Agenda Item Summary
Agenda Number: G.2
Title: Consider a resolution amending "Appendix A: Fees, Rates and Charges"
to the Code of Ordinances (2010 Edition), City of Round Rock, Texas, by
amending Chapter 36, Subdivisions, and Chapter 46, Zoning, regarding
planning and development services fees.

Attachments: Resolution, Fee Comparison
Text of Legislative File 13-555
Attached is a resolution to amend fees for certain applications processed by the Planning
and Development Services Department. It has been several years since the last
comprehensive fee review and subsequent adjustment. Staff considered many factors when
reviewing the current fee structure, such as the frequency of each application; the staff time
involved in processing each one; changed conditions that may alter the applicability of a
given procedure; and what other cities in the region charge for similar procedures. Where it
was determined that a new or amended fee was necessary, staff ensured that it was
comparable to the same fee in these other cities. The cities used in the comparisons were
Pflugerville, Georgetown, and Cedar Park.
A total of five (5) amendments are proposed to the fee structure in Chapters 36
(Subdivisions) and 46 (Zoning):
1. Increasing the fee for minor subdivision final plats from $250 to $300;
2. Increasing the fee for zoning map amendments from $750 to $900 for properties 30
acres or larger in size; the fee for properties smaller than 30 acres will remain $750;
3. Removing the reduced fee of $300 for PUDs in the Downtown Master Plan area.
This specific fee is no longer necessary because it served as an incentive to draw
redevelopment into downtown prior to the adoption of the new downtown mixed-use
zoning districts; upon adoption all PUDs in the City will have the same fee of $2000
plus $200 per acre;
4. Increasing the fee for major PUD amendments from $1,000 to $1,500; and

5. Adding a $100 fee for administrative adjustments, which are minor variances that are
handled administratively, without a public hearing in front of the Zoning Board of
Adjustment.
Staff recommends approval
