An application for a land use action may be withdrawn at any time before a public hearing by filing with the director a written request for withdrawal. The request for withdrawal shall be signed by all persons who signed the original application, or their designated agent(s) or successor(s). An application may be withdrawn after commencement of the hearing, with the approval of the review authority. At the time of the withdrawal of the application, consideration may be given for refunding of application fees in whole or in part, based upon the time expended by city staff up to the time of withdrawal of the application, in compliance with established council policy.
