Ordinance 21-1560 — Amending Chapter 1, General Administration Section 1- 4.3(D), Schedule of Building Permit Fees, for Replacement by Resolution The City Clerk read Ordinance 21-1560 by title, as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, RELATING TO BUILDING PERMIT FEES, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, PART III, UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, CHAPTER I, GENERAL ADMINISTRATION, ARTICLE IV, BUILDING CODE, SECTION 1-4.3, BUILDING PERMITS, SECTION 1-4.3(D), SCHEDULE OF BUILDING PERMIT FEES; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Community Development Director Chris Bowley stated that approval on first reading of Ordinance 21-1560 which amends Chapter 1, General Administration, Section 1-4.3(D), Schedule of building permit fees is requested. The City of Casselberry is subject to Florida Statutes Section 553.80 in the administration of the Florida Building Code and an important part of that administration is the assessment and accounting of the Building Division's operational fees to better manage the program. This includes activities such as permitting costs, application fees, inspection, reinspection, and permit issuance by activity type. The current fees were adopted by ordinance and are located within Section 1-4.3(D), Schedule of building permit fees, in the Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDR's) and these fees have not been reviewed and assessed in some time. Therefore, Ordinance 21-1560 is being presented for consideration by the City Commission to address those fees and also to clarify and update some language contained in the current ordinance and remove outdated language such as references to the Southern Building Code Congress International, which is a document that is no longer used. The review of the fee structure per permit type was done by staff, the City's Building Official and a consultant who provided comparisons of the City's fees with other jurisdictions and made recommendations for updated fees. Mr. Bowley advised that the second reading of the ordinance would be brought back for consideration by the City Commission and subsequently, a resolution would be drafted which would include the proposed new fee structure. Discussion: Discussion ensued regarding the process for updating the permit fee structure, including when second reading of the ordinance and the resolution would be brought before the Commission for adoption
