b. Transportation: Fees were calculated at the Retail rate of $9,400 per 1,000

April 13, 2026, Special City Council Meeting · 2026-04-13 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change of use for a 25,001 square foot retail space. The applicant previously received approval for retail use, but now intends to use the space for restaurant purposes. City staff calculated parking and impact fees based on retail rates, not restaurant rates, indicating the original intent was not for restaurant use. Staff asserts this change requires a new review due to increased demand on public services and parking. The item is currently under review by the City Council. This potential change of use could lead to future construction and renovation work, including site preparation, utility connections, interior build-outs, and final finishes. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, trades, and related fields should monitor this item. Early engagement before final plans and permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
