RESOLUTION NO. 5881
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHING FEES FOR SPECIFIC
PLANS AND SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENTS PER SECTION
9296.4.1 OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AND DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the fee established is necessary for the purpose of defraying
the City of expenditures and costs for the purposes set forth in this resolution, and
that said fee does not exceed the estimated reasonable costs for providing the service.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Arcadia Municipal Code Section 9296.4.1, a person
who requests adoption, amendment or repeal of a specific plan shall deposit with the
Community Development Division an amount equal to the estimated cost of
preparing the plan, amendment or repeal prior to its preparation by the Community
Development Division. The Community Development Division shall specific the
deposit required within ten (10) working days of the date a person's application for the
adoption, amendment or repeal of a specific plan is deemed complete.
SECTION 3. The City Council further directs that any specific plan presented
for adoption may include a further fee for persons seeking subsequent City approvals
which are required to be consistent with said specific plan. In such cases, the fees shall
be established so that, in the aggregate, they defray, but as estimated do not exceed, the
otherwise unreimbursed cost to the City of preparation, adoption and administration
of said specific plan, including costs incurred pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq. As nearly as
can be estimated the fee charged shall be a prorated amount in accordance with the
applicant's relative benefit derived from said specific plan. It is the intent of the City
Council in providing for such fees to charge persons who benefit from specific plans
for the costs of developing those specific plans which result in savings to them by
reducing the cost of documenting environmental consequences and advocating
changed land uses which may be authorized pursuant to the specific plan.

making the request. The City Clerk shall charge a fee for a copy of a specific plan or an
amendment to a specific plan in an amount that is reasonably related to the cost of
providing that document.
SECTION 5. The adoption of this resolution shall not in any manner be
construed as affecting any such fee, nor effect the validity of any bond or cash deposit
in lieu thereof, posted, filed or deposited therefore and all rights and obligations
thereunder appertaining shall continue in full force and effect.

resolution will not produce an amount in excess of that estimated to fund the

foregoing, the City Council hereby finds this resolution is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act as specified in Title 14
