Sara Foley writes, "For the past two years, apartment developers have been charged two types of fees aimed at creating park space before they could build. One fee charges them $200 per unit and the other requires them to either donate 1 acre of nearby property for every 200 units they build or pay the city a fee based on how much 1 acre of nearby land would cost."
A proposal goes before the Planning Commission and City Council next week to cap the fees at $62,500 per acre.
