As previously mentioned, the City is proposing to move from charging valuation for their Commercial / Multi-Family / Industrial building permit fees to charging based on occupancy type, construction material, and square footage of the project. This change will allow for a more accurate representation of the effort staff spend in administering and performing inspections.

2.3 Landscape Fees Per Unit Results
As part of the construction phase, a developer must have their landscape plans reviewed and the landscape eventually inspected. These services were traditionally covered as part of the building permit previously, but in an effort to be more transparent, a separate set of fees has been developed. The total cost calculated for each service includes contracted staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the proposed fee name and total cost of each service offered.

Building has an annual cost recovery of 94%, which reflects a roughly $34,000 subsidy.

The largest source of this deficit ($28,000) is in relation to residential building permits, as they are the largest source of workload for the Building Division. In addition to parsing out remodels from the other types of residential building permits, staff adjusted time estimates to more accurately reflect the level of effort associated with those activities.

Planning both under- and over-recovers for fees. Under-recoveries range from a low of $74 for ‘Accessory Dwelling Unit / Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit Covenant Review’ to a high of $735 for ‘Temporary Use Permit – Holiday Sales Lot (30-days max)’. The largest over-recovery is in relation to ‘Extension of Time – All’ at $4,178; followed by ‘Appeals’, with both ‘Appeal to Planning Commission’ and ‘Appeal to City Council’ over-recovering by $1,627. It is important to note that currently both of these fees are deposit-based fees, as such the over-recovery is not accurate, as if the City were to incur less cost, it would refund the outstanding amount.

2.2 Deposit-based Fees
Planning collects deposits for annexations, development agreements, development plan review, specific plan, variance, and much more. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead.

All of recommended deposits suggest an increase to the current deposit charged. At $35,000, ‘General Plan Amendment’ is the largest increase recommended. These are typically large, complicated projects that require multiple consultants and intensive staff review.

By increasing the initial deposit collected it will mitigate the need for the City to postpone services as they request additional deposits, while also more accurately providing developers with an estimating the overall fees charged.

In addition to these deposits, the City would still continue to assess an administrative fee on top of it to cover the costs of managing the deposit process. This is meant to capture the support provided by Finance, City Council, City Manager, and other indirect support services that do not directly bill time to deposits. The City currently assesses a 10% administrative rate. Through the Full Cost Allocation Plan (provided under separate cover), the indirect rate was calculated at 25%. As such, the City has the option to increase its administrative fee up to 25%. The administrative fee would be assessed on top of the deposit to recover the cost associated with City staff in processing and managing the deposit-based activities.
3 Annual Revenue Impact
Based on the prior year’s permit information, Planning has an over-recovery of roughly $5,000. The following table shows by major fee category: revenue at current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference.

Flat Fees $14,430 $9,570 $4,860
Total $146,980 $142,120 $4,860
It is assumed that deposit-based fees have full cost recovery, as in theory the City would bill up to its cost recovery level. Therefore, when reviewing the flat fees, Planning is overrecovering by approximately $5,000, which reflects a cost recovery level of 103%.

The primary source of this over-recovery is time extensions, which are currently depositbased but it was proposed to shift this fee to be administered as a flat fee. The rightsizing of this fee and other, along with converting them to flat fees better reflects City staff effort in processing these applications and creates greater predictability for applicants.

11. Public Works
Public Works is responsible for maintenance and improvements of the City’s infrastructure, including, storm drains, traffic lights, parks, roadways, and facilities.

Additionally, the City contracts to provide land development engineering services. The fees examined within this study relate to grading, public improvements, SWPPP, certificates of correction, lot line adjustment / mergers, encroachments, and much more.

The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by Public Works. 1 Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, the following modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule:
• Eliminated Fees: The following three fees were eliminated as these services are covered through other permits:
- ‘Temporary Occupancy for Grading Permit Outstanding Work’ - ‘Temporary Occupancy for Non-Grading Permit Outstanding Work’ - ‘Lane Closure/Truck Access Permit’
• New Fees: The following seven fees were added to highlight new services offered by the City:
- ‘Survey Monument Inspection’
- ‘Lane Closure - First Day’
- ‘Lane Closure – Additional Day at Same Location’
- ‘Underground Utilities - Trenching 0-100 LF’
- ‘Underground Utilities - Trenching 101-1,000 LF
- ‘Underground Utilities - Trenching 1,0001+ LF’
- ‘All Other Encroachments Not Listed
• Fee Name Change: The following fee names were changed to provide additional clarity as to what the fee entails:
- ‘Precise Grading Plan Check’ is now ‘Single Family Precise Grading Plan Check’
- ‘Lot Line Adjustment’ is now ‘Lot Line Adjustment / Lot Merger’

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 55
• Unit Change: ‘Bond Agreement Processing’ was changed from a flat rate to an hourly fee to better capture the variation in the level of time it takes to process these agreements.

