Chesterfield Considering Planning Fee Increases

The gap between the cost of development review and the revenue the County receives to undertake these reviews have grown considerably in the past six years. As part of the County’s FY 02-03 budget review process the Planning Department was asked to prepare a fee adjustment proposal that would produce revenue in FY 04-05 based upon the cost of undertaking development related reviews (rezoning, site plan, subdivision, variances, etc.)

The Planning Commission will review and discuss the proposed fee adjustments at their February 19th regular meeting. The Planning staff is recommending that a public hearing regarding proposed fee adjustments be set for the Planning Commission’s regular March 19 meeting.

An informational meeting on this fee proposal will be held at the March 5th Quarterly Development Meeting at the Central Library beginning at 9:30 a.m.

If you would like to be notified of the Quarterly Development Meetings on a regular basis please contact Kirk Turner, Development Director, Chesterfield County at turnerk@chesterfield.gov
