“And then I think because I had the same question that I sent on the multiple reviews and if it's something on our end, so maybe you can speak to whether someone gets charged if it's a mistake that we missed or something on a third submittal.”

“So if an applicant says, well, hold on, why am I getting charged for that? Because it was on your end, then that gives discretion to the planning director to determine that. Correct. Yep.”

“All right. I think at this point most of my questions have been answered. So thanks to everyone else for asking the questions. I think I still had a couple that I had sent to you guys ahead of time. Along the lines of the monitoring, one thing I would love to see is after this first year if staff could come back and just give us an update on the permit volumes, the turnaround times. maybe any progress that you have made toward streamlining things if by a year from now there are some ai implementations that we've put in place just kind of updating us on those things i would love to see that…”

“Got it. Okay. Thanks. And then on the pre-development fee and I just wanted to check on the credit option to get it back. Do they is the option that they would receive back that whole fee as a credit toward whatever their application fee is?”

“Got it. Thank you. I really appreciate that change, especially knowing some folks who have wanted to do something on their properties and some type of events and have been discouraged from coming to the county because of the cost of that pre-development meeting and just decided they'd ask for forgiveness later.”

“So appreciate that. And then to Supervisor Gustafson's comments on the general plan maintenance fee, I'm I definitely would like to have that discussion with the board after we have public comment and just to kind of determine how we do want to move forward with that, just as we have the conversations around the burdens on affordable housing and what that is going to mean for them. So, Supervisor DeMattei.”

“we should if we're expecting them to pay i would expect us to give them some kind of credit for not showing up that's a good idea appreciate that thank you thank you for that uh just one sorry one more question before we go to public comment on that general plan maintenance fee um so on a typical let's just say there's like a large subdivision development they would have to pay 50 cents per thousand dollars evaluation per house right right now at the proposed as proposed for the building up to up to that 20 000 cap right okay and um So for like a $400,000 house, is that the 20,000? There…”

“And do you, to that point, do you have an estimate of how much, just on an average development year, how much would you anticipate would come in because of that fee?”

“just a reach for me and and that's just my view and if we can help save some money to new development and encourage people to do these projects to me we should yeah i think it's fair maybe this is one that we could kick to when we do a one-year update and if this were to come back at that time and we evaluated maybe at that time there are things that have happened that are streamlining that are saving us money somewhere that maybe we can reevaluate at that time. But I agree. I mean, it's a small amount. $250 for a $500,000 home is not very much. It's a lot better than $20,000 for a $400,000…”
