A. Base Fees: The base fees to be paid for each application shall be established by ordinance. Base fees shall be payable at the time applications are filed with the city clerk and shall not be refundable unless said application is withdrawn prior to referral to the planning commission. In addition to any other remedies available to the city, a double fee or two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00), whichever is greater, shall be charged if action requiring any permit required by this title is undertaken without first obtaining a permit for such action. (Ord. 473, 3-17-2015)
B. Escrow Deposits: Escrow deposits, in amounts established by ordinance, will be required to be submitted with planning applications to defray anticipated city expenses incurred in connection with the application. Any expenses incurred by the city in excess of the escrow shall be billed to the applicant after all city costs have been determined. Failure of the applicant to reimburse billed expenses within thirty (30) days may be cause for revocation of approval action taken by the city council. Any unused escrow deposit amount shall be returned to the applicant. (Ord. 429, 8-3-2010)
