The Hillsborough City Council reviewed a user fee study for the Building & Planning Department on April 13 and discussed policy choices for fee adoption.
Management Assistant Nicole De Lancie presented the staff report and Khushboo Ingle, Vice President of Matrix Consulting Group, provided additional information about proposed fee updates. Council discussion highlighted proposed subsidies for accessory dwelling unit (ADU) fees and questions about increasing the tree removal fee.
