ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 53 -10 -08 of the City Manager of the City of Eugene PROPOSING THE AMENDMENT OF APPEAL FEES IN THE LAND USE APPLICATION FEE SCHEDULE ESTABLISHED BY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NOS. 53- 05 -084 53- 07 -11 -F, 53- 09 -03 -F AND 53- 10 -05 -F. The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: A. Section 2.020 and the provisions of Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code, 1971, authorize the City Manager to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of municipal property, and licenses and permits. B. In accordance with the above provisions, 'land use application fees have been established by Administrative Order No. 53- 05 -08 -F, and amended by Administrative order Nos. 53- 07 -11 -F, 53- 09 -03 -F and 53- 10 -05 -F. C. Staff has recommended amending the appeal fees in the Land Use Application Fee Schedule because the City wishes to ensure that Eugene's land use appeal fees continue to be reflective of the average actual cost to the City of preparing and conducting such appeals. By adopting appeal fees that require an appellant to pay for the actual of its specific land use appeal, the City will ensure consistency with Oregon law and obtain data from its most recent appeals. This data will enable the City to, at a later time, consider adoption of updated appeal fees in specific dollar amounts that reflect the average cost of those appeals. D. Based on staff's recommendation, I intend to amend the Land Use Application Fee Schedule as set forth on the Notice attached as Exhibit A to this order. E. In determining the fees, I have considered the applicable policies, enactments and directives of the City Council, the amount charged for similar services by the City in the past, the full costs of providing the services supported by the fees, the amounts charged by other comparable providers, and the revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted City budget. On the basis of these findings, I order that: 1. Copies of the Notice attached as Exhibit A to this order are to be provided to the Mayor and City Councilors, posted at two locations at City Hall, published in the Register -Guard Newspaper, be made available to persons who have requested such notice, and be made available for inspection by interested persons at the Planning & Development Department, Planning Administrative order - Page 1 of 2
