In December 2015 Council approved updating the Planning Services fee schedule for site plan review and establishing a contracted service fee for stormwater and site engineering service which fees help to offset the staff cost of administering the site plan review process that all new development receives in the city. Staff is now proposing to update the balance of the fee schedule for items requiring administrative land use permits that requires staff time and/or materials. Fees are not significantly changing, relative to their pre 2006 levels, and are generally being adjusted to reflect changes in operating and overhead costs but are still not at 100% cost recovery. ANALYSIS The Planning Services Division charges several fees generally related to permit issuance (closely related to the Inspections Division) and administering items going through the Plan Commission or Board of Appeals. The fees are meant to offset some of the overhead costs associated with providing the services such as issuing various land use and development permits (e.g. new buildings, additions, signs, etc.) and following up on inspections for the various permits. In addition to some minor new fees and overall adjustments, for 2016 two significant new fees are being proposed. One is a $3,000 new tower and antenna collocation fee and the other is a triple permit fee for work commenced without a permit. The $3,000 tower and antenna fee was permitted by statute when the legislature changed the laws (as part of a budget bill and not general legislation) governing what local municipalities could do to regulate these items. Essentially, the legislature preempted a municipality from regulating these items and in return for the preemption allowed municipalities to charge the $3,000 fee to make up for the lost home rule ability. The other new fee (for Planning) is a triple permit fee for work commencing without a permit and is the same that the Inspections Division is charging for building work commencing without a permit. The fee is intended to cut down on this activity as it often creates additional work because it is not unusual for the work to have been done in violation of a particular zoning provision often requiring other additional corrective measures such as ordering the item removed or issuing citations and court action or going to the Board of Appeals or Plan Commission. Oftentimes persons commencing work without a permit do so with the knowledge that a permit is required but are doing so in hopes of not getting caught and if they do get caught knowing that they will just pay the standard fee. This philosophy while uncommon is unfair for all those persons that go through the upfront process obtaining a permit ahead of the work starting. Other new fees include a notification and/or publication fee for some items going before the Plan Commission and Board of Appeals and a Historic Tax Credit research fee to be charged on an hourly basis versus a flat fee which is the most common fee on the schedule. The temporary use permit fee has not changed since 2006 and that has been at $75 for up to 90 days. A new three tiered system is being proposed ranging from $75-$125 depending on the time period requested and for the first time a "quantity discount" for up to 4 separate sites is being proposed that reduces the additional fee by 50% per site (maximum of 4 sites) if the permits are all obtained at one time. The sign category has expanded to reflect the various categories of signs that are put up and each may require a different level of review depending on type and location. FISCAL IMPACT For the 2016 budget, Planning Services was anticipating revenue of$69,900. By updating the fees as proposed it anticipated an additional $3,500 of revenue will be added if no tower permits are issued. Tower permits are issued very sporadically so projecting them as revenue cannot be counted on in any given year. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving the fees as proposed.
