CC RES 2000-081 RESOLUTION NO. 2000-81 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 92-68 (THE CITY'S FEE RESOLUTION) TO ESTABLISH A NEW FEE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY ANALYSIS; ESTABLISH A DATA PROCESSING FEE FOR THE PERMIT TRACKING SYSTEM; REDUCE THE FEE FOR MINOR SITE PLAN REVIEW APPLICATIONS; ELIMINATE THE MINIMUM BUILDING PERMIT FEE; ESTABLISH A FIXED FEE FOR GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOLOGY REVIEW SERVICES; AND ELIMINATE THE ASSOCIATED FEES FOR REVIEWING ADDRESS FILES, GEOLOGY FILES AND TRACT/PARCEL MAP FILES. WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes previously conducted an analysis of its services in 1992 and determined the costs reasonably borne by the City in providing those services, the beneficiaries of those services, and the revenue produced by those paying fees and charges for services; and, WHEREAS, the City wishes to comply with both the letter and the spirit of Article XIII of the California Constitution and limit the growth of taxes; and, WHEREAS, the City desires to establish a policy or recovering the full costs reasonably borne of providing special services of a voluntary and limited nature, such that general taxes are not diverted from general services of a broad nature and thereby utilized to subsidize unfairly and inequitably such special services; and, WHEREAS, on July 7, 1992, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 92- 67 establishing its policy as to recovery of costs and, more particularly, the percentage of costs reasonably borne to be recovered from users of City services and directing Staff as to the methodology for implementing said Resolution; and, WHEREAS, on July 2, 1992, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 92- 68 establishing a schedule of fees and charges for City Services; and, WHEREAS, the City Council amended the schedule of fees and charges on November 25, 1996 by adoption of Resolution No. 96-100, on April 1, 1997 by adoption of resolution No. 97-26; and, Resolution No. 2000-81 Page 1 of 4 WHEREAS, the City Council adopted a recent code amendment requiring the analysis of the "Neighborhood Compatibility" finding for projects that consist of an expansion of 25% or more of the original structure size; and, WHEREAS, in the course of reviewing development applications requiring the "Neighborhood Compatibility" analysis, exclusive of development applications that currently require such an analysis as part of the findings of fact, Staff is required to conduct site visits, research permits for surrounding properties, issue public notices and prepare appropriate Staff Reports; and, WHEREAS, currently there is no fee for Staff time involved in processing development applications that only require the "Neighborhood Compatibility" analysis; and, WHEREAS, the proposed fee for the "Neighborhood Compatibility" analysis has been formulated to offset actual costs associated with processing such applications; and, WHEREAS, with the City Council's approval of the purchase and installation of a permit tracking system, it is determined that a processing fee should be assessed to offset costs for data entry and the City's costs to create an electronic history file for each property and any subsequent updates. Such fees shall be collected for all development applications; and, WHEREAS, based on the Staff time involved to review and process a Minor Site Plan Review application, to accurately recover all true costs incurred, based on hourly rates, a proposed fee amendment requires a reduction in the current fee from $65.00 to $45.00; and, WHEREAS, the current minimum building permit fee of $50.00 does not accurately offset costs incurred by Staff; and, WHEREAS, based on offset costs, the building permit fees for minor improvements shall be based on the permit issuance costs already established by Resolution 92-68; and, WHEREAS, it has been determined that a fixed fee for geology and geotechnical review services will provide higher quality customer service and prevent Staff from reviewing and processing multiple billings for a single project or track trust deposit accounts; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 66018, the specific fees to be charged for services must be adopted by the City Council by Resolution, after providing notice and holding a public hearing; and, Resolution No. 2000-81 Page 2 of 4 WHEREAS, notice of the public hearing for establishment of the aforementioned fees has been provided per Government Code Section 66016(a) and 6062(a); and, WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on November 21, 2000, at which time all interested parties were given the opportunity to be heard and present evidence.
