City Council Agenda Summary Sheet
Agenda Caption:
Consider a resolution amending "Appendix A: Fees, Rates, and Charges" to the Code of
Ordinances to establish a reduced filing fee for Planned Unit Development (PUD)
applications within the Downtown Master Plan Area.
Meeting Date: November 23, 2010
Department: Planning and Community Development
Staff Person making presentation: Peter Wysocki, AICP
Planning and Community Development Director
Item Summary:
This resolution will establish a reduced PUD application filing fee of $300 dollars plus $1 per notified property owner
for PUD projects within the Downtown Master Plan area. The reduced fee is intended to provide an incentive for
development/redevelopment within the Downtown Master Plan area until alternative mixed-use zoning regulations
are adopted that would allow similar flexibility as PUD (re)zoning — e.g. form based code. The concept of reducing
the fee as a redevelopment incentive was recently discussed by the Council, although the Council did not specify the
amount of reduction.
The current fee for a PUD application is $2,000, plus $200 per acre or fraction thereof in excess of one acre, not to
exceed a total fee of $5,000; plus a flat $300 newspaper notification fee ($150 for P and Z hearing and $150 for
Council hearing) and $1 per each notified property owner (for envelopes and stamps). The two public hearing
notices in the local newspaper and direct mailing of notices to property owners are required of all zone change
applications, including PUDs. Essentially, the proposed reduced fee covers the City's direct cost of processing a PUD
application and saves a potential project between $2000 and $5000, depending on size.
In Tight of the Council adopting Resolution R-10-10-28-1081 at the October 28, 2010 Council meeting, which
readopted fees pertaining to the code of ordinances (including zoning fees), it is necessary for the proposed fee
reduction to be adopted by a resolution. Other fees such as building permit fees, and water and sewer connection
fees are not proposed to be changed at this time.
Strategic Plan Relevance:
Provides an incentive to attain Goal 5 — Preserve historic building and places, and Goal 17 - Support the growth &
expansion of business clusters. Assists with the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan.
