A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A
REVISED MASTER FEE SCHEDULE OF VARIOUS
USER AND REGULATORY FEES
WHEREAS, this action is exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), Article 18, Statutory Exemptions, Section 15273(a)
Rates Tolls Fares and Charges; and
WHEREAS, this hearing to set fees was duly noticed pursuant to
Government Code Sections 6062(a) – Manner of Publication, and 66016,
Local agency fees; new fees and increases; procedures; and
WHEREAS, on July 16, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
2019-030 updating the City’s Master Fee Schedule of various user and
regulatory fees; and
WHEREAS, due to COVID-19 adverse economic impacts on the
community the City Council finds it pertinent not to implement annual fees
increase based on the all-urban Consumers Price Index (CPI) for Riverside-
San Bernardino-Ontario; and
WHEREAS, the City would like to incorporate building valuation
multiplier tables used by City staff to aid in fee calculations; these tables are
not new and do not propose any changes, and are merely incorporated into
the fee schedule for reference purposes; and
WHEREAS, the fee update includes removal of fee categories that are
not actively used because the service is included as part of other fee
categories, and recalibration of fees to reflect current estimated service time
resulting in a minor fee reduction; and
WHEREAS, the City would like to establish set fees for preliminary
review applications associated with housing projects in accordance with
Senate Bill (SB) 330 signed into law by the Governor of California on
October 9, 2019; and

amounts that do not exceed the estimated cost to provide the service.

of La Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby adopts each recital set forth above

enhance fee schedule clarity or improve the correlation between the cost of
providing services and the fees imposed to recover those costs.
SECTION 4. Annually on July 1 the City Manager or his/her designee
shall update and promulgate a new fee schedule whereby all fees are
increased based on the all-urban consumers CPI for Riverside-San
Bernardino-Ontario computed from March of the previous year to March of
the current year. If the CPI does not change or goes down in a given year,
no change shall be made to the Master Fee Schedule that year.
SECTION 5. This Resolution shall become effective on July 21, 2020.
