WHEREAS, the City of Molalla has adopted a Development Ordinance and a Comprehensive Plan for the safe, efficient, structured growth and modernization of the City; and

WHEREAS, the City of Molalla Development Code and Comprehensive Plan dictate: what, when, where, and how land within the City may developed; and

WHEREAS, development related inquiries are inherently complex; and

WHEREAS, some development speculators require official letters that require special attention and result in some risk; and

WHEREAS, the benefit of development is primarily born by the individual developer, thus the costs associate with it should also be born by the individual developer; and

WHEREAS, the taxpayers of Molalla should not have to foot the bill for development speculation that is not their own.

Now, Therefore, the City of Molalla resolves as follows:

Section 1.    The City Council approves a $75 Land Use and Zoning Letter fee to be added to the City’s fee schedule.

Duly adopted by Molalla City Council the 13th day of January 2021.
