STAFF REPORT
Page 1 of 2
On June 21, 1983, the Mayor and Common Council adopted
Resolution No. 83-201, which set a fixed fee for landscape plan
review. This fee has since been revised as part of an update of
fees collected by the various departments within the City.
Presently the fee is $100. In July of 1985, the Mayor and
Common Council adopted a resolution providing for on-site plan
check and inspection. This resolution made it possible for the
Public Works inspection staff to provide inspection outside the
public right of way for on-site "hardscape" improvements. Ori-
ginally set up as a calculated fee based on footages of various
types of improvement, it was amended in August of 1988 to become
a percentage of the construction costs. Plan check was set at
0.30% and permit inspection set at 0.25% of the estimated cost
of the improvements. These numbers were selected to approximate
the then current charges and in no way reflected the actual cost
of providing the service. In fact, Resolution No. 88-284 sets
forth that shortages shall be made up out of the City General
Fund.
At present, fees for the plan check and inspection for
off-site improvements are set at 2% and 1.5% respectively.
These fees also do not cover actual costs but were established
at the "average" of surrounding cities as of 1987, and they
represent about 35% - 40% recovery of actual costs incurred.
In January of 1988, a policy paper was issued for
landscaping. All City Departments have since been required to
comply with this policy paper. The paper sets forth that plans
are to be submitted to the Department of Public Works and that
copies will be distributed to the Parks and Recreation and
Planning Departments for review and comment, in order to assure
that requested information or comments are addressed prior to
approval of the final plan. Also, to assure that all conditions
are met prior to release of Certificate of Occupancy and release
of bonds. Addi tionally, Public Works staff, as well as Parks
and Recreation staff, must provide inspection services for these
landscape improvements. The present $100 review fee does not
begin to cover the actual expense of this service.
The attached resolutions and ordinance are structured to
delete the landscape plan review fee in Resolution No. 83-201
and amendments, place the plan check fee in Section 15.04.175 of
the Municipal code and provide for inspection fees to be
collected by authority of 15.04.177 of the Municipal Code and to
amend Resolution No. 88-284 by increasing the plan check fee
from 0.30% to 2% and the inspection/permit fee from 0.25% to
1. 0%.
Plan check for on site or off site improvements are
equal in nature; that is, both
expertise and the same amount
therefore, the costs should be the

there generally are no project specifications to follow and full
inspection is not required. However, a polling of our
inspectors indicates that a good portion of time is spent on on-
site inspections and that the level of service is approximately
70% of what is provided for public works improvements in the
public right of way.
At their meeting of 9-20-90, the Legislative Review Com-
mittee recommended that these amendments be approved.
Section 54992 of the Government Code requires that a
public meeting be held to receive oral or written presentations
before levying any new fee or service charge. This public
meeting must be held during a regularly scheduled Council
meeting. We recommend that a public meeting be scheduled for
the Council meeting of 11-5-90.
