Funding Source: Not applicable. Recommended Action: Motion to: Adopt Fee Resolution 2009 - 81 , amending Resolution No. 2009-32, establishing a City-wide Development Fee Schedule. Alternative Action(s): 1) Hold the Public Hearing and adopt only a portion of the fees. 2) Do not adopt any of the recommended fees. REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 12/21/2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PD 09-009 Analysis: Resolution No. 2009-32 regarding City of Huntington Beach development fees was adopted on June 15, 2009. Since this adoption, the Fire Department has identified a need to revise the section of the fee schedule related to fire sprinkler installation. Currently, the base fee for fire sprinkler tenant improvement projects for up to 20 sprinkler heads is $555. However, a cost reduction is warranted due to the lack of sprinkler heads installed in most projects. Many small tenant improvement projects involve only one to five sprinkler heads and the charge of$555 is higher than the cost to plan check the improvement. In an effort to reduce development cost to the community, better align our plan check fees with the other cities, and provide excellent customer service, the proposed revision is recommended: ♦ Tenant improvement base fee (6 to 20 sprinkler heads) - $555 ♦ Tenant improvement base fee (up to 5 sprinkler heads) - $350 Following a public hearing, City Council adoption of the attached resolution is recommended.
