<br /> <br />Planning Division Director Stan Boling reviewed a memorandum of January 13, <br />2004. He advised that the last increase of planning and zoning related application review <br />fees was in 1990 and it is time to consider updating them. He recommended adoption of the <br />proposed planning and zoning and engineering fee schedules with an effective date of March <br />1, 2004 (to accommodate those already in process), and adoption of a policy guideline to <br />revisit and update planning and zoning and engineering related fees every four years. He <br />described the process used by staff to make their recommendation. Their proposed fees <br />were brought to the Professional Services Advisory Committee and their recommended <br />changes have been made. He stressed that these are review fees, and not impact fees. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the CPI increase, depth of review, additional <br />regulations, time increase, volume of applications, actual costs, and cost recovery. This is <br />administrative and needed to cover costs which is the reason it was being done without a <br />public hearing. <br />Acting County Administrator Baird specified that regulations have increased the <br />costs and the burden is now on the taxpayers. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Lowther, the Board unanimously adopted <br />the proposed planning and zoning, and engineering fee <br />schedules with an effective date of March 1, 2004, and <br />adopted a policy guideline to revisit and update planning and <br />zoning, and engineering related fees every four years, as <br />recommended by staff; and adopted Resolution 2004-017 <br />establishing revised fee schedules for planning and zoning <br />and engineering application and permit review activities. . <br /> <br />February 3, 2004 23 <br /> <br />
