ORDINANCE NO. O-2025-

AN ORDINANCE REPEALING, IN PERTINENT PART, THE DURANGO CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 8 - FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION - ARTICLE V - DURANGO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT IMPACT FEES AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE

(Red type indicates addition of text, strike through indicates original text removed, empty brackets [] indicate omitted and unchanged text)

Sec. 8-71. - Impact fee adopted.

The city hereby adopts the Durango Fire Protection Impact Fee (DFPD impact fee), subject to the terms, conditions and limitations further set forth herein. The adoption of the DFPD impact fee is based on evidence provided by the DFPD Impact Fee Study which quantifies the reasonable impacts of new development and proposes a fee no greater than necessary to defray the costs of providing funding for future capital improvements needed by DFPD to adequately provide fire and emergency services to new growth and development in areas within the jurisdiction of the city, and which is not imposed to remedy any deficiency in capital facilities that exist without regard to any such proposed development.

Sec. 8-72. - Amount of fee.

The DFPD impact fee shall be set at the following amounts:

(a) For residential development, the DFPD impact fee shall be one thousand three hundred seventeen dollars ($1,317.00) per unit.
(b) For commercial or other non-residential development, the DFPD impact fee shall be two dollars and three cents ($2.32) per square foot of enclosed floor area.
(c) In cases where a residential use of property is approved to be converted to a non-residential use, then the DFPD impact fee shall be the amount of the commercial impact fee for the new commercial use, less a credit in the amount of the residential impact fee.

Sec. 8-73. - Applicability.

The DFPD impact fee shall apply to any new residential or commercial development that requires the issuance of a building permit by the City under any City Code, regulation, resolution or agreement, except no fee shall be applicable to the following:

(a) Any development for which a building permit application was submitted and accepted as being complete by the city prior to the effective date of this article.
(b) The remodel, replacement or enlargement of any residential unit.
(c) The remodel or replacement of any non-residential property that does not result in an increase in square footage. In the event there is an increase in square footage of any non-residential property, then the impact fee shall apply only to that increase in square footage.
(d) Any development that has paid a fire impact fee pursuant to a development agreement or other contract, including, but not limited to, development within Three Springs and Twin Buttes as long as the existing fire impact fees are in effect.
(e) For the development of an accessory dwelling unit as defined in the city's Land Use Code.
(f) For development that will provide low or moderate income housing or affordable employee housing pursuant to guidelines established by the City.
(g) For any development that is otherwise required by agreement to provide any site specific dedication or improvement to meet the same need for capital facilities for which the DFPD impact fee is imposed. The value of any such dedication shall be treated as a credit against any fee otherwise due in an amount not to exceed the DFPD impact fee for that development.

Sec. 8-74. - Collection of fee.

(a) The DFPD impact fee due under the provisions of this chapter shall be paid in full prior to the issuance of a city building permit for that development.
(b) The payment of the DFPD impact fee shall be made by the person seeking a city building permit directly to DFPD, and DFPD shall provide a receipt to that person for such payment. The city shall be entitled to rely on a written receipt from DFPD as evidence of payment of all fees.
(c) In the event a building permit is issued for a development that has not paid the DFPD impact fee, then the payment of such fee shall be made as soon as possible after notice of the deficiency. The city shall be entitled to issue stop work orders or to withhold any further approvals for the development, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy until all fees are paid.
(d) It shall be the obligation of DFPD to collect, account for and apply the DFPD impact fees provided for herein as required by state law, the City Code and the IGA entered between the parties pursuant to this article.

WHEREAS, the City of Durango previously adopted Article V of Chapter 8 of the Durango Code to impose fire impact fees on behalf of the Durango Fire Protection District ("DFPD") for the purpose of funding fire and emergency services necessitated by new development, as originally authorized by C.R.S. § 29-20-104.5; and

WHEREAS, the City of Durango is excluded from the jurisdictional boundaries of the DFPD, as established by the “Petition for Exclusion” referenced in the 2014 agreement between the City and the DFPD; and

WHEREAS, because of this exclusion, the City retains full authority under state law to impose or negotiate fire impact fees within its municipal boundaries; however, Senate Bill 24-194 (SB-194), enacted in 2024, authorizes fire protection districts to independently impose and collect fire impact fees for new development within their jurisdiction, pursuant to a legislatively adopted fee schedule; and

WHEREAS, under SB-194, the DFPD is now empowered to directly impose and collect its own impact fees within its jurisdiction, allowing for a simplified and district-driven approach to funding fire and emergency services in areas it serves; and

WHEREAS, while the City retains the authority to negotiate or impose fire impact fees within its jurisdiction, the City Council finds that the continued inclusion of Article V of Chapter 8 is no longer necessary at this time and that its repeal will reduce administrative redundancy and promote clarity.

NOW THEREFORE THE CITY OF DURANGO HEREBY ORDAINS THAT THE DURANGO CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 8 – FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION – ARTICLE V – DURANGO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT IMPACT FEES, BE AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

Chapter 8 - FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION

ARTICLE V. - DURANGO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT FIRE IMPACT FEES - Reserved.

This ordinance shall become effective ten (10) days after its passage and final publication as provided by law.
