MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Mayor and City Council
THRU:
Steve Barwick, City Manager
FROM:
Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director
RE:
Amendment to Zoning Fees in Approved 2001 Fee Ordinance
DATE:
February 12,2001
SUMMARY: The Community Development Director has identified an error in the
calculation of zoning fees as was approved in City Council Ordinance 57, series of 2000.
An amendment to the approved fee ordinance is required in order to correct the zoning fee
scale. City Council has the authority to approve an amendment to the City of Aspen Fees.
Staff recommends that City Council approve the requested amendment to the City of
Aspen Zoning Fees.
APPLICANT: City of Aspen Community Development Department.
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 57, series of 2000 approved new building plan check fees by
zoning. It was brought to the attention of the Community Development Director that the
new fees were in error. The zoning fees .are based on the square footage of a proposed
structure that is being reviewed for a building permit. It was found that the new fees that
were approved were incorrect in that as the square footage increased over certain thresholds
on the fee scale, the fees would decrease rather than increase. The Community Development
Staff wishes to correct the zoning fee scale so that as the square footage of a proposed
building increases, the fee will as well. Staff also recommends an amendment to include a
zoning fee of $25.00 and a plan check fee of $25.00 to pay for the cost of reviewing bear
trash containers as is required pursuant to Ordinance 30, Series of 1999.
STAFF COMMENTS: A fee ordinance amendment is necessary to correct an error in the
zoning plan check fees for building permits. The proposed zoning plan check fees are
attached in Exhibit A. The current zoning plan check fees are attached as Exhibit B.Staff
offers the following example to illustrate the problem in the current fee schedule. We
compare a 3,500 square foot house to a 3,501 square foot house. Pursuant to the approved
fees the 3,500 square foot structure would be $890.00 and the fee for the 3,501 square foot
structure would be $490.00. The proposed zoning plan check fees would correct this error.
The fee ordinance amendment to include a zoning and building plan check fee for bear proof
trash containers will help staff pay for the cost of reviewing building permits required for
bear proof trash containers.

RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development Department recommends that

check fees as proposed in Exhibit A.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve Ordinance No. l~, Series of 2001,
allowing the fee ordinance to be amended to cOrrect the zoning plan check fee scale and to
include a building and zoning plan check fee for the review of building permits applications
for bear proof trash containers".
