Council approves zoning-clearance and ADU plan-check fees; updates outdoor dining fee language
Summary
Council adopted amendments to the planning and parklet fee schedule, adding a $235 zoning-clearance fee and a $600 fixed plan-check fee for pre-approved ADU plans and renaming the parklet schedule to include outdoor dining and merchandising.
The council adopted updates to the city’s planning construction-permit and parklet (outdoor dining and merchandising) fee schedule on June 23. Staff proposed adding a $235 fixed zoning-clearance fee to standardize and cost-recover staff time for parcel research and a $600 fixed plan-check fee for pre-approved accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans. The parklet fee schedule’s language was revised to explicitly accommodate outdoor dining and merchandising while keeping existing fee levels; staff explained the lower fee for closures reflects differences in parking impacts.
