(A) Before accepting an application and set of grading and/or landscape-irrigation plans and specifications for checking, the Director of Public Works shall collect a plan checking fee. Separate permits and fees shall apply to retaining walls or major drainage structures, as indicated elsewhere in the city ordinance. There shall be no separate charge for standard terrace drains and similar facilities. The amount of plan checking fee for grading and landscape-irrigation plans shall be as set forth by City Council resolution.
(B) The plan checking fee for a grading permit authorizing additional work to that under a valid permit shall be the difference between the plan checking fee paid for the original permit and the fee required for the entire project.
