This memo transmits for City Council review and approval, a resolution and supporting
documentation for an increase for FY2024 Planning Services Department fees.
DISCUSSION
As part of FY2024 budget process, the Planning Services Department reviewed the
application fees charged for applications that are processed for the Zoning Advisory
Commission and Zoning Board of Adjustment, Historic Preservation Commission and/or
reviewed by Development Services staff. A detailed analysis was conducted for all
Planning Services Department fees. Planning Services Department fees are based on
the cost to process applications. This involves application intake, staff coordination,
applicant coordination, putting together a staff report along with supporting
documentation, public posting, packet preparation, mailing notices and packets, etc.
With an exception to a few, all fees have increases.
Unified Development Code Chapter 16-3-12 Fees, requires that applications for action
taken under the UDC, shall be submitted along with the required fee, as established by
resolution of the city council.
Attachment A is a list of proposed fees beginning July 1, 2023.
BUDGETIMPACT
Based on assumptions from previous years for the number of applications the Planning
Services Department receives, it is anticipated that the increase in fees would
potentially generate an additional $23,000 in revenue.
RECOMMENDATION
As an approved budget improvement in the adopted FY2024 Budget, Planning Services
staff recommends approval of the attached resolution and supporting documentation for
an increase for FY2024 Planning Services Department fees.
