A. Determinations of the director with respect to the applicability of the impact fees imposed by this title to a given development activity, the availability or value of a credit, or the director’s decision concerning the independent fee calculation, or exemptions, or any other determination which the director is authorized to make pursuant to this title, can be appealed to the hearing examiner subject to the procedures set forth in Chapter 2.30 LMC and Chapter 1D of the City of Lacey Development Guidelines and Public Works Standards within fourteen days of the written determination.

B. Any feepayer may pay the impact fees imposed by this title under protest in order to obtain a building permit or certificate of occupancy permit. No appeal submitted under protest shall be permitted unless and until the impact fees have been paid. Alternatively, any feepayer may appeal the impact fees determined by the director without first paying the fees, providing the applicant is willing to postpone issuance of the building permit until after the exhaustion of the appeal process when the final fee is known.

C. Appeals regarding the impact fees imposed on any development shall only be filed by the feepayer of the property where such development activity will occur. (Ord. 1507 §7 (part), 2017).
