City of San Luis Obispo
Council Agenda Correspondence
DATE: July 2, 2024
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Whitney McDonald, Interim City Manager
Emily Jackson, Finance Director
Debbie Malicoat, Deputy Finance Director
SUBJECT: ITEM 7A – REVIEW AND ADOPT REVISED CITYWIDE USER AND
REGULATORY FEES
Staff received the following questions and comments regarding the recommended
updates to the City’s user and regulatory fees. The questions and comments are below
with staff’s response shown in italics:
1) Are there other options for phasing fees other than the option presented in
the staff report?
If the Council would like to consider a phased approach to fee increases, there are
numerous different ways that phasing could occur. As noted in the ‘Alternatives’
section of the Council Agenda Report, staff suggested that fees increasing by more
than 50% and $10 could be phased in over two years, with half of the increase
effective on October 1, 2024 and the second half of the increase effective on July
1, 2025. Attachments A and B to this correspondence provide additional phasing
options for the Council to consider:
Attachment A to this correspondence provides a list of fees that would be impacted
if phasing is based on all fees that exceed 100% and $10 increase.
Attachment B to this correspondence provides a list of fees that would be impacted
if phasing is based on all fees that exceed 150% and $10 increase.
2) What do other jurisdictions charge for appeal fees? Are there
constitutionality issues related to charging appeal fees?
City staff researched appeal fees for the cities that were considered as comparable
jurisdictions in the MGT report (City of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo County,
City of Ventura and City of Monterey) as well as other nearby jurisdictions. The
appeal fees for planning cases are as follows:
Item 7a. Review and Adopt Revised Citywide User and Regulatory Fees Page 2
• City of Santa Barbara
Most planning appeal fees are $1,095
Appeal from Sign Committee is $434
• San Luis Obispo County
Planning appeal fee is $850
Cannabis related appeal is $2,000
• City of Ventura
Planning appeal fee is $1,050
Cannabis related appeal is $3,465
• City of Monterey
Appeal to the Planning Commission is $938.63
Appeal of decision of Planning Commission to the City Council is
$1,835.50
• City of Arroyo Grande
Appeal of Director decision is $800
Appeal of Planning Commission decision is $1,224

$1,000
• City of Morro Bay
Refundable appeal fee is $336 (set at 9.1% cost recovery)
• City of Paso Robles

