<br />5. 3A- 15 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 181 <br /> <br />Planning Cast R8C0V8ry Policy <br /> <br />Since this action changes a City charge for service, special notice provisions apply. <br />Staff has published notice of this hearing and also advised any interested parties of this <br />possible action. The City has also made the information justifying the cost increases <br />available at least 10 days prior to this hearing. If you adopt this Planning Cost Recovery <br />Policy, state law mandates that it go into effect 60 days after approval to minimize <br />disruption to applicants already in the system. The staff will bill only those hours they <br />work on the project, and unused funds, if any, will be returned to the applicant. <br /> <br />Alterna1hles <br />1. Reject the sub-committee recommendation and make no change in policy. <br />Impact: the general fund will continue to subsidize development review. <br />2. Approve the policy but change some facet of the proposal. <br /> <br />Flscallf11JBd <br />The Planning Cost Recovery Policy details are contained in EXhibit 1 to the Resolution. <br />Using the FY 2004/05 general fund portion of Planning's budget, divided by the total <br />number of hours that the Current Planning staff has available to bill to major projects, <br />produces an overall hourly rate of $149.70, as shown on the following chart: <br /> <br /> <br />to General Fund <br />$ 988,513 <br />$ 9,000 <br />$ 450,000 <br />$ 13,227 <br />$ 516,286 <br /> 3,792 <br />$ 136.15 <br />$ 10.90 <br />$ 2.65 <br />$ 149.70 <br /> <br />Billable Hours for Current Plannin <br /> <br /> <br />If this rate is applied to the following list of potential projects (the certainty of anyone of <br />these projects being presented to the City in FY 2004/05 is dependent upon factors <br />beyond the City's control), the chart summarizes how much of the City's costs might be <br />recovered. This chart includes only the time of one Planner. This is a conservative <br />estimate because, in reality, other staff will spend time reviewing plans, including among <br />others the Traffic Engineer, City Arborist and Fire Marshal. To the extent that we do not <br />charge the total costs for project review, the general fund absorbs this cost. <br /> <br />All 1.3 <br />
