HomeMy WebLinkAboutCVWD for Waiver of Fees PP 92-7 CITY OF PALM DESERT DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager and City Council FROM: Assistant City Manager/Director of Community Development DATE: November 19 , 1992 SUBJECT: Request for Fee Waivers by Coachella Valley Water District The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) has requested, as part of their precise plan application, the waiver of certain city fees (see attached letter dated 29 October 92 ) . CVWD has received approval to construct facilities at the Hovley site (Precise Plan 92-7 ; see staff report to planning commission attached) . The relocating of some of the agency' s facilities, services, and personnel will provide the city and its residents easier and quicker access to the district. The request for any reduction in fees can only be granted by city council and for this reason the issue is before you. Staff would recommend approval of the request. The inter-agency cooperation between Palm Desert and CVWD on various projects are just touched upon in Mr. Levy' s communication. In fully analyzing the request, it should be noted that the fees for which waiver is being requested will be offset by facilities constructed by CVWD ( i .e. signalization and drainage) . RAMON A.

As a public agency established under Section 30000 et seq of the California Water Code, the district is exempt from paying certain fees. As you know, we have not collected certain fees from the city in the past for city projects, based on a mutual understanding of reciprocity. In addition, we have agreed to allow the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (Redevelopment Agency) to use tax revenues of the district for improvements within the city including low and moderate income housing set aside, drainage and street improvements. In reviewing the list of proposed fees known presently to be assessed at the time a building permit is issued, we believe the district should be exempt from those discussed below. 1. School Tax. We are writing Desert Sands Unified School District for a waiver. \ 2. Low Income Housing Mitigation Fee. We believe the district should be exempt due to its cooperation with the Redevelopment Agency for use of district tax revenue for low income housing set aside. Also, we are currently assisting the Redevelopment Agency in the development of a low and moderate housing development on Fred Waring in deferring the installation of slope protection along the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel and deferring the payment of fees for domestic water and sanitation. In addition, as indicated above, we are exempt from paying these types of fees. TRUE CONSERVATION USE WATER WISELY • ' A Bruce Altman, City Manager -2- October 29, 1992 3. Public Works Fees. A. Permit Fees for Grading and Street Improvements. We would expect to pay only the plan check fees associated with these improvements. B. Signalization Fees. The district will be installing a signal on Hovley Lane which should be credited against the signalization fees and reimbursed from the city's signalization fund. C. Drainage Fees. The district has permitted tax revenues to be used by the Redevelopment Agency for drainage within the city. Therefore, the district should not be required to pay drainage fees. D. Traffic Uniform Mitigation Fee. The district as a public agency is exempt from the Traffic Uniform Mitigation Fee. 4. Building Department Fees. A. Building Permit Fees. Again, we would expect to pay only the plan checking fees, exclusive of the permit fees. B. Art in Public Spaces. As a public agency, we do not believe the �. '• district is subject to this fee. ' ; We believe it is appropriate for the district to pay only those fees for direct / services provided by the city. This would include plan checking and other directly related services.
