30.66A.010 Purpose and applicability.
(1) The purpose of this chapter is:
(a) To ensure that adequate park land and park facilities are available to serve new growth and development as defined in SCC 30.91D.200;
(b) To require that new growth and development pay its proportionate share of the costs of new park land and park facilities identified in the capital facilities plan element of the comprehensive plan that are reasonably related to the new development;
(c) To ensure that impact fees are imposed through established procedures and criteria so that specific developments do not pay arbitrary or duplicative fees for the same impact; and
(d) To implement the policies established in the Snohomish County comprehensive plan.
(2) This chapter shall apply to all development, except for development that was subject to a prior SEPA threshold determination that provided for mitigation under chapter 30.66A SCC as codified prior to March 11, 2005. An applicant subject to a SEPA based mitigation fee imposed under a prior version of this chapter may consent in writing to the application of this chapter and imposition of the then current GMA based impact mitigation fee in lieu of the prior SEPA based impact mitigation fee.
