Work group details waiver process: per-waiver, per-unit fees and checklist form
Summary
Staff said the waiver will be completed by the applicant and developed and reviewed by DPIE, with fees assessed per waiver per dwelling unit (example: $245 per waiver item). The work group confirmed the waiver checklist and threshold limits remain in the draft.
The work group reviewed the proposed waiver process for universal design requirements and confirmed administrative mechanics: applicants complete a waiver checklist, DPIE reviews the waiver, and fees are charged per requested waiver per dwelling unit.
A staff member explained the waiver "is to be completed by the applicant and the waiver is developed by DPIE, and that DPIE will review the waiver." She added the administrative fee is assessed per waiver per dwelling unit, using $245 as the minimum in the resolution attachment and a 5% technology fee for processing.
Members discussed the waiver threshold: waivers granting relief for more than 50% of dwelling units should not be permitted; the resolution language retains the 50% cap. Staff said the fee table will be attached to the resolution so future fee adjustments can be made via resolution rather than by amending code.
