At its meeting of August 24, 2017, the Planning Council voted to recommend to the Broward County Board of County Commissioners that the fees charged for processing Broward County Land Use Plan amendments, Broward County Trafficways Plan amendments and waiver requests, recertification of municipal land use plan amendments, and requests for written platting determinations and interpretation/confirmation letters be revised to reflect the associated increase in cost. It is noted that the proposed fees were studied in 2012 but have not been updated since June, 2010. The proposal reflects the results of the 2012 study, inclusive of wage and CPI variations.
The purpose of this agenda item is to request the setting of a public hearing on November 7, 2017, to consider revisions to the referenced fee schedule as follows:
Process Current and Proposed Fees
County Map Amendments* Current $12,146 Proposed $17,625
Trafficways Plan Amendments Current $6,798 Proposed $5,828
Trafficways Plan Waivers Current $5,456 Proposed $5,349
Municipal Recertifications Current $1,906 Proposed $2,552
Plat Interpretation Letters Current $106/308 Proposed $144/414
Interpretation/Confirmation Letters Current $145/250 Proposed $195/337
*Includes recertification; plus courtesy notification and legal display advertisement cost recovery.
The action by the Planning Council included a fee waiver for affordable housing land use plan amendments and a request for annual fee increases based on wage and CPI variations.
Further, if the County Commission sets the Public Hearing, a full report and associated attachments will be included as exhibits to the public hearing item.
