The attached memorandum of August 3, 1982, from the Policy Development Director describes the Administration's recom- mendation with regards to this matter. After due consideration of the recommendations, the Committee preliminarily recommends the adoption of the revised fee schedule subject to public comment and review at a public meeting • which should be held on August 23, 1982. Subject to public comment, the only revision the Committee suggests in the proposed fee schedule is establishing the filing fee for appeals of Hearing Examiner decisions or appeals of administrative or environmental decisions be revised to $75 rather than the Administration's recommendation of $125.

NOSE MEM 9 �P August 3, 1982 TE° SEI2 °' BARBARA Y. SHINPOCH MAYOR MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Development Committee FROM: David R. Clemens, Policy Development Director RE: REVISIONS TO ZONING AND SUBDIVISION FILING FEES At the Mayor's request, the Policy Development Department has undertaken a detailedIstudy of the cost of processing Zoning and Subdivision applications. The initial phase of the study focused solely on the costs directly associated with the Planning staff members (including clerical support). We have now expanded that review to include the following Departments: Building (inspection) Fire Marshal Parks and Recreation Police Public Works- Engineering, Traffic Engineering, and Utilities As discussed in my memo of July 16th to the Mayor, and attached to the agenda bill for your review, our initial findings concluded that doubling the base filing fee would cover the cost of the "planning staff" review of the current applications. However, including all of the additional Departments listed above has shown that the City's actual cost is approximately three (3) times our current revenue. The issue is relatively simple, too what extent should the general public defray the cost of development application review by the City? Should new development pay for its full cost of processing? In reviewing the current application structure, approximately one-half of the total fee is comprised of a fixed base fee. In comparing the City's fee structure with other agencies, we a well below some, and comparable to others, but in general , about one-third to one-half of the average. RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the analysis we have just completed, it is recommended that the Fee Schedule Ordinance be revised by increasing the base filing fee for most applications, and adopting a filing fee for administrative appeal appl icati'ons. attachment: Fee Schedule Ordinance proposal cc: Mayor Shinpoch Mike.

RENTON,WASH.98055 ro 9�1.47. EP���O�P August 3, 1982 S BARBARA Y. SHINPOCH MAYOR MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Development Committee FROM: David R. Clemens, Policy Development Director RE: ' REVISIONS TO ZONING AND SUBDIVISION FILING FEES At the Mayor's request, the Policy Development Department has undertaken a detailed study of the cost of processing Zoning and Subdivision applications. The initial phase of the study focused solely on the costs directly associated with the Planning staff members (including clerical support). We have now expanded that review to include the following Departments: Building (inspection) Fire Marshal Parks and Recreation Police Public Works- Engineering, Traffic Engineering, and Utilities As discussed in my memo of July 16th to the Mayor, and attached to the agenda bill for your review, our initial findings concluded that doubling the base filing fee would cover the cost of the "planning staff" review of the current applications. However, including all of the additional Departments listed above has shown that the City's actual cost is approximately three (3) times our current revenue. The issue is relatively simple, too what extent should the general public defray the cost of development application review by the City? Should new development pay for its full cost of processing? In reviewing the current application structure, approximately one-half of the, total fee is comprised of a fixed base fee. In comparing the City's fee structure