Public Amenities/lnfrastructure
A bonus density would be established for providing public amenities/infrastructure beyond those
required for SEPA mitigation. Separate cost equivalents (e.g., 1200 sq. ft. of commercial and
residential development) would be established. In order to utilize this bonus provision, the
developer would pay the cost equivalent of the additional development. For example, assume the
cost equivalent of commercial development is $6,000 for 1200 sq. ft. An additional 4800 sq. ft of
commercial development would require a contribution of $24,000 toward identified public
amenities/infrastructure. Funds derived from such bonus density purchase would be used
exclusively in the MUTC/HSI/HSII districts and would be used on projects identified in the Six
Year Capital Improvement Program. Up to 40% of the maximum available bonus density may
use the public amenities/infrastructure provision. The remainder of the bonus density would come
from one or more of the other bonus options. The bonus could also be achieved by the
construction of public amenities/infrastructure identified in the Master Plan and not required to
mitigate the impacts of development, including (a) mid-block pedestrian connections identified in
the Master Plan where public right-of-way does not exist, (2) pocket parks of approximately
10,000 sq. ~. dedicated for public use, located in or in the immediate vicinity of locations
identified in the Open Space Plan of the Master Plan.
