$400
Category II means a renovation that changes an existing feature, such as a door, window, roof materials, or decorative item. Note that repair or replacement of an existing feature with the same or substantially the same feature does not constitute a renovation. For example, this Category II minor renovation does not include repainting a feature of a conforming structure with the same color.
Plant materia l change
No charge for plant material change. However, landscape change plans including hardscape material such as gravel, exterior lighting, pavers, decking, and the like must fill out a minor change application and include a $300 non-refundable review fee.
 
   (b)   CRB approval is required for all of the above situations, even if a fee is not required. For new construction and major renovations, the review fee is due at or before the preliminary submittal. A submittal will not be placed on the meeting agenda for preliminary review if the fee is not timely received.
   (c)   The fees for new construction and major renovations cover a preliminary and final review of the project. If another formal review is needed, an additional review fee must be paid. This requirement is intended to encourage the investment of appropriate preparation in the original submittal and to simplify and expedite the approval process.
   (d)   For a submittal to be treated as a re-submittal, there can be no changes to the building or project other than those required by changes, if any, in the standards. All re-submittals will be subject to the standards in effect as of the re-submittal date. Any changes other than those necessary to meet current design standard requirements will be considered new construction, subject to a new construction fee.
