The council may commence proceedings to approve an ordinance of consideration if receiving the following:
(1) A petition signed by the owners of at least 25 percent of the land within the district requesting a change permitted under § 27-4.1 or the levy of a new special tax; and
(2) A fee which the council determines is necessary to compensate the city for the costs of proceedings to review the requested change or new levy.
The fee shall be nonrefundable, even if the council does not make the change or levy.
