A surcharge of 25.3% for the General Plan Update also applies. For large projects, the City requires a cost recovery agreement, whereby the fee amount becomes an initial deposit. To determine the initial deposit amount, the City estimates either the required City direct planning labor or has or planning project consultant labor. In these cases, the adopted General Plan Surcharge will be applied one-time to the initial amount of estimated project planning labor hours multiplied by the hourly City planning rate.
At the discretion of the City Planning Manager, multiple permits may be covered by the fee for the highest permit if additional substantial staff time is not required.
Refund shall be calculated as follows:
a) If application has been routed to another division, refund 60% of the permit fee. b) If Planning Commission has been notified or project is considered "complete", refund of 40% of the permit fee.
AUPs will be processed at a staff level, unless written protest is filed, at which point, legal advertisement and public noticing plus staff time to prepare a staff report will be charged to the applicant”.
All fees shall be treated as minimum fees. If service exceeds the minimum fee amount, the Planning Department shall forward a bill for the full amount of the cost to process the permit.
Fee as set by State Fish and Game Department; may be adjusted from time-to-time to reflect State revisions.
This fee shall be waived if processed concurrently with a Use Permit Application.
