William did not recognize economies of scale associated with exceptionally large rezoning applications and asked that the $6,540 base fee and $205 per acre costs be reduced.
The board also voted to allow Disney to pay the costs in three -installments. One third would be paid up front, another third upon completion of the staff report and recommendation and the last paid prior to the opening of the final public hearing before the Board of Supervisors.
The phased payment, according to the proposal, would more closely track the actual review costs as they accrue through time rather than the current “payment-in-full” approach that is currently used for large-scale zoning projects.
According to Sherman Patrick, chief of current planning for Prince William, the county did a comparative analysis of zoning fees from surrounding jurisdictions and found that Prince William’s were “substantially higher.”
According to Patrick’s figures, Stafford County’s fees for a 3,000acre mixed use development would be $105,000; Fairfax’s, $213,300; Loudoun’s, $239,730 and Fauquier’s, $241,000.
The last-named fee is for planned village/planned community overlay