The modifications ensure that the proposed fee schedule more accurately reflects the services currently being provided by Public Works.

The largest under-recovery is in relation to ‘Street Vacation / Abandonment’ at $1,306. The next largest deficit is ‘Lot Line Adjustment / Lot Merger’ at $1,125, which is due to the consolidation of Public Work’s fee with the fee from the Planning Department. The largest over-recovery at $58 is in relation to ‘Time Extension for Previously Issued Permit’.

2.2 Deposit-based Fees
Public Works collect deposits for commercial public improvements, grading, map plan check, and encroachments. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The City currently assesses a different deposit amount for each of these depending upon the scope. The following table 7 Includes time and effort for Planning department on Lot Line Adjustments and Lot Mergers. 8 Cal. Code Regs. tit. 21 § 1411.3 (a)

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 57
details the deposit name, calculated deposit, and the recommended despite for each service offered.

Table 21: Total Cost Per Unit Results – Public Works Deposit Based Fees Deposit Name

Commercial (applications for lots larger than 5,000 square feet) Public Improvement Plan Check $6,329 $6,500

Survey Monument Inspection $633 $1,000
Encroachment Permits
Commercial Driveway Permit $949 $1,000
All Other Encroachments not listed $1,266 $1,500
Due to the size and complexity of various fees such as public improvements, grading plan checks, and commercial encroachments; Public Works proposed the collection of deposits, rather than collecting a flat fee. Additionally, rather than having a different deposit amount depending upon the scope, it was decided that an initial deposit amount should be published to provide greater transparency to the applicant. The project team calculated the deposit based on an estimate of initial time needed to administer the service.

Similar to Planning deposits, the City also assesses a 10% administrative fee on these deposits. The City would have the option to increase this assessment up to 25% to better capture the administrative support associated with managing these large complex projects. The 25% would be on top of the recommended deposit amount to capture the additional level of support.
3 Annual Revenue Impact
Based on the prior year’s permit information, Public Works has a deficit of roughly $18,000. The following table shows by major fee category: revenue at current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference.

As deposit-based fees are intended to be cost recovery, it was assumed that there is no deficit or over-recovery. As such, when reviewing flat fees Public Works has an annual cost recovery of 96%, which reflects a roughly $18,000 subsidy. Roughly $14,000 of the overall subsidy is in relation to ‘Lane Closures’. Currently, the City charges $60 for this service but it actually costs the City roughly $541, resulting in a per unit deficit of $481.

Due to the large amount of these types of permits pulled even a small increase in the fee amount would result in minimizing the cost recovery gap.

12. Development Services Surcharges
There are two typical surcharges assessed as part of the development review process – General Plan Maintenance Fee and Technology fee. Currently, the City of Calimesa charges both fees. The following subsections discuss the calculation of the General Plan Maintenance Fee and Technology Fee.
1 General Plan Maintenance Fee
A General Plan Maintenance fee is meant to account for updates to the general plan, zoning ordinance, housing elements, and other long-range planning activities that are part of the larger General Plan.

The General Plan Maintenance fee is governed by Government Code Section 66014(b) which states that fees “may include the costs reasonably necessary to prepare and revise the plans and policies that a local agency is required to adopt before it can make any necessary findings and recommendations.” This code states that fees can be charged against zoning changes, zoning variances, use permits, building inspections, and filing applications.

More typically, the fee is charged during the building permit phase so as to ensure any development project, which gets to that phase, makes enough of an impact to require the need for an update to the Zoning Code or the General Plan. This fee should only be applied to major building permits (i.e., new or remodel / tenant improvements) rather than standalone permits for water heaters or electrical outlets.

The project team took the estimated cost associated with updating the General Plan and Housing Element, divided by the years between updates, to come up with a total annual cost. Additionally, 15%, or roughly 259 hours, of the Planning Director’s time annually is spent on General Plan related tasks. The 259 hours was multiplied by the fully burdened hourly rate (FBHR), resulting in an annual staff cost associated with general plan maintenance. The following table shows broken out by category the components which make up the total annual cost calculation.

