The Gulf Shores City Council is considering lowering fees for developers, according to a recent report in the Press Register.  Since July 2006, when a ‘boom-era’ of development was underway in the Gulf Coast of Alabama, an increased fee schedule was set up that charged developers, and others seeking to build structures and subdivide parcels; however, present circumstances make it more ‘reasonable’ to lower these fees and encourage new construction.  Part of the proposed changes to the fee schedule include eliminating fees that are rarely charged, having a flat fee for planned unit development reviews, halving the fees charged to applicants for a planned unit development zoning, and adding two new fees for tree removal and signage permits.  If these changes are approved, Gulf Shores AL will bring their fee schedule closer in line with neighboring communities.
