Resolution 2011-082 Clarifying the Basis for the Setting of Development Review and Building Permit Fees. (staff: Ann Turnquist, Steve Dush; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) At the June 14, 2011, Work Session, Council discussed a proposed change to the City's cost recovery philosophy for Building Permit and Plan Check Fees and an increase to these fees. Council directed staff to conduct outreach to affected boards and interests, and bring the issue back to Council for formal consideration. This proposal is consistent with the City's practice of ensuring that new development pays for the development related service costs. It represents a change of philosophy to move from a goal of collecting 80% of the cost of the entire Development Review Center through fees, toward recovering 100% of the cost of Fee -Related Services though Building Permit and Plan Check Fees. This approach would result in an increase of 0.5% to 6.5% in Building Permit and Plan Check fees, and yield an additional $714,098 in fee revenue to support the Development Review Center. Fee increases would be implemented January 1, 2012.
