Completing the indirect cost allocation required the contributions of numerous city staff and included extensive interviews with key personnel from each department and an in depth review of all departmental budgets, The indirect cost allocation was used in conjunction with direct cost data collected during interviews with personnel from the Divisions of Building, Engineering, Planning and Fire Prevention to determine the total costs of providing plan review, building and ancillary inspections, permit processing, permit issuance, and plan maintenance services. It was determined that costs related to plan review were incurred by each of these divisions while costs related to inspections and permit processing were confined to Building and Engineering,2 1 Due to unpredictable fluctuations in annual permit volume it is unlikely that revenues will equal costs during any given year, Thus, a long run goal of equating revenues and costs was adopted. 2 The Division of Fire Prevention provides inspection services for numerous activities but the fees charged for these services were not included in this review. I The second step in the process of achieving the study goal was to collect data regarding types of building activities (e,g, new construction, additions, tenant improvements), pennit volume for each activity, and the relative time to complete each building-related service, These data were collected trom staff interviews and the Pennits Plus database, Since many pennit fees are based upon building valuation, it was necessary to further demarcate pennit volume for several valuation ranges, This required making adjustments to the building valuations recorded by Pennits Plus because the existing fees are based upon building valuations derived from tables published by Building Standards in 1993 and the proposed fees are based upon building valuations derived from tables published in the most recent edition of Building Standards,3 This procedure effectively eliminated the impact of changing the basis for building valuation to the most recent set of Building Standards tables and insured that any changes in pennit fees resulting from this study would be strictly representative of changes in total costs and the allocation oftotal costs to the various building activities. Next, total costs were allocated to the various building activities based upon pennit volume and the relative time required to complete each service, Since the building services provided for any given pennit potentially extend a year or more beyond the time of issuance, it was decided to base costs on the current year's budget and to base levels of service on the prior year's actual pennit volume, This methodology was chosen for two reasons, First, it insures that resource levels will always be sufficient to complete services in a timely manner. Second, it allows for simple, fair, and consistent annual adjustments to the building fee schedule because overcharging or undercharging during any given year is compensated for by the following year's fee update. For example, if pennit volume were to temporarily drop then the adjustment mechanism would increase fees in the subsequent year because total costs would now be spread over a smaller number of pennits, The opposite effect would occur if pennit volume were to increase substantially, If increases or decreases in pennit volume were deemed permanent then staffing levels would be adjusted accordingly resulting in fairly constant fees over the long run, Finally, the cost data were matched with the pennit volume data to arrive at fees for each type of service and activity, To facilitate the transition to the proposed fee schedule an effort was made to retain the structure ofthe current fee schedule as much as possible while concurrently simplifying it by eliminating redundant fees, For example, under the existing fee schedule the total pennit fee charged for a typical tract home includes building plan review fees, site plan and architectural review fees, building pennit fees, pennit issuance fees, unit fees based upon the number of plumbing, mechanical, and electrical fixtures, plan maintenance fees, and Certificate of Occupancy fees, Under the proposed fee schedule the fee for the same pennit would be comprised of a plan review fee and a pennit processing/inspection fee, Maintaining the existing fee structure while simplifying the fee schedule significantly reduces the cost of redesigning the Pennits Plus System to confonn to the proposed fee schedule. 3 The tables published by Building Standards are adjusted by the San Diego Area Chapter of the International Conference of Building Officials prior to use by the City ofChula Vista for establishing building valuation, 2 Two types of fees are being proposed as a result of this study: flat fees and valuation- based fees. Flat fees are proposed for any services where the level of effort required did not vary significantly enough to warrant disparate fees, Valuation-based fees were only proposed when a nexus existed between a buildings valuation and service costs, Basing certain fees on building valuation helped to improve equity among fee payers because building valuation accurately reflects design complexity, materials, square footage, and other features that affect the level of staff effort required, Using flat and valuation-based fees instead of charging on an hourly full cost recovery basis helped reduce record keeping costs and resulted in lower fees overall, However, it is important to note that the use of flat and valuation-based fees may require annual review and possible annual adjustments when permit volume or costs change significantly, For valuation-based fees, the valuation ranges were chosen to group together similar types of permits, Table I lists the valuation ranges being proposed and the most common types of permits in each range. Table 1: Proposed Valuation Ranges Total Valuation Most Common Permit Types $1 to $2,000 Masonry Walls, Roofing, City Standard Plans $2,001 to $100,000 Additions to Single Family Residences and Tenant Improvements $100,001 to $300,000 New Single Family Tract Homes $300,001 to $500,000 New Single Family Custom Homes and New Apartments / Condominiums $500,001 to $1,000,000 New Commercial Construction $1,000,001 and up New Commercial Construction and New Apartments / Condominiums The proposed changes to the City's existing Master Fee Schedule