Fee
The City of Phoenix hereby gives notice of its intent to amend the Phoenix City Code (PCC), Chapter 15 Fire Prevention Code of the City of Phoenix, Ord. No. G-6854, § 1, 2021 to establish new fees for permitting activities as required in the Phoenix Fire Code. These new permit fees encompass two types:

1. Creation of new fees for solar and battery construction permits by creating two new combination permits and fees to better service our community and customers by reducing the number of permits and fees required for installations comprising of both solar and battery storage at residential locations. Currently the fee schedule requires two separate permits: one for solar and a separate for batteries. This action combines those permits into one permit and results in a slight reduction of the total plan review and permit cost for projects encompassing both systems in one submission.

2. Creation of a fee for a construction permit to allow flammable/combustible fuel dispensers to be installed/modified. Currently there is an existing $300 operational permit required for this activity. This change algins the permit type correctly with construction activities by replacing the current operational permit. As this action will replace the current $300 operational permit fee with a new $300 construction permit, there will be no fee changes to the permitting for these types of activities.

1. Date, time, and place of meeting.
The proposed fees will be considered by the Phoenix City Council on or after March 20, 2024, commencing at 2:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Phoenix City Council Chambers, 200 West Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003.​

Fee
The City of Phoenix hereby gives notice of its intent to standardize fees charged to providers of Network Infrastructure Services, to allow them to engage in the business of operating a fiber-to-the home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the premises (business) to provide fiber-optic broadband access in the City of Phoenix.

Phoenix City Council will consider a new City Code Chapter, 5-D – Network Infrastructure Services that will allow companies to install fiber-optic networks in the City’s rights-of-way (ROW) to provide high-speed internet to residential and business customers. The fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and premises networks may be installed throughout the City and will provide a choice for consumers desiring broadband connections that are as fast, or faster than what is available from the current service providers.

Chapter 5-D includes a provision for a license fee that will compensate the City for the private use of the ROW. The license fee is set at three percent (3%) of gross revenues that a licensee collects from customers or companies that it leases its network to for providing FTTH services in the City of Phoenix. The licensee may be subject to an alternative, annual minimum fee (AMF) until the 3% license fee exceeds the AMF of nine dollars ($9.00) for each residential unit that the licensee’s fiber optic network passes.

The City of Phoenix currently has two companies that expressed a strong desire to secure a Network Infrastructure Services license and two other companies that have expressed an interest, but require specific terms to be met before making a final decision. This Code Chapter and fee will apply the same fee to any Network Infrastructure Services license.​​

1. Date, time, and place of meeting.
The proposed fees will be considered by the Phoenix City Council at its formal meeting on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, commencing at 2:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Phoenix City Council Chambers, 200 West Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003.​

Fee
​The City of Phoenix hereby gives notice of its intent to amend Phoenix City Code (PCC), Chapter 4 Aviation, Sections 4-1, 4-190 and 4-192 to clarify the application of Commercial Use Permit (CUP) requirements and associated fees at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). The amended language will not create a new fee or increase an existing fee, but will more clearly define the types of services that are subject to and exempted from CUP requirements and associated fees as noted here:

1. Amended PCC Section 4-1 will establish that a consortium of Air carriers will be treated as an Air carrier for purposes of subjecting aviation-related service(s), provided to a consortium, to CUP requirements and associated fees.

2. Amended PCC Sections 4-1 and 4-190 will exempt aviation-related service(s), provided to or by an Affiliate, from CUP requirements and associated fees.

3. Amended PCC 4-1 will establish that baggage delivery service of an airlines’ mishandled luggage or packages from the airport premises to its passenger(s) will not be considered a courier type service and will therefore not be exempt from CUP requirements and associated fees.

The fees generated from CUPs are revenue for the City of Phoenix Aviation Department.

1. Date, time, and place of meeting.
The proposed fee will be considered by the Phoenix City Council at its formal meeting or after January 3, 2024 commencing at 2:30 p.m. at the Phoenix City Council Chambers, 200 West Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003​​.

The following was provided to the Transportation, Infrastructure, and Innovation Subcommittee for the proposed rate revenue increases in FY2024 and in FY2025, shown below:

​​03/02/2016​​​05/04/2016​Ground Transportation Trip Fe​eOn or after May 4, 2016, the City of Phoenix will bring forward a proposed ordinance for consideration by the Phoenix City Council making certain changes to Chapter 4, Article IV, Section 4-78 of the Phoenix City Code related to the fees charged for ground transportation motor vehicles at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The City is recommending a trip fee based upon the number of vehicle seats for all ground transportation vehicles picking up customers at the airport. For current, permitted ground transportation providers, the fees will be phased in over a three-year period as follows:

2017:
1-8 seats:     $2.75 per trip
9-23 seats:  $3.50 per trip
24+ seats:    $7.50 per trip

2018:
1-8 seats:     $3.25 per trip
9-23 seats:  $4.25 per trip
24+ seats:    $9.00 per trip

2019:
1-8 seats:     $4.00 per trip
9-23 seats:  $6.00 per trip
24+ seats:    $11.00 per trip

For new ground transportation providers, trip fees will be immediately implemented at the 2019 rates. Beginning in 2020, fees will be adjusted annually based upon the lesser of the consumer price index (Bureau of Labor Statistics - All Urban Areas: Los Angeles – Riverside – Orange County) or three (3)%. If approved, the fees will provide funding for operation of the ground transportation program at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, including maintenance of roadways and ground transportation waiting areas, capital costs, and personal services.
