The following shall be the fee schedule for zoning permits:
(a) When any structure is erected, relocated or altered prior to obtaining a zoning permit (and/or displayed, in the case of a sign), the required fees shall be doubled, but the payment of a double fee shall not relieve any person from complying with the provisions of this Zoning Code or from other penalties prescribed by law.
(b) A fee of one dollar ($1.00) per one thousand dollars ($1,000), or part thereof, of expenditures set forth in an application for a zoning permit, as required by Section 1262.03, shall be charged to said applicant, provided that said fee shall not be less than thirty dollars ($30.00).
(c) The fee for a certificate of occupancy shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00).

(e) The fee for a conditional use permit shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00), plus any expenses for legal, engineering and/or land use planning services.
(f) A zoning permit is not required for remodeling, repairing or altering the interior of a residence building as long as the use and/or external dimensions of the building are not changed.
(g) A "no fee" permit shall be issued to reconstruct any building damaged by fire, explosion, an act of God or an act of vandalism, provided that such reconstruction is only to the same size and extent that previously existed.
(h) No zoning permit issued hereunder shall be deemed to constitute permission or authorization to maintain an unlawful use and/or structure, nor shall any permit issued hereunder constitute a defense in an action to abate an unlawful use and/or structure.
(i) All fees shall be paid in cash or by a check made payable to the City.