with other agencies, we a well below some, and comparable to others, but in general , about one-third to one-half of the average. RECOMMENDATION: Based',upon the analysis we have just completed, it is recomended that the Fee Schedule Ordinance be revised by increasing the base filing fee for most applications, and adopting a filing fee for administrative appeal applications. attacfiment: Fee Schedule Ordinance proposal cc: Mayor Shinpoch Mike Parness, Administrative Assistant Mike Mulcahy, Finance Director Ron Nelson, Building Director 1-4101 1 4101 CHAPTER 41 j FEE SCHEDULE • SECTION: 1-4101: Fee Schedule Adopted 1 l 11-4101: FEE SCHEDULE ADOPTED: There is hereby adopted as the Fee Schedule for the City, Title IV (Building Regulations) and Title IX (Public Ways and Property) the following: FEE SCHEDULE • Type of Application Fee Code Section Appeal of Hearing Examiner's Decision or administra- $ 75 4-25 9- 4-3016 tive or environmental decisions Rezone $300 100-.09 plus $10.00 per acre 4-722 (H) Special Permit/Temporary Permit/Conditional Permit $300 9160-.80 plus $10.00 per acre 4-722(H) Site Approval $300 $100.00 plus $5.00 per acre 4-722(H) Comprehensive Plan Amendment $450 4450:09 Waiver $150 4- 0:09 9-1105 6(B) Open Space $ 80,00 set by RCW RCW $50,000.00 Shoreline Management $100 $ SS0..O if value less than 44E000.00 $60700041*- $150.00 if value from $50,000.00 to $100,000.03 $200.00 plus .01% of value over $100,000.00 JGrading and Filling Permits $300 i400:99 plus $25.00 per acre 4-722(H) 582 J L 1 1-4101 1-4101 • Type of Application Fee Code Section Plats: Short Plat, Residential $300 41-25:00 Commercial/Industrial , $ 75 $-25.00 plus $1.00 per 1,000 s Qcare feet (not less than ?75r66) $175 9-1105 1 Tentative Plat $150 4-50760-plus $2.00 per acre 9-1106 1(A) Preliminary $300 $100 plus $8.00 per lot 9-1106 2(A) Preliminary Industrial $600 $200790plus $1.00 per 1,000 square feet of land area 9-1106 2(A) Final $225 $4500plus $4.00 per lot 9-1106 3(B) Final Industrial $375 $i-25:9(-plus $10.00 per acre 9-1106 3(B) Environmental Impact Review No change, recently revised Environmental Checklist $ 55.00 if value less than $10,000.00 Review/Threshold Determination $ 60.00 plus $1.00 per $10,000.00 if value greater than $10,000.00 4-2814 Pre-Draft Consultation Report $100.00 plus $25.00 per acre 4-2814 Environmental Impact Statement Draft and Final (Costs of $100 plus equivalent of City Coordination and Review) costs incurred 4-2814 Environmental sensitive lands or lands covered by water 114 times the above listed fees 4-2814 Mobile Home Parks Tentative $150 $-50700-plus $1.00 per acre 4-2003 1(A) Preliminary $300 $496-0O-plus $5.00 per lot _ 4-2004 1 Final $150 S-50700 plus $2.50 per lot 4-2005 2 PUD Tentative $100.00 plus $10.00 per acre 4-2710 4 Preliminary $750 4259fl8-plus $20.00 per acre with $1,000.00 maximum 4-2710 3 Final Plan $750 4256{)6-plus $20.00 per acre 4-2710 6 (Ord. 3515, 3-2-81) Annexation No change, recent $200.00 for 10% petition Res. 2429 adoption $300.00 for 75% petition Res. 2429 Lot Line Adjustment No change, $ 50.00 for record of survey 9-1104 5(c) (Ord. 3612, 2-22-82) recent adoption Signalization Latecomer No change, recent adoption Agreement Deposit $1,000.00 9-1108 7(P) Street Paving Latecomer No change, recent adoption Agreement Deposit $1,000.00 9-1108 7(Q) (Ord. 3622, 4-19-82) • I .�M,.,/ 582. 1 Renton City Council July 26, 1982 Page 3 Appeal by Mt.

FISCAL IMPACT: Amount Appropriation- ExpenditurelRequired $ Budgeted $ Transfer Required $ SUMMARY (Background information, prior action and effect of implementation) (Attach additional pages if necessary. ) The Policy Development Department has prepared a preliminary analysis of ',the cost of processing zoning and subdivision applications. This analysis suggests that only a fraction of the City' s actual costs are recovered in the filing fee. A comparison with other agencies also finds our fees lagging behind. Since no fee revision has occurred during the past 6 years, the Plan- ning and Development Committee should recommend revisions to the fee structure commensurate with the City's actual cost of providing the service.

