RESOLUTION NO. 2020-04
A RESOLUTION of the City of Bainbridge Island, Washington,
amending the City’s fee schedule to add a new fee for the new
Temporary Construction Staging permit as established in Ordinance
No. 2020-03 and to add a deposit for third party review of
environmental reports and documents.
WHEREAS, on July 14, 2020, the City Council discussed a related measure, Ordinance
No. 2020-03 that, among other changes, adds a new land use, Temporary Construction Staging,
including BIMC 18.09.030.J.2., which establishes use specific standards to the new temporary
construction staging permit; and
WHEREAS, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 2020-03 on July 28, 2020, and a
fee is needed for the new temporary construction staging permit, and the City has determined that
this new permit will require a similar amount of staff time and analysis as an existing permit, the
“temporary parking lot permit,” which is similar in kind to this new permit; and
WHEREAS, the City’s fee schedule needs to be updated to reflect a fee for the new
temporary construction staging permit; and
WHEREAS, BIMC 1.28.020.A.1. requires applicants to reimburse the City for all costs
(plus 10 percent for administration) paid to engineers or consultants (including third party
reviewers) that the City determines are necessary for processing applicable applications or
performing any reviews or inspections in connection with such an application; and
WHEREAS, BIMC 2.16.020.K. requires, with limited exceptions, applicants to pay fees
and charges established by ordinance or resolution before a land use permit or approval is issued;
and
WHEREAS, the City is establishing through this resolution a deposit related to
occurrences in which third party review is necessary for environmental reports and documents to
ensure applicants pay for these services.

ISLAND, WASHINGTON, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
