It is the intent of the city to facilitate qualified development
projects that provide extraordinary economic benefits to the city
or that provide substantial affordable housing to the city by adopting
a program to defer the payment of certain development fees that would
otherwise be due upon issuance of a building permit.
(Ord. 1445 § 3, 2009)
The city council shall, by resolution or ordinance, adopt administrative
guidelines for the deferred payment of one or more development fees
that are levied in connection with the development of property.
(Ord. 1445 § 3, 2009)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this municipal code, the payment of fees by a property owner, which fees are otherwise due upon issuance of a building permit, may be deferred in accordance with the administrative guidelines adopted pursuant to Section
3.38.020.
(Ord. 1445 § 3, 2009)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this municipal code,
no certificate of occupancy shall be issued for a building or other
development unless all development fees levied on the building or
development have been paid or a valid and binding agreement for the
deferred payment of development fees is in effect, the city has reviewed
the parties' performance under the agreement and the city has determined
that the property owner has complied with each term of the agreement
and that there has been no uncured breach of any term of the agreement.
