SUBJECT: AREA GENERAL PLANS--STAFF COST RECOVERY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Knowing how many general plan review requests have been backed
up within the Planning Department, it has become increasingly clear to
me that there is an extensive amount of staff time involved in these
general plan review projects. It is also clear to me that with addi-
tional staff (and money to fund staff efforts) these projects could be
completed in a more timely fashion. Recently, .we have reviewed the Rodeo
and Crockett areas and asked the staff to review the Oakley area. Last
Tuesday, we further identified the need for a general plan review of
about 28 acres in the Walden area.
I see no problem with identifying all staff costs that go into
such general plan reviews (not only in the Planning Department and Public
Works Department and any other department involved, but perhaps even
account for the supervisors and staff time) and then spreading these costs
to future applications of property that have benefitted from higher land
use entitlements because of the general plan review process.
I believe some kind of rational system could be developed to pay
back the costs of these general plan projects to the county. Having these
projects completed in a more timely fashion benefits not only the county
and the public in having an updated general plan available, but can also
save developers considerable time and money as well.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer this concept to the County Administrator,
County Counsel, Planning and Public Works to develop a report on how such
a program of staff cost recovery for general plan reaiews could be imple-
mented.
