A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA MONICA SETTING FEES FOR
PLANNING DIVISION REVIEW OF BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATIONS
WHEREAS it is the policy of the City of Santa Monica to charge for the full
costs of services provided by City Staff when such services benefit individual
users rather than members of the community as a whole; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance Number 1754 (CCS) (the "Ordinance"), adopted
July 12, 1994, governs the setting of the amount of user fees or fees for services
provided to or for the benefit of particular individuals rather than the general
public; and

set by ordinance, by a resolution adopted by the City Councilor by any other
means authorized by law; and
WHEREAS, Resolution Number 9086 (City Council Series) sets one fee
for Planning Division review of all business license applications including those
for home occupation businesses, and
WHEREAS; the costs for providing the review for home occupation
business license applications are typically less than for other businesses;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
MONICA DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
