BACKGROUND:
This is a request to adopt the City of Coconut Creek Impact Fee Study, dated September 30, 2024, and amend the City's Land Development Code to update the Fire- Rescue and Law Enforcement Impact Fees and to create a new impact fee for Parks and Recreation Facilities.
The City of Coconut Creek manages a development impact fee program to ensure that new developments contribute their fair share of the costs to fund capital improvements necessary to maintain adequate levels of service, consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Florida Law.
The City's consultant, Benesch, Inc. (formerly known as Tindale & Oliver, Inc.), was tasked with preparing an impact fee study to evaluate and recommend revisions to the City's current fire/rescue and police impact fees, and parks and recreation dedication requirements for residential developments. Because of the complexity of the issue and the required timeliness of the data, the City initiated an updated analysis during the summer of 2024.
