Discussion fotlowed and Planning Director Schroeter comnented and repiied to questions relating to the proposed $15 per half-hour fee for office consultations with non-Redwood City residents or property owners; the fact that whenever a piece of property becomes available, developers from many areas inquire at length regarding the use which might be made of it; the fact that those inquiring usually wish to do something inconsistent with City policy, since, otherwise� they could simply meet zoning requirements and proceed; the fact that the Planning and other City departments are paid for by Redwood City taxpayers; the desire of Council to welcome prospective investors; and the fact that some developers may take advantage of the City by demanding unreasonable e� amounts of City employee time. In response to question relating to the pro- �y,,,� posed increase from $50 to $100 for a variance, Mr. Schrueter advised that at present the total cost of legal advertising, mailing of notices, time of the members of the Plan Review Comnit- tee, time of the Planning Director, and staff time involved in preparing material and placing the matter on the Agenda is significantly more than the E100 charge. He observed that the variance is for the benefit of the applicant and, while subsidized to some extent by the taxpayers, the cost should be borne by the user of the City's services. M/S: Title read.
