Each owner of the lot or lots proposed to be included within a PCD zone shall, simultaneously with his or her application for a PCD zone change, file in the city’s Development Services Division (in this chapter referred to as the "Division") a written document signed by him or her, consenting to the Division and Commission conducting detailed planning, engineering and environmental studies, which said Division and Commission find necessary for proper performance of their duties in reviewing and processing such application. The said owners shall advance to the city costs in an amount agreed upon by the owners and the Commission for studies by the city which the Commission deems necessary to enable the Commission to make a proper determination on a general development plan submitted to it by the owners. If owners do not advance the costs, the Commission may refuse to take action on the plans on the grounds that it had insufficient information and data to make the determination.
