(A) The City Council shall establish a schedule of fees, charges, and expenses and a collection procedure for zoning permits, conditional use permits, appeal application, and other matters pertaining to this chapter. This schedule of fees is as follows.
(1) Zoning permits.
Cost of Improvement | Fee |
$0 to $1,000 | $15 |
$1,001 and over | $1 for each $1,000 increment |
(2) Variance applications. Application fee: $200.
(3) Conditional use permit applications. Application fee: $75.
(4) Rezoning applications. Application fee: $75.
(5) Site plan reviews. $50.
(B) No application, permit, certificate, or variance shall be issued unless or until such costs, charges, fees, or expenses have been paid in full, nor shall any action be taken on proceedings before the Planning Commission unless or until preliminary charges and fees have been paid in full.
(C) If a dispute arises over a specific fee, the amount of the fee must be deposited and held in escrow, and the person aggrieved by the fee may appeal to district court. The process for reviewing the application, permit, certificate, or variance shall proceed as if the fee were paid. An approved application, permit, certificate, or variance shall be effective even though the fee is being held in escrow. After the district court’s determination of the appropriate fee, the fee shall be paid out of the amount held in escrow and the balance, if any, returned to the appellant.
