DATE: March 28, 1989
SUBJECT: Land Use Application Fees
Currently, •the City is not recovering the cost of processing land use
application permits as illustrated by this report. Staff has included
background, research discussion, and proposed revisions for the fees
and billing of hourly rates for the processing of land use applications.
BACKGROUND
On July 2, 1983, the City adopted County Code 8163-4.2 and 8220 which
authorized the Community Development Department to collect land use
application processing fees. In 1982, when the County adopted the
above mentioned codes, they also adopted Resolution 222 which
established a fees schedule for• land use applications. This fee
schedule was adopted almost verbatim by City resolution 83-30 on
September 7, 1983. These fee are still in effect. Resolution 83-31 was
also adopted on September 7, 1983 and established a means by which the
Community Development staff shall bill actual time spent on permit
applications at $30.00 per hour.
In August of 1984, the City Manager submitted a report to Council
documenting a need for a $15.00 increase in the real time billing
amount (Attachment A). The Community Development Department cost was
calculated by subtracting holiday and vacation hours as well as
deducting 2 hours per day for "non -chargeable" time, (such as meetings,
breaks and travel). Out of a total possible hours of 2080 per year per
employee, a net time for permit processing was based on 1.452 hours per
employee. From these calculations, a rate of $45.00 per hour was
established by Resolution 84-1.30 on September 5, 1984. 'This rate is
still in effect.

Resolution 84-130 repealed Resolution 83-31 by increasing the rate per
hour, for actual billing costs, and added sections 2 and 3. Section 2
pertains to contract services for application processing adding 10% to
the actual cost of the contract service for administration. Section 3
provides for all revenue exceeding costs to be used to reduce hourly
rates in subsequent years. Resolutions 84-130 and 83-30 are the
current provisions by which the City collects fees for land use
application processing.
nTSrIISSTnN
Current operational costs relating to land use application processing
are exceeding the amount of fees collected by the City. The consumer
price index,(CPI), increase over the last five years provides one
indication of how the City's costs for service have increased.
Consumer Price Index
The consumer price index for the greater Los Angeles area, based on all
consumable items, has increased from 97.1 in 1982, to 122.1 in 1988,
(or 25.48%). It is estimated that 1989 will increase another 4.6%
making a total increase of 30.08% since 1983.
In calculating the impact of the CPI on the hourly rate for Community
Development, staff used the percent increases from 1984-1989. The CPI
ranged from 3.2% in 1986 to 4.6% in 1989. The accrued increase over
the last five years indicates an $11.89 increase will be required to
match the cost of the service. This adjusted rate would equal $56.89
per hour for staff time.
Budget Analysis
Over the past five years, the City has experienced a significant
increase in staff time for permit processing and review of conditions
of approval, overhead and salary costs. There are a number of ways to
analyze billing rates in addition to using CPI increases or updating
the method used in 1984 with current expenditure levels. Another
method is to take the direct salary and benefit costs for the five
positions available for processing (Director of Community Development,
Senior Planners, Associate Planners, and Planning Technician) and then
add department and City overhead factors. Regardless of the method
used it appears that the rate needs to be adjusted to between $57 and
$60+ dollars per hour. Additional information will be provided to the
Council prior to the April 19, 1989 meeting.
The Council should also be aware that AB 3180 places further
requirements on the tracking of environmental conditions. This will
increase the amount of hours spent on approved applications of land
use.

