The Planning Board voted Aug. 12 to forward an ordinance creating section 3.3.15 that would allow the city to recover direct pass-through costs for specialized development review (engineering, surveying, traffic, environmental, legal); staff said applicants would receive itemized invoices and a $5,000 deposit is proposed as an escrow against such costs.

Tatiana Childers, Planning and Redevelopment Director, said the change would codify language already used in resolution 2024-38 and create a consistent process for pass-through costs such as traffic and transportation reviews, stormwater and drainage engineering, surveying, environmental reviews and legal review.
