INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Community Development Committee
FROM: Nora Gierloff, DCD Director
BY: Max Baker, Development Supervisor
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 7, 2022
SUBJECT: Updated DCD Permit Fees
ISSUE
The City's fee schedule needs to be adjusted to: (1) ensure the City is accurately recovering
permit review costs, (2) remove inaccurate permit types, and (3) reflect recent updates to the
wireless code.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance 2660 was adopted on October 4th, 2021 which modified TMC Chapter 18.58,
"Wireless Communication Facilities" to establish new permitting and aesthetic requirements for
wireless communications facilities in response to the enactment of new regulations by the FCC.
As a result of this adoption a number of permit types related to wireless facilities are no longer
accurate and are in need of replacement. Additionally, it was found that a number of Decision
Types relating to tree and landscape permits adopted as part of fee Resolution 2012 needed
revising to accurately reflect regulations set forth in the TMC.
DISCUSSION
To ensure consistency with the updates to TMC Chapter 18.58, Staff proposes that the three
current Wireless Communication Facilities permit types (Minor — Type 1, Administrative — Type
2, Major or Height Waiver — Type 3) be replaced with the following permit types: Eligible
Facilities Modification, Substantial Change, and New Macro -Facility. These permit types would
adopt the existing 2022 fees set forth for wireless communications facilities.
Staff is recommending the following four tree and landscape permits be added to the fee
schedule: Shoreline Tree Permit, Critical Area Tree Permit, Residential Tree Permit, and
Landscape Modification to be consistent with the corresponding TMC provisions.
An increase to the Zoning Verification Letter fee for more than two contiguous parcels is also
being requested to cover the additional staff time required to complete such requests.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposal will predominately impact the categorization of permit decision types; fees, other
than an increase to the Zoning Verification Letter fee, will not deviate from those currently set
forth for 2022 as part of Resolution 2012.

RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the fee resolution and consider this item at the March 14,
2022 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent March 21, 2022 Regular Meeting on the
consent agenda.
