Summary Title: Public Hearing: Fee adjustments
Title: PUBLIC HEARING: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending the Fiscal Year
2017 Municipal Fee Schedule to Adjust Planning and Community
Environment Fees to Reflect Adjustments to Salaries and Benefits Included in
the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Planning and Community Environment
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council find the project exempt under Section 15273 of the
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines adopt the ordinance included as Attachment A
approving amendments to the Planning section of the Municipal Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year
2017 to adjust fees based on a 5.5 percent adjustment for average salary and benefits
increases. The ordinance would also adjust the fee increases scheduled to go into effect on
July 1, 2017 based on adoption of Resolution 9579 on March 28, 2016.
Background:
Last spring, the Planning and Community Environment Department completed a fee study to
update fees for services. Due to the timing of the fee study, the updated fees were based upon
Fiscal Year 2015 cost information, the most recent completed fiscal year information available
at the time. On March 28, 2016 (Staff Report 6638) the City Council accepted the fee study and
approved a resolution adjusting fees and hourly staff rates charged for services. The staff
report for the March 28th hearing is available at:
http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/51593 and the resolution adjusting
fees is available at: http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/53446.
On June 13, 2016 (Staff Report 6932) Council adopted changes to the Fiscal Year 2017
Municipal Fee Schedule, applying a 5.5 percent average salary and benefits adjustment to most
City fees from the FY 2016 fee levels. Fees for the Planning and Community Environment
City of Palo Alto Page 2
Department did not capture these salary and benefits adjustments. This issue was raised
during the Fiscal Year 2017 budget adoption process and specifically the discussion surrounding
how the organization will keep up with these annual increases now that we have completed
this comprehensive study. Staff committed to return to Council with a 5.5 percent increase to
Fiscal Year 2017 fees resulting in fee increases that will be effective January, 2017.
Discussion:
The Department of Planning & Community Environment charges user fees to applicants
requesting planning entitlements and related services. Planning entitlements include
discretionary actions such as Architectural Reviews, Individual Reviews, Site and Design,
Conditional Use Permits, Variances, Zoning and Comp Plan Amendments. Planning fees do not
include building permits or permit fees for property maintenance, such as roof replacements or
water heater replacements. Those activities fall within the Development Services department.
Council adopted a User Fee Cost Recovery Level Policy (Staff Report 5735) on May 18, 2015 that
suggests high, medium, and low levels of cost recovery based on policy considerations, such as
the degree of public versus private benefit associated with the activity for which a fee is
established. Services that are regulatory in nature (e.g. review for compliance with zoning
regulations) and for which individual users receive most or all of the benefit (e.g. developers
requesting approval of a planning approval), generally fall in the “high” cost recovery level
group.
On March 28, 2016, (Staff Report 6638) the City Council accepted the fee study and approved a
resolution increasing fees for services and hourly staff rates. For fees affecting mostly
commercial development, Council approved fees to fully recover costs based on study results.
Council adopted a two-phased approach for fees that primarily affect residential entitlements,
with fifty percent of the increase realized in Fiscal Year 2017 and the remaining 50 percent
effective Fiscal Year 2018. Council chose to keep Day Care Use Permits and Request for Hearing
Fees below cost recovery levels, and also made changes to appeal fees.
Fees for services are structured in two ways: flat fees and time and materials fees, for which the
Department collects and charges against deposits. Flat fees apply to those activities for which
an average amount of processing time and effort can reasonably be determined. Deposits are
taken when staff time to provide the service is expected to vary widely. Applications such as
Site and Design or major projects requiring Architectural Review Board involvement may
require 50 hours of work or up to 500 hours, depending on the project. In these cases, a deposit
amount set at the minimum needed to complete staff work is identified in the Municipal Fee
Schedule. Once a deposit is received, staff track the amount of effort involved in providing
service and charges are made against the deposit using the appropriate hourly billing rate(s),
including overhead. The applicant is kept informed of all charges against the deposit and if the
City of Palo Alto Page 3
deposit is exhausted and additional work is still required, the applicant is billed for additional
charges. Similarly, the applicant is refunded if costs total less than the deposited amount. Staff
involved in these activities generally span several departments. If consultants are required,
consultant fees are also charged to the applicant. Staff recommends increasing both kinds of
fees by 5.5 percent.
