(A) A preliminary proposal, referred to in section 16-429, and an application for a condominium density bonus permit, referred to in section 16-430, shall be accompanied by the fee set by resolution of the city council. City staff shall not act on a preliminary proposal or an application that is not accompanied by the fee.
(B) If a preliminary proposal or an application for a condominium density bonus permit requires an unusual amount or specialized type of study or evaluation by city staff, a consultant or legal counsel, city staff shall estimate the cost thereof and require the applicant to pay an additional fee or make one or more deposits to pay such cost before the study or evaluation is begun. On completion of the study or evaluation, and before city staff responds to the preliminary proposal or the city council decides the application, city staff shall determine the actual cost of the work and the difference between the actual cost and the amount paid by the applicant, and shall require the applicant to pay any deficiency or shall refund to the applicant any excess.
