CITY OF MOORPARK
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Lillian E. Hare, City Clerk
DATE: September 25, 1995 (CC Meeting of 10/4/95)
SUBJECT: TEMPORARY USE PERMIT FEE WAIVERS POLICY
ITT
At its March 1, 1995 meeting, the City Council directed that staff
establish a policy for Council review which would establish the
procedures by which the City could grant waivers of fees to non-
profit organizations.
The Council has been requested on numerous occasions to waive the
Temporary Use Permit fee for non - profit City of Moorpark based
organizations. The Council has been disposed in past to grant such
fee waivers on a case by case basis.
During the March 1 discussion, where a waiver of the Temporary Use
Permit fee was considered for the Community Christian Church, the
City Attorney explained that in granting waivers of City fees, a
distinction can be made between groups which are community (City of
Moorpark) based and groups which are not.
As a result of the March 1 discussion, the Council direct staff to
write a policy establishing a procedure for waiving Temporary Use
Permit fees by exempting the first event of each City of Moorpark
based non - profit group each year. For example, a Christmas tree
sale which would be for everyday or every weekend within 30
consecutive days would be considered one event; a monthly yard sale
would only be exempt for the first event held within 30 consecutive
days.
In response to Council's direction the attached Moorpark Operating
Procedure (MOP) has been drafted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Moorpark Operating Procedure No. 10 relative to Temporary Use
Permit Fee Waivers.
