Master Fee Schedule

(4/5ths Vote: Yes___ No~)
The City Council has identified the Environmental Review Committee as the body which
is to make recommendations to the Council regarding environmental review fees. Since the
onset of the Environmental Review Procedures in 1972, the Council has indicated that the
costs for environmental review of private projects should be recovered through fees. The
fees have not been evaluated since early 1977 and, therefore, recent inflationary trends
have not been reflected.
B. RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution adding the environmental review fees and deposits to the Master
Fee Schedule.
C. DISCUSSION
1. Attached are the following exhibits:
a. The average costs involved in conducting an initial study, preparing a
negative declaration and processing the negative declaration, Exhibit #1.
b. A comparison of the existing and proposed Chula Vista fees and deposits with
other agencies in San Diego County, Exhibit #2.
c. A summary of the existing proposed fees and deposits, Exhibit #3.
d. The proposed text to be added to the Master Fee Schedule, Exhibit #4.
2. The proposed initial study-negative declaration fee covers the current costs and
is similar to other agencies which recover costs through fees. There may be a slight
increase in costs due to the new notice and hearing requirements, however, this is not
anticipated to be significant.
3. The preparation and processing of an EIR has been on a cost recovery basis for years.
The basic deposit is recommended for increase to reflect present minimum costs.
4. Other fees have been increased to cover the estimated processing costs involved in
new procedures. Additionally, fees are proposed for certain staff work which was not
previously listed in the Master Fee Schedule.
