Maple Valley Council adopts scaled residential park impact fee of $5,050.90

Maple Valley — The City Council voted 6-0 on Feb. 10 to implement a scaled residential Park Impact Fee of $5,050.90, adopt a nonresidential park impact fee schedule and direct staff to conduct periodic updates to the Park Impact Fee rate study.

Parks & Recreation Director and Assistant City Manager Dave Johnson opened the discussion and Project Manager Jennifer Fink presented findings from the FCS Group Park Impact Rate Fee Study, which the Council used as the basis for the rates. The minutes state the Council approved the residential fee amount and a nonresidential schedule, and agreed to routine rate-study updates.

Council discussion and the recorded vote indicate unanimous support; the minutes list the outcome as "Motion carried, 6-0." The minutes do not specify a mover or seconder for the final adoption motion. The minutes also do not specify implementation timing, exemptions, or how the fee revenue will be allocated; those details were not included in the record and are not reported here.

The vote completes the current rate-setting step; staff will present any implementation timeline and administrative details at a future meeting as required.
