Richland City Council may raise impact fees for developers
Richland City Council may raise impact fees for developers
The Richland City Council on Tuesday will look at raising the parks fee paid for each new home built in the city.
City staff members say the fee, known as an impact fee, needs to nearly double -- from $683 per single-family home to $1,187, or a 74 percent increase -- to cover the cost of buying land and building new parks to serve residents as the city's population grows.
The council gave preliminary approval to the increase last week in a 4-1 vote, but wanted further discussion before taking a final vote. Councilman Phil Lemley voted no.
