Analysis
This ordinance clarifies the exemption of governmental units from permit and plan examination fees. It also makes the following changes to the plan examination fee schedule:
1. Specific permit fee provisions for "odd structures" (e.g., parking lots, reviewing stands and tank towers) are eliminated. The fees for work on such structures are included with the fees for commercial buildings.
2. Plan examination fees for most types of work shall be computed on the basis of square footage. Currently, the plan examination fee for an alteration project is based on the cost of construction.
3. The fee for review of hazardous liquid storage system plans is increased from $125 to $250.
4. A fee of $350 for transmission tower plan review is created.
