STAFF REPORT

Mayor and City council
city Attorney
FROM:
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Adding Chapter 2A to Article IX
of the Santa Monica Municipal Code to Allow the
City Council to Increase Planning, Zoning, and
Land Use Fees by Resolution
At its meeting on February 2, 1988, the City Council
directed the city Attorney to prepare resolutions and ordinances
to implement various fee increases.
In response to this
direction, the first ordinance necessary to implement this
direction is presented to the City Council for its consideration.
Currently,
fees for the filing and processing of
applications with the Planning Department are contained in a
variety of ordinances. In order to eliminate the need to adopt
ordinances every time planning fees are increased, the
accompanying ordinance would add section 9210 to the Municipal
Code authorizing the City Council to establish fees by
resolution. Upon the adoption of this ordinance, a resolution
will be returned to the City Council setting forth specific fee
increases as approved by the City Council at its meeting on
February 2, 1988.
