Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance amending the Zoning and Development Code, Chapter 4, Article I, Section 4-14 of the Code of Ordinances (2018 edition), regarding inspection fees. (First Reading)*
Body
Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances contains all fees related to city functions, including development fees. These fees are only established and modified by City Council, similar to all other sections of the Code of Ordinances. The Planning & Zoning Commission is a review and recommending body on amendments to the Zoning and Development Code only, which is a separate part of the regulatory framework for the City of Round Rock. The subdivision inspection fee, which is assessed on the construction of public improvements as part of private development, appears in both Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances and in the text of the Zoning and Development Code. Proposed Revision: This code revision deletes the subdivision inspection fee from the Zoning and Development Code, leaving Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances as the sole source of the fee and matching the placement of all other city fees. This change will reduce duplication and potential occurrences of conflict or confusion.
This Item was unanimously recommended by Planning and Zoning Commission at its November 2, 2022 meeting (9-0). There were no speakers during the public hearing.
