3. OPERATIONAL ISSUES
a. FEES CHARGED FOR PLANNING SERVICES
CP Monroe noted that for many years it has been the policy of the City Council that planning fees
should be priced so that they do not become an obstacle to people participating in the permit process.
This means that the cost of planning services is borne by the general fund. Council and Commission
discussed the idea of changing this policy and what principles should be used as a basis for
determining the fees.
b. RECOMMENDATIONS IN CITY CO CIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION
ACTIONS
CP Monroe noted this item was discussed at the November 28, 2001 joint meeting, but due to limited
time, it was suggested it be heard at the February joint meeting. The current practice not to have
planning staff make formal recommendations on projects submitted to the Planning Commission and
City Council is one of long standing. Should it be decided that it is appropriate to institute formal staff
recommendations at this time, it would be helpful for Council to give Planning some guidance as to
how the recommendations and supporting findings of fact be used.
Council and Commission discussed this subject and directed CP Monroe regarding planning
commission minutes and recommendations.
