. The feepayer must first file a request for review regarding impact fees with the
director, as provided herein:
1. The request shall be in writing on the form provided by the city;
2. The request for review by the director shall be filed within 14 calendar days of
the feepayer's payment of the impact fees at issue. The failure to timely file such
a request shall constitute a final bar to later seek such review;
3. An administrative fee will be imposed for the request for review by the director;
:.9
this shall be the same as that imposed for a request for reconsideration of a staff
decision;
4. The director shall issue his/her determination in writing within 14 days from the
receipt of a request for review.
D. Determinations of the director with respect to the applicability of the impact
fees to a given development activity, the availability or value of a credit, or the
director's decision concerning the independent fee calculation which is
authorized in ECC 3.36.130, or the fees imposed by the director pursuant to ECC
3.36.120, or any other determination which the director is authorized to make
pursuant to this chapter, can be appealed to the hearing examiner.
E. The decision of the director may be appealed to the hearing examiner as a
Type II decision in accordance with Chapter 20.06 ECDC.
3.36.080 Establishment of impact fee accounts.
A. Impact fee receipts shall be earmarked specifically and deposited in special
interest -bearing accounts.
B. There is hereby established a separate impact fee account for the fees
collected pursuant to this chapter, the park impact account. Funds withdrawn
from this account must be used in accordance with the provisions of ECC
3.36.100 and applicable state law. Interest earned on the fees shall be retained
in the account and expended for the purposes for which the impact fees were
collected.
C. On an annual basis, the finance director shall provide a report to the council
on the impact fee account showing the source and amount of all monies
collected, earned, or received, and the public improvements that were financed in
whole or in part by impact fees.
D. Impact fees shall be expended or encumbered within ten years of receipt,
unless the council identifies in written findings extraordinary and compelling
reason or reasons for the city to hold the fees beyond the ten-year period. Under
such circumstances, and prior to the expiration of the ten-year period, the council
shall establish the period of time within which the impact fees shall be expended
or encumbered.
3.36.090 Refunds.
A. If the city fails to expend or encumber the impact fees within ten years of when
the fees were paid or, where extraordinary or compelling reasons exist, such
other time periods as established pursuant to ECC 3.36.080, the current owner of
the property on which impact fees have been paid may receive a refund of such
fees. In determining whether impact fees have been expended or encumbered,
impact fees shall be considered expended or encumbered on a first -in, first -out
basis.
B. The city shall notify potential claimants by first class mail that they are eligible
for a park impact fee refund. This notification shall be done by first class mail
deposited with the United States Postal Service at the last known address of
such claimants. A potential claimant must be the owner of the property.
C. Owners seeking a refund of impact fees must submit a written request for a
7
refund of the fees to the director within one year of the date the right to claim the
refund arises or the date that notice is given, whichever is later.
D. Any impact fees for which no application for a refund has been made within
this one-year period shall be retained by the city and expended on the
appropriate public facilities.
E. Refunds of impact fees under this section shall include any interest earned on
the impact fees by the city.
F. When the city seeks to terminate any or all components of the impact fee
program, all unexpended or unencumbered funds from any terminated
component or components, including interest earned, shall be refunded pursuant
to this section. Upon the finding that any or all fee requirements are to be
terminated, the city shall place notice of such termination and the availability of
refunds in a newspaper of general circulation at least two times and shall notify
all potential claimants by first class mail at the last known address of the
claimants. All funds available for refund shall be retained for a period of one year.
At the end of one year, any remaining funds shall be retained by the city, but
must be expended for the appropriate public facilities. This notice requirement
shall not apply if there are no unexpended or unencumbered balances within the
account or accounts being terminated.
G. The city shall also refund to the current owner of property for which impact
fees have been paid, including interest earned on the impact fees, if the
development activity for which the impact fees were imposed did not occur;
provided, that if the city has expended or encumbered the impact fees in good
faith prior to the application for a refund, the director can decline to provide the
refund. If within a period of three years, the same or subsequent owner of the
property proceeds with the same or substantially similar development activity, the
owner can petition the director for an offset. The petitioner must provide receipts
of impact fees previously paid for a development of the same or substantially
similar nature on the same property or some portion thereof. Determinations of
the director shall be in writing and shall be subject to the appeals procedures set
forth in ECC 3.36.070.
