HomeMy WebLinkAboutbocc.ord.018.2004AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO, ESTABLISHING FEES FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND REPEALING AND REPLACING ORDINANCE 007-2003 Ordinance No. 0/~ -2004 RECITALS 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. 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. Long Range planning shall be funded through the general fund. 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. Planning fees are proposed to be increased slightly less than 3% this year, with the fees to be reviewed annually rather than making large increases every several years. The Intergovernmental Agreement between the County and the City of Aspen Community Development Departments requires that building fees be consistent with the City of Aspen in order to make the building permitting process seamless for the public. The BOCC considered the proposed fees at a regular meeting on March 10, 2004, and on March 24, 2004, at a second reading and public hearing, and voted to approve the proposed fees at a public hearing on third reading on April 14, 2004. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the BOCC that it does hereby adopt fees for the Community Development Department as follows: 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Planning, Zoning Review and Referral fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit A). Building permit fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit B). Mechanical permit fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit C). Plumbing permit fees shall be based on the attached fee schedule (Exhibit D).
