Summary of Changes Other than CPI
FY 27 Summary of Changes Other than CPI
Building and Safety
1. Garage – New Plan Check and Inspection (pg. 20): Add a square footage escalator for garages exceeding 1,501 SF to account for the additional staff time needed to complete these activities. The proposed cost is in line with the Carport per-square- foot cost for exceeding 500 square feet. This cost was calculated by dividing the up to 500 SF cost by 500 SF . Using this methodology, the proposed cost is lower than the per-square-foot calculation for the Garage - New.
2. Carport Building Plan Check and Inspection (pg.21): was written as 32.20 and
90.15 per square foot, respectively. This cost was originally calculated per 100 square feet and should be $0.32 and $0.90 per square foot, as Building and Safety has been charging. This correction clarifies that these numbers are in cents and not dollars.
3. Solar (pg.24): Solar permit fees are assessed in accordance with California Government Code § 66015. Separate permits and fees are required for structural work and non-solar systems associated with solar installations, including carports, ground-mounted support systems, exterior lighting, and electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment, regardless of whether such work or systems are installed solely to support or serve the solar installation.
a. Language is to be added to clarify that additional work may be required to complete the solar permit and to reference the applicable government code
4. Permit with Planning Approval (pg. 28): Change Building Inspection to Actual cost to be in line with the other building inspection fees.
5. Citywide Hourly Rates (pg. 2): Add new position Development Review Coordinator.
6. Project Review Coordination Service Deposit (pg. 26): Add fee for new service.
Engineering
1. Citywide Hourly Rates (pg. 2): Add Senior Civil Engineer and Civil Engineering Assistant to be able to charge for these newer positions.
2. Haul Permit Security Deposit (pg. 31): Remove this fee. This fee was intended to be used if a hauling contractor dumped a load on the street and failed to pick it up.
This deposit is collected but has never been used to clean up the mess, and the deposit is fully refunded. Haul permits are issued only for active grading permits, so the City can have the mess cleaned, if necessary, through the grading bond.
Because this deposit is never used as a fee and is refundable, it is currently using up staff time with nothing in return.
Planning
1. Add In-lieu Parking Fee (pg. 38): This fee was adopted with Resolution 19-4053 as an amendment to the Fiscal-Year 2018-2019 Fee Schedule but was never added to the Fee Schedule document.
2. Street Names (pg. 39): Add back part of the fee name that was inadvertently omitted on the last update.
3. Add Revolving Loan Fee (pg. 39): Add an application fee and loan origination fee.
These fees are related to the Revolving Loand Fund program that is to provide early- stage financing for affordable housing units in the city of Murrieta.
4. Tentative Maps (pg. 40): Revise which footnotes are applicable on several fees.
Fire
1. Misc. Fees (pg. 44): Change the fees below to be consistent with Engine Company Standby hourly, per engine, since they were calculated using the same staff for the hourly charge.
a. Lift Assist Home Care Facility
b. Drunk Driving Accident Cost Recovery
2. Misc. Fees (pg. 44): Revise language from “Drunk Driving Accident Cost Recovery” to “Impaired Accident Cost Recovery to include all types of impairment. Revise language from Update “Medic Patrol Standby, per engine” to “Medic Patrol Standby, per apparatus” , to accurately reflect the use of fire vehicles not classified as engines.
3. Misc. Fees (pg. 44): Add Truck Company Fee for the ladder truck, which is like Engine Company Standby but needs an additional firefighter.
4. Add Expedite Plan Check Fee (pg. 44): Building has one for 50% of the plan check fee, so the fee was established the same.
5. Permits (pg. 45): Remove “residential” from “Fire Alarm Permit – Residential and Commercial - per year”. We don’t currently charge for residential fire alarm permits.
6. Add Section for Without Necessary Permits Fees (pg. 48): Fee is already established in MMC 15.24.060.
7. Add section for Violation Penalties (pg. 48): from MMC 15.24.120 Police
1. Civil Subpoena Deposit (pg. 49): Changed from $150 to $275 to be consistent with Government Code 68097.2(b) and the same fee in the Miscellaneous section.
Parks and Recreation
1. Instructor-led classes (pg. 59): The fee in the current fee schedule is a large range that we are proposing to change to “Instructor sets the rate” as that is how the amount is currently set.
2. Citywide hourly rates (pg. 2): Add Fully Burdened Hourly Rates for Senior Recreation Supervisor and Senior Recreation Coordinator. The positions were recently added. Remove Special Events Coordinator. Senior Recreation Supervisor replaced it.
3. Reorganized the entire Parks and Recreation section to be more cohesive. All fees remained the same; they were just grouped/presented differently.
Miscellaneous
1. Electrical Vehicle Charging (pg. 64): Increasing rate more than CPI. The city is not recovering enough costs based on the original projection. A revised cost analysis was prepared to change the fee from $0.23 per kWh to $0.29 per kWh.
2. Community Facilities Districts (pg. 64): Turn the Community Facilities District Formation deposit into three separate fees and increase based on various actual costs
Downtown Application Fee
1. Add Development Impact Fee to Reduction (pg. 71): Resolution No. 18-3909 approved the Downtown Development Impact Fee Reduction Program, which went along with the Downtown Application Fee Reduction Program that was already in the fee schedule. Language was added to the fee schedule to include development impact fees, which were approved for reduction at the same rate as application fees.