Clemens, Policy Development Director RE: III Analysis of Zoning and Subdivision Fees One of the major projects set out as a 1982 objective by the Policy Development Department was to provide a detailed analysis of the cost of processing zoning and subdivision applications and the amount of that cost which is covered by filing fees. We have completed the detailed analysis for 1981 and preliminary analysis for the first • half of 1982, and have drawn the following conclusions: 1. Even using conservative estimates of personnel costs, current zoning and subdivision fees will cover less than one-half of the total real cost of processing these fees. 2. There has been no comprehensive revision to the zoning and subdivision filing ,fees since the Hearing Examiner process was introduced. During that time, the cost of services provided by the City of Renton have risen by 76%. 3. 'The review of other agencies zoning and subdivision fees indicates that the City \of Renton is currently charging about one-half of the average total filing fee. As a result of these findings, the Policy Development Department has commenced a more detailed analysis. of the City's real cost for processing zoning and subdivision applica',tions including the cost of other departments besides Building and Zoning. We believe' that this detailed analysis will indicate that the City's filing fee structure covers Only about one-third of the actual cost of providing permit review services. The review process also indicates that appeals of Hearing Examiner decisions (which have a low filing fee), and appeals of administrative decisions (which have no filing fee) have represented a significant drain on the City's resources with no compensation. We believe that the detailed analysis which we are currently undertaking will provide us with\ sufficient justification to establish more rigorous filing fees for these two appeal processes. I ; • . I Barbara Y. Shinpoch, Mayor July 16, 1982 Page Two The I attached table summarizes 1982 application fees for the months January through May., If the City had implemented an increase in the filing fees on January 1st to double the base fee, the City would have accrued some $3,550 worth of additional fees thusfar, or approximately $7,000 extrapolated for the entire year. If the City had doubled both the base and the variable fee on January 1st, the City would have accrued nearly $15,000 in additional fees in 1982. As a part of the 1983 budget process, the Policy Development Department will recommend revisions to the zoning and subdivision filing fee structure consistent with the City's actual cost of processing zoning and subdivision applications. Attached is our analysis of the 1981 costs and revenues for zoning and subdivision processing. cc: I Ronald G. Nelson, Building & Zoning Director Roger J.

' These projects varied in their degree of complexity and in the issues associated with each project. Most of the development applications were filed after the nineteenth of each month and generally the last week of the month. Two factors may explain the varied levels of applications per month. First, permit activities are greatest during the late winter/early spring months and the month of July in preparation for construction activity during the summer/fall months. Secondly, the level of activity is also affected by the ability of potential developers to secure funds for their, projects. The staff time shown on Table 1 represents only the time spent by the Planning Department ' s four professional members. The discrepancy between the number of staff. hours spent ', on applications compared with the number of applications may be explained by the following facts . First, development applications tend to run in a cyclical pattern as explained in the above paragraph. And, secondly, staff man hour peaks differ from application peaks due to 1 ) the tendency for applications being filed at the end of the month so that they are not evenly dispersed throughout the year and 2) the varying complexity of the issues involved in the appli- cation's. Figure 1 lists the staff activities and the typical amount of time spent on each activity for the average, uncom- plicated development application. Depending upon the complexity of the activity, the staff may spend a minimum of thirty-one (31 ) hours or if complex, at least two hundred (200) hours. * Note: Staff time for the months of January, February, and December are not shown since accurate staff records were not available. . i -2- • FIGURE 1 : ACTIVITIES/ESTIMATED MAN HOURS FOR "TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ACTIVITY MAN HOURS • Set-up 2 Distribution of Application to Departments 2 Response to Applicant Inquiries 4 Environmental Review Committee 4 • Legal 2 Typing Legal 1 Staff Reports 2 • .

