M M <br />expensive to advertise and notify, thus costing the County more. <br />Indian River County's Land Use Amendment fee for parcels under <br />five (5) acres is also lower than fees charged by other local <br />governments. <br />Although the County has had a fee schedule for Land Use Plan <br />Amendment requests, no fee for proposed changes in other Elements <br />of the Comprehensive Plan has ever been established. Since an <br />application for an amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan was submit- <br />ted in January, staff has determined that the costs associated <br />with reviewing that application were similar to the costs of <br />reviewing a land use plan amendment for a 5 -to -40, acre parcel of <br />land. <br />Another area in which the County has not established a fee is for <br />proposed changes to the text of the zoning ordinance. As in the <br />case of the Thoroughfare Plan, several inquiries have been made <br />about amending the text of the zoning ordinance. Since these <br />requests also require a large amount of staff time to review and <br />the public hearing also needs to be advertised, this item should <br />also be included on the fee schedule. <br />Based on the analysis of the current fee schedule for rezoning <br />and land use plan amendment applications and the comparative <br />analysis of other jurisdictions' fee schedules, the following <br />schedule was prepared: <br />Size of Parcel <br />Less than 5 acres <br />5 -to -40 acres <br />41 -to -100 acres <br />More than 100 acres <br />Rezoning Fee <br />$400 <br />$500 <br />$650 <br />$750 + $50 <br />for each <br />additional <br />25 acres <br />Land Use Plan <br />Amendment <br />CPA Fee <br />$400 <br />$500 <br />$650 <br />$750 + $50 <br />for each . <br />additional <br />25 acres <br />Application for amendment of element <br />other than Land Use Plan $500 <br />Proposed amendment to text of Zoning Ordinance <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Combined <br />Land Use Plan <br />and Rezoning Fee <br />$600 <br />$800 <br />$1100 <br />$1250 + $50 <br />for each <br />additional <br />25 acres <br />$500 <br />Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the proposed <br />changes in the rezoning and Land Use Amendment fee schedule, and <br />the addition of a fee for amendments to elements other than the <br />Land Use Plan and amendments to the text of the zoning ordinance, <br />be adopted and take effect on January 1, 1986. <br />51 <br />DEC111985 BOOK PACE <br />
