Committee forwards DBI fee-adjustment ordinance to full Board
Summary
San Francisco Budget and Appropriation Committee voted unanimously to forward an ordinance that would amend building, subdivision and administrative codes to adjust Department of Building Inspection fees and create subfunds within the Building Inspection Fund, affirming a CEQA determination.
The Budget and Appropriation Committee voted 5-0 on July 9 to forward to the full Board of Supervisors an ordinance amending the building, subdivision and administrative codes to adjust fees charged by the Department of Building Inspection and to establish subfunds within the Building Inspection Fund.
The ordinance, as read into the record by the committee clerk, also affirms the Planning Department’s determination under the California Environmental Quality Act. Chair Supervisor Connie Chan moved to forward the item with a positive recommendation; Vice Chair Supervisor Matt Dorsey seconded the motion. The committee recorded five ayes and the item will appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda on July 15 unless otherwise stated.
Committee members noted the ordinance had been continued from the prior week because of substantive amendments and the requirement for a 10-day fee posting notice. No members of the public spoke on the item during the committee meeting.
By forwarding the ordinance, the committee is recommending the full Board consider the fee adjustments and the creation of subfunds for the Building Inspection Fund. The committee did not adopt the ordinance at this meeting; the vote was to forward a recommendation to the Board.
The committee did not state specific dollar amounts or line-item fee changes in the hearing; detailed fee schedules were not specified in the committee record and will be included in the official file forwarded to the Board.
