• <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Currently. the planning division has a Board of County Commissioners approved fee schedule which <br />establishes the fees for all planning division applications. One application type in the fee schedule <br />is concurrency. At present, there are several categories of non -single family concurrency <br />applications. Each of these categories has a different fee based on the project's estimated Average <br />Annual Daily Vehicle Tnps (AADT). The following table identifies the current AADT based <br />concurrency fee amounts for conceptual and initial concurrency applications. <br />Net AADTs <br />100 or fewer AADT <br />Application Fee <br />540.00 <br />101-999 AADT <br />$120.00 <br />1.000 or more AADT <br />S2_00.00 <br />Many applicants are not familiar with trip calculation methodology and find this method of <br />concurrency application fee determination to be confusing. <br />Analysis <br />Concurrency applications are reviewed by the traffic division. utilities department and planning <br />division. The amount of time that traffic engineering staff spend on reviewing concurrence <br />applications depends on how large a project is and how many tnps it generates. That was the reason <br />that the application fee was based on the number of trips generated by the project. <br />Staff's experience is that the concurrency application rate structure is confusing to applicants. To <br />calculate the number of project trips. an applicant must apply the trip rates by land use to the <br />project's size. Often this is done incorrectly with the result being applications that are wrong. fee <br />payments that are incorrect. and additional staff time needed to resolve these problems. <br />Staff recommends that the initial. initial/final. and conditional concurrency determination application <br />fee rates be revised to a 3100.00 fee regardless of the number of trips that will be generated by the <br />project. <br />On February 15. 2001. the Professional Services Advisory Commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend <br />that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached revised planning division fee <br />schedule. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff and the Professional Services Advisory Committee recommend that the Board of County <br />Commissioners modify the concurrency determination application fee by approving the attached <br />revised planning division fee schedule. <br />Attachment <br />1.
