Family Unit, $3,200 per unit for Multi Family, $2,500 per unit for Mixed Use Dwelling Units and then a
$1 .00 per square foot for Commercial Retail and lndustrial Building. She explained that this was the
current rate. On each July annually throughout the term of this Agreement, those amounts will adjust up
by the Engineering News Record Construction Cost lndex.

Residential Development Agreement Fee, two kinds of residences will be exempt. This follows the

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.