Table 2 summarizes the number of development appli- cations* by month and by type of application. The three exceptions in the month of March are exceptions from the Subdivision Ordinance. These are now classified as variances. TAB I 3: ADDITIONAL NON-APPLICATION ACTIVITY Table 3 shows the additional non-application activity for 1981 . This activity is broken into the following categories : 1 ) Environmental Impact Statement -- projects requiring environmental impact statements; 2) Exceptions -- projects seeking an exception fromiithe Subdivision Ordinance; and 3) applicants appeals to the Hearing Examiner either of administrative decisions or of environmental determinations required by the City' s Environmental Ordinance. TABLE 4: MAN HOURS PER APPLICATION BY MONTH • Table 4 summarizes the average number of professional staff man hours per application for each month. These hours represent the total professional hours spent on Zoning and Subdivision and Hearing Examiner activities. A comparison of Table, 4 and Figure 1 showsithat the average number of hours spent on applications is nearly the same 26. 66 MH/APP (Table 4) compared to 33 MH (Figure 1 ) . * Development applications in this report refer to those projects in which applicationswere filed and permit fees paid. 1 • • -3- • The figures are derived from separate sets of data which accounts for the slight difference. The estimated amount of time on an application in Figure 1 includes both professional staff time and typing and copying time while the figures of Table 4 represent only the professional staff time spent on applications. The differences in the hours for the months of May through August are explained in part, by the fact that a number of • applications were received during the last weeks of May and July. Thus June and August reflect this by more man hours being spent on applications during these months relative to the number of applications filed. Vacations also in part affect the man hours shown since staff time becomes concentrated around the vacation periods which are not evenly distributed throughout the months. TABLE 5: MAJOR PROJECTS Some major projects have been separated from the staffs normal work file. Table 5 provides an example of some of the hours professional staff of the Planning Department spent on these selected projects . The figures in the table represent • a minimum amount of hours spent on the selected projects since many of the projects were already being reviewed when members began recording their time and the staff did not always separate out all of the hours spent reviewing ,projects from time spent on other activities . TABLE 6: APPLICATION FEES BY MONTH The City collected approximately $18, 200. 00 in Zoning and Subdivision fees during 1981 . Table 5 shows the amount of development application fees received by the City for each month and the total amount of fees for the year. In addition to the application fees, $4 ,408 . 00 were collected to offset costs of the EIS Review. TABLE 7: ESTIMATED COST OF STAFF TIME FOR 1981 APPLICATIONS Table 7 shows the estimated cost of the Planning Department ' s professional and clerical staff time spent on the various applications. The inclusion of clerical staff in this table provides a more accurate estimate of the time spent answering questions and helping clients at the counter as well as typing and copying materials necessary to process applications. TABLE 8: APPLICATION FEE INCH COMPARED WITH STAFF EXPENDITURE Table 8 graphically depicts the relationship between amount of money brought into the City by applications and the amount of money expended for Planning Department ' s professional staff time on the applications. -4- The months of January, February and December show only the amount of application fees received for those months due tq incomplete staff records. TABLE 9: COMPARISON OF RENTON'S DEVELOPMENT FEES WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS • Communities in surrounding jurisdictions charge development fetes similar to the types required by the City of Renton. Table 9 provides a comparison of Renton's fees with those of other communities. The figures in the first column, AVERAGE FOR OTHER AGENCIES, represents approximate averages due to the differences and complexity of fee schedules of some communities and the lack of certain types of fees in other communities. With this limitation noted, the table shows that for most types of development fees Renton is less than surrounding jurisdictions. CONCLUSION The tables presented in this document illustrates the need to increase development application fees. It should be noted that the base fees have not increased since 1976. Since 1976, the City' s cost of service has risen by 76%. The City' s expenditure to process applications in this document represents only the Planning Department staff. Generally, applications require professional and clerical staff time from the Building Division of the Building & Zoning Department, • the Engineering Department, the Hearing Examiner' s office and the City Attorney' s office. If these additional costs were taken into account, the City' s total expenditure as shown on Table 7 (Estimated Cost of Staff Time for 1981 Appli- ca•hions) would be far greater, perhaps as much as - $70, 000. 00 (estimate) instead of $33,800. 00. For 1981 , the application fees received by the City only accounted for a little more than half the expenditure for staff time on the applications. The City' s expenditure is 1 . 86 times greater than the application fees. This figure, of course, would be even greater if this document had included the' staff costs from the other departments. • (1�) 3� - 1� 1 1'yu ,tt E, ;,UV 111/, c SrAl : M►,u kmrti zc►►tmc pubdtgi•to+s (1°SO ► o. aS e6cpriAlc +t►a1. —jco • (I4) 2 - (13) 24° — Olt) NO c.
