A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO.
2016-3505 REGARDING PERMIT APPLICATION REVIEW AND
PROCESSING FEES AND DEPOSITS BY RESTORING
SECTIONS THAT WERE UNINTENTIONALLY OMITTED, AND
FINDING THIS ACTION EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City of Moorpark provides permit application review and
processing services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the cost of these services shall
be fully offset by fees which accompany permit requests; and
WHEREAS, these fees are reviewed periodically to determine if any adjustments
are necessary to reflect actual processing costs; and
WHEREAS, on May 18, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2016-
3505, updating the fees for permit application review and processing by adding a fee
waiver for Business Registration and Home Occupation Permits issued to persons
under the age of 18 and with an annual gross income of less than ten thousand dollars,
and rescinding the previous fee resolution (Resolution No. 2015-3436); and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2016-3505 unintentionally omitted longstanding
sections that provided clarifying language on cost recovery for staff and contract
services and authorized a deposit reduction for projects with multiple permits being
processed concurrently; and
WHEREAS, restoration of these sections does not involve new or increased
costs for services that would require a public hearing as required by Sections 6062a,
66016, and 66018 of the Government Code; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has determined that the
amendment of Resolution No. 2016-3505 to restore unintentionally omitted sections that
provided clarifying language on cost recovery for staff and contract services and
authorized a deposit reduction for projects with multiple permits being processed
concurrently is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), in that the action of the City Council does not involve the consideration of the
approval of a project.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council concurs
with the Community Development Director's determination that the amendment of
Resolution No. 2016-3505 to restore unintentionally omitted sections that provided
clarifying language on cost recovery for staff and contract services and authorized a
deposit reduction for projects with multiple permits being processed concurrently is
exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in that
the action of the City Council does not involve the consideration of the approval of a
project.
SECTION 2. Section 2 of Resolution No. 2016-3505 is amended by adding the
following:
"COST RECOVERY: City of Moorpark staff shall bill actual time spent on land use
applications and other items eligible for cost recovery where a deposit is required at a
real time cost accounting rate as established by City Council Resolution No. 2015-3383
as may be amended from time to time. Additional deposits will be required when staff
time charges are projected to exceed the deposit balance. Any remaining deposit
amount left from entitlement processing shall be applied to condition compliance. Upon
certificate of occupancy or final building permit, when all permit review and processing
has been completed, any remaining condition compliance deposit shall be returned after
all costs are deducted for final processing.
COSTS FOR CONTRACT SERVICES: Contract services shall be billed at cost, plus
fifteen percent (15%), including, but not limited to, City Attorney; geotechnical/geological
services, traffic engineer services, landscape architect review and inspection services;
lighting engineer review and inspection services and planning consultant services.
REDUCTION OF DEPOSITS FOR PROJECTS WITH MULTIPLE PERMITS: The
Community Development Director has the authority to reduce deposit amounts up to
fifty percent (50%) per entitlement application, where the project involves multiple
applications for the same project on the same property, to be processed concurrently.
The applicant retains the responsibility to pay for all costs associated with the
processing of the applications at the adopted billing rates."
SECTION 3. EFFECTIVE DATE: This Resolution shall become effective
immediately.
