A. Filing Fees Required. The Council shall, by resolution, adopt a schedule of fees for permits, entitlements, amendments, and other matters pertaining to this Title (hereafter referred to as the "City Council Fee Resolution"). The City Council Fee Resolution may be obtained from the Division, and may be changed or modified only by resolution of the Council. The City's processing fees are cumulative. For example, if an application for a Site Plan Review also requires a Variance, both fees will be charged. Also, specified projects may be subject to a deposit and an hourly rate, rather than a flat application fee(s), in compliance with the City Council Fee Resolution. Processing shall not commence on an application until all required fees/deposits have been paid. Without the application fee, or a deposit if applicable, the application will not be deemed complete.
B. Refunds and Withdrawals.
1. Recognizing that filing fees are utilized to cover City costs of public hearings, mailing, posting, transcripts, and staff time involved in processing applications, no refunds shall be issued due to a disapproval of an application.
2. In the case of an application withdrawal, the Director may authorize a partial refund, based upon the costs incurred to-date and determination of the status of the application at the time of withdrawal.
