The front foot fees charged were originally established by Ordinance No. 759 in 1976 and were later amended by Ordinance 759-F in 1990 but residential front foot fees were capped at a maximum billable limit of 10,000 square feet. The front foot fees have not been updated in the past 14 years and thus the cap remains. Currently there are no separate fees charged for residential lots over 10,000 square feet. Commercial parcels over 10,000 square feet are charged the calculated amount for the parcel or phase. The data found in the exhibits seeks to provide to Council what the methodology would be for lots over 10,000 square feet. It will be Council's discretion to update the front foot fees at a later date. Staff seeks direction from Council on administering front foot fees for extended acreage residential areas. The surface of residential extended acreage lot front foot fees are being sepam.tely presented given the recent interest in a residential large lot district overlay for the City. A public hearing is not required. Action Reouired bv Council: Provide direction to staff on 'the future adoption of front foot fees for extended aCreage residential lot development.