Table 23: General Plan Maintenance Fee Cost Components
Cost Category Estimated Cost Years Annual Cost
General Plan Update $1,000,000 20 $50,000
Housing Element $250,000 8 $31,250
Staff Costs $42,651 1 $42,651
Total Annual Cost $123,901

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 60
The annual cost to the City for updating their general plan is roughly $124,000. The three most common methodologies for assessing a General Plan Maintenance fee are:

1. Percentage of Building Permit Fee: This means that the general plan maintenance fee is assessed as a percentage of the total building permit fee assessed to a project.

2. Percentage of Valuation: This means that the fee is assessed based upon the total project valuation. Even if the City doesn’t utilize valuation for calculating fees, it still has to collect that information for SMIP and state surcharges and can utilize it to determine the proportionate General Plan impact.

3. Cost Per Square Foot: This means that the fee is assessed based upon the total potential square footage based upon which it would be assessed.

The project team calculated the full cost of the General Plan Fee based upon all three methodologies. The following table shows this calculation:

Table 24: General Plan Maintenance Fee Calculation
Category
Building
Permit Fee Valuation Sq. Ft.

Total Annual Cost $123,901 $123,901 $123,901
General Plan Fee Basis $561,656 $18,491,608 207,219
General Plan Maintenance Fee 22% 0.67% $0.60
The calculated General Plan Maintenance Fee is either 22% of the Building Permit Fee,

0.67% of Building Valuation or $0.60 per square foot. The City has the ability to choose one option of the above to charge as its General Plan Maintenance Fee.

The City of Calimesa currently charges the General Plan Maintenance Fee as 0.142% of valuation, which represents a cost recovery level of 21% (based on the 0.67% valuation methodology).

As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of the General Plan Maintenance Fee. Like other comparative efforts, the survey below simply shows the fees charged by the jurisdiction and does not include the basis upon which the other jurisdictions calculated or developed their fee. The following table shows the results of this comparative analysis:

Table 25: General Plan Maintenance Fee – Comparative Survey Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Beaumont
Residential: $50 per DU
Comm / Ind: $0.05 per sq. ft.

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 61
Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Loma Linda 10% of Building Permit
Redlands
$0.10 per sq. ft. of New Construction or
Additions > 50% of Existing Floor Area
San Jacinto
Residential: $150 per DU
Comm / Ind: $0.06 per sq. ft.

As the table indicates the current fee charged by jurisdictions varies based upon project type and / or building permit. There are no surveyed jurisdictions that charge the fee as percentage of valuation. The full cost calculated for the City is higher than all the other jurisdictions surveyed. However, similar to other comparative analyses, this only reflects the fee being charged, not necessarily the full cost of those services.

As the City is moving away from valuation, the best option for the City would be to charge the General Plan Maintenance fee as a percentage of the building permit fee. This best captures the level of long-range planning effort needed depending upon the proportional impact of the building projects.
2 Technology Surcharge Fee
A Technology Fee allows the City to support the costs associated with the City’s permitting system, staff time for managing the systems, acquiring the system, mobile devices used for permitting, etc. The City currently assesses this fee as 3.29% of the permit fees.

The project team used knowledge from previous fee studies for cities similar to Calimesa as a way to estimate annual permit-related technology costs. The costs included in this estimate are the capital costs for a permitting system annualized over 25 years, as well as the annual licensing and maintenance cost paid to maintain the permitting system.

The following table shows by cost category the annual cost:

Table 26: Technology Surcharge Fee Cost Components
Cost Category Initial Cost Years Annual Cost
Software System $1,000,000 25 $40,000
Annual Licensing & Maint. $25,000 1 $25,000
Total $65,000
Based upon the items needed to provided development-related services, the annual technology-related costs are approximately $65,000 for the City of Calimesa.

The City currently assesses this fee as 0.043% of the permit valuation and is only applicable on Building Permits. By assessing the fee on valuation, it excludes the other development-related activities that may be part of the City’s future permitting system.

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 62
Additionally, the most defensible methodology for assessing the fee is based proportionately on the percentage of the permit fee, as the greater the permit fee, the greater the Technology Fee as there is more software utilization and storage space for larger projects.

