History
AMENDMENT SUMMARY
See case 2023-0915.
Section 5-112.H Development and Subdivision Exactions
Rewrite of the Development and Subdivision Exactions: Dedication of Land and Fees in Lieu of Dedication section of the Land Development Code to conform to industry standards associated with residential development.
AMENDMENT EXPLANATION
The proposed amendment for development and subdivision exactions focuses on ensuring adequate resources, facilities, and other development-related capital expenses to support new residential land development are provided. Although some portions have undergone updates over the years, a comprehensive overhaul of the current impact fee regulations has not occurred since 1994.
While there is no mandatory requirement to collect impact fees, the Village must adhere to specific state laws if such fees are gathered, which have been updated in this amendment. Additionally, if approved, each taxing district would be required to sign an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to disburse the fees.
Updating the impact fees aligns the Village with other comparable municipalities and will ensure development-related capital expenses will reflect the actual costs anticipated by the Village and other taxing districts. Law enforcement, fire and emergency response, and Village public infrastructure were not previously collected, but are proposed to be specifically tied to new residential development.
On December 16, 2024, this item was reviewed and approved by the Committee of the Whole and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The intent of these regulations is to support taxing body expenses related to new residential development.
