THAT Report WD-21-00 be received; 2. THAT the existing Building By-law 93-127 be rescinded on July 31, 2000; 3. THAT the proposed Building by-law (Attachment No. I) and Schedule "A" (Attachment No.2) with the changes noted in Report WD-21-00 be approved; 4. THAT the calculation of building pennit fees be changed from the present method, based on the ''Prescribed Value of Construction", to a method that is based on a "Pennit Cost per Square Foot of Building Area" as outlined in this report and in Schedule "A" (Attachment No.2); 5. THAT the proposed by-law (Attachment No. I) and Schedule "A" (Attachment No.2) become effective on July 31, 2000; and 6. THAT the proposed by-law attached to Report WD-21-00 be forwarded to Council for approval. .1.101 ~ REPORT NO.: WD-21-00 PAGE 2 REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No.1: Proposed by-law No.2: Schedule "A" 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 The Building Division of the Public Works Department is proposing to change the method of calculating charges for building permits. The proposed method utilizes a cost per floor area and will more accurately reflect the building permit fee and is also the method utilized by Toronto and the surrounding area municipalities. 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 The Building Code Act. 1992 authorizes Municipal Council to pass a by-law concerning the issuance of building permits and related matters. An amendment to the Building Act now allows municipalities to issue Conditional Permits and the requirement to have fences erected around construction sites. We are also changing the manner in which we charge for building permits to a method that has been developed and recommended by the Toronto Area Chief Building Official Committee (T.A.C.B.O.c.). This new method of calculating building permit fees will be based on a "Cost per Floor Area" of the building. The method presently being used to calculate building permit fees is based on the "Estimated Value of Construction". 3.2 The proposed by-law incorporates a number of changes that are summarized as follows: (1) The current by-law establishes a permit fee of $10.50 per $1000.00 of "Estimated Value of Construction.. The method of prescribed value is approximate and variable. Any reference to value can become controversial and subject to appeal. The prevailing concept of user fees holds that building permit fees should relate to the quality of services involved in reviewing construction projects. More 1102 '" REPORT NO.: WD-21-00 PAGE 3 complex buildings should be subject to higher fees than less complex buildings. Two buildings of equal complexity and size should be subject to similar fees. The value of construction is not a good indicator of building complexity. The Toronto Area Chief Building Officials Committee, of which Clarington is a member, has developed a methodology for evaluating permit fees that are based on a cost per floor area, rather than on value. The process designed by TACBOC has involved consultation with various construction groups such as the Greater Toronto Homebuilders' Association, the Toronto Construction Association and the Architects and Engineers Association. In addition, the Municipality of Clarington has had consultation with the Durham Region Homebuilders' Association regarding this proposed by-law. All of these organizations recognize the need for changes and support the new methodology. At the request of the Durham Homebuilders, we have allowed for a sixty (60) day waiting period before the new by-law becomes effective. This methodology has been adapted to fit the requirement of the Municipality of Clarington and would result in only a small increase in permit fees for the majority of applications. The new system is simpler to administer for both staff and the public. The majority of building permits that are issued would be for residential projects and the new system will result in an increase in permit fees of approximately 3.9% over last year. For example, we propose to charge $6.46/m2 ($.60 per sq. ft.) for residential permits (single family dwellings) and this would compare or be lower than other area municipalities, i.e. Oshawa at $6.46/m2 and Whitby, Ajax and Pickering at $8.50/m2. 1103 ~ REPORT NO.: WD-21-00 PAGE 4 (2) It is recommended that the Building By-law be amended to allow site protection at construction sites. This provision, in Section 7 (i) and (j) of the Building Code Act, states that Council may pass by-laws: i) requiring a person, to whom a permit is issued, to erect and maintain fences to enclose the site of the construction or demolition; and ii) prescribe the height and description of the fences required under Clause (i). The Chief Building Official will review a number of variables to determine if site protection is required, i.e. the proximity of the construction site to an occupied dwelling or to land accessible to the public, the hazards presented by the construction activities and material, the feasibility and effectiveness of the site fencing, and the duration of the hazard. (3) Provisions have been incorporated for the inclusion of the issuance of Conditional Permits. An administration fee of 10% of the permit fee will be applied, with the minimum fee being $100 and the maximum being $500. (4) An administrative fee of $150.00 will be applied when a permit is transferred from one owner to another. The existing fee is presently $25.00. (5) An Administration fee of$150.00 will be applied to each phase ofa project for which a partial permit is requested (i.e. footing and foundation permits). (6) An administration fee of $300.00 will be applied when a house model is changed on a plan of subdivision where plans have been previously reviewed for both models involved. 1104 ~ REPORT NO.: WD-21-00 PAGE 5 (7) A new fee of$75.00 has been instituted to offset the cost of inspection requested where previously identified deficiencies have not been corrected at the time of the requested re-inspection. This would also be instituted where the Builder calls for an inspection and the project is not ready to be inspected. The Durham Region Homebuilders' Association expressed a concern about this new fee. Staff assured them that the imposition of this fee would only occur after suitable warning and discussion had taken place, resulting from repeated occurrences on behalf of a builder. (8) In the previous by-law our refund policy only refunded 25% of the building permit fee once the permit has been issued. We felt that this resulted in the Municipality retaining too much of the permit fee, especially recognizing that no actual inspections would have taken place to this point in the process. Consequently, the by-law will be changed to allow for a 50% refund, more closely reflecting the cost incurred by the Municipality for issuing the permit. This will be a saving to the Builders. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 Most area municipalities have revised their Building by-law to a method based on a "Permit Cost per Square Foot of Building Area" as recommended by T ACBOC, with some minor variation. It is therefore recommended that the Municipality adopt the same recommended format and revise the Building by-law and building permit fee method accordingly, and that the by-law and permit fee be effective July 31,2000. 1105 .
