MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable City Council
From: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development
Date: January 17, 1991 (City Council Meeting 1-23-91)
Subject: RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION VALUATION

City Treasurer
When the City established its own Building and Safety program it continued the County's practice of assuming
that the cost of residential construction was approximately $45.00 per square foot. It has become apparent that
$45.00 per square foot is an unrealistically low estimate of the value of residential construction that is
typical of this area. Every jurisdiction in Ventura County, including the County itself, has adjusted their
estimate of construction cost to be consistent with nationally published construction data. Other
jurisdictions, value high quality residential construction at about $70.00 per square foot. The result of this
discrepancy is that building permit fees for residential construction in the City of Moorpark are significantly
lower than neighboring jurisdictions. (See Attachment #1).
Discussion
Proposed is the intent to have the Building Official assign valuations for single family residential dwellings
based upon national construction cost data as published by the International Conference of Building Officials.
This would allow the Building Official to use the most recently published data. According to the current
March/April 1991 Building Standards Index the value for high quality residential construction is $71.80.
Therefore, the City's rate would change from it's current rate of $45.00 per square foot to the $71.80 figure.
With the use of the national construction cost data, as produced by I.C.B.O. every two months, small increments
periodically may occur with Council's approval over time and avoid substantial increases in the future.
Government Code Section 54992(a) requires that prior to approving an increase in an existing fee or service
charge, the City must hold at least one public meeting. This section of the Government Code also requires that
information be made available to interested parties. It is staff's intention to request the Council to set
February 6, 1990 as the Public hearing regarding this matter. Staff will also send notice to the Building
Industry Association, chamber of Commerce and those residential developers with tracts currently approved.
Staff Recommendation
That the City Council set February 6, 1991 as a Public hearing date to consider an increase in determining the
value of single family residential construction as it relates to building permit fees.
