• conditions and the potential negative impacts when long dormant uses are reestablished. $20.04.015 Update Height of Fence Subject to Building Permit to Match State Law — The California Building Code now requires a building permit for fences 7 feet or taller. The proposed change would exempt fences under 7 feet in height from the requirement to obtain a building permit. The law previously required a permit if a fence was over 6 feet tall. Master Fee Schedule - The proposed resolution is Attachment 2. Retiree Medical Administrative & Late Fees - The Master Fee Schedule is proposed to be amended to add administrative fees for retirees who must pay a portion of their medical insurance premiums, but who do not use an ACH [automatic clearing house] payment program. Failure to use ACH requires City staff to print and mail a monthly invoice, then manually process payments. A monthly $5 administrative fee is proposed for those retirees not using ACH. Additionally, a $25 late payment fee is proposed for when a payment is not received by the due date specified on the invoice, as City staff must contact the retiree by mail or phone, as well as interact with the retiree's insurance provider about whether non-payment means cancellation or that insurance should stay in effect. These fees are less that actual costs, and will effect only about four percent of retirees. Parking Penalties - The Master Fee Schedule is proposed to be amended to add: 1. A parking fine of $56 for persons parking vehicles on City property where a time limit is posted. Staff intends to post 4 hour parking time limits at the Marilyn Kane Murphy Trailhead parking lot on the Bernal Property. This is in response to residents' complaints that all of the parking spaces are used by park-and-ride type commuters who park their vehicles from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Regular trail users state that they cannot park their cars in order to walk on the trail on weekdays, as there are no parking spaces available. Staff observation confirms that parking spaces are used on weekdays for commuter parking. Staff expects that with posted time limits and parking fines, such commuter monopoly of the parking lot will stop. The $56 fine is the same fine for exceeding a four hour parking limit on City streets. 2. A parking fine of $56 for persons parking vehicles in designated electric vehicle (EV) parking spaces when the vehicle is: (a) not an EV; (b) an EV that is not connected for charging; (c) an EV that is not charging; and (d) an EV charging more than four hours. This is to address concerns about mis-use or overuse of such parking spaces. Agricultural Mitigation Fee — The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan established an agricultural mitigation fee for land lost to development which could have been suitable for agriculture.
