RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA ASSIGNING EXISTING SERVICE APPLICATION FEES FOR TINY HOMES ON WHEELS WHEREAS, Housing Element Program H6, Innovative Housing Options, identifies the need to reduce regulatory barriers for Tiny Homes on Wheels and to allow them to be permitted in a manner similar to Accessory Dwelling Units; and WHEREAS, reduced fees support the City’s housing objectives by expanding innovative housing options and encouraging the development of lowercost housing solutions that help address housing affordability and homelessness; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66014 provides that when a local agency charges fees for filing and processing applications for building and planning services, such fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, and may include costs reasonably necessary to prepare and revise plans and policies required to make applicable findings and determinations; and WHEREAS, the existing Minor Conditional Use Permit application fee for “Residential Fence, Food Trucks, Home Occupations (nonexempt), and All Personal Services,” as published in the City’s Fee Schedule, last updated January 5, 2026, and as amended from time to time, shall be applied to Minor Conditional Use Permit applications for Tiny Homes on Wheels; and WHEREAS, the application fee applied to Minor Conditional Use Permit applications for Tiny Homes on Wheels reflects the reasonable anticipated cost of City staff time and resources required to review, process, and make findings on such applications, and therefore complies with Government Code Section 66014.
