WHEREAS, the fees adopted pursuant to Resolution 2010-43 have been in effect approximately 11 years; and
WHEREAS, the current City fees for commercial building permits and related plan check fees are calculated based upon square footage in which projects under 100,000 sq ft are capped at a $6,277(which has been demonstrated to be inadequate for the service rendered), with a deposit based system from 100,001-200,000 sq.ft, with nothing addressed above 200,000 sq.ft; and
WHEREAS, based on upon study of the current fees, City staff is now recommending the fees for commercial building permits and related plan check fees be calculated based upon the square footage, construction type, and occupancy, which better reflects actual cost to the City, as reflected in the International Code Council (ICC) Valuation tables as is customary for many municipalities; and WHEREAS, the City Council now believes that various adjustments should be made to the commercial building permits and related plan check fees to ensure that they accurately reflect the costs reasonably borne by the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council continues to comply with both the letter and the spirit of the California Constitution and intends to limit the growth of taxes and expenses to the City’s General Fund, by shifting, where possible, the burden of special regulatory programs and services and products to applicants and the recipients of the benefits thereof while ensuring that those shifted costs do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the program, service or product; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Chapter 3.05 of the Calimesa Municipal Code, the City Council desires to continue its established policy of recovering the full costs reasonably borne of providing special services and programs of a voluntary and limited nature, and regulatory services deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare, 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, pursuant to applicable provisions of the California Government Code and Section 3.05.020 of the Calimesa Municipal Code, the specific fees to be charged for certain regulations, services and products must be adopted by resolution, following notice and public hearing; and
WHEREAS, notice of public hearing has been given pursuant to Government Code Section 6062a, and written notice has been provided to interested parties who filed written requests for mailed notice of meetings on new or increased development-related fees or service charges, and written presentations made and received, and the required public hearing was held on April 18, 2022.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Calimesa hereby finds, resolves and determines as follows:
Section 1. Adoption and Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein.
Section 2. Environmental Exemption. The City Council finds that the adoption
of this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA,” Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), because it approves and sets forth a procedure for determining fees for the purpose of meeting the operating expenses of City departments, as set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8)(A).
Section 3. Findings.
A. The City Council finds that the fees and charges increased pursuant to this Resolution are set at the estimated costs reasonably borne by the City in providing the regulations, services and products to which each such fee or charge applies and in no case do they exceed the estimated cost of the service.
B. The City further finds that the City conducted an analysis of its services, the costs reasonably borne by the City in providing its services, the beneficiaries of such services, and the revenues produced by those paying fees and charges for such services in both 2010 and 2014. More recently, City departments have reviewed and studied the Comprehensive Fee Schedule, prior studies, and the ICC Valuation tables, and made certain recommendations as to the fees identified on Attachment 1 to the accompanying staff report. The Report and the Cost Analysis performed by the independent consultants and the additional analysis performed by staff are on file with the City and are incorporated by this reference. The studies set forth a mechanism to ensure that fees adopted by the City do not exceed the reasonable estimated cost for providing the services for which the fees are charged.
C. After conducting a duly noticed public hearing on April 18, 2022, and satisfying all applicable provisions of California Government Code Sections 66016 and 66018, the City Council hereby determines that the fees, rates, and charges proposed to be increased should cover the costs reasonably borne or a substantial portion of the actual costs of the services provided by the City and that the certain fees, rates, and charges identified on Attachment 1 to the staff report, satisfy this requirement.
Section 4. Adoption of Fees and Charges. Pursuant to applicable provisions of the California Constitution and the California Government Code, and Calimesa Municipal Code Chapter 3.05, the City Council hereby approves and adopts the adjusted fees and charges for regulations, services and products set forth in the excerpt (“Adjusted Fees Excerpt”) attached as Attachment 1 to the Staff Report.
Section 5. Attached as Exhibit “A” to this Resolution is the updated “City of Calimesa Fee Schedule” which contains: (1) the proposed plan check fees, building construction fees for commercial building permits; and (2) the existing fees that are not proposed to be changed. The City Council is not readopting or revising the existing fees; all such fees and charges remain in place at the current amount. Any restatement in Exhibit “A” of existing rates and amounts for previously imposed taxes, fees, and charges is for the purpose of administrative convenience and is not intended, and shall not be construed, as the imposition, extension, or increase of any such tax, fee, or charge.
Section 6. Methodology for Calculation and Collection of Fees and Charges. The fees and charges adjusted herein shall continue to be calculated and collected in accordance with Chapter 3.05 of the Calimesa Municipal Code, the Report, and otherwise as follows:
A. Each fee and charge adjusted herein is for an identified regulation, service or product; additional fees shall be required for each additional regulation, service or product that is requested or required.
B. Where fees or charges are indicated on a per unit of measurement basis, the fee is for each identified unit or portion thereof within the indicated range of such units.
C. The fees or charges due shall be calculated by the various City department(s), and shall be collected prior to the City’s performance of the services, unless a written agreement is entered into for deferral of such fees, or unless otherwise provided herein.
D. Where a deposit is required for a particular service or project, the applicant shall post and maintain the required deposit in accordance with Section
3.05.040 of the Calimesa Municipal Code.
E. Where contracted personnel (including, without limitation, the City Attorney, Planning and/or Engineering staff, or outside special services) are utilized, or where requested dedicated contracted personnel are required or provided at an applicant’s request, the actual time spent by that contracted personnel or services, at the rates and on the terms applicable to the services provided, shall be paid by the applicant.
Section 7. Interest for Non-Payment of Invoices. The City Council authorizes staff to impose interest charges on all outstanding invoices from the date that the payment is late to the date that the invoice is paid. The applicable interest rate shall be the interest rate that the City earns on investments in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is currently then in effect on the date the invoice payment is deemed to be late.
Section 8. Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions. Any and all conflicting provisions of prior Resolutions of the City Council establishing, adjusting or modifying fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit “A,” are hereby repealed and replaced as of the effective date of the fees set forth in said Exhibit “A;” provided, however, that such repeal shall not excuse or affect the failure of any person or entity to pay any fee heretofore imposed upon such person or entity.
Section 9. The City Manager, or designee, shall have the authority to interpret the provisions of this Resolution, Attachment 1 to the staff report, and Exhibit “A” for purposes of resolving ambiguities.
Section 10. Effective Date. The fees and charges increased pursuant to this Resolution shall take effect 60 days following the adoption of this Resolution, pursuant to Government Code Sections 66017(a) and 66019(b).
Section 11. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution or any part hereof is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection,
subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of April 2022. _____________________________________
