FORMAT: Resolution SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Earlier this year, it was announced that the 2019 Home Show Expo will be located within the City of Waukee within the Reserve at Daybreak Plat 1 development. The developer has requested that the City Council consider a waiver related to building permit costs for those homes that will be included in the Home Show Expo. The developer is expecting a minimum of six homes and a maximum of ten homes that will be featured within the show. The proposed request is consistent with prior requests that were made and granted by the City of Waukee for the 2004 Home Show Expo and the 2011 Hubbell Green Living Home Show. The proposed waiver would only apply to the building permit fees. All connection fees and meter fees would still be required to be paid. It is staff’s position that the proposed Home Show Expo will benefit the City of Waukee by virtue of the promotion of the Waukee community, related traffic in the City which will benefit commercial and development sites as well as advertising and event promotion which will promote the benefits and opportunities offered within Waukee. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: $25,000. It is estimated that the value of the building permit waiver is approximately $2,500 with a total number of ten waivers provided. COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend approval of the resolution. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution. ATTACHMENTS: I.
