This follows the -t PC Minutes 2-7-17 Page 4 of 5 City's standard with respect Development lmpact Fee's: 1) Low lncome Residential Housing - a Project that receives public subsidies and is a restricted low income affordable housing Project, they would be exempt for the Development Agreement Fee (DAG) and a Disabled Veteran's project similarly would be exempt. 2) Private lnstitutional Uses and the non-sanctuary part of places of worship - would be subject to the same $1.00 per square foot DAG Fee. What would be exempt are the following: governmental buildings, public schools, sanctuary building of a place of worship (not the offices or ancillary buildings), non-profit full time Schools Grades K-12. Those uses are exempt but Private lnstitutional Uses that don't fall into those categories and the non-sanctuary portion of places of worship would also pay these fees'. The purpose of the Development Agreement is to vest the existing Land Use Controls. The way it is defined in the Development Agreement is applicable rules and regulations. Excluded would be, the obligation for the owner or businesses, residences, future users of the property are subject to the City's General and Special Taxes. That will be a new section: 1 .3.4.10.
