SECTION 9 APPENDIX – AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
Offset in applicable development related fees for affordable housing developments
(Resolution No. 2023-07)
Land Use Permits: An applicant with a project that integrates designated affordable housing units (in
compliance with BIMC 18.21.020) as described below may request that the City’s Affordable Housing Fund
(AHF) pay a portion of the fee(s) for applicable land use permits, e.g., Site Plan and Design Review, Long
Subdivision, and/or Conditional Use Permit.
For projects that will provide affordable units to those income-qualified households at or
below 80% AMI (low income of below)
• Providing between 25-50% designated affordable housing units: eligible for AHF monies for 10% of land use
permit fee(s).*
• Providing between 51-75% designated affordable housing units: eligible for AHF monies for 25% of land use
permit fee(s).*
• Providing between 76-99% designated affordable housing units: eligible for AHF monies for 50% of land use
permit fee(s).*
• Providing 100% designated affordable housing units: eligible for AHF monies for 100% of land use permit
fee(s).
* These tiers of land use permit fee reduction not be available to public agencies or for-
profit developers. Only private, nonprofit affordable housing developers would be eligible
for the lower three tiers of fee reduction.
Building Permit and Utility Fees (see Section 11): A private, nonprofit housing development applicant with a
project that is building 4 or more units that are 100% designated affordable housing units at or below 80%
AMI (in compliance with BIMC 18.21.020) is eligible for a City fee contribution up to $30,000 towards
building permit and utility fees.
An applicant can submit a request(s) for assistance from the AHF to the Director of Planning and
Community Development. The request will be reviewed and approved by the City Manager. See BIMC
Chapter 18.21 and 18.36.030 for specifics on affordable housing income levels.
Project changes before permit issuance
Whenever an application that has received assistance from the AHF is changed during development review
in a way that decreases the number of affordable units or the level of affordability on which the assistance
was based, the amount of the AHF assistance shall be recalculated and the applicant shall be required to pay
the difference, if any, between the assistance originally granted and the assistance for which the revised
Exhibit A – Resolution No. 2023-10
City of Bainbridge Island Fee Schedule
25
project would have been eligible. This amount shall be paid to the city by the applicant prior to issuance of
the permit for which the assistance was received.
Project changes after initial permit issuance
BIMC 18.21.020.C requires that owners of property on which affordable housing will be built must provide
the city with a duly executed covenant running with the land, binding all the assigns, heirs, and successors of
the owner of the affected parcels, in a form approved by the city attorney, identifying the affordable units
or parcels and acknowledging the owner’s obligations regarding affordability, prior to final approval of any
permit. Whenever a project that has received an initial permit utilizing AHF assistance is subsequently
changed to decrease the affordable units or the level of affordability on which the AHF assistance was
based, the amount of the AHF assistance shall be recalculated and the applicant for any subsequent permit
or any amendment of the covenant shall be required to pay the difference, if any, between the assistance
originally granted and the assistance for which the revised project would have been eligible. This amount
shall be paid to the city prior to the issuance of any subsequent permit and prior to any city approval of
amendment to the covenant required by BIMC 18.21.020.C.
Withdrawal of application
Whenever an application that has received assistance from the AHF is withdrawn prior to issuance of
the permit, any allowable refund shall, after payment of permit processing costs incurred by the city, be
applied first to reimburse the AHF for the assistance provided with the application fee. Once the city’s
permit processing costs are paid and the AHF is fully reimbursed, any refund amount remaining shall be
returned to the applicant.