Appeals to Planning Commission and City Council are $1,035
Item 7a. Review and Adopt Revised Citywide User and Regulatory Fees Page 3
There are not constitutionality issues related to charging appeal fees. The
California Constitution as well as the California Government Code authorize the
City to charge user fees for the estimated reasonable cost of providing various
governmental services. Through comprehensive analysis of the time spent by City
staff in providing these governmental services, the City’s consultant calculated
each fee to recover no more than the reasonable cost of each service.
A number of public comments have been received about the proposed appeal fees
presented in the Council Agenda Report. In the report, staff provided the estimated
full cost to process appeals at different tiers, and also provided proposed appeal
fees at the cost recovery amounts that were previously established by the City
Council in 2017. In 2017, the City Council attempted to balance the desire to
recover the cost of processing appeals, while also not overly encouraging or
discouraging appeals through the pricing of the fee. Staff also provided a table
showing what the appeal fees would be for each tier if they were set at various
percentages of the full cost. This table can help guide City Council discussion on
the setting of appeal fees if the Council would like to consider different percentages
of full cost recovery.
The City Council may wish to consider setting a flat fee for appeals, as it appears
this is the most common way appeal fees are assessed amongst peer and
neighboring jurisdictions. The Council could set an appeal fee that is lower for
appeals from a staff level decision, and higher for appeals from an advisory body,
as those types of projects tend to be more complicated and take more time to
process (this would be similar to the structure in the City of Arroyo Grande noted
above) or keep the tiered system that exists today and implement a flat fee within
each tier.
The following tables illustrate how different appeal fee approaches could look. The
numbers provided are an attempt to bring the appeal fees in line with peer and
neighboring jurisdictions, but could be adjusted up or down per direction from the
Council, as long as the fees do not exceed the full cost recovery amounts provided
by MGT.
The tiers are defined in the staff report and are provided here for reference:
Item 7a. Review and Adopt Revised Citywide User and Regulatory Fees Page 4
Alternative Approach 1 – set the appeal fees based on a percentage of cost
recovery but lower the cost recovery percentage. If cost recovery percentages
were lowered to 10% for both applicants and non-applicants the appeals would be
as follows (note, Tier 3 and Tier 4 do not currently differentiate between applicant
and non-applicant):
Fee
Tier 1 Applicant $1,671
Tier 1 Non-applicant $1,704
Tier 2 Applicant $1,052
Tier 2 Non-applicant $1,035
Tier 3 $515
Tier 4 $270
Alternatively, the Council could utilize Alternative Approach #1 but charge the
same fee for applicants and non-applicants.
Alternative Approach 2a – set fixed appeal fees and retain existing tiers. The
suggested amounts below would be in-line with nearby and peer jurisdictions.
Fee
Tier 1 $1,000
Tier 2 $800
Tier 3 $600
Tier 4 $400
Approach 2b – set fixed appeal fees and retain both the existing tiers and the
applicant/non-applicant fees. The suggested amounts below would incorporate
the information related to nearby and peer jurisdictions while retaining a distinction
between applicants and non-applicants, with the applicant fee proposed to be 20%
more than non-applicant. Currently, with the established fee structure, applicants
pay more than double what non-applicants do for Tier 1 and Tier 2 appeals, and
applicants and non-applicants pay the same amount as one another for Tier 3 and
Tier 4 appeals.
Fee
Tier 1 Applicant $1,200
Tier 1 Non-applicant $1,000
Tier 2 Applicant $960
Tier 2 Non-applicant $800
Tier 3 $600
Tier 4 $400
Item 7a. Review and Adopt Revised Citywide User and Regulatory Fees Page 5
Approach 3 – set fixed appeal fees based on the body to which a permit is
being appealed. The suggested amounts below would be in-line with nearby and
peer jurisdictions.
Fee
Appeal of advisory body
decision
$1,000
Appeal of director decision $500
Refund Option - In addition, the City Council could consider implementing a policy
related to appeals that allows for the refunding of some or all appeal fees should
an appellant be successful in their appeal. This would mean that an appeal fee
would be charged in order to file the appeal, but refunded to the appellant if the
appeal were successful and a decision was made in their favor.
3) What fees are generally associated with projects or home improvements that
help advance sustainability goals of the City? What would the fees for these
permits be if the City established a 50% cost recovery goal for these types
of permits? What would be the estimated economic impact of NOT
implementing the increases as recommended?
The following Building permits are generally associated with sustainability goals of
the City:
• Electric Car Charging System
• Graywater System
• Graywater/Rainwater Harvesting System
• Heat Pump
• Insulation/Energy Update
• Photovoltaic Systems
• Photovoltaic Unit Installation – Residential
• Residential Photovoltaic System
• Solar/PV System – Commercial BLDG
• Solar/PV System – Multifamily BLDG
• Solar Water System Fixtures – BLDG
• Doors/Windows
• Electric Service Upgrades
• New/Altered Circuits
• Window Retrofit
Based on estimated annual volumes of these permit types, the currently proposed
fees are expected to generate about $134,400. If Council adopted a 50% cost
recovery, it would result in $67,200 of revenue generated. The fee amounts are
as shown below:
Item 7a. Review and Adopt Revised Citywide User and Regulatory Fees Page 6
4) What do other agencies charge for Conceal Carry Weapon Permit fees?
The following chart reflects what other agency fees are as of July 1, 2024. It is
important to note that the City’s current fee of $100 for new permits lagged behind
other agencies in the County, but as language changed in the Penal Code in
January 2024 while the City-wide Fee Study was underway, MGT was able to
provide an accurate determination of the City’s true time and cost above the prior
legislative cap. Additionally, feedback from other departments in the County
indicated they would most likely be re-assessing their fees in the near future, given
that the new statutory requirements include tasks which involve increased staff
time. The department also intends to reassess these fees as part of the City’s next
Fee Study and examine how costs compare to other County agencies and adjust
if needed.
Current Proposed

Electric Car Charging System 149.70$ 173$ 86.50$
Graywater System 184.15$ 604$ 302.00$

Item 7a. Review and Adopt Revised Citywide User and Regulatory Fees Page 7
5) Is more information available about the projects that did not pay both
installments of their required planning fees that are presented in the Agenda
Report?
Staff provided a table in the Agenda Report to highlight the uncollected amount of
fees in Planning due to the two installment payment system. For clarification, the
projects in this table represent projects that have been submitted between 2020
and 2024. The total number of projects that have not paid their second payment
installment is 42. The table below shows the number of each type of permit that
represents the unpaid fee amount. The largest number of projects with uncollected
fees are Major Development Projects, followed by Minor Development Projects,
Moderate Development Projects and Minor Use permits.
6) The staff report recommends that the City conduct fee studies every three
years moving forward. What does that mean in terms of when the next study
would be conducted and new fees implemented?
Staff is recommending that comprehensive fee studies be conducted every three
years moving forward to make sure that the City is able to incrementally adjust its
fees, rather than considering significant changes every five years. If this
recommendation is adopted by Council, staff would work with a consultant to
conduct a fee study in 2026 and target making a recommendation to Council in the
spring of 2027 so that the new fees could go into effect in July 2027, when the
2027-29 Financial Plan period begins. Consistent with Council-adopted Budget
Policies, fees adopted on July 2, 2024, would be adjusted by the consumer price
index (CPI) on July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026, leading up to the next
comprehensive fee study.

