MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Directo
DATE: December 4, 2006 (CC Meeting of 12/20/06)
SUBJECT: Consider Waiver of Temporary Use Permit Fees and Building Permit
Fees for Rebuilding of Homes Destroyed in the Shekell Fire
DISCUSSION
After the 2003 fire, the City Council directed staff to provide a report and
recommendation on the waiver of building permit fees to rebuild the destroyed homes,
In that instance there were three home destroyed. Four homes were destroyed in the
recent fire, two homes and two mobilehomes. The mobilehomes were located on a
homesite in anticipation of construction of a new home that has yet to begin
construction. The two homes were located on the La Perch property on the west side of
Spring Road adjacent to the Moorpark Highlands development. The two (2) homes on
the La Perch property could be replaced with a standard "stick" built home or a mobile
or modular home on a permanent foundation. City Code allows for a mobilehome or a
modular home to be used for this purpose when it is placed on a permanent foundation.
Replacement of the homes in the same location would require the removal and
replacement of the existing foundation. The normal process for this kind of
development would involve the approval of an Administrative Permit ($600.00) for the
home and, if security on the site were desired through the location of a temporary trailer
recreation vehicle or mobile home, a Temporary Use Permit ($135.00) would be
required.
For purposes of this report the following assumptions are made:
1. No fees, other than building permit fees, will be assessed.
2. Other agency fees are not covered by any waiver of City fees.
3. Any fees that were not paid at the time of construction of the original
structure will not be assessed for the fire rebuild.
4. Building permit fees that are waived include any required grading permit
fees necessary for the rebuild.
5. Fee waivers are only for replacement of up to the square footage of the
structure prior to the fire.

6. Fee waiver does not include the replacement of accessory structures.
7. All replacement structures shall meet the current building and grading
requirements adopted by the City.

The estimated cost for building permits is based upon the building permits on record at
the City for the subject properties. Should the City Council wish to waive the cost of
building permits for the above - listed fire - rebuilds, the total cost is estimated to be
$1,925.00. Staff would suggest that if the City Council were to grant such a waiver of
building permit fees that the wavier would expire on December 31, 2007; it would apply
only to the current owner. It should be noted that the building permit waiver includes the
waiver of the normal development fees such as police, library, parks, and landscaping.
If Council approves any fee waivers, staff would return with a request for an
appropriation of funds at a later date.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote)
Authorize staff to implement the fee waiver for temporary use permits and
building permits consistent with the report
