Hogan, Communi ty Development Director /e7 Prepared By: Richard A. Diaz, Special Projects Coordinator DATE: May 16, 2007 (CC Meeting of 6/6/2007) SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution to Establish Re-Inspection Fees for Chapter 15.34 of the Moorpark Municipal Code (Rental Housing Inspection) BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION On June 7, 2006, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 337, adding a chapter to the Municipal Code that established an annual inspection program for rental housing to ensure compliance with the city's building, housing, property maintenance, and zoning regulations. On July 19, 2006, the Council adopted a fee resolution (No. 2006-2503) to implement this program. A fee for re-inspections, to determine if corrections noted on the initial inspection had been corrected, was inadvertently omitted from the fee schedule. A re-inspection fee is now proposed beginning with the 3rd re-inspection and for each subsequent re-inspection. It is anticipated that this re-inspection would be less labor intensive and is estimated to take a little less than one-half the time of an initial inspection. Time includes round trip travel time and administrative time as part of the overall hourly rate. The revised fee schedule for rental inspections is proposed as follows (underline text): Type of Rental Initial Rental Re-inspection Fee Rental Authorization Authorization Permit For 3rd Re- Permit Fee Renewal Fee inspection/Subsequent (Annual) Ins ections Single-family House $180.00 60.00 $60.00 Two to Three Units $240.00 90.00 $90.00 Four or More Units* $240.00 + $5.00/unit $90.00 + $5.00/Unit $90.00 Boarding House and Bed $240.00 $90.00 $90.00 and Breakfast Inn Hotel or Motel* $240.00 + $5.00/unit $90.00 + $5.00/Unit $90.00 * Proof of interior inspection by Fire Department required for initial Rental Authorization Permit. The City Attorney has determined that this is not a development fee. \\Mor_pri_sery\City Share\Community Development\DEV PMTS\Z O A\2005\Rental Inspection\Agenda Reports\070620 Re- Inspection Fee Set Hearing.doc 5 Honorable City Council June 6, 2007 Page 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote) Adopt Resolution No. 2007- establishing a rental re-inspection fee.
