C'4<IFOTL % CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 6, 2007 NEW BUSINESS
SUBJECT: REQUEST FROM "THE WELL IN THE DESERT' TO WAIVE FEES FOR
NEW CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Planning Department
SUMMARY
The Well in the Desert has identified a new location for its food distribution service —
188 W. San Rafael Road — and must obtain a Conditional Use Permit prior to initiating
the use. The application fees for a Type II CUP total $5,932. The Well in the Desert,
has requested that the City Council waive these fees. The Council may waive any fee
at its discretion and no public hearing is required.
RECOMMENDATION
Consistent with past practice, staff does not recommend a waiver or a transfer of the
Conditional Use Permit Fee.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Attached to this report is a letter from Vic Gainer requesting either a transfer of the
existing Conditional Use Permit fee or a waiver of the application fee for a new CUP.
The letter notes that The Well in the Desert intends to establish its food give-away
program at the new location and close the facility at 181 N. Indian Canyon Drive.
There is no adopted policy on fee transfers or waivers — staff believes that the request
should be treated as a request to waive the fee for the new application. The Council
may exercise its discretion in the matter, including a full or partial waiver of fees. The
request is for a waiver of the entire fee of $5,932. The Well in the Desert is a non-profit
provider of community services and any waiver or other financial contribution by the City
would not be deemed a gift of public funds.
