WHEREAS, the Planning Office has determined the total cost
of the County's Land Use Code administration function, which
includes the cost of processing land use applications, responding
to routine public inquiry, and initiating minor code amendments;
and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that a "Base Fee" should
be established for each type of review process which, when
considered in relation to the number of applications expected
during the forthcoming year, will have the effect of offsetting
100 percent of the total cost of the Code Administration
function; and
WHEREAS, the Board wishes to provide for "Additional
Billings" to cover the additional cost incurred by the County
when the processing of a land use application by the Planning
Office takes more time than is covered in the "Base Fee"
structure and desires to re-establish said billings as set forth
below; and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the Engineering and
Environmental Health Departments, as land use referral agencies,
should charge fees to offset the cost of their review activity,
and such fees shall be collected by the Planning Office.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board that the
categories of review processes, base fees and Planning Office
average time requirements for the processing of land use
applications effective January 1, 1990 are established as

refund the unused portion of the Base Fee.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED by the Board that the following
guidelines for the administration of the fee structure
hereinabove are established.
I. Fees charged for the processing of applications which fall
into more than one category will be cumulative; while the
fees charged for the processing of applications within the
same category will not be cumulative. In the event that the
fees which result from cumulation are found by the Planning
Office to be excessive in relation to the number of hours it
_
is anticipatedto require to process the application, the
-4
Planning Office may waive the cumulation requirement.
2. "Additional Billings" will be based solely on processing
time spent by members of the Planning Office, or its
designee, in the processing of an application.
3. "Additional Billings" will be computed at the rate of
$130.00 per hour of additional Planning Office staff time
required; while refunds of unused hours will be made at the
rate of $130.00 per hour of time.
4. The Planning office shall establish appropriate guidelines
-
for the collection of "Additional Billings" as required.
`.S.
This fee structure shall be reviewed annually as part of the
City of Aspen's budget hearing process and should any
^{
adjustment be required, they shall be accomplished by
Ordinance of City Council, to take effect on January 1.
6. The Planning Office shall identify, prior to or at the time
of submission of a land use application, whether the
application is to be referred to the Engineering or
l'4
Environmental Health Departments. The Planning Office shall
also identify whether the application constitutes a minor or
a major referral, based on the number of hours which will be
r
-,<,-required
to review the application, and charge the applicant
if
J
for each referral accordingly. Additional Billings and
1
;j
refunds shall not apply to the computation of referral fees.

applicant.
