AGENDA MEMORANDUM

MEETING DATE:   November 10, 2008

FROM:                       Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director

SUBJECT:                  Resolution to Amend Planning and Zoning Fees to correct the fee for license agreements from $7.00 sq, ft. to .70 sq, ft. and clarify the term as five years

Staff Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of the amendments to the 2008 Amended Fees, adopted via Resolution No. 8114, as amended by Resolution No. 8216, to correct the fee for license agreements from $7.00 sq, ft. to .70 sq, ft. and clarify the term as five years for License Agreements.

Analysis

Since the adoption of the amended 2008 Amended Fees, staff has determined an error was made in the fee for license agreements used for such activities as side walk cafes. The adopted fee of $7.00 sq, ft. should have been .70 sq, ft., therefore staff recommends the fee be corrected and the term be clarified as five years. This recommended fee is 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.

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.
