GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Review Chubbuck Impact Fee Process and Structure
(Zions Public Finance will present the History and status of current impact fees)
Megan Anderson represented Zions Public Finance and gave a presentation on the
impact fee calculations. During her presentation she explained the method used in the
calculation process and the maximum fee from each category that could be charged. The
impact fee analysis covered a Parks and Recreation impact fee, Police and Animal
Control impact Fee, and Emergency Services (Fire and EMS) impact fees. Mrs. Anderson
stated that if the impact fee committee could not clearly justify an expense it was not used
in the calculations. Mrs. Anderson also stated that impact fees are used to ensure
adequate public facilities are available to serve new growth; promote orderly growth and
development by establishing uniform standards for a local government to require new
growth to pay their proportionate share of the cost of new public facilities; ensure that
new growth and development pays no more than their proportionate share of the public
facilities, and for the City to continue to provide the current/same level of service.
Smith asked about using the City's current census population versus a persons per
household (PPH) to calculate the impact fee. Burch stated that the PPH is a United States
Census Bureau average household size based of the City's population, which allows the
City to calculate an impact fee based off the new development and the impacts that new
development will have on the City. This allows for growth to pay for its proportionate
share.
Berls asked about how a development that would be used for both commercial and
residential would be assessed an impact fee. Anderson stated that the square footage that
is being used for commercial would be assessed the commercial impact fee, and the
square footage used for residential use would be assessed the residential impact fee. Berls
also asked about the United States Census Bureau average household size at 2.79 (PPH)
for single family, and 2.60 (PPH) for multifamily developments. Burch stated that the
multifamily developments are assessed the 2.60 (PPH) per living unit and used the
example that a 4-plex development would be assessed 2.60 (PPH) times four for each
building within that development.
2. Discussion of Minor Code Revisions Affecting Titles 5, 16, 17, and 18 of City Code.
Planning Manager Don Matson, and Development Manager Sean Harris presented
minor code revisions affecting titles 5, 16, 17, and 18. Some of these updates included to
clarify plat review process time from ten calendar days to ten business days, update
details and regulations of sexually oriented business in Titles 5 and 18, and amend Title
18 to be more in line with Idaho Statutes and Municipal Code Title 5, clarify landscaping
requirements between streets and multi -family, commercial, and industrial parking areas,
minor change to the PUD review process to align with the new process in Title 18.28 and
set forth front yard setback requirements, and other minor housekeeping changes
throughout these sections of code
Planning and Development Director Devin Hillam stated that City Staff was looking
at updating city code to require some sort of recreational space within multifamily
developments, and also looking at updating the section of city code on storage units.
Mendenhall entertained a motion to adjourn; Berls made the motion. Holm seconded. All voted
to adjourn at 7:25pm.
