<br />Fiscal Impact of Proposed Fee Changes
<br /> Assuming development activity remains relatively stable, the proposed fee changes are
<br />anticipated to generate roughly $148,000.
<br />
<br />The table below summarizes the annual revenue by division for the past four years. Building revenue is
<br />the largest source of revenue and fees are set to cover the cost of service. In some cities, building
<br />revenues are handled as a separate enterprise fund, however, in the City of San Leandro the revenue is
<br />deposited into the General Fund and expenses are budgeted out of the General Fund.
<br />
<br />The increase in Advanced Planning fee revenues is due to an adjustment in the Community Planning Fee
<br />that went into effect on July 1, 2014. The Community Planning Fee was established to cover costs
<br />associated with advanced planning and zoning code update initiatives including the General Plan and
<br />Housing Element. The methodology for collection was revised to collect 0.3% of the construction
<br />valuation on all building permits.

<br />
<br />Anticipated Revenues Before Fee Changes are Based on Anticipated FY 17/18 Budget Adjustments
<br />For the last several years, budgeted revenue forecasts for development fees have been less than actual
<br />revenues collected. Beginning FY 17/18 staff recommends modification of the revenue budget to more
<br />closely align to revenues received in the prior year.