Fee Resolution for Processing Land Development Permit
The fee resolution establishes permit fees based on the cost per hour
averaged for each application. The County has revised Ordinance No.
222 several times since Moorpark adopted this schedule. The last
revision was in 1987, and the total increase from 1982 - 1989 is 28%.
In order to recover the proposed increased hourly rate for staff time,
it is necessary to also adjust the fee schedule.
The 1987 County report represents a compromise between the County and
the Building Industry Association. The Building Industry Association
accepted a 10% across the board increase, and the removal of the 150%
billing limit for some permit applications (Attachment "C").
The hourly rate for the cost of County staff time increased 36%. Staff
is proposing a modest increase in fees of 30% as shown in Attachment
"D". Additionally, staff is proposing that the 150% cap for all
permits applications be removed and that the recovery of administering
contracts be increased from 10% to 15%. Currently staff spends a
significant amount of time on Zone Clearance processing at no cost to
the developer, staff is recommending that the resolution be amended to
include an actual time expended charge not to exceed the original
application fee for this service. As you are probably aware, in
addition to insuring City planning conditions are met, City staff
coordinates and acts as a clearing house for condition compliance with
the City Engineering and other public agencies prior to zone clearance,
occupancy and surety releases. Lastly, the City has no mechanism for
charging for zone maps, therefore staff has added #21 to Resolution
84-130, allowing staff to recover costs for this purpose. These
revisions will allow the City to recover costs incurred in processing
applications for land developments in Moorpark.. As a reminder the
City's contract for City Engineering services provides that they
receive 25% of the fee. This is based on the current fee schedule and
cap of 150% of the original deposit. This will need to be modified to
reflect any change in the current fee schedule.
SUMMARY
Land Development Processing fees have not been revised since adopted by
the City in 1983. Additionally, the hourly rate for real time billing
has not been adjusted since 1984. By analyzing the Consumer Price
Index and the budget allocations for these services staff has justified
increasing the hourly rate as well as the Land Development application
fees. A review of Moorpark's history indicates that the City has been
very lenient in imposing fees, and should increase fees to current
levels, adjust fees no less than every 2 years, and implement the Zone
Clearance processing fee.

Background Information
In the Council' s review of this _ matter last summer, concerns were expressed by
the Building Industry Association representative that an overcharging may occur
11 if more than 1,452-hours per planner are., in fact, billed.
During: the first eight months of this fiscal year our records indicate approximate-
.1y one�third of the available billing hours. were; . in fact; billed on planning
projects_ The reniiai.rider of the available hours have been spent on other duties arx3
assigraments such as rent control, geperal administration, attendance .of meetings,
public information, code enforcement, and.administration.of approved projects_
It should be noted that following the adoption of the budget for Fiscal Year
1985-86, the charge rate will be reviewed and.revised as necessary. This matter
should be before your Council in July. Staff will also be reviewing.the fee
schedules and making recommendations on any changes which appear necessary.
For.further background information, attached is a copy of a memorandum identifying
haw costs were allocated to the.planuiing function to determine the hourly
change rate.

Subject: Proposed Amendments. to Resolution 222 Incorporating Revisions to
the Land Development Permit Processing Fee and Deposit Schedule -
Report Back From July 7, 1987 Agenda
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt changes to Resolution 222. (Exhibit "A"), or provide appropriate
direction to staff.
STATEMENT OF MATTER FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION:
On July 7, 1987, staff recommended certain revisions .to the fee resolution
for processing land development permits. Your Board approved the bulk of
these changes. Also, your Board directed staff to meet with the Building
Industry Association to discuss the recommended change of removing the
150% billing limit for all variable rate permits and, if possible, develop
a different alternative(s).
On August 11, 1987,• staff met with the Building Industry Association,
including Paul Tryon, Executive Director, and Phil Vein. At this meeting,
the Building Industry Association representatives proposed a compromise
position that would remove the 150% billing limit for only the following
permit types: Zoning Changes, Conditional Use Permits, Major
Modifications, Tentative Parcel Maps, Land Conservation Act Cancellations,
and Coastal Residential Planned Development Permits. Additionally, the
representatives recommended an across-the-board 10% increase in all permit
categories, be they deposit or fixed fee.
Staff has analyzed the financial impact of these ,proposals upon the
previous year's unrecovered cost. For that year, it appears that the
selective removal of the 150% billing limit would have resulted in the
recovery of approximately $66,000 of last year's $88,000 unrecovered
cost. The 10% increase would have had a minimal impact. Additionally,
the industry representatives recommended that, if adopted, the impacts of
these changes on the fiscal situation be reviewed at the end of one year
for other possible recommendations and changes.
Staff has amended the existing Resolution 222 to incorporate the BIA
recommendations should your Board determine that is an acceptable proposal
(see Exhibit "A"). If adopted, it would take effect in sixty (60) days.
Should your Board determine that total cost recovery is more appropriate,
staff would return within two weeks with another amendment to Resolution
222, incorporating the original concept of the across-the-board removal of
the billing limit.

