Set Public Hearing For <br /> NOMINATION OF PROPERTIES TO THE SANTA ANA <br /> REGISTER OF HISTORICAL PROPERTIES <br /> CONTINUED TO ~ ~ <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> 1. Approve and adopt Ordinance Amendment No. 2009-02 to add section 30- <br /> 2.4 to the Santa Ana Municipal Code establishing a fee requirement <br /> for applications to designate a building on the city Register of <br /> Historical Properties, or appeal to the City Council. <br /> 2. Adopt a resolution establishing the application and appeal fee, and <br /> adding these fees to the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> In March 2009, the City Council adopted a resolution that provided for a <br /> comprehensive update of the City's development processing fees and <br /> instituted several new fees. The new fee structure was the result of an <br /> extensive study by both City staff the consulting firm of MGT of America, <br /> Inc. and resulted in fees based on actual cost for service. However, the <br /> list of new fees did not include a fee for private party nominations of <br /> properties to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. Since the <br /> establishment of the Register the staff services required to place a <br /> private property on the Register have been provided pro bono. Given the <br /> City's current and future projected budget status, the amount of staff <br /> work required to place private properties on the Register, and the <br /> current inventory of properties already listed on the Register, staff <br /> believes that it is now prudent to institute a fee for private party <br /> nominations of properties to the Santa Ana Register of Historical <br /> Properties. <br /> Fee Methodology <br /> The methodology used to study the appropriate fee amount to be <br /> established analyzed both the direct and indirect costs associated with <br /> <br /> providing the listing services. Direct costs were calculated by <br /> determining the actual time and materials involved in processing the <br /> 75A-1 <br /> <br />
