Development fee deferral program
Summary
The council's new program lets builders put off paying city impact fees until a project is done and occupied, easing upfront construction loan costs. Nothing is waived — the city collects everything, plus interest on commercial projects — and the goal is more housing and commercial development citywide.

Impact analysis
The city delays its fee collections by two to three years and forgoes investment earnings unless commercial interest charges recoup them.
Developers and homebuilders get lower upfront costs, which the city hopes translates into more housing and jobs for residents.
The city waits longer for fee money that funds schools, parks, and roads tied to new growth.
