ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA, AMENDING CHAPTER X (BUILDING AND
HOUSING) OF THE CITY'S MASTER FEE SCHEDULE BY
INCREASING BUILDING PERMIT FEES TO REFLECT
INCREASED CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, as part of its strong commitment to promoting the health and safety of the
community at large, the City of Chula Vista currently requires and conducts a comprehensive set
of building-related inspections on all new construction; and
WHEREAS, the recent adoption of a new National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board has created
the need for extensive additional inspections to ensure that the City remains in compliance with
the compulsory requirements of the permit; and
WHEREAS, the City's current inspection staff is insufficient to carry out this increased
workload and additional staffing is therefore required; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending an adjustment to the building permit fees to reflect
the increased costs associated with inspection of new construction; and
WHEREAS, the increased fees will not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing
the inspection as required by California Government code Section 66014.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1: Findings.
The City Council finds, after consideration of the evidence presented to it, that certain
amendments for processing and inspecting pursuant to Chapter X of the City's Master Fee
Schedule are necessary in order to assure that fees related to building permitting and inspections
provided by the City are actually based on current operations, development volume and service
provision costs and that such costs are applied equitably to those receiving City services.
SECTION 2. Chapter X (Building and Housing) of the City's Master Fee Schedule is hereby
amended as set forth in Attachment A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference as if set
forth in full.
SECTION 3. Time limit for protest and judicial action.
Any judicial action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void or annul this ordinance
shall be brought within the time period as established by law.
In accordance with Government Code Section 66020(d)(1), the ninety day approval
period in which parties may protest begins upon the effective date of this ordinance.
SECTION 4. This ordinance shall become effective on the sixtieth day from and after its
adoption.
