Summary

Council approved administrative updates to Gatlinburg Planning Department fees discussed at the Oct. 21 workshop, including several small increases and a few new fees; staff said no ordinance change was required and updates appear on checklists/forms.

Staff presented proposed changes to several Gatlinburg Planning Department fees that were previously discussed at the Oct. 21 workshop. Examples cited by staff included increases in some fees from $50 to $100 and from $25 to $100, plus the addition of a couple of new fees. Staff explained these are administrative updates to checklists and forms rather than amendments to the zoning ordinance, so an ordinance is not required.

The board moved, seconded, and approved the fee updates on a business-item vote by voice. Planning Director Dalton York is referenced in the meeting memo as providing detail on the proposed fee schedule. The changes will be reflected in departmental materials and the planning checklist and implemented by staff.
