HomeMy WebLinkAbout05/04/1999, 3 - REQUEST BY THE SAN LUIS OBISPO CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER FOR WAIVER OF PLANNING AND BUILDING FEES council M. - 9 j agenda REpoRt 3 CITY OF SAN LUIS O B I S P O FROM: Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director o Prepared By: Ronald Whisenand,Development Re ' w Manager SUBJECT: REQUEST BY THE SAN LUIS OBISPO CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER FOR WAIVER OF PLANNING AND BUILDING FEES CAO RECOM ENDATION Deny the request for waiver of fees DISCUSSION The San Luis Obispo Child Development Center is proposing to establish a new facility on County land off of Bishop Street between General Hospital and the County Probation Department. The Center is a non-profit program that has been providing child care and child abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment services to County residents. The Center is currently renting space on Southwood Drive which they will lose in September of this year. They would like to begin the permitting process soon, in order to construct and occupy their new facility behind General Hospital by the September deadline. The project will involve both discretionary land use and building permit approvals. Day care centers are identified as a conditionally permitted use within the R-1 Single Family Residential zoning district which is applied to the property. In addition, the site and modular building improvements will require Architectural Review by the City's Architectural Review Commission (ARC). Finally, the development is classified as a "project" by the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and will require the preparation of an environmental analysis by the City. Planning Fees The discretionary land use and environmental fees described above total $1,648. Based on the City's Cost of Service Study of 1995, the total cost to the City for processing these discretionary approvals is $6,600. In establishing the planning fee schedule, the Council choose to recover only 25% of the City's processing costs with planning fees. Waiver of these fees would therefore cost the City's General Fund $1,648 that would normally be paid to accomplish the City's 25% cost recovery goal. Building Fees The applicants propose to construct approximately 6,200 square feet of building area. Based on the size, type, and value of construction, the building permit fees would total $36,000. The fees can be "broken down" into Building Permit Fees - $1,725, Plan Check Fees - $1,570, and Development Impact Fees - $32,700. These fees are established to cover staff time to review and issue the building permit, inspect the construction project, and pay for impacts that the development will have 3-1 Council Agenda Report—Child Development Center Fee Waiver Request Page 2 on water, wastewater, and traffic. Waiver of these fees would fail to recover these City costs as is the policy of the City Council. Past Council Actions Reeardiniz Fee Waivers It has been past practice of the City Council to limit waiver of fees by non-profit agencies. The City Clerk's office does not maintain separate records of.past fee waivers. However, in the past 5-10 years,planning staff is aware of only two instances where a non-profit group was granted a planning fee waiver. The first, was the waiver of architectural review fees for the Housing Authority pursuant to Council policy for affordable housing incentives. The second,was for the waiver of the administrative use permit fee for use of a City adobe for meeting purposes. The adobe use permit fee was waived because the non-profit group involved has a formally recognized City partnership to restore three City-owned adobes, and the meetings are for that purpose. Staff is unaware of any Council approval of a requested fee waiver for building permit fees. The City has a policy to recover costs involved in the City permit process. Historically, this has applied to applications made by private, public, and non-profit groups. There are numerous non- profit agencies and groups performing equally worthwhile activities in the City. Waiving the processing fees for one could set a precedent for other requests thereby having a cumulative financial impact on City resources. Finally, it should be noted that the City provides extensive financial assistance to non-profit groups through annual allocation of special City grant funding and Community Development Block Grant awards. FISCAL IMPACT As stated above, approval of the waiver will have a direct fiscal impact of $37,650 on the City's General, Water, and Sewer Funds. If the fees are waived, $13,000 would be lost in Water Impact Fees, $5,400 in Wastewater Impact Fees, and $12,400 in Traffic Impact Fees. The larger fiscal impact question is one of the cumulative drain on City financial resources should similar requests by other non-profit groups be supported. ALTERNATIVES Approve the waiver of all or a part of the land use, environmental, building permit/plan check, and impact fees for the San Luis Obispo Child Development Center. Should the Council wish to take this course of action, staff suggests waiving the discretionary planning and environmental fees of $1,648. ATTACBMENTS 1. Fee Waiver Request 2. Letters of Support 3.