Therefore, the project team took the total Technology Annual Cost and divided it by the annual fee-related cost associated with Building, Planning, Engineering, and Fire. The following table shows this calculation:

Table 27: Technology Fee Calculation
Category Amount
Total Technology Annual Cost $65,000
Total Projected Development Annual Cost $1,221,368
Technology Fee as % of Permit Fee 5%
Based upon this calculation, the City’s full cost Technology fee would be 5% of the permit fee. Therefore, if a permit fee was $100, the Technology fee collected would be $5; whereas if a permit fee was $1,000; the Technology fee collected would be $50. This type of structure enables the Technology fee to be more proportionately distributed based upon the projects and their impact upon the system.

As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of a Technology Fee. Like other comparative efforts, the survey below simply shows the fees charged by the jurisdiction and does not include the basis upon which the other jurisdictions calculated or developed their fee. The following table shows the results of this comparative analysis:

Table 28: Technology Fee – Comparative Survey
Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Banning 2.5% of Permit Fees
Beaumont 3.29% of Permit Fees
Hemet 5% of Permit Fees
Redlands 2% of Permit Fees
San Jacinto 1% of Permit Fees (Max $50)
Of the surveyed jurisdictions, all charge their technology fee as a percentage of the permit fee and do not utilize valuation as the basis. The City of Hemet at 5% most closely matches the City’s full cost calculated at 5%.

3 Surcharge Funds
It is a best practice to collect and account for General Plan Maintenance and Technology surcharges in separate accounts. The City of Calimesa already follows this best practice and should continue to collect these fees separately to help fund future activities.

13. Cost Recovery Considerations
The following sections provide guidance regarding how and where to increase fees, determining annual update factors, and developing cost recovery policies and procedures.
1 Fee Adjustments
This study has documented and outlined on a fee-by-fee basis where the City is under and over collecting for its fee-related services. City and Department management will now need to review the results of the study and adjust fees in accordance with Departmental and City philosophies and policies. The following dot points outline the major options the City has in adjusting its fees.
• Over-Collection: Upon review of the fees that were shown to be over-collecting for costs of services provided, the City should reduce the current fee to be in line with the full cost of providing the service.
• Full Cost Recovery: For fees that show an under-collection for costs of services provided, the City may decide to increase the fee to full cost recovery immediately. • Phased Increase: For fees with significantly low-cost recovery levels, or which would have a significant impact on the community, the City could choose to increase fees gradually over a set period of time.

The City will need to review the results of the fee study and associated cost recovery levels and determine how best to adjust fees. While decisions regarding fees that currently show an over-recovery are fairly straight forward, the following subsections, provide further detail on why and how the City should consider either implementing Full Cost Recovery or a Phased Increase approach to adjusting its fees. 1 Full Cost Recovery
Based on the permit or review type, the City may wish to increase the fee to cover the full cost of providing services. Certain permits may be close to cost recovery already, and an increase to full cost may not be significant. Other permits may have a more significant increase associated with full cost recovery.

Increasing fees associated with permits and services that are already close to full cost recovery can potentially bring a Department’s overall cost recovery level higher. Often,

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 65
these minimal increases can provide necessary revenue to counterbalance fees which are unable to be increased.

The City should consider increasing fees for permits for which services are rarely engaged to full cost recovery. These services often require specific expertise and can involve more complex research and review due to their infrequent nature. As such, setting these fees at full cost recovery will ensure that when the permit or review is requested, the City is recovering the full cost of its services.
2 Phased Increases
Depending on current cost recovery levels some current fees may need to be increased significantly in order to comply with established or proposed cost recovery policies. Due to the type of permit or review, or the amount by which a fee needs to be increased, it may be best for the City to use a phased approach to reaching their cost recovery goals.

As an example, you may have a current fee of $200 with a full cost of $1,000, representing 20% cost recovery. If the current policy is 80% cost recovery, the current fee would need to increase by $600, bringing the fee to $800, in order to be in compliance. Assuming this particular service is something the City provides quite often, and affects various members of the community, an instant increase of $600 may not be feasible. Therefore, the City could take a phased approach, whereby it increases the fee annually over a set period until cost recovery is achieved.

