Commission to think about voluntary compliance, and then adding in fees down the road after seeing what the impact might be. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner O'Connor stated that he knows beekeeping involves a fee but that he did not see one in the staff report. Ms. Amos replied that the dollar amount was not included the staff report. She indicated that staff kept the fee similar to that of a Conditional Use Permit, which is a one -time $150 fee. She added that there is no fee for the inspection. Commissioner Balch inquired what the fee is for a sign. Ms. Amos replied that it is $15 and added that Planning staff does not have to go out and inspect on a sign. Commissioner Balch commented that Planning does not need to go out and inspect on a bee hive either: Code Enforcement does. Ms. Amos clarified that Code Enforcement would inspect through Planning, but the Building Division inspects on a sign. Commissioner Balch inquired if those are not Community Development. Ms. Amos replied that they are part of Community Development but not part of Planning. She explained that Community Development has separate Divisions, including Building and Safety, Planning, Engineering, and Traffic Engineering. Commission Balch stated that he is going to draw the line because he is a little bit concerned of the cost, and inquired what the cost for a dog license is. Ms. Amos replied that that dog licensing is done through another Department; it costs about $9 for three years but is subject to renewal. Commissioner O'Connor noted that considering an appeal to the Council takes up staff time and Council time, the permit fee for beekeeping would be very cheap. Commissioner Balch clarified that an applicant would file for a license for $150, which he thinks is steep; then staff sends out a seven -day notice within a 150 -foot radius, and then it goes from there; and if someone complaints or comments, which warrants a denial, the applicant will want to appeal. He inquired how much it would cost to appeal a Zoning Administrator's decision. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 28, 2015 Page 9 of 17
