INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits for City Council review and approval, a resolution and supporting
documentation for a 4% increase for FY2022 Planning Services Department fees.
DISCUSSION
As part of FY2022 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, and/or reviewed by Development
Services staff.
Attachment A is a comparison of the City of Dubuque's Development Services fees (4%
increase) with similar fees charged by ten other large cities in Iowa. Dubuque's fees
remain competitive with the other large cities and to the average. The highest base fees
charged for each type of application are highlighted in yellow.
In addition, 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.
BUDGETIMPACT
With 4% fee increase, the expected annual revenue from Development Services fees
would increase by approximately $1,895.
RECOMMENDATION
As an approved budget improvement in the adopted FY2022 Budget, Planning Services
staff recommends approval of the attached resolution and supporting documentation for
a 4% increase for FY2022 Planning Services Department fees.
