Planning department announces ordinance to raise design-review and other planning fees; final council hearing set for June 3
Summary
Planning staff told the Urban Design Commission that the city introduced an ordinance to increase certain planning and design‑review fees; the ordinance will return to city council for a final hearing and adoption on June 3.
Planning staff announced at the Urban Design Commission meeting on May 28 that the city introduced an ordinance to amend several planning-related fees, including higher design‑review and administrative review charges.
Staff said administrative approval fees would increase from $200 to $250 and that commission review fees, which are currently flat regardless of project size, would be restructured so larger projects pay higher fees that reflect the greater staff resources required. Staff directed commissioners and the public to the meeting agenda materials on okc.primegov.com for details and invited stakeholders to contact planning staff with questions.
The ordinance was introduced at city council and will return to council for a final hearing and adoption on June 3, according to staff. No formal action on the ordinance was taken by the Urban Design Commission; the staff announcement was provided for public awareness during items from the Planning Department.
