ORDINANCE NO. 6019 (EMERGENCY) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING APPENDIX 1, DEVELOPMENT CODE FEES, OF THE SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ADD A FEE FOR AN "ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT APPLICATION," AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD FINDS THAT: 1. The Springfield Development Code (SDC) was adopted by the Springfield City Council on May 5, 1986, and amendments thereto were subsequently adopted by Ordinance. A fee for an Accessory Dwelling Unit Application is necessary to recover the costs of the application. Findings in support of adoption of these amendments to the SDC are set forth below: 3. The proposed fee is consistent with City Council policy to achieve full recovery of the average cost of processing land use applications. b. A comprehensive study of the average cost of processing land u~e applications was conducted by the City in 1999 and the results of that study have been updated by a cost of living increase (COLA) in 2000. c. The fee increases are consistent with the facts of the fee recovery study and reflect the true and average cost of processing such land use applications. Based on the above record of findings, the City Council concludes that the SDC amendments are consistent with the Council policy on fee recovery for city services. 2. 3. 4. Now, therefore, based on the above findings, THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD CITY COUNCIL DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section I: Appendix 1, DEVELOPMENT CODE FEES ofthe Springfield Development Code, is hereby amended the following fee: r..'.'. .. ..
