2 BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission deferred this item at the April 10 public hearing to provide staff additional time to obtain input from affected stakeholders. Staff discussed the amendments during the monthly meeting with the development community held by the Development Services Center on April 29, The proposed fees included with these amendments are based on the discussion that occurred and decisions made The amendment package presented here is driven by the preparation of the Planning Department s preparation and submission of its budget request for Fiscal Year The City Council is currently reviewing the City Manager s proposed Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and the attached amendments will be part of City Council s adoption of the final adoption of the Operating Budget. The attached amendments propose an increase in application fees for the purpose of capturing most of the costs associated with review. The majority of the fees were last increased in 2003, and during the past ten years, the costs associated with the review of each type of application have increased to the point where the fees do not cover the actual cost of review. Thus, the public now is incurring a much greater percentage of the cost of the reviews than the actual application fee covers. The proposed fee increases will also help support the efforts of the Planning Department to upgrade, and in some cases, create databases that will provide staff and the public with faster and greater access to information, including proposed and actual development activity. The proposed fees split the costs for review of an application between two different types of costs incurred with an application: The average cost per application pertaining to processing and evaluation of the application by Planning Department staff (the costs pertaining to the review and involvement of staff in other City departments is not included); and The cost of the public notice sign(s), the cost of required legal advertisement in the newspaper, and the cost of the postage for the required certified letters to adjacent property owners. Both the first type (personnel costs) and the second type (public notice costs) have risen since 2003; however, the costs for postage, newspaper advertisements, and the public notice signs have risen considerably since To address (1) the different types of costs, (2) the differing rate of increase between the two, and (3) the need to more equitably distribute the cost of the legal ad and adjacent property owner notices, the costs of the required public notice will be charged directly to each applicant via a billing process. Staff has researched the cost of the personnel time and materials related to such a process, found them to be minimal, and included that cost as part of the Administrative Support average cost included with the fee calculations on the following pages. The proposed amendments include an explanation of how the fee was derived. Each of those includes a note that the cost of the legal ad, sign, and postage for mailing of the adjacent property owner notices will be billed separately. The average bill has been calculated at $170 for applications that are heard by both the Planning Commission and the City Council, and half of that ($85) for all other applications since they are heard only once by either the City Council or one of the other boards. Included on the following page is a table depicting the current and proposed fees for each application type. CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH / Fee Increase Ordinances Agenda Items D4 D12 Page 2
