Be specific and cite RCW or WCC as appropriate. Be clear in explaining the intent of the action.) This proposed ordinance amends the 2017 Unified Fee Schedule by adding a Density Credit fee. The density credit program would allow increased land use intensity under the Zoning Code if a developer contributes funds to the County's Purchase of Development Rights Program. The proposed density credit program only applies to specific areas and uses set forth in the Zoning Code. The density credit program would be entirely voluntary. If a developer chooses not to use the program, they can simply develop as currently allowed by the Zoning Code. COMMITTEE ACTION.
