Reynolds Jr., Management Analyst January 31, 1992, (City Council Meeting of February 5, 1992) SUBJECT: Consider Revisions to the City's Land Use Development Fee Resolution Pursuant to Council direction on January 8, 1992, staff is presenting proposed revisions to the City's Land Use Development Fee Resolution, number 91-734. Summary Staff's recommendation is that the Council approve an increase of 3% to the hourly rate, (from $71 per hour to $73 per hour), consider new fee categories as presented by staff January 8, rescind the existing Land Use Development Fee Resolution, and replace it with the revised fee rate and processing schedule as presented in the draft resolution as Exhibit "A." Background On January 8, 1992, staff presented its preliminary proposed revisions to the City's Land Use Development Fees, ("planning fees"). In this proposal, it was shown that the approved method, (or formula), for developing a real time cost accounting of the City's processing costs associated with planning fees was implemented by staff, resulting in a proposed 3% increase in the hourly rate. Staff also described in its January report to Council that consideration was being afforded to the possibility of developing four new fee categories, and a more "user friendly" format for the presentation of the fee schedule to the public. Each new fee that was proposed by staff at that time was summarized for the Council. Discussion The January 8, 1992, staff report has been provided to both the Chamber of Commerce and the Building Industry Association. No feedback was received by staff from either the Chamber of Commerce PAUL W. LAWRASON JR. JOHN E. WOZNIAK SCOTT MONTGOMERY BERNARDO M. PEREZ ROY E. TALLEY JR. Mayor Mayor Pro Tem Councilmember Councilmember Councilmember or the Building Industry Association. The new fees are presented here only in reference to the revised planning fee schedule. New Fees Staff proposed the addition of four new fees to the Land Use Development Fee schedule, ("schedule"): 1) preliminary review fee; 2) initial environmental study review fee; 3) mobile home increase review fee (applicable to cost of living proposals only), and; 4) traffic model use fee. Staff also proposed that the Zoning Code 8111-3.94 regarding penalties for late payments be considered. Referring to the Exhibit "A," Attachment "A," (the "schedule" portion of the proposed resolution), new fees can be located according to the following reference points: 1) Preliminary Review Fee- Permit Number 111," $730; 2) Initial Environmental Review Study- Permit Number 1113. (a)," $730; 3) Mobile Home Rent Increase Reviews, (cost of living increase applications only)- Permit Number 1127," $219; 4) Traffic Model Use Fee- Permit Number 1128," $219. The fee for late payments to the City is located at permit number 1112" on the "schedule." There is no specific amount indicated for this listing, because staff will recover all hours applicable to recovering the deposit amount that the applicant allowed to become delinquent. Pursuant to Zoning Code 8111-3.4.9, the City may withhold final approval of a project for an applicant's failure to pay the City for the costs incurred on the subject application. Format The format of the Land Use Development Processing Fee schedule has been modified to assist the public in reading and evaluating the planning fee system. Deposits and flat fees have been separated, and a summary which distinguishes between the two types of billings is provided in a cover sheet to the "schedule." A "comment" section has been added to the layout, rather than referring to foot notes (contained in previous schedules). For some fees, additional comments have been added to assist the person reading the "schedule" to understand the permit process, (permit number 23, Zone Clearance, has a comment referring the applicant to the Building and Safety office for payment). The entire document has undergone general format revisions intended by staff to make it more "user friendly." k Recommendation That the City Council adopt Resolution 92-`` =`j as presented in Exhibit "A", thereby rescinding Resolution 91-734, to become effective February 5, 1992.