are presented in the appendix to this report, While the City's general policy has been to charge permit fees commensurate with the full cost of the services provided, some situations warrant modifying this policy in order to maintain public safety, Staff supports a policy that would provide a financial incentive to individuals that need to replace or repair equipment and/or materials that are essential to the maintenance of safe and habitable residences, By subsidizing the cost of certain minor residential permits such as water heaters, furnace replacements, gas line repairs, and the resetting of gas and electric meters, the City will be encouraging applicants to ensure that their repair work is being done in a safe and reliable manner, which will enhance safety for not only the individual residence but also the surrounding neighborhood. Other minor residential permits, such as patio covers, air conditioning systems and room additions, are not being recommended for subsidy because they do not constitute work that must be performed to maintain the safety and habitability of a structure and are elective actions, It is also appropriate to recognize that some homeowners will cite the cost of the permit as justification for not 3 obtaining the required permits, When this occurs it creates life safety issues for users of the structures as well as the immediate neighborhood and burdens the City's Code Enforcement Section with a duty to pursue correction of the violation. The cost associated with pursuing a code enforcement complaint exceeds the cost of the proposed subsidy for these types of minor permits. The types of permits being proposed for subsidy are only those for which homeowners have very limited control over the timing of the need for such repairs, Staffis proposing that fees for these types of permits be charged at 50% of the actual costs, The impact on the City's fiscal year 00 - 01 general fund resulting trom this action is estimate at $50,000 assuming that permit volume continues at its fiscal year 99 - 00 level. RECOMMENDATIONS Six key changes to the existing Master Fee Schedule are being recommended as a result of this study, I. Since the current policy of charging separate plan review fees for the Divisions of Planning, Building, Engineering, and Fire Prevention is cumbersome, A single fee schedule for plan review should be adopted that accurately captures the total costs incurred by these four divisions. 2. Since the amount of time required to review city standard and repetitive plans was not found to increase with building valuation, A flat fee for the review of all city standard and repetitive 4 plans should be adopted. 3, To ensure resource levels will always be sufficient to complete services which have been paid for in a timely manner and to ensure that fees are maintained at an equitable level, Fees for building-related services should be adjusted annually based on the current year's budgeted costs, the prior year's permit volume, and the most recently published Building Standards valuation tables. This adiustment mechanism mav reauire increasin{! or decreasin{! fees in future vears to keep pace with temporarv swin{!s in development activity. 4 The City maintains standard plans for patio covers, masonry walls, carports, and decks, Projects conforming to these standards do not require formal review by plan check engineers. Repetitive plans refer to plans identical to previously approved model plans, 4 4, The separate unit fee schedules for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits were found to be of little benefit when used in conjunction with building permits. In addition, they were found to be a hindrance to providing quick and accurate fee estimates. Therefore, The unit fee schedules should be eliminated and the costs associated with providing these services incorporated in the building permit fee. 5, To increase the likelihood that potentially dangerous residential repairs are performed in a safe and reliable manner and to reduce code enforcement costs, Permits for residential repairs that generally preclude a homeowner from planning for the expense of the repair (i.e. water heater replacements) should be subsidized at 50% of the actual costs of providing these services. 6, Interviews with personnel in the Division of Fire Prevention indicated a substantial amount of Fire Prevention staff time is being committed at no charge to the review and inspection of fire suppression and preventions systems. Therefore, Fees should be impIemented to cover the costs associated with the plan review and inspection of sprinkler systems, hydrant installations, fire alarm systems, and hood suppression systems. IMPACTS Adoption of the proposed changes to the Master Fee Schedule would affect numerous parties including large tract housing developers, building contractors, and individual home owners, In particular: · Permit fees for minor items such as water heater replacements and the addition of air conditioning units would increase but would still generally be lower than the average fee charged by other San Diego County jurisdictions, · The costs for permits to construct small structures such as patio covers, room additions, and masonry walls would rise slightly, · Developers of tract housing would pay somewhat higher fees for model home permits but substantially lower fees for each repetitive home in the tract. Thus, the permitting costs for a tract development under the proposed fee schedule would be much lower than the costs under the existing fee schedule, · The permit fees for custom homes and large commercial projects would generally (but not uniformly) increase slightly, 5 Table 2 lists a sampling of typical permits and compares the fees charged under the current and proposed Chula Vista fee schedules, These fees are also compared to an average of the fees charged by several other jurisdictions within San Diego County, The proposed fees for model and custom homes would be the highest of the five jurisdictions in the comparison, However, the proposed fees for repetitive homes and tract home developments would be the lowest in the County, For most other types of permits the proposed fees are fairly consistent with those being charged by other San Diego County jurisdictions, 6 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~ CJ)C1.) cr-ooOOOOOO\\Otr\O'\ 000 0 ~ r- 0 r- = rn Co)' .. .... \.0 N . .
