C4E - Pay Impact Fees in Installments

Committee Referrals - C4 E

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

RECOMMENDATION

Please place the above item on the City Commission meeting agenda as a referral to the Planning Board.

Currently, all impact fees associated with a new business operation must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit or certificate of use. I would like to refer an Ordinance to the Planning Board to amend Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations, entitled “Concurrency Management and Mobility Fees,” to allow business operators to pay City impact fees over time, in installments. The Ordinance should establish eligibility criteria (including, for example, a financial hardship threshold) and payment terms.

As part of this item, I request that the City Commission waive by a 6/7ths vote the provisions of Resolution No. 2025-33496, and refer this matter directly to the Planning Board.
