(A) The filing fees and deposits for land use actions under Chapter 152 of this title and property line adjustments shall be as set forth below until such time as further amended by Council resolution.
(B) Upon the filing of an application for a land use action under Chapter 152 of this title or property line adjustments, an applicant or appellant shall pay the sum total of the pre-hearing filing fee, the hearing/post-hearing filing fee, and deposit per the schedule set forth below.
(C) The filing fees are non-refundable, except under the following circumstance: upon withdrawal of an application (by written notice of withdrawal or by failure to respond to written request from city to provide additional information to complete application or, in the case of appeal, the action being appealed is withdrawn) prior to the date of the public meeting or public hearing, the hearing/post-hearing filing fee may be refunded to applicant or appellant.
(D) The deposit amount shall be the initial deposit by the applicant for the purpose of reimbursing the city for costs incurred by the city in processing and preparing the action. While the application is pending, if it appears to the City Recorder that the deposit is insufficient to pay for all of the city’s costs in processing the application or appeal, the City Recorder shall demand such additional amount of deposit as in the City Recorder’s opinion is necessary to assure additional funds available to pay anticipated additional costs. The applicant may appeal the City Recorder’s decision to the City Council. Until such time as any additional deposit is paid, following demand by the City Recorder, the City Recorder shall notify the body hearing the land use action that the action shall be suspended until such time as the additional deposit is paid to the city.
(E) The City Recorder shall establish an appropriate account for the purpose of holding the deposit of land use action or property line adjustment applicants or appellants until such time as the actual costs to the city have been ascertained, either upon conclusion of the action or from time to time, and upon such determination of the actual costs, the City Recorder shall transfer such portion of the deposit from the account to reimburse the city for its costs and expenses. Upon conclusion of the action, and determination of all actual costs, any remaining deposit shall be reimbursed to the applicant or appellant.
