Commission adopts fee schedule updates and sets schedule for data-center regulations; staff previews floodplain remapping

Jun 2, 2026

The Commission recommended updates to the Planning & Zoning fee schedule (first change since 1997), approved higher fees for certain conditional uses (data centers, solar, wind), and received a briefing on draft floodplain remapping and an accelerated schedule for data-center regulations and BOCC work sessions.

The full story

Planning staff presented a revised Planning and Zoning fee schedule that would increase several administrative fees (zoning change fee from $300 to $400, CUP fee from $400 to $500), add an Administrative Lot Split fee, and create scaled fees and pre-application review charges for large-scale Conditional Use Permit applications such as data centers, solar projects and commercial wind. Commissioners accepted the proposed schedule and voted 5-0 to forward the update to the Board of County Commissioners.
