(A) Any person subject to the fees imposed by this chapter may apply in writing to the Development Review Committee for a reduction or adjustment to that fee, or a waiver of that fee, upon a showing that (1) the city has incorrectly calculated the fee owing, or (2) the law otherwise requires the relief sought. The application shall be made in writing and filed with the City Clerk not later than: (1) ten days prior to the public hearing on the development permit application for the project, or (2) if no development permit is required, ten days after the city informs the applicant of the amount of the fee applicable to the project. The application shall state in detail the factual basis for the claim of waiver, reduction or adjustment.
(B) The Development Review Committee shall consider the application at the public hearing on the permit application or at a separate hearing held within 30 days after the filing of the fee adjustment application, whichever is earlier. The decision of the Development Review Committee may be appealed to the City Council in the manner provided in §§ 2.56.050 and 17.52.310 of this code. The decision of the City Council shall be final. If a reduction, adjustment or waiver is granted, any change in use within the project shall invalidate the waiver, adjustment or reduction of the fee.
