SUBJECT: FY2025 Planning Services Department — Increased Fees
DATE: April 9, 2024
INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits for City Council review and approval, a resolution and supporting
documentation for an increase for FY2025 Planning Services Department fees.
DISCUSSION
As part of FY2025 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 of 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.
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 bv
resolution of the city council.
Attachment A is a list of proposed fees beginning July 1, 2024.
BUDGET IMPACT
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 $1,380 in revenue.
RECOMMENDATION
As an approved budget improvement in the adopted FY2025 Budget, Planning Services
staff recommends approval of the attached resolution and supporting documentation for
an increase for FY2025 Planning Services Department fees.
