Commissioner Mirza asked if the impact fees can be adjusted after receiving public input and after completing the Comprehensive Plan update.
City Engineer Cotter stated that land use assumptions and 10-year capital needs for development will be reviewed for adjustments to the impact fees.

Director of Planning & Development Services Ostrowski stated that it is the intent to have the Comprehensive Plan update completed later this year in time for inclusion in the Impact Fee Study.
