Sec. A33-29.2. Fees.

The environmental assessment fee and mitigation monitoring fee shall be assessed for private projects as described in this section. The amounts of these fees shall be prescribed by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. These fees shall be paid to the Planning Office. The environmental assessment fee is nonrefundable and shall be paid when the determination is made regarding what type of environmental assessment is required. There shall be two types of mitigation monitoring fees: (a) a nonrefundable flat fee for projects for which monitoring and oversight activities are expected to be limited in scope and duration and do not require special expertise; and (b) a project-specific fee for projects for which monitoring and oversight activities are expected to exceed the flat fee because the activities would either be extensive in scope or duration or require special expertise. The amounts of the flat fee and the initial deposit required for the project-specific fee shall be as prescribed by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. The Planning Director shall determine which fee applies to a project prior to project approval. The amount of the flat fee or deposit for the project-specific fee, whichever applies to the project, shall be paid within 14 days of project approval. If the deposit for the project-specific fee differs from the actual cost incurred, either a refund shall be given or an additional payment shall be required to balance the cost incurred and the payment for the services. If this additional payment is not received by the County within a reasonable period of time, the County may take any action authorized by law to collect the actual cost incurred and may also pursue the remedies listed in Section A33-29.3 below. The project-specific fee may include fees established by the Department of Environmental Health to recover for the costs of their monitoring responsibilities.

(Ord. No. NS-300.705, § 2, 1-14-03)
