ITEM TITLE:
Ordinance 26-003, relating to Development Permit Fees for Transportation Review; amending SCC 13.110.030
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Julie Mass
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Ken Klein 1/13/26
PURPOSE: To update transportation review fees in SCC 13.110.030 to adjust for inflation, as part of Phase III in updating permitting fees.
BACKGROUND: Development Permit Fees in SCC 13.110.030 for transportation reviews administered by PDS have not been updated in 35 years, since the fees were initially adopted in 1991. Periodic adjustments to fees are needed to maintain financial self-sufficiency in providing permitting services and keep pace with inflation. PDS is facing significant annual budget deficits. To help close the expected budget gap, PDS is proposing to amend the fees for transportation reviews where the updated cost model (established hourly rates for services) is applied to estimated time spent processing development permits with traffic impacts to establish a reasonable fee that provides for better cost recovery.
