PUBLIC NOTICE INFORMATION
Notice Type:
OTHER - A CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR A TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE PROGRAM
Project Description:
The City Council is considering amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, Seattle 2035, related to transportation impact fees. The proposed amendments would (1) amend the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan and related appendices to identify deficiencies in the transportation system associated with new development and (2) incorporate a list of transportation infrastructure projects that would add capacity to help remedy system deficiencies.
Projects included in the list would be eligible for future investments with revenue from a transportation impact fee program. The amendments to Seattle 2035 are a necessary, but not sufficient, step to establish an impact fee program under RCW 82.02.050.
