HB 1331: Early learning impact fees

Concerning early learning facility impact fees.

Summary

  • Provides that development of an early learning facility qualifies as a development activity with a broad public purpose for potential impact fee exemptions.
  • Allows an early learning facility to be exempted from up to 80 percent of impact fees without the local government being required to pay the impact fees from public funds other than the impact fee account.
  • Allows an early learning facility to be exempted from 100 percent of impact fees without the local government being required to pay the impact fees from public funds other than the impact fee account, if the developer records a covenant requiring that at least 25 percent of the children and families using the early learning facility will qualify for state subsidized child care, and that provides for payment of at least a portion of an applicable impact fee if the covenant is violated or if the facility is converted to another use.
  • Prohibits a local government from imposing an impact fee on an early learning facility development greater than that imposed on a commercial retail or commercial office development that generates a similar number, volume, type, and duration of vehicle trips.
