Council President Scheibel and Members of the City Council 716 City Hall Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear President Scheibel and Member o the City Council: In accordance with the 1989 City B dg t, PED is proposing significant increases in zoning fees and estab is ment of environmental review fees. I recommend adoption of the attached Co ncil Resolution to implement the new fee schedule. Here are some highlights of this f e roposal in addition to the establishment of environmental review fees. 1. The zoning fees will increase it revenue by about $40,000 per year to a new total of $100,000 per year. E timating revenue from the environmental review fees is difficult becaus a plications are sporadic, but the base fee for major environmental app ic tions will be $1000. 2. Over half of the increased reve ue will come from two types of zoning cases, site plan reviews and sp ci 1 condition uses, where our existing fees are clearly too low. 3. The new fees contain a penalty If p to $200 for applications made after construction has already starte , Such penalties currently exist for building permits, but are new f r oning. 4. The fee schedule provides for a nu 1 increases which can be made administratively. 5. The new Council Resolution cons li ates zoning fees into one resolution, whereas they are currently foun i three separate resolutions. 6. The City's existing zoning fee ch dule is in the upper quartile of municipalities in the metropoli an area. With the proposed fees, Saint Paul will clearly be in the top te . '� ,�� 116 46 9 � Council President Scheibel and Members of the City Council April 25, 1989 Page Two If you have questions about this ee proposal, please call Peggy Reichert at 228-3380 or Larry Soderholm at 22 -3 62.

The attached fee prop sa contains the following significant changes: 1. Environmental review fees are be ng established. PED has followed a policy of requiring applicant t pay consultant costs for environmental review work, but has not prev ou ly charged for City staff time. 2. There are large increases for a w types of zoning cases (site plan review, special condition use, d termination of similar use, and lot splits) where our current fee a really bargain rates in terms of the staff time they take and in c p ison to other municipalities. 3. A few new zoning fees are est li hed for administrative activities which have previously been free (o rs ip list for petitions, sign district review, and zoning certificati n etters) . 4. The rest of the zoning fees ar b ing increased by about 20-25 percent, which is reasonable given that th y have not been increased since 1986. S. The new City Council resolutiol c nsolidates zoning fees into one resolution whereas they are cu re tly found in three separate resolutions. 6. The new City Council resolutio c ntains a penalty fee of up to $200 for certain types of applications ad after construction has already started. Under the new zoning fees (not coun in the environmental fees) , the City's revenue will increase from approxim te y $60,000 a year to $100,000. This is a 66 percent increase. Nearly half 'of this increase in revenue comes from just one type of zoning case, site la review. It is by far our most common type of application and we have bee c arging a base fee of only $65 for commercial and multifamily applicat on . The proposed base fee is $200. G��_�� Mayor Latimer April 18, 1989 Page Two The City's existing zoning fee sc d e is in the upper quartile of municipal zoning fees in the metropolitan a a. Some of the other high-fee communities are Minneapolis, Edina, Fridley, r ville, and Richfield. With the proposed fee schedule, Saint Paul will cle 1 be in the top ten. Although the proposed fees contai si nificant increases, they still will cover only 44� o£ PED's costs for on ng casework. The cost of doing zoning cases is, in effect, divided betwe n he applicants and the city at large, which receives the benefit of zoni g egulations. We can't break out costs for individual types of zoning cas s, but obviously cases that become controversial, with layovers and r qu sts for more information, become very costly. Fees should be high enoug t deter "speculative" applications, but not so high as to encourage evasio o zoning procedures. If you have questions, please call me at 228-3380 or Larry Soderholm at 228-3362.
