(a) At the time that an application for a change of zoning districts is filed with the Board of Zoning Appeals, as provided in this chapter, there shall be deposited with the Fiscal Office the sum of thirty dollars ($30.00) as a fee to cover investigation, legal notices and other expenses incidental to the determination of such matter, such fee to be for one lot or part of one lot. An additional fee of five dollars ($5.00) shall be deposited for each additional lot or part of an additional lot which may be included in the request, such additional lot or part of a lot to be adjacent to the lot for which the change is requested or an adjacent lot. Such sums so deposited shall be credited by the Fiscal Officer to the General Fund.
(b) In the event that the Board of Zoning Appeals disapproves the application, and the petitioner elects not to have the same certified to Council, then a refund of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), plus an additional refund of three dollars ($3.00) for each additional lot or part of an additional lot which was included in the application, shall be made to the petitioner by the Fiscal Officer, provided that the Fiscal Officer is notified of such decision by the petitioner within thirty days from the time of the action taken by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