Raising fees over a set period of time not only allows the City to monitor and control the impact to applicants, but also ensure that applicants have time to adjust to significant increases. Continuing with the example laid out above, the City could increase the fee by $150 for the next four years, spreading out the increase. Depending on the desired overall increase, and the impact to applicants, the City could choose to vary the number of years by which it chooses to increase fees. However, the project team recommends that the City not phase increases for periods greater than five years, as that is the maximum window for which a comprehensive fee assessment should be completed. 2 Annual Adjustments
Conducting a comprehensive analysis of fee-related services and costs annually would be quite cumbersome and costly. The general rule of thumb for comprehensive fee analyses is between three and five years. This allows for jurisdictions to ensure they account for organizational changes such as staffing levels and merit increases, as well as process efficiencies, code or rule changes, or technology improvements.

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 66
Developing annual update mechanisms allow jurisdictions to maintain current levels of cost recovery, while accounting for increases in staffing or expenditures related to permit services. The two most common types of update mechanisms are Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) factors. The following points provide further detail on each of these mechanisms.
• COLA / Personnel Cost Factor: Jurisdictions often provide their staff with annual salary adjustments to account for increases in local cost of living. These increases are not tied to merit or seniority, but rather meant to offset rising costs associated with housing, gas, and other livability factors. Sometimes these factors vary depending on the bargaining group of a specific employee. Generally, these factors are around two or three percent annually.
• CPI Factor: A common method of increasing fees or cost is to look at regional cost indicators, such as the Consumer Price Index. These factors are calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, put out at various intervals within a year, and are specific to states and regions.

The City of Calimesa should review its current options internally (COLA) as well as externally (CPI) to determine which option better reflects the goals of the Department and the City. If choosing a CPI factor, the City should outline which CPI should be used, including specific region, and adoption date. If choosing an internal factor, again, the City should be sure to specify which factor if multiple exist. 3 Policies and Procedures
This study has identified areas where the City is under-collecting the cost associated with providing services. This known funding gap is therefore being subsidized by other City revenue sources.

Development of cost recovery policies and procedures will serve to ensure that current and future decision makers understand how and why fees were determined and set, as well as provide a road map for ensuring consistency when moving forward. The following subsections outline typical cost recovery levels and discuss the benefits associated with developing target cost recovery goals and procedures for achieving and increasing cost recovery.

1 Typical Cost Recovery
The Matrix Consulting Group has extensive experience in analyzing local government operations across the United States and has calculated typical cost recovery ranges. The following table outlines these cost recovery ranges by major service area.

Table 29: Typical Cost Recovery Ranges by Major Service Area Service Areas Typical Cost Recovery Ranges
City Clerk 20-40%
Finance 20-40%
Fire 50-80%
Building 80-100%
Planning 50-80%
Public Works 70-100%
Information presented in the table above is based on the Matrix Consulting Group’s experience in analyzing local governments’ operations across the United States and within California and reflects typical cost recovery ranges observed by local adopting authorities. The following graph depicts how Calimesa compares to industry cost recovery range standards.

addressing the proposed modifications within each department and evaluating increases or decreases to fees where appropriate will result in aligning these departments within typical cost recovery ranges.
2 Development of Cost Recovery Policies and Procedures
The City should review the current cost recovery levels and adopt a formal policy regarding cost recovery. This policy can be general in nature and can apply broadly to the City as a whole, or to each department and division specifically. A department specific cost recovery policy would allow the City to better control the cost recovery associated with different types of services being provided and the community benefit received.

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 69
Appendix – Comparative Survey
As part of the Cost of Services (User Fee) study for the City of Calimesa, Matrix Consulting Group conducted a comparative survey of user fees. The City identified eight jurisdictions to be included in the comparative survey: Banning, Beaumont, Canyon Lake, Hemet, Loma Linda, Redlands, San Jacinto, and Yucaipa.

While this report will provide the City with a reasonable estimate and understanding of the true costs of providing services, many jurisdictions also wish to consider the local “market rates” for services as a means for assessing what types of changes in fee levels their community can bear. However, a comparative survey does not provide adequate information regarding the relationship of a jurisdiction’s cost to its fees.