One assumes that this may impact the estimated fees. For your information,the proposed site has recently been surveyed,the site/grading plan is being revised to reflect the topography and we are in constant contact with the building manufacturer to refine the foot print and floor plan. We are also working closely with the San Luis Obispo County General Services staff to analyze the infratstructure/utility aspect of the project. As you know, we have a very compressed time frame in which to accomplish a variety of programming, design, permitting and construction tasks. We appreciate your efforts to date and want to thank you in advance for your considerate preparation of the staff report to accompany our request for the fee waiver.

For children and families, Andrea Schacht Executive Director fto V - ' SAN LUIS OBISPO CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER v ...a child abuse intervention program od 1490 SouthwoDrive Andrea Schacht, Director 3-7 San Luis Obispo,CA.93401 (805)544-0801 FAX:(805)5442611 SAN LuIS OBISPO CHILD DEVELOPMtNT CENTER REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO FEES BACKGROUND The San Luis Obispo Child Development Center has been providing child care and child abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment services for City of San Luis Obispo families since 1971. We have been funded and supported by the City of San Luis Obispo Grants-in-Aid program for the past 18 years. The Center is a non-profit charitable program contracted directly with the California Department of Education and is one of two child abuse intervention programs in our county funded by the Office of Child Abuse Prevention. We have an excellent reputation in the community and are supported by service and employee organizations (including United Way), our own fundraising efforts (Singing Valentine Cookie-Grams) and donations in addition to our government funding sources. Annually, our program serves an average of 85 children and 80 parents and is funded at approximately$450,000. 85% of the children and families served are City of San Luis Obispo residents. Our government funding sources specify that funding must be used only for direct services and may not be used for capital expenses. While we are totally regulated by the state, our unique relationship as a child development/child care program for children with severe abuse trauma, gives us access to state resources that would ordinarily not be available to a non-profit. OUR PROBLEM The Center is losing its rented facility on September 6, 1999. We have done an extensive search and there is no facility available for us to rent in the City of San Luis Obispo which can be licensed to provide center-based services for children. We have been approved for a no-interest state loan to purchase modular buildings to house our program. These funds are only available to us and must be used for modular buildings. The state requires that the buildings be placed on public tan and an arrangement with the County of San Luis Obispo to lease us land behind General Hospital for$1.00 per year is currently in process. The State of California will own the buildings until our loan with them is paid. Our state loan will barely cover the cost of the buildings which means we will have to secure additional funding (grants, loans, etc.). First Bank of San Luis Obispo will be assisting us with this part of the project. The state will not release 13y of the funding until we have a uermit aooroved by the City. Our new building will allow us to expand our program to meet the need in the community (we currently have over 175 children on our waiting list) as funding becomes available. We need funding to no directly to the children's oroaram, so every cost we can defray will heir). We need to be in our new facility by September 6, 1999 so our timeline is very short. OUR REQUEST We would like to request a waiver of City planning and building fees to help us create this new home for our program. This is a unique project which will be a wonderful opportunity for a State, City, County, non-profit and community partnership to help children and families. With state and other funding sources emphasizing collaboration, this project will exemplify what can be accomplished if we all work together. We plan to incorporate a beautiful sculpture dedicated to children, which will be donated by local artist, Jim Jacobson, as part of our entryway. The City will be acknowledged as a major partner in this project on a plaque in the entryway. We hope that you will help us to make our dream of a facility for our most vulnerable children ano families a reality. 3_8 The San Luis Obispo Childevelopment Center is a non-profit cob- _unity program providing child abuse prevention,intervention,and treatment services to children and families in San Luis Obispo County since 1971.

Please consider the following: 1) Our program is a STATE FUNDED AND REGULATED (California State Department of Education) non-profit program.

This is a quasi-governmental project. WE ARE NOT A TYPICAL NON-PROFIT AGENCY!! 2) We are borrowing the funds to purchase DSA approved modular buildings from the State Department of Education. No other program or non-profit can obtain these funds. We do not have funds to pay fees. All of our other funds must go to services for the children and families. We can pay a mortgage to the state, but not fees! 3) WE SERVE CITY RESIDENTS! 85% of the children and families we are currently serving are low income CITY RESIDENTS.
