Adopt the attached ordinance to amend Section 3210 of the Fort Worth Building Code, City Code Section 7-47 to restore administrative approval provisions for certain encroachments on public property to be approved by the Building Official or the Director of Development; 2. Establish a tiered fee structure for this service; and 3.

DISCUSSION: The Building Code was amended effective July 1, 2001, (M&C G-13262) to require that "all permanent encroachments into public property shall require a duly executed Consent Agreement approved by City Council." Prior to this update, the Building Code Amendments included the following exceptions to this requirement for City Council approval: 1. The Building Official is hereby authorized to execute Consent Agreements on behalf of the City covering signs that do not project more than two feet over public property when all requirements of this Code, the Sign Code and the Comprehensive Zoning Code have been satisfied. 2. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute Consent Agreements on behalf of the City, except as provided in Exception No. 1 above, when the encroachment beyond the property line extends no closer than within 18 inches of the face of the curb." This change was prompted by a City Council concern about a downtown patio project in 1999 that was approved administratively and generated a citizen complaint. The unintended consequence of this change is that minor items such as replacement of existing building projections, fences, and steps and new signs and awnings all require Council approval. The result is an increase in the average processing time from less than 30 calendar days to approximately 45 calendar days causing delays in the issuance of building permits. Each year, an estimated 25 encroachment agreements are presented on the City Council consent agenda. Of these, approximately half would have been exempt from City Council review under the previous policy. Since the new rules were established, the department has observed a significant increase in the installation of signs prior to issuance of permits as business owners become frustrated with the Logname: SSSPINKS RAMP Page 1 of 2 delays. Adequate building codes, inspection personnel and other professional staff exist to ensure the appropriateness of encroachments in the right-of-way. Staff recommends that the previous exceptions to the requirement for Council approval be restored except that the Development Director will be substituted for City Manager in the second exception. Currently, the Development Director consults with a committee including a Transportation and Public Works representative and the Building Official to make a recommendation to the City Manager's Office. It is proposed that the Director of Development be authorized to execute the agreements following this consultation. If this proposed change is approved, the Building Official may authorize sign encroachments up to two feet. The Development Director may authorize all encroachments up to 18 inches behind the face of the curb. The City Council will only consider encroachments into the street and alleys that exceed 18 inches behind the face of the curb. This will save time for City staff, the City Council, and the applicants who are affected by the delays in the issuance of their building permit. The fee for encroachments previously was tiered depending on the level of approval and staff time required. With the 2001 change in the ordinance, only the $450 fee remained since all encroachments require City Council approval. This rate was increased to $500 in 2003. Following are the proposed authority levels and corresponding fees. Approval Building Official Development Director City Council Fee $170.00 $200.00 $500.00 Any loss in revenue is expected to be less than $5,000 annually and will be offset by more efficient use of staff time. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