The following sections detail various factors to consider when reviewing comparative survey results, as well as graphical comparisons of current fees and total calculated costs for various permits issued or services provided by the City. 1 Economic Factors
To provide additional context to the comparative survey information, the project team collected economic factors for the jurisdictions included. Three important economic factors to consider when comparing fees across multiple jurisdictions are: population, budget, and workforce size. As these factors impact how and when fees are administered. As a jurisdiction with a smaller population may choose to not charge a fee, likewise, a smaller workforce size may inhibit their ability to administer a fee. The following tables rank each jurisdiction from smallest to largest for each of these economic factors:

Overall, the City of Calimesa is on the lowest end for each economic factor when compared to surveyed jurisdictions. Canyon Lake has the closest comparable economic factors, followed by the City of Yucaipa.
2 Recency Factor
While the above comparative information can provide some perspective when paralleling Calimesa’s fees with surveyed jurisdictions, other key factors to consider are when a jurisdiction’s fee schedule was last updated and when the last comprehensive analysis was undertaken. The following tables detail when each surveyed jurisdiction last conducted a fee analysis and when they last updated their fee schedule.

Five of the eight jurisdictions surveyed have completed fee studies in the last five years.

With the exception of Redlands and San Jacinto, all other jurisdictions have updated their fee schedules with a CPI or other growth factor within the last two years.

It is important to note that even though jurisdictions may have conducted fee studies, fees are not always adopted at full cost recovery. The comparative results only show the adopted fee for the surveyed jurisdictions not necessarily the full cost associated with the comparable service.
3 Additional Factors
Along with keeping the statistics outlined in the previous sections in mind, the following issues should also be noted regarding the use of market surveys in the setting of fees for service:
9 The City of Redlands is currently undergoing a fee study and is looking to adopt new fees and the study next year.

DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 72
• Each jurisdiction and its fees are different, and many are not based on the actual cost of providing services as various policy decision may subsidize services. • The same “fee” with the same name may include more or less steps or subactivities. In addition, jurisdictions provide varying levels of service and have varying levels of costs associated with providing services such as staffing levels, salary levels, indirect overhead costs, etc.

In addition to the issues noted, market surveys can also run the risk of creating a confusing excess of data that will obscure rather than clarify policy issues. Because each jurisdiction is different, the Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the information contained in the market comparison of fees be used as a secondary decision-making tool, rather than a tool for establishing an acceptable price point for services. 4 Comparative Survey Results
As part of this study, the project team conducted a survey of how the City’s current user fees and calculated full cost compare to other similarly sized and regionally located jurisdictions. The following subsections provide a comparative look at several fee-related services provided by the City.
1 Business License – New and In-Town
Finance proposed the addition of a Business License application fee for business in-town looking to acquire a new business license. Through this study, the project team calculated the full cost of the application to be $148. The following graph shows how Calimesa’s full cost compares to surveyed jurisdictions.

With the exception of Canyon Lake which charges $151 for a new business license application, the calculated full cost at $148 is the highest; and both are above the jurisdictional average of $91. Hemet and San Jacinto charge their fee differently. Hemet charges an application fee ranging from $19 to $254, depending on the type of business applying for the license. San Jacinto charges an annual fee based on the number of fulltime employees which is then added to an $80 base fee. 2 SFR Fire Sprinkler Plan Review & Inspection: 10 Heads, New Fire proposed the addition of a fee to plan review and inspect a new, 10 head, fire sprinkler system at a single-family residence. Through this study, the project team calculated the full cost of the plan review ($433) and inspection ($351) to be $784. The following graph shows how Calimesa’s full cost compares to surveyed jurisdictions. The dark blue represents plan check, while the light blue represents inspection.

The calculated full cost is above the jurisdictional average of $509, and in line with the fee charged by the City of Yucaipa ($709). Loma Linda and Hemet charge the most at $975 and $920, respectively. Loma Linda and Yucaipa charge a single fee for plan check and inspection.
3 Above Ground Storage Tank Plan Review & Inspection
Fire proposed a fee to plan review and inspect an aboveground storage tank. Through this study, the project team calculated the full cost of the plan review ($433) and inspection ($562) to be $995.

4 Fire Alarm System Plan Check & Inspection: 11 Devices, New Fire proposed a fee to plan review and inspect a new, 11 device, fire alarm system.

Through this study, the project team calculated the full cost of the plan review ($649) and inspection ($702) to be $1,352. The following graph shows how Calimesa’s full cost compares to surveyed jurisdictions. The dark blue represents plan check, while the light blue represents inspection.

The calculated full cost at $1,352 is the highest fee, followed by Yucaipa ($1,042), Loma Linda ($965), and Hemet ($782); and all are above the jurisdictional average of $779.

Additionally, Loma Linda and Yucaipa all charge a single fee for plan check and inspection.
