Body
OVERVIEW
On May 03, 2023 (09), the Board of Supervisors took action to further consider and adopt the
Ordinance on May 24, 2023.
This is a request for the Board of Supervisors (Board) to adopt the land development cost recovery proposal, which includes hourly rates, fees, and deposits for the processing of discretionary land development and building permit applications by Planning and Development Services (PDS), Department of Public Works (DPW), and Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) (collectively "the Departments").
Using cost recovery funding, the Departments provide services that range in diversity and complexity and serve a wide variety of customers. Services include environmental and project review, health and safety inspections of homes, and inspections of public infrastructure, such as roads, parks, and trails. The review of privately initiated land development and building permit applications ensures the safe design and construction of structures and infrastructure to protect the public. The Departments work in communities in the unincorporated region, conducting more than 60,000 inspections and processing more than 19,000 land development permits annually. This includes the issuance of over 7,000 residential solar photovoltaic permits reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Through these services, the County of San Diego (County) balances environmental, community, and economic interests to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors in the unincorporated area of the region.
