BACKGROUND: At the February 2, 1999 meeting, City Council adopted Resolution 99 -1578 establishing new procedures for the review and processing of General Plan Amendment Pre - screening applications. The Council resolution also required that fees established for this new process should be subject to full cost accounting practices of the City. Council directed staff to prepare appropriate notice, staff report and resolution for consideration of adoption of a fee at the meeting of April 21, 1999. DISCUSSION: California Government Code Section 66014 permits cities to establish fees for development project reviews or applications. This code requires that the fee proposal be discussed at a public meeting, with interested parties provided an opportunity to comment. After such public discussion, the legislative body may adopt the recommended fee by ordinance or resolution. State law limits the effective date of any new or changed fees for the processing of development projects to no sooner than 60 days following final action on the adoption of the new fee. Only one fee change is being proposed at this time, involving the addition of a new fee for the recently adopted General Plan Pre - screening application procedure. Based upon the criteria for the processing of these applications, more definitive formal information is required, two public hearings will be required, M:\ JLibiez\ M \feeamndmntstaffreport42199.doc ^ r ()0&Z,0 City Council Agenda Report General Plan Pre - screening Application Fees April 21, 1999 Page 2 public notice will be required, and considerable staff time will be required to process, schedule, review and analyze these pre- screening applications. Based on this heightened analysis, staff is recommending that the fee be a deposit fee and that these applications be subject to full cost recovery from the applicants. It is estimated that at least twenty hours of staff time will be required, on an average, to process these applications. The current charge rate for Community Development Staff is $88.00 per hour (effective 2/2/99). Therefore the recommended deposit fee is $1760.00 plus $7.50 per acre. Since the proposed fee is a deposit, any unused funds would be returned to the applicant, or with a written request, could be applied to entitlement request on the site of the pre- screening application. STAFF REMMMATION : Adopt Resolution 99- establishing revised land use deposit fees and rescinding Resolution No. 98 -1551. Attachment: A.
