§ 154.162 FEES.
   (A)   Purpose. It is the intent of this section to require petitioners to pay a portion of the public services that are necessary for processing their request. While the city is not expecting 100% recovery of all costs, it does feel that all required publication and mailing costs, plus a portion of administrative costs, should be borne by the petitioner.
   (B)   Application fees.
      (1)   Fees, for matters pertinent to the administration of this chapter, will be set from time to time by resolution of the City Council of the city; see the Adopted Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
      (2)   For purposes of this chapter, the first site plan filed for a site developed prior to the effective date of this chapter or for a site developed prior to annexation shall be considered an amendment to a previously approved site plan.
      (3)   No filing fee shall be required for any application filed by any agency or department of the city of any government organized under the laws of the State of Arizona or of the United States. This exception shall not apply to non-governmental leases of government land.
      (4)   The City Council may waive fees to avoid duplication of charges or undue hardship.
