Harris Y %?7I 0_r&zsC__ for Community Development The Community Development staff has prepared a list of standard requirements for development applications as expressed in the attached resolution. The purpose of adoption of this resolution is to provide the authority to request of applicants the necessary information in order to adequately process both the environmental review and land use entitlements of a particular request. The resolution further sets forth authority for requiring applicants to erect notices of public hearing sign boards on the property under consideration. The resolution establishes City policy that all related project processing costs not covered in the application processing fee are to be paid by the applicant. The department will assume responsibility of keeping records detailing the costs associated with project review when there is reason to expect the usual fees will not cover costs. Staff feels this is necessary, in particular for the larger scale projects which take up a disproportionate amount of staff time and have associated higher expenses. This resolution does not set application fees. Application fees will be reviewed and set in the MSI implementation actions scheduled for -the City Council during the budget hearing process.
