SUBJECT:
Resolution No. 15-R11 - Proposed Planning Department Fee Schedule
SUMMARY:
On March 2, the City Commission adopted Ordinance 15-004, which revised Section 22-40, the Planned Development Zoning District. With that in mind, the Planning Department reviewed the fees associated with the Planned Development review process to ensure it reflected the change in processing of applications.
During the Fee Schedule review staff also discovered a handful of items that needed a cost revision or a format change to make for easier utilization.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Commission approve the proposed changes to Resolution #15-R11 as presented.

None

OTHER INFORMATION:
Because of revisions and streamlining to the PD (Section 22-40) Application process, it is recommended to reduce the two-part fee structure to a one-part fee structure, from a previous total of $6,360 (+$40 per acre) to a recommended total of $3,960 (+$40 per acre). While is appears to be an initial financial loss to the City, staff anticipates that it will actually be an incentive to a developer to utilize this newly revised Zoning Designation within the City. The former PUD designation has not been utilized for at least a decade.
In addition, staff recommends increasing the Conditional Use applications from $100 and $250 to a straight $500, due to the obsoleteness of the previous fee. Conditional Use applications have been a frequent application of late, and utilizes a significant amount of Planning Staff time and resources, regardless of new construction or not.
It is also recommended, that the Temporary Tent fee of $100 be eliminated from the Planning Department Fee Schedule as the Building Department currently assesses a fee for this use.
Finally, Staff is recommending the Annexation Agreement fee be waived for 12 months as an incentive for annexation.
