(b) Where a commercial or industrial project involves a combination of fees for new construction, addition, site plan review and/or occupancy permit, the Zoning Inspector, in his/her discretion and with the approval of the Village Administrator, may charge a single application fee, based upon the most applicable fee item.

If the Zoning Inspector approves the Zoning Exemption, the Zoning Inspector shall issue a Zoning Exemption Permit. If the Zoning Inspector does not approve an application for the Zoning Exemption, the Zoning Inspector shall forward the application to the Planning Commission, which may waive any or all requirements of Section 1140.04, if the Planning Commission determines based upon the review of the project, that imposition of specific fees would impose an unnecessary hardship upon the applicant.
