Dear Ms. Crews:
Thank you for your submittal of a preliminary application for the construction of a new second

The construction of a new second residential dwelling unit would require the following
application approval:

Resources Inventory and will require review and comment by the Historic Preservation
Board. The Board meets the fourth Wednesday of every month.
2. Planned Development Permit: In order to construct a new second residential dwelling unit,
the project will require the approval of a Planned Development Permit. This will require
consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council through the public hearing
process. Planning Division fees associated with this application include the Planned
Development Permit application fee, which is currently $7,460, a Fire Department
application fee, which is currently $65, and the current Park In Lieu fee at 6-13 units per
gross acre, which is currently $9,415. Fees from the other departments will be required for
this project and each department should be contacted for the specific amounts.
