AGENDA MEMORANDUM

MEETING DATE:   September 8, 2008

FROM:                       Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director

SUBJECT:                  Resolution to Amend Planning and Zoning Fees to Include a Filing Fee for the License Agreements and for the new SPUD (Small Planned Unit Development) District

Staff Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of the amendments to the 2008 Amended Fees, adopted by Resolution No. 8114, and amended by Resolution No. 8216, to include a fee for License Agreements and for the new SPUD (Small Planned Unit Development) District.

Analysis

Since the adoption of the 2008 Amended Fees, staff has determined that an additional fee for license agreements used for such activities as side walk cafes and a new revised fee for SPUD’s need to be incorporated in the adopted fee schedule. A proposed fee of $7.00 sq, ft./minimum $100 is recommended for License Agreements and a fee of $1,200 is recommended for SPUD’s with a fee of $850 for SPUD amendments. These recommended fees are comparable to the existing fees established under the current adopted fee schedule.

Options         

1.         Approve the Resolution for the amendment to the 2008 Amended Fees;  or

2.         Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.

Fiscal Impact

Approval of the amendments to the 2008 Amended Fees schedule to include the referenced fees will allow the City to recover the associated costs for processing these activities.
