Planning commission postpones fee increase actions
The Scottsdale Planning Commission halted action on proposed rezoning and development fee increases, noting some hikes could reach 750 percent. Staff say the fees would fund 30 percent of the Planning Implementation budget, while the commission studies the details and a study session with staff is planned. The panel also debated a zoning ordinance amendment tied to reporting timelines and denial triggers, delaying a council decision until clarifications are added.
