Home My WebLink Aboutbocc.ord.012.2015AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO, ESTABLISHING FEES FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND REPEALING AND REPLACING ORDINANCE 030-2009 Ordinance No. -O/�2-" -�k0 "5 RECITALS I . Pitkin County proposes to set fees for the Community Development Department that are consistent and fair to the public and reflect the expense incurred in providing such services to the public. 2. Certain fees currently charged for development review no longer reflect the cost of providing the necessary levels of such services. The policy of the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners is that development shall pay, in full, the cost of development review in Pitkin County. The fees herein will not achieve that goal, but implementation of the new fee schedule will allow the County to move closer to the goal. 3. In 2015 a more comprehensive revision of the Community Development fee schedule will be reviewed by the Board of the County Commissioners. 4. Payments due to the County for obligations due to sales and tax are not regarded as fees and therefore not included in the Ordinance. The Ordinance does not reflect an encompassing fee schedule. 5. The BOCC considered the proposed fees atg�� first reading on Ce l'C �� / / XOa-nd at a second reading and public hearing on Matte 1"5-, 9-0/5- I NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the BOCC that it does hereby adopt fees for the Community Development Department as follows: I . Planning, Zoning and Referral Agency fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit A). 2. Building permit fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit B). 3. Mechanical permit fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit Q. 4. Plumbing permit fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit D). 5. International Fuel Gas Code explained in Exhibit E. 6. National Electric Code permit fees explained in Exhibit F. 7. Contractor Licensing fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit G).
