City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers
From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director
Date: October 1, 2018
Item: 1st Reading\Order Public Hearing: City Code Amendment – Community
Development and Building Fees Council Action Requested: Consider 1st Reading and schedule a public hearing of the attached amendment to
Hastings City Code Chapter 34.03 – Fee Schedule. Upon consideration of 1st Reading a
public hearing and 2nd Reading would occur at the October 15th City Council Meeting. A simple majority is necessary for action.
Background Information:
Proposed fee changes include the following:
• Increasing the current $50 fee to $75 for all zoning permits including accessory structure, above ground swimming pools, and decks. Changes are consistent with
the $75 fence fee increase as part of the 2018 budget; proposed changes were
intended to take place at that time.
• Establishing a Home Occupation Permit Renewal Fee of $50.00 consistent with the existing permit.
• Increasing the fee for a zoning ordinance from $12.00 to $20.00
• Eliminating the Fence Fees currently under the Building Department. The fee is currently charged under the zoning department.
Financial Impact:
Fee increases better reflect staff time in processing permits. Zoning Permit fees
have not been raised in nearly 10 years. Advisory Commission Discussion: N\A
Council Committee Discussion: N\A
