RESOLUTION NO. 11249 (2021 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING VARIOUS FEES
FOR ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1625 (2015 Series) which, among
other things, established the Administrative Review Board to hear certain administrative
citation appeals that required the creation of a substantial record; and
WHEREAS, no fee amount was explicitly set for an appeal to the Administrative
Review Board, but has been interpreted as falling under the ‘All Other Appeals’ category
of the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance 1625 (2015) also redefined the purview and procedures of
the previously established Construction Board of Appeals, including specifying staff’s
creation of a substantial record for those administrative citation appeals it reviewed; and
WHEREAS, no fee amount is explicitly listed in the City’s Comprehensive Fee
schedule for an appeal to the Construction Board of Appeals, but there does exist two
otherwise applicable fees: “Appeal of Building Official Decision – BLDG” and “Handicap
Board of Appeals – BLDG”; and
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1664 (2019 Series) which
modified the process for tree removal applications and as a result there are no longer any
decisions of the City’s Tree Committee appealable to the City Council though a fee for
such an appeal remains listed in the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule; and
WHEREAS, certain decisions of the City Arborists are appealable to the Tree
Committee, but no fee amount for such an appeal is listed in the Comprehensive Fee
Schedule; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Fee Schedule will be updated to reflect all new
and updated fees becoming effective July 1, 2021.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo that:
SECTION 1. The City will begin collecting fees for administrative appeals to its
various advisory bodies as show below. Accordingly, the City’s Comprehensive Fee
Schedule shall be amended to reflect the following fees:
