RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
ESTABLISHING UPDATED PLANNING PERMIT FEES
PURSUANT TO CITY ADOPTED ORDINANCE 880
WHEREAS,
1. Planning Permit fees in the City of Ukiah have not been updated since 1996;
and
2. In 1996, when the City last updated its planning permit fees, it was understood
that even with the increase, the fees would not cover the costs of processing the
permits; and
3. Processing planning permit applications has become more complex and time
consuming in recent years due to changes in State mandated procedures, increased
citizen involvement, an increase in infill development, the demand for higher quality
planning analysis, and the emergence of typical growth pains, such as, traffic congestion
drainage issues, and the change in community character; and
4. The increase in planning permit fees in 1996 accounted for staff salaries and not
staff benefits, and therefore did not reflect the total cost to process the permits; and
5. A recently completed Planning Permit Fee Study reveals that the planning fees
collected by the City of Ukiah are less than nearby jurisdictions, and only recapture
approximately 36% of the total cost to process the permits; and
6. The City desires to recover approximately 75 percent of the total costs for
processing the majority of planning permit applications, while at the same time reducing
the cost of minor permits to accurately reflect the cost to process these small projects;
and
7. The City desires to recover a portion of the costs associated with various
planning and zoning related services previously provided at no cost; and
8. The City desires to establish a "double fee" charge for projects undertaken
without the benefit of required planning permits after the second offense; and
9. The City desires to establish the price of planning documents, studies, maps and
other materials; and
10. The City desires to provide an incentive to affordable housing projects by not
increasing the current fees for projects involving 100% of the housing units to be
"locked-in" affordable to citizens earning less than 80% of the area median income,
"sweat-equity" residential projects, residential second units, and projects involving
housing for identified groups in need such as seniors, homeless persons, and the
mentally ill.