7) Can you explain the difference between the fee for “Window Retrofits (non-
structural) - BLDG – Base Fee” and “Window Retrofits (non-structural) -
BLDG – Each addtl” and why we are proposing a new fee here?
Previously, there was a flat fee assigned for all window retrofit projects that did not
provide for full cost recovery. Staff determined that the cost and time was most
accurately calculated based on the number of windows being replaced for a given
project. The “Base Fee” is the cost of the permit to replace up to 10 windows, and
the “Each addtl” fee is charged for up to each additional 10 windows on a project.
For example, 11-20 windows would be charged the “Base Fee” plus the “Each
addtl” fee for total of $666.73. Whereas a project consisting of 21-30 windows
would be charged the “Base Fee” plus 2 times the “Each addtl” fee, for a total cost
of $932.60. The new fee category captures the additional staff time for larger
projects.
8) It says in the report that an extensive amount of public and stakeholder
group feedback was sought as part of this study. Did you consult with the
non-profit developer community as part of the outreach? Also, were there
any other groups or individuals consulted consisting of low-income or other
historically marginalized or under-represented groups?
Key stakeholders from the non-profit developer community, as well as developers
that build affordable housing as part of larger projects, have been notified about
the fee study and are part of Developer’s Roundtable email lists. Several have
been present at the in-person meetings where the fee study has been presented
including as part of the Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Development
Committee. Due to the potential impact of Parks and Recreation fees on all
members of the community, the Parks and Recreation fees were taken to the
Commission so that they could be shared in a public forum. Additionally, e-
Notifications were sent to the local media and to more than 3,000 subscribers, and
stories were posted on Facebook and Instagram twice regarding the fee study.
Fee study information was also included in the SLO Business Update sent out by
the City’s Economic Development staff, which was distributed to 7,004
subscribers.
9) Why isn’t there a non-resident fee charged for golf? How was it determined
which Parks and Recreation services should have a resident and non-
resident fee?
Resident and non-resident fees are recommended for Parks and Recreation
services that require advance registration (ex. youth sports camps, instructional
classes, and Jack House rentals) primarily due to the complexity of administering
a non-resident rate for services that do not require registration and are instead paid
for at the counter. Staff’s recommendation is to add a non-resident fee for
programs that require registration/enrollment (i.e. classes) and already have a
Item 7a. Review and Adopt Revised Citywide User and Regulatory Fees Page 9
process is place for gathering information about residency. The recommendations
for use of non-resident fees also target those programs with impacted enrollment
(i.e. where we run out of space).
10) Is the Affordable Housing Agreement/MOU fee charged to non-profit
affordable housing developers?
This fee is not charged to non-profit affordable housing developers for affordable
housing projects.
11) What Planning permits/fees are generally associated with larger projects vs.
Individuals?
The Planning permits are utilized by a variety of users and each permit/fee could
be associated with an individual homeowner or with a larger development project.
In general, the following Planning permits are typically associated with larger
projects than smaller ones:
• Development projects – moderate
• Development projects – major
• Initial study/environmental impact report
• Tentative tract map
• Tentative parcel map
• Condominium conversion
• Rezoning
• Map amendment
• Text amendment
• General plan amendment
• Annexation
• Agreements (all)
• Street abandonment
12) In relation to the issue of Planning Fee installment payments, does staff
currently provide refunds for planning projects that do not proceed through
the entire planning process?
Yes. Currently staff will provide a full refund if an applicant withdraws a planning
project early in the review period, or if planning staff and the applicant determine
early that the project is not viable upon initial review. Staff also works with
applicants to provide reasonable refunds if the applicant withdraws an application
later in the process with consideration given to the amount of work that has already
been completed for the project.

Staff Corrections
Staff discovered an error in the annual volumes used to calculate the Engineering fee
revenue related to blanket encroachment permits for utility companies. The correction
results in $176,070 less in estimated Engineering Fee revenues. In addition, the Planning
revenue calculation assumed that all revenue from SB9 urban lot splits is new revenue.
However, there is a current fee for this service, staff is simply recommending discretely
separating out the SB9 process. This results in $30,600 less Planning Fee related
revenues than originally calculated. The overall resulting estimated revenue is presented
below.
Finally, staff is correcting Exhibit 1 to the Draft Resolution (Attachment C to this
correspondence) to: 1. reflect staff’s recommendation as noted in the Council Agenda
Report that the Tree Removal Permit be $330.50 instead of $661; and 2. reflect corrected
fee amounts for Recycled Water Construction Permits and a simplified fee structure for
this service, as noted in the Agenda Correspondence sent out on June 28, 2024. Exhibit
1 is being updated as it is referenced in the resolution adopting the fee schedule. Note
that other attachments to the report include the fee amounts for Tree Removal Permits
and Recycled Water Construction Permits initially included in those attachments.
