Proposed Budget
It is recommended that City Council approve a budget of $12,901,224 for the Community Development department. This represents a decrease of $1,788,714 (-12.2%) from the FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget.

The increase in compensation and benefits is due to requests for a Housing Senior Planner, a Planning Senior Planner, an Office Assistant, an Associate Planner, and a Code Enforcement Officer. The decrease in one-time projects offset the increase from the additional staff requests.

Program Overview
The Current Planning program serves to review projects and implement City ordinances, land use plans and the General Plan goals and objectives through the planning review and building plan check processes.

Service Objectives
Maintain a high level of customer service.

Provide assistance at the public counter, over the telephone, or via email.

Implement the City's General Plan, land use plans and Zoning Ordinance.

Evaluate Planning applications for consistency with City ordinance, General Plan goals, and applicable State and Federal regulations.

Coordinate internal review of Planning applications with other City departments.

Conduct environmental review of projects in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and applicable regional, State and Federal regulations.

Provide technical analysis and recommendations to the Council, Planning Commission and Design Review Committee.

Review building permits to ensure implementation of zoning requirements, environmental mitigation measures and planning entitlement conditions of approval.

Proposed Budget
It is recommended that City Council approve a budget of $3,132,994 for the Current Planning program. This represents a decrease of $448,588 (-12.5%) from the FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget.

The decrease is due to a one-time request of $500,000 for Special Projects which was budgeted in FY 2021-22 for the Vallco SB35 project's legal fees and contracts. Any balance will be carried over into FY 2022-23.

The decrease in one-time projects is offset by additional staffing requests for portions of four new positions: a Planning Senior Planner (0.75), a Housing Senior Planner (0.10), an Associate Planner (0.25), and an Office Assistant (0.50).
