SITE PLANNING FEES

Sec. 1. [Generally.]

Site planning fees are divided into four (4) categories. These four (4) areas are site plan review, environmental review and permits, subdivision and property division review, and miscellaneous fees. These four (4) areas are further defined by the following:

• Site plan review fees. Site plan review fees are generally based on the proposed land use and acreage of the site under the development proposal. Additional development fees may be added to the development project if the property is encumbered by conditional zoning, environmentally sensitive lands impacts, and/or planned residential development (PRD). Generally, all site plan review fees are calculated with a base fee plus a quantity charge (acreage, square footage, dwelling units, etc.). Site Inspection costs are recovered along with building permit fees at the time the building permit is issued.

• Environmental plan review and permit fees. Environmental [plan] review fees are based on flat fees and/or a per sheet basis. Inspection permits are based on land area under consideration.

• Subdivision and property division review fees. Subdivision [and property division] review fees are based on a base fee and the number of lots proposed for division. Additional development fees may be added to the development project if the property is encumbered by conditional zoning, community interest, significant infrastructure impacts, and/or development phasing.

• Miscellaneous fees. Miscellaneous fees are those fees that do not fall under any other site, environmental, or subdivision and property division activities.

SIGN FEES

Sec. 56. [Generally.]

Sign fees are divided into three (3) categories. These three (3) areas include sign plan review, permits/ inspections, and miscellaneous fees. These three (3) areas are further defined by the following:

• Sign plan review fees. Sign plan review fees are based on the typical staff effort (time) to review sign applications for permits. The schedule includes plan review options including design review for additional height and area of a proposed sign, a comprehensive sign plan, as well as procedures for variance to sign code and use permit approvals.

• Sign permit fees/inspections. Sign inspections are financed by sign permits. Permit fees for signs are based on the typical staff effort (time) for travel and site visit. Fees are adjusted accordingly based on applications for wall mounted signs, ground (monument) signs or billboards due to the variation in inspection complexity. An electric component inspection fee is charged to applications which do not include a UL listing and warrant staff review of electrical components of the sign.

• Miscellaneous fees. Miscellaneous fees are those fees that do not fall under any other sign activities.

Civil engineering fees are divided into three (3) categories. These three (3) areas are abandonment of right-of-way reviews and hearings, on-site and off-site engineering plan review, and on-site and off-site engineering permit issuance. These three (3) areas are further defined by the following:

• Abandonment of right-of-way fees: Abandonment fees are based on the staff work effort to review a proposal to abandon right-of-way for feasibility and preparation for public hearing, if applicable. The abandonment process includes both a formal and an informal method of considering the feasibility of the removal of public right-of-way from city jurisdiction (see fee schedule glossary of terms for definition of formal and informal).

• Engineering plan review fees: Engineering plan review fees are based on the number of sheets submitted for review and approval. Each type of improvement plan (i.e., grading and drainage, public water, public sewer, and right-of-way improvements) is deemed a separate submittal. With the exception of grading and drainage review, engineering plan review typically involves work within the public right-of-way. Sheet sizes are set by a standard scale requirement.

• Engineering permit fees: Engineering permit fees are based on quantity of construction materials or the valuation of the project. Some examples of quantities of construction materials would include length of water pipe, sewer pipe, quantity of soil moved, and quantity of street construction.

• Miscellaneous fees: Miscellaneous fees are those fees that do not fall under any other civil engineering activities.

BUILDING SAFETY FEES

Sec. 171. [Generally.]

Building safety fees are divided into three (3) categories. These three (3) areas include building plan review, permits/inspections, and miscellaneous fees. These areas are further defined by the following:

• Building plans review fees. Plans review fees pay for the review of plans to determine compliance with applicable codes and ordinances. Building plan review fees are based on a percentage of the calculated building permit fee with a minimum charge for each application.

• Building permit fees/inspections. Building inspections are financed by building permit fees. Permit fees for new construction and additions are based on the valuation of the project floor area (square footage). In addition to the basic level of inspection services, additional inspection services are available through prior arrangement with the development services department and with payment of the appropriate fee. These services include overtime inspections, re-inspection, optional (non-required) inspections and requests for time-specific inspections.

• Miscellaneous fees. Miscellaneous fees are those fees that do not fall under any other Building Safety activities.

BUILDING SAFETY PERMIT FEES

Sec. 196. New Construction, Additions and Remodel Existing Building.

Permit fees are based on the valuation (building square footage times standard rate for occupancy) of each building or building addition. For fee calculation purposes, building square footage shall be the total area of all floors under roof and enclosed within the outer surface of the outside enclosing walls or columns. Building square footage includes roofed patios or porches, bay windows, basements, mezzanine and penthouses or other mechanical spaces. Building square footage does not include roof eaves or overhangs not exceeding 3 feet in depth, courts or light shafts open at the top, or unroofed patios or porches. The fees for each separate building shall be separately calculated.

Minimum valuation of the work shall be determined by the Building Official based on nationally recognized standards and shall include the value of materials, labor, overhead, and profit.

EXAMPLE OF A PERMIT FEE CALCULATION:

The following is an example of a permit fee calculation assuming a total project valuation of $250,500:

$77 base fee plus $1,004 on the project valuation = Total permit fee cost of $1,081
