Counter/Building Permit Review/Business License Review:
Table 12 indicates
there were 273 business licenses in FY14/15 with a five-year average of 266. There
were 684 building permits for FY14/15 with a five-year average of
511.Ascan be
seen in Table 19 above, there are 2.6 staff available for this function. Using the higher
number results in 957 cases or 368 cases per planner per year. This results in 7.97
cases per week or 1.4 cases per day per planner which appears to be a workable
number.
Table 20 below shows another way to look at the staff planner FTE resources, the
number of applications submitted and number of applications per staff planner for the
five-year period shown. Because the Table does not include Assistant CM, CDD
resources, the number of applications per planner shown is higher than if these
resources were included.
Table 20
FY 15/16 Current Planning Case Processing Resources
Applications Processed Per Planner Resource
As the above table shows, the number of applications per Planner was the highest in
FY 11/12, since there were less planner resources that year. The number of
applications per planner for the other years shown is below the average national
average for every fiscal year, except FY 13/14.
Although we received considerable negative feedback about lengthy processing
timeframes, it appears that some of the processing challenges are likely related to the