This 5.5 percent increase reflects the average increase of salaries and benefits for Fiscal Year
2017, from Fiscal Year 2016 rates in order to maintain the cost recovery levels. During the
discussion of the adoption of this two year phased approach, Council asked staff to ensure fees
maintain cost recovery levels due to general increases in the cost of doing business now that
this study has been completed. This increase adjusts for that and typically a percentage
increase is applied annually as part of the annual budget process to the extent appropriate.
Should Council choose to adopt the recommended fee increases, they will also increase the
previously adopted Fiscal Year 2018 Planning fees by 5.5%. Any additional changes to those
adopted fees will be brought forward as part of the Fiscal Year 2018 budget process.
Resource Impact:
It is anticipated that revenues in Fiscal Year 2017 will increase by approximately $33,000 with
these fee increases occuring over half way through the fiscal year, representing an increase of
about 1.5 percent of the department’s adopted revenue budget. A change to the
department’s revenue budget is not recommended at this time as these fee activities are driven
by economic activities and currently the department is seeing a decline in commercial
entitlements, a key driver of these revenues. Revenue collections will be monitored and
adjustments brought forward as appropriate during the fiscal year.
Timeline:
Based on State law, fee adjustments can become effective no less than 60 days after Council’s
adoption of the resolution.
Environmental Review
The adoption of user fees is exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (See CEQA Guidelines Section
15273.)

Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending Resolution 9579 to
Update the Fiscal Year 2017 Municipal Fee Schedule to Adjust the Planning and
Community Environment Fees by Fiscal Year 2017 Adjustments to Salaries and
Benefits
The Council does hereby ORDAIN as follows:
A. In spring 2016, the Planning and Community Environment Department completed a
fee study to update fees for services. Due to the timing of the fee study, the updated fees were
based upon Fiscal Year 2015 cost information, the most recent completed fiscal year
information available at the time.
B. On March 28, 2016, the City Council accepted the fee study and approved a
resolution adjusting fees and hourly staff rates charged for services.
C. On June 13, 2016, Council adopted changes to the Fiscal Year 2017 Municipal Fee
Schedule, applying a 5.5 percent average salary and benefits adjustment to most City fees.
Fees for the Planning and Community Environment Department did not capture these salary
and benefits adjustments.
D. This issue was raised during the Fiscal Year 2017 budget adoption process. Staff
committed to return to Council with a 5.5 percent increase to Fiscal Year 2017 fees resulting in
fee increases effective January, 2017.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:
SECTION 1. The Council of the City of Palo Alto adopts the changes to the Municipal
Fee Schedule as set forth in Exhibit "A" and “B” and incorporated here by reference. When
effective, such fees shall supersede any prior inconsistent fees charged by the Planning and
Community Environment Department.
SECTION 2. The amount of the new or increased fees and charges is no more than
necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and the manner in which
those costs are allocated to a payer bears a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer's
burden on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity.
SECTION 3. Fees in the Municipal Fee Schedule are for government services provided
directly to the payor that are not provided to those not charged. The amount of this fee does
not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of providing the services. Consequently, pursuant to
Art. XIII C, Section l(e)(2), such fees are not a tax.
161011 jb 0131556 2 October 2016
SECTION 4. Effective Date. The fee increases proposed for FY 2017 described in
Exhibit A and the changes to the hourly billing rates described in Exhibit B shall become
effective no sooner than sixty (60) days from the date of adoption of this ordinance. The fee
increases proposed for FY 2018 described in Exhibit A and the changes to the 2018 hourly billing
rates described in Exhibit B shall become effective on July 1, 2018.
SECTION 5. CEQA. The adoption of user fees is exempt from environmental review
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (See CEQA Guidelines Section 15273.)
