Planning and Community Development Committee Minutes Page 1
September 24, 2018
Councilmember April Barker led the first Neighborhood Equity Assessment
discussion with community partners, which will continue in a series inviting
partners to discuss what equity and housing means to them and the people they
serve. This work session she invited partners who focus their service on primary
and secondary age students, which included the Bellingham School District and
Whatcom County Health Department. During the next Neighborhood Equity
work session, service providers for senior citizens and the elderly will be invited.
21922 2. Revisions to BMC Title 19 - Impact Fees for Accessory Dwelling Units p. 7
Greg Auccutt, Assistant Director for the Planning and Community Development
Department, presented a recommendation for impact fees for accessory
dwelling units, which included a reduction in park impact fees. In this
recommendation, the total fees for new ADUs would be reduced from $4,071 to
$3,137, a $934 reduction.
Councilmember Michael Lilliquist moved to request staff to bring back a
recommendation that has a distinction between detached and attached ADUs
and incorporates lower impact fees. Motion carried 3-0.
This item will return to the Planning and Community Development Committee.
