ORDINANCE NO.lam_14 <br /> An Ordinance Establishing a New Fee Schedule for Land Use <br /> Applications, Permits, Review Processes, and Related Services for the <br /> Department of Planning and Community Development, and Repealing <br /> Ordinance No. 1730-90 and 1985-94, as amended <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council finds and concludes the following: <br /> 1. The City of Everett last updated its fee schedule for Planning Department land use <br /> applications, permits, review processes and related services in 1995. <br /> 2. The City has reviewed the land use applications, permits, review processes and related <br /> services fee schedules for neighboring jurisdictions in Snohomish County. <br /> 3. The land use regulations have become more complex over time, and require increasingly <br /> more staff time to review permit applications for consistency with all applicable <br /> environmental, land use and design standards. <br /> 4. The City has estimated its costs for processing a variety of land use applications, permits, <br /> review processes and related services. <br /> 5. The City wishes to establish fees that approximate the average costs to process land use <br /> applications, permits, review processes and related services. <br /> 6. Adjusting fees to approximate these costs will place Everett's fees within the range of <br /> similar fees of neighboring cities and Snohomish County. <br /> 7. The cost to the City to process land use permits should be supported by fees collected <br /> from applicants for land use applications, permits, review processes and related services <br /> rather than general fund based tax revenues. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF EVERETT DOES ORDAIN: <br /> Section 1: ESTABLISHMENT OF FEES—FEE SCHEDULE: The following <br /> schedule of fees shall apply for the processing of land use applications, permits, review <br /> processes and related services for the Department of Planning and Community <br /> Development: <br /> A.Type of Action or Application Fee <br /> 1.
