PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
OUR FILE: PLN 20.2
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD- 242 -89 be received;
2. THAT the attached Bylaw detailing the fee schedule for various types of
Planning and Development applications, be APPROVED.
1. BACKGROUND:
1.1 The current fee schedule for various development applications was last
updated on July 1, 1988. Considerable time has lapsed since and it is
prudent to revise the fee structure in time for the preparation of the 1990
Budget.
1.2 Section 68 of the Planning Act allows the municipality to pass a by --law to
set out the fee structure for development applications to offset the
anticipated cost to the municipality in processing each type of application.

2. COMMENTS:
2.1 The "anticipated cost" in processing each type of application is not
defined in the Planning Act. However, most municipalities generally have
taken the approach to mean all costs excluding staff time. These costs
include postage, notices, stationary, photocopying, courier, site
inspection travel, phone, fax and other miscellaneous office overhead.
Staff have reviewed the process involved with each type of application,
taken into account of the frequencies of having to serve notices, hold
public meetings, conducting various follow-up, circulation of
application, etc. and arrive at an average cost for each type of
application. These costs are provided in the chart that follows.
2.2 In addition to setting out the fee structure, Staff also recommend that
an additional fee of $10,000. be imposed for those applications that
involve review and assessment under either the Environmental Protection
Act or the Environmental Assessment Act. This additional application
fee is to enable the municipality to recover part of its costs in
retaining professional consultant to review technical reports submitted
by the applicant.