3.36.100 Use of funds.
A. Pursuant to this chapter, impact fees:
1. Shall be used for public improvements that will reasonably benefit new
development; and
2. Shall not be imposed to make up for deficiencies in public facilities serving
existing developments; and
3. Shall not be used for maintenance or operations.
B. Park impact fees may be spent for public improvements, including, but not
limited to, planning, engineering, surveying, land acquisition, right-of-way
acquisition, site improvements, necessary off -site improvements, construction,
architectural, permitting, financing, and administrative expenses, applicable
impact fees or mitigation costs, and any other expenses which can be
capitalized.
C. Impact fees may also be used to recoup public improvement costs previously
Foc
incurred by the city to the extent that new growth and development will be served
by the previously constructed improvements or incurred costs.
D. In the event that bonds or similar debt instruments are or have been issued for
the advanced provision of public improvements for which impact fees may be
expended, impact fees may be used to pay debt service on such bonds or similar
debt instruments to the extent that the facilities or improvements provided are
consistent with the requirements of this section and are used to serve the new
development.
3.36.110 Review.
The fee rates set forth in ECC 3.36.120 may be reviewed and adjusted by the
council as it deems necessary and appropriate in conjunction with the annual
update of the capital facilities plan element of the city's comprehensive plan. The
fee rates may be adjusted 12 months after the effective date of the ordinance
codified in this chapter, or 12 months after the most recent review by the council.
The council may determine the amount of any adjustment up or down and revise
the fee rates set forth in ECC 3.36.120.
3.36.120 Park impact fee rates.
The park impact fee rates in this section are generated from the formula for
calculating impact fees set forth in the rate study, which is incorporated herein by
reference. Except as otherwise provided for independent fee calculations in ECC
3.36.130, exemptions in ECC 3.36.040 and credits in ECC 3.36.050, all new
developments in the city will be charged the park impact fee applicable to the
type of development as follows:
A. Effective October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014:
1. Single-family house: $1,367.03 per dwelling unit.
2. Multi -family residential housing: $1,170.06 per dwelling unit.
3. Non-residential development: $0.67 per square foot.
B. Effective October 1, 2014:
1. Single-family house: $2,734.05 per dwelling unit.
2. Multi -family residential housing: $2,340.16 per dwelling unit.
3. Non-residential development: $1.34 per square foot.
3.36.130 Independent fee calculations.
A. If in the judgment of the director, none of the fee categories or fee amounts set
forth in ECC 3.36.120 accurately describe or capture the impacts of a new
development on parks, the department may ask the applicant to conduct
independent fee calculations and the director may impose alternative fees on a
specific development based on those calculations. The alternative fees and the
calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be agreed to by the director and
the feepayer. The documentation submitted shall show the basis upon which the
independent fee calculation was made.
B. Any feepayer submitting an independent fee calculation will be required to pay
the city of Edmonds a fee to cover the cost of reviewing the independent fee
calculation. The fee required by the city for conducting the review of the
9
independent fee calculation shall be $200.00 plus the actual cost of outside
consultant review if required by the city, unless otherwise established by the
director, and shall be paid by the feepayer prior to initiation of review.
C. While there is a presumption that the calculations set forth in the rate study
are valid, the director shall consider the documentation submitted by the
feepayer, but is not required to accept such documentation or analysis which the
director reasonably deems to be inaccurate or not reliable, and may, in the
alternative, require the feepayer to submit additional or different documentation
for consideration. The director is authorized to adjust the impact fees on a case -
by -case basis based on the independent fee calculation, the specific
characteristics of the development, and/or principles of fairness. The fees or
alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be
mailed to the feepayer.
D. Determinations made by the director pursuant to this section may be appealed
to the office of the hearing examiner as set forth in ECC 3.36.070.
3.36.140 Existing authority unimpaired.
Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the city from requiring the feepayer or the
proponent of a development activity to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of
a specific development pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter
43.21 C RCW, based on the environmental documents accompanying the
underlying development approval process, and/or Chapter 58.17 RCW,
governing plats and subdivisions; provided, that the exercise of this authority is
consistent with the provisions of Chapters 43.21 C and 82.02 RCW.
3.36.150 Procedures guide.
The director is authorized to develop a procedures guide to facilitate the city's
administration and enforcement of this chapter. The procedures guide shall be
consistent with the provisions of this chapter, shall be for the sole convenience of
the city, and shall not vest any rights in or for any other person.
