City Clerkâs Office Item # M-6
BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
RESOLUTION
COUNCIL MEETING DATE:
June 10, 2019
TO: President Dennis E. Flores and Members of City Council
CC: Nicholas A. Gradisar, Mayor
VIA: Brenda Armijo, Acting City Clerk
FROM: Steven Meier, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AMENDING AND ADOPTING A FEE SCHEDULE FOR
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ZONING APPLICATIONS PERTAINING TO
CHILD CARE HOMES
SUMMARY:
This Resolution adopts a Conditional Use Permit application fee for a child care home.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On June 23, 2014, City Council approved Resolution No. 13004 adopting a fee schedule
for Conditional Use Permits zoning applications, wherein fees were set for child care
homes.
BACKGROUND:
The application fees for Conditional Use Permits (CUP) are City land use reglations
implemented through several prior resolutions. The fees associated with child care homes
were established by Resolution No. 13004 and based on the $500 fee that was charged
when child care homes were required to obtain a Special Use Permit through the Zoning
Board of Appeals. The Planning Department has received a request from Children First
to reduce the fees for a CUP to $150 which more reasonably reflects the cost of reviewing
and issuing a CUP for a child care home.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The reduced CUP fee for child care homes will be more reasonably related to the cost of
the review and permit issuance process. This reduction in the CUP fee will be partially
offset by an expected increase in the number of child care home applications. Since 2016,
only seven (7) child care home CUP applications have been submitted to the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Resolution is not approved, the CUP application fees for child care homes will
remain at $500.00, potentially resulting in fewer licensed child care homes.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve the Resolution.
