APPROVED AS TO FORM A.ND LEGALITY: Assistant City ttorney ADOPTED: ~ ~ ~- ~ EFFECTNE: S ~i~y of Fort fi~l~ar~h, Texas Mayor and Council Communication SUBJECT: Adoption of Ordinance Increasing Fees for Development Application and Services for the Development Department RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance establishing various fees related to: 1) Annexation and miscellaneous fees with an effective date of January 3, 2004; and 2} Zoning and City Council variances fee with an effective date of January 13, 2004; and 3) Plat and applications fees with an effective date of January 27, 2004. DISCUSSION: During budget deliberations and approval of the FY2003-2004 budget, a number of improvements were included in the Development Department's budget. Those improvements included addition of staffing, increased technology applications and work space improvements. These improvements will require adjustments in the department's existing fee structure. The adjustments in fees related to platting, zoning and other miscellaneous services are the first adjustment since 1990. The proposed adjustment will more closely cover the direct costs to provide the associated services. The rate increases are generally a 10°fo increase in platting and annexation fees. The platting fees are being adjusted to reflect direct costs of the City and increased filing fees required by Tarrant County. This fee structure also addresses services that are new since the last fee adoption. This includes a new fee for limited purpose annexation, verification letters and charges for variances that require City Council consideration. Additionally, the proposed schedule increases the sidewalk and street rental fees {temporary encroachments necessary to construct a project} by 50°l~. .. .. ~ _.
