APPLICATIONS FOR SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS
WHEREAS, on December 20, 1994, the City Council adopted Ordinance
No. 1950 amending certain sections of the West Covina Municipal Code, Chapter
26 (Zoning) related to promotional events and signage (Amendment No. 259);
and
WHEREAS, said Ordinance established a new type of permit referred to as
a "special event permit', for the purposes of allowing minor promotional events
and associated signage for commercial businesses, allowing the display of
banners for commercial businesses, and allowing the display of promotional signs
and banners for multiple -family residential complexes; and
WHEREAS, the creation of the special event permit now necessitates the
establishment of an associated fee to recover the cost of reviewing and
processing applications for special events permits; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 66018, the City may
adopt a new, fee of this nature only upon the holding of a public hearing as part of
a regularly scheduled meeting, at which oral and written presentation can be
made; and
WHEREAS, notice of the public hearing and the provision of data available
to the public has been made pursuant to the requirements of Government Code
Sections 66016 and 6062(a), and the required public hearing was held, at which
time an opportunity for oral and written presentations was made; and
WHEREAS, the fees and charges adopted are for operating expenses and
not capital charges; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 66016(a), a new fee
established by the City may not exceed the estimated amount required to provide
the service for which the fee is established; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of a new fee for operating expenses is statutorily
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act
(Section 15273, CEQA Guidelines).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina does
resolve, determine, and order as follows:
Section 1. Fee. The fee for Special Events Permit is hereby
established as $20 per application.
Section 2, Reasonable Cost Findina. The above fee is based upon an
• estimation of the cumulative staff time to be expended in the act of reviewing and
processing applications for Special Use Permits and the estimated cost of
supplying such staff services. The City Council therefore finds that the adopted
fee does not exceed the reasonable cost of the service provided.
