Description of Proposed Text Amendment
June 07, 2022
Petition No. 22-002-TA
City staff has identified that the City's current fee for Joinder Applications is not warranted. Applications
for Joinders of parcels or lots typically require substantially less technical review and are typically
associated with lower chances of negative zoning effects than a subdivision plat review or a de minimis
subdivision. Thus, the associated fees should appropriately reflect the level of staff investment and staff
is recommending that the city reduce the application fee for Joinder Applications from $500.00 to
$100.00. Doing so will also provide a financial incentive for prospective applicants to abide by the City's
established application process for joinders. The proposed text amendment is limited to Appendix C of
the City's Land Development Code as shown below. If approved, staff will also update the Joinder
Application accordingly.

CHARGES
