Re: Amendment to the Development Review Fee Schedule
"�e5ola o-( �AV . %0 - 3q
Summary
The Development Review Fee Schedule needs to be updated with additional fees for new review
processes that are included in the recently adopted Avon Development Code (the "ADC'). The ADC fee
requirements (Sec 7.02.100) also include a cost recovery provision, which obligates "all development
applications to... pay the Town in full for all costs incurred for the review of a development application ".
The fee provision requires the Town to charge applicants for the costs associated with the review of an
application that exceed the initial application fee.
The revised Development Review Fee Schedule is attached as Exhibit A. The Schedule includes seven
new review processes and fees (highlighted in RED). The Staff Hourly Rates at the bottom of the
schedule will be used to calculate review time and expenses to be charged to the application.
The current development review fee schedule was adopted by Council Resolution 06 -01. Resolution 10-
34: Revising Fee Schedules for Zoning, Construction Works within the Public Ways, Subdivision and
Design and Development Review, is attached as Exhibit B.
Background
New Review Fees
The Avon Development Code was adopted by the Town Council on November 9, 2010 and became
effective on November 16, 2010. The ADC unified the previous zoning and subdivisions regulations and
added seven new review procedures:
• Minor Change to Preliminary PUD
• Minor Amendment to Final PUD
• Alternative Equivalent Compliance
• Right -of -Way Vacation
• Vested Property Rights
• Location, Character and Extent Review
• Lot Line Adjustment
The Revised Fee Schedule is color coded to show the new processes and fees in RED, and the
existing review fees in black. The proposed new fees reflect the amount of staff time spent to process a
standard application. Any additional costs and expenses associated with the review of an individual
application will be charged to the applicant pursuant to the cost recovery provisions of the Code.
Cost Recovery Fee Provision
Pursuant to the new cost recovery provisions of the Code, each application is set up as a "pass through
account' and the Application Fee becomes an initial deposit and retainer by the applicant. As staff
review time is billed to the project and the initial deposit is depleted; the applicant makes an additional fee
deposit. Any amount remaining in the account at the conclusion of the process is returned to the
applicant. If an applicant is delinquent in making a fee deposit for a period of thirty (30) days or more, the
Town will apply interest to the delinquent fees until payment is made. All delinquent fees will be subject
to a lien on the property.
Initial Application Fee
The Application Fees generally reflect the average amount of staff time spent to process a standard
development review application. The list of tasks associated with the review process by Planning,
Engineering and the Town Attorney include, but are not limited to:
A. Reviewing plans /submittal packages
B. Routing plans to and communicating with inter -office departments and outside agencies
C. Researching documents relative to site history
D. Site visits
E. Consulting with applicant and /or other interested parties either in person or by phone
F. Preparing environmental documents
G. Drafting of staff reports
H. Preparing pertinent maps, graphs and exhibits
I. Attending meetings /public hearings before the Planning Commission and Council
J. Plan checking subdivision, parcel and final maps and subdivision improvement plans
Below is an analysis of the review costs associated with a typical Design /Development application and a
Subdivision /Final Plat application. The relationship of the Application Fee to actual costs incurred by the
Town during a review process can vary dramatically. Typically, the Fee covers the preliminary review by
Town Staff and one meeting with the Commission and /or Council depending on the application.
Also included with the cost analysis is a comparison of fees from other jurisdictions in Summit and Eagle
Counties for similar reviews.

PUD (Major)
1. Initial Application Fee: $2,000
2. Estimated Staff Review Time and Costs. Given the multitude of possible application scenarios,
there is not a "typical" PUD application. However, it is
worth noting that the Town of Avon has a significantly
lower initial application fee for this type of review,
compared to other nearby jurisdictions.
Fee Comparison for Similar Review: Vail $6,000
Eagle County $6,090
Breckenridge $4,510 + $75 /sf
Summit County $3,560 + $175/du
RECOMMENDATION
The new Avon Development Code included seven new development review processes. The proposed
new fees for those applications represent the average amount of staff review time for a typical application.
If costs for an individual application exceed the initial application fee, the applicant will be charged for
those costs pursuant to the new fee requirements of the Code.
The Application Fees have not been revised since 2006, and therefore do not always reflect the actual
costs and expenses incurred by the Town to process a development application. This is particularly true
with large PUD applications and more complex subdivision applications that require public improvements.
The cost recovery polices enable the Town to recoup expenses from individual applicants, without
increasing the base application fees.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No 10 -34: Revising Fee Schedules for Zoning, Subdivision and
Design and Development Review Applications.
