CITY MANAGER' SREPORT
OCTOBER 14, 2024 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
ITEM: APPROVE PLANNING FEE WAIVER REQUEST BY
HOME CHURCH ( TUP- 24- 138)
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution Waiving the Temporary Use Permit Application Processing and Document
Retention Fees for Home Church, in the Combined
Amount of $ 392
SUMMARY:
Home Church will be hosting their annual " Love Our City Fall Fest" event on Saturday October 19, 2024 at their Lathrop location ( 17261 S. Manthey Road). The event will take place outdoors in the church parking lot, which includes rides & inflatables, booths and games.
Home Church has submitted a letter ( Attachment 2) requesting the City waive the Temporary Use Permit ( TUP) application processing fee of $ 382, and the document retention fee of $ 10 ($ 392) because they are providing a public benefit by hosting an event that is free for the community to attend.
BACKGROUND:
Home Church submitted a Temporary Use Permit application for their annual 2024 Fall Harvest event. The event included amenities for guests, included rides and inflatables as well as carnival booths, games, and pre-ackaged candy for kids of all ages. The event hours were from 4: 00 P. M. to 6: 00 P. M. This is a free event that provides activities for the community to participate in and enjoy.
Last year, the City approved a TUP, permitting a similar event held at the same location. The City has consistently approved various community events for Home Church ( formerly Thrive Church) since 2016. The City Council has approved similar requests from non- profit groups that sponsored events for the community. The 392, includes both application processing and document retention fees.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to waive the Temporary Use Permit Application and Document Retention Fees, and make findings that the fee waiver supports a public benefit to the community, and that the amount of the fee waiver is de- minimis in nature, and is not subsidized by other facility fees.
