Development Impact Fee Variance Request

Rockport

Summary

A developer argued the city's new impact fees unfairly hit his Fulton-jurisdiction project mid-stream, since his final plat wasn't filed until after the fee ordinance passed. Council held firm: the ordinance requires a final plat before August 2025, and granting exceptions would set a precedent others would exploit.
