MEMORANDUM
OREGON
TO: Douglas J. Schmitz, City Manager
FROM: Stephan Lashbrook, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Planning Inspection Fees
DATE: June 10, 2002
Action:
Adopt Resolution#02-33 revising fees and charges as shown in the Master Fees and Charges booklet, for
the City of Lake Oswego—calendar year 2002.
Background:
In the course of preparing the budget for fiscal year 2002-03, the planning staff recommended that we
institute a fee at the time of building permit issuance that is specifically intended to cover the costs
incurred by planning staff in reviewing the proposed building permits and conducting follow-up
inspections. Although collected at the same time, this fee is separate from the actual building permit fee.
An additional part of this involves charging a re-inspection fee to cover the cost of having planners return
to job sites and conduct repeat inspections when required work is not accepted on the initial inspection. It
is not uncommon for development projects to require multiple re-inspections by planning staff, partly
because the City does not currently charge for that service.
State law limits the fees that can be charged for planning services in reviewing development applications.
Such fees cannot exceed our actual average costs. Staff evaluated Planning costs in reviewing applications
for building permits in calendar year 2001, including inspections completed by planners, in order to
determine our actual average costs. We also contacted other cities to see if they charge a similar fee.
The City of Wilsonville has charged a comparable fee for approximately ten years. Wilsonville charges
$100 for planning staff review of building permits for one or two-family dwellings and charges up to
$7,500 per building (the greater of$300, or .4% of building value) for all other construction. Wilsonville
also charges $50 for each re-inspection if a development fails a final planning inspection.
The City of Roseburg charges a"site review" fee of$100 for one or two-family dwellings and $350, plus
15% of the building permit fee, for all other construction applications.

Recommendation:
The staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution#02-33, enacting the following fees,
1. Building plans/ Site review fee for single-family dwellings on infill lots (not approved as part
of a minor partition/subdivision): $100.
This fee will cover costs in the following areas: a) initial review, b) preparing a letter to the
applicant outlining any omissions in the application, c) 2nd review and approval, assuming all
issues have been satisfactorily addressed.
2. Building plans/ Site review fee for single-family dwellings or townhomes approved as a part of
a minor partition/subdivision/planned development application: $250.
This fee will cover the same costs as above, plus research time and final inspections that would
be required to assure compliance with conditions of approval.
3. Building plans/Site review fee for non-single family residential development, including
apartments, commercial, industrial and institutional uses: $500.
The fee will cover the same costs as items 1 and 2, above,plus multiple plan reviews and
inspections that are generally associated with these types of development.
3. Re-inspection fee: $50, if multiple "final" applications are required.
If these fees had been in place during 2001, they would have generated approximately$25,000 in
additional revenue. It should be noted that the approved budget for 2002-03 does include $25,000 in
projected revenue from this source.
