CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
FROM: Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director --
DATE: November 14, 2014
SUBJECT: Repeal and Replace §159.01 Fees of the Unified Development Code
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends amending §159.01 Fees of the Unified Development Code, as described
herein.
BACKGROUND:
The City charges certain fees to cover a portion of the cost of services that we provide, related to
development and construction plan review, inspections and issuing permits and certificates of
occupancy. Development Services functions such as Planning, Engineering and Building Safety
reside in the General Fund; we are thus not an enterprise fund, whereby we would conduct rate
studies to determine the cost of services and then charge a rate to the user to recover that cost.
Rather, most of our services are provided with a nominal fee to the user; based on our current
fee structure, we estimate that an average of 25% of the cost of provided services is charged to
the user based upon the fees established within §159 of the Unified Development Code.
In 2005 the City Council adopted a User Fee Cost Recovery Policy, which was intended to be a
comprehensive policy to regularly review the issue of recovering the full cost of city services.
Relative to building permit fees, which are based upon national data and published fee schedules,
the City has been consistent with this policy by administering fees that generally cover the cost of
the service. In that regard, most all cities in Arkansas are very similar in their building permit fee
structure, since we are mandated to follow the International Building Code by state statute, and
fee structures are established therein. However, development fees (planning, engineering,
inspections) remain quite low in comparison to the cost of the service. It appears that Fayetteville
is not unlike many other cities when it comes to development fees. A recent survey of cities in
Arkansas and several peer college cities in other states reveal that while some of Fayetteville's
fees remain low comparatively, many are also in line with what other cities are charging. In
addition, Fayetteville does have certain other impact fees that other cities do not; these impact
fees do not go to pay for the cost of planning, engineering, or inspection services but instead are
applied to capital projects in water, sewer, fire and policy. It is the recommendation of staff to
continue to monitor fees and the services we provide, but not to adopt wholesale fee structure
changes to cover 100% of the cost of services at this time, due to the fact that we would be well
outside of the fee structure range of both in-state and out-of-state peer cities.
Mailing Address:

Fayetteville, AR 72701
Instead, city staff has taken a much more conservative approach with this proposal, identifying
fee adjustments in areas where we believe specific fees are too high comparatively or too
complicated to calculate, such as the fee for signs; areas where we already charge fees, but due
to name changes in project types (such as Property Line Adjustments and Site Improvement
Plans), we don't have them clearly listed; areas where we felt fees could be tiered based upon
size of the project generally corresponding to staff and Commission time and effort; and areas
where multiple reviews or inspections of the same project over and over again are placing other
projects at a disadvantage.
A summary of the subject code changes is as follows:
• Change the sign permit and sign variance fee to a flat fee of $25.00 per sign to be
comparable to other cities in the 1-49 corridor. Our fees are greater and more
complicated to calculate than surrounding cities.
• Include a fee for a Property Line Adjustment which is a common development
application that is currently charged as a Lot Split but not listed in this chapter of the
UDC.
• Add Site Improvements Plans, which is a newer development application but is not listed
in this chapter of the UDC.
• Refine the fees for Large Scale Development, Site Improvement Plan, and Planned
Zoning District to have tiered fees based on the size and intensity of development which
generally corresponds to the amount of staff time required to process and review these
applications.
• Include a resubmittal fee for Technical Plat Review Committee and Grading and
Drainage Permit reviews. This new fee is intended to more accurately account for staff
time required to review the same project multiple times, help encourage quality
submittals, and reduce placing other quality project submittals at a disadvantage
• Clarify that Variance fees apply to both Board of Adjustment and Planning Commission
• Combine driveway, curb cut, and excavations in the right-of-way into one fee for clarity.
• Included a re -inspection fee for building permits to reduce the problem of inspections
being requested before the improvement has been completed. Also included a renewal
of Temporary Certificate of Occupancy Fee. This escalating fee will help account for staff
time in conducting the same inspection multiple times, when a project is simply not ready
to be inspected, but staff is called out again and again to do so.
• Remove the partial C of O, annual C of O renewal, expired C of O, and Plan Review "not
to exceed" fees, which are not utilized or required. We found only one other major city in
Arkansas that has a "not to exceed" plan review fee. Rather, these fees are typically
based upon published ICC fee schedules, much like building permit fees.
• Add exemptions for affordable housing projects and city -owned facilities (which we
historically have done)
