CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Donald P. Reynolds Jr., Administrative Services Manage
DATE: November 3, 1994, (CC Meeting of November 16, 1994)
SUBJECT: Consider Revisions to the City's Land Use Development
Fees
Pursuant to Council action on November 2, 1994, staff is returning
for the purpose of proposing a 1.3% increase to the City's current
hourly rate applicable to Land Use Development Fees, ( "planning
fees ") of $78 to $79 per hour. Pursuant to Government Code 66016,
the City will include a 60 day waiting period before implementing
the increase, which if adopted by Council November 16, will become
effective January 16, 1995.
Background
The staff report submitted for the meeting of November 2, outlined
the analysis used for arriving at the City's cost per hour for the
Community Development Department and related permit services of
Code Enforcement and Administrative Services. It was explained
that the 1994 cost recovery analysis identifies that when staff
levels decrease and overhead remains stable, the cost per hour may
increase. If staff levels increase and overhead remains stable, the
cost per hour decreases. The impact of the changes has the
following results: the planning rate calculation increased slightly
by 1.3 percent because overhead costs decreased and staffing
remained the same; the code enforcement rate increased by 12
percent due to the decrease in staffing with a stable cost of
overhead, and; the Administrative Services rate decreased by 12
percent due to stable overhead costs and the addition of one staff
position.
Staff's November 2 report also described the need to amend deposit
rates that had not been revised since 1986, for Developer
Agreements involving the City Engineer and City Attorney. Three
new permit types were also proposed, including: a Permit Adjustment
Fee, proposed to be a flat fee of $79 for residential uses and $316
for Commercial and industrial uses; a Director Approved
Administrative Permit as a deposit of $525, and; a Cost Recovery
Fee, with a minimum billing of $79, plus a deposit to be applied on
a case by case estimate.
