Development Fee Schedule Update
Summary
Planning and housing fees haven't been touched since 2014 — now the city wants to raise them to cover about half to three-quarters of what services actually cost, adding roughly $100,000 a year. There's also a new penalty for chopping down city trees without permission: $75 per inch of trunk, up to $10,000.

Impact analysis
About $100,000 in new annual revenue — nearly doubling what these fees bring in now — without touching building permit fees.
The city's general fund — and by extension taxpayers, who currently subsidize half the cost of development reviews.
Developers and property owners filing planning applications will pay more, though streamlined processes should offset some of the cost.
