A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE
AMENDED USER FEE SCHEUDULE, INCLUDING
BUILDING AND SAFETY, PLANNING, LAND
DEVELOPMENT, FIRE PREVENTION, POLICE, AND
OTHER CITY SERVICES AND MAKING RELATED
DETERMINATIONS PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula("City Council")
hereby finds, determines and declares that:
A. The City Council has determined that it is necessary to assess fees for the process of private
development related requests, planning, engineering, public works, police, fire, building
and safety related requests, and other City services;
B. The City Council has conducted an extensive analysis of its services,the costs reasonably
borne by the City in providing those services, the beneficiaries of those services, and the
revenues produced by those paying fees and charges for special services;
C. The City Council has determined that City staff provides many types of services
("Services") involving requests by City customers ("Applicants");
D. The City currently imposes various user fees(the"User Fees")upon Applicants to recover
the costs of staff time and other expenses related to providing these Services;
E. Current User Fees charged for the City's Services do not adequately recoup the City's costs
of providing certain Services and thus, a certain amount of these costs are currently paid
out of the City's General Fund and, therefore, borne by the general public;
F. The City Council desires to better recover the costs of providing these Services from
Applicants who have sought the City's Services by revising its schedule of User Fees;
G. The proposed User Fees are based upon the information contained in "2023 Full Cost of
Services (User Fee) Study," dated as of September 27, 2023, prepared by Wohlford
Consulting ("User Fee Study") that comprehensively analyzed the full cost for each fee
service,the cost analysis incorporates the following"full cost"components: direct salaries
& benefits, services and supplies, indirect and support activities, supervision and support,
cross-department support; department/division administration; citywide administration;
facility use, capital (annualized),and anticipated growth;
H. Pursuant to Government Code Sections 66016, 66017 and 66018, the specific fees to be
charged for certain regulations, services and products must be adopted by resolution,
following notice and public hearing;
I. Notice of public hearing has been given pursuant to Government Code Section 6062a,
66016, 66017 and 66018 and written notice has been provided to those interested parties
who filed written requests for mailed notice of meetings on new or increased development-
related fees or service charges;
J. On February 27,2024,the City Council conducted a duly noticed Public Hearing,at which
time the public was invited to make oral and written presentations as part of the regularly
scheduled meeting prior to the adoption of Resolution 2024-16;
K. On May 13, 2025, the City Council conducted a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider
the Amendments to the User Fee Schedule, at which time the public was invited to make
oral and written presentations as part of the regularly scheduled meeting prior to the
adoption of the Resolution;
L. The proposed User Fees do not exceed the reasonable and actual cost to the City of
providing those services and the proceeds of those User Fees will not be used for any
purposes other than the reimbursement of those actual costs.
Section 2. Adoption of Fees and Charges. The City Council hereby adopts the"City
of Temecula Amendment to the 2024-25 User Fee Schedule" as set forth in attached Exhibit"A"
and incorporated by this reference. Unless otherwise stated in the User Fee Schedule, all User
Fees shall be paid to the City by the Applicant prior to the City's performance of the requested
Services.
Section 3. Annual Cost of Living Adjustment. The amount of the User Fees
set forth in the User Fee Schedule shall be adjusted annually, without Council action, on July 1st
of each year by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U): Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario (or any successor index). The calculation for that
annual adjustment shall be made using the month of April over the month of April in the prior
year. The User Fees shall not be decreased based on the changes in the Consumer Price Index.
Section 4. Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions. It is the desire of the City Council that
all fees and charges for services, programs or products be set forth in one document for ease of
reference. Accordingly, any and all provisions of prior Resolutions of the City Council
establishing or modifying fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit"A," are
hereby repealed and replaced as of the effective dates as set forth in Section 7 of this Resolution,
in the manner set forth in Exhibit "A;" provided, however, that such repeal shall not excuse or
affect the failure of any person or entity to pay any fee heretofore imposed upon such person or
entity. The City Council desires to clarify that in adopting this Resolution, it is taking action only
on those fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit A which have been
modified from prior resolutions of the City Council. To the extent any remaining fees that have
not been modified from prior resolutions shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby
restated for convenience so that all fees are set forth in one document.
2
Section 5. Policies and Procedures. Staff is hereby authorized and directed to
establish policies and procedures for implementation and collection of User Fees.
Section 6. CEQA. The approval of the User Fees established in this Resolution does
not constitute a"project" under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4)because such actions involve the creation of a government
funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may
result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Furthermore, the approval
of the User Fees established in this Resolution is statutorily exempt from CEQA under CEQA
guidelines Section 15273 (a)(1) because the approval of the User Fees is merely establishing fees
to meet operating expenses.
Section 7. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence,
clause or phrase of this Resolution or any part hereof is for any reason held to be invalid or
unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this
Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each
section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the
fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase
be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 8. Effective Date. The User Fees listed in the User Fee Schedule in Exhibit
A, which are imposed on a development project and which apply to the filing, accepting,
reviewing, approving or issuing of an application, permit, or entitlement to use shall be effective
no sooner than 60 days following the date this Resolution is adopted.
Section 9. Certification. The Mayor shall sign this Resolution and the City Clerk shall
attest and certify to the passage and adoption thereof.
PASSED,APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Temecula
this 13th day of May, 2025.