1. Pre -submittal Review Fee: A pre -submittal review application deposit fee may
be required (see ItemNo. 10 on page 3). Under this mechanism, final costs
of conducting a pre -submittal review process will be computed upon actual
time expended by all County staff, without a billing limit. Should final
costs be less than the deposit amount, a refund or credit is issued to the
applicant. Should final costs exceed the deposit fee, the applicant is
billed for the balance.
2. Nonrefundable Fee: A nonrefundable fee is a one time fee of a specified
amount (flat fee), which is intended to cover the average cost of processing
that type of permit or administrative action. Once submitted, a flat fee
cannot be refunded should an application be withdrawn. Also, no additional
charges will be billed by the County should the cost of processing exceed
the specified amount.
3. Deposit With Billing Limit: Under this charging mechanism, final cost of
processing is computed upon actual time expended by all County staff (based
upon the hourly rates established to recover costs), but not to exceed the
deposit plus 50%. Should final costs not exceed the deposit fee, the unused
Portion is refunded to the applicant. Should final costs exceed the deposit
fee, the zpplicart is billed for the balance up to the 50b above the initial
deposit. All deposit fees will have this billing limitation unless
otherwise noted.
4. Deposit Without Billing Limit: Same as 3, except applicant will be billed
for total balance that exceeds deposit.
Uses Not Listed
.'here a proposed land use or application is not clearly identified in this
Schedule, the Planning Director shall review the characteristics of the proposed
use or requested service, and determine which of the uses listed in this Schedule
is equivalent to that proposed. Said use or application shall then use that
charging type for a filing fee or deposit.
BILLING PROCEDURE
Who Reviews Entitlement Applications?
The following agencies and departments are normally involved in the review of
land development. entitlements. Public Works Agency, Environmental Health
Division, Air Pollution Control District, Fire Department, Sheriff's Department
and Planning Division.
When Are Fees/Deposits Du
The Ventura County Ordinance Code requires that applications cannot be accepted
for processing unless they are accompanied by the fees/deposits specified in this
schedule.
Standard Billing
Reviewing agencies and departments are required 'to maintain time -keeping records
during the processing of entitlements. Once a decision is rendered regarding the
entitlement or the application is withdrawn or closed out prior to a decision,
the case is closed and total processing. costs are calculated by the
Administrative Services Division within the Resource Management Agency (RMA). If
costs exceed the deposit, Administrative Services will bill, the applicant for
these costs up to the billing limit, if applicable. If total costs are less than
the deposit, a refund will be issued.
Incremental Billing
Processing costs related. to. large or complex projects; i.e., General Plan
Amendments, natural resource developments and environmental impact reports,
generally exceed the fee..deposit. Due to the nature of these projects,. total
costs could be considerable. Incremental billing eliminates the burden of a
large balance due at the end of processing a case.
The applicant may request, of the County may require, that incremental billing be
initiated for a particular project. Following the initial 30�day -review period
of an application, reviewing agencies and departments will submit time -keeping
records to RMA Administrative Services. Those*agencies or departments that
continue to process the' application will submit monthly time sheets until a
decision is rendered regarding the entitlement, or until the entitlement is
withdrawn or closed out.
Administrative Services will monitor total charges on a monthly basis. If prior
to a decision on a case, the costs exceed the deposit,. a bill will be sent to the
applicant for the current monthly balance until the project is completed.
Charges are due and payable within 30 days of billing.
If billed fees and charges are not paid within 30 days of billing, a penalty
charge of 5% of the unpaid balance will be added to the balance due. Each month
thereafter, an interest charge of 2% of the unpaid balance will be added and
compounded until the bill is paid in full.
If, in the course of processing an application, the applicable billed fees and
charges have not been paid, the County may, after a hearing, DENY such
application based on the applicant's failure to pay said fees -and charges.
