SEC. 16-534. MANNER OF INITIATING PROCEEDINGS TO OBTAIN PERMIT; REAPPLICATION.
   (A)   Application for a special use permit, variance, or planned development permit may be initiated by:
      (1)   A resolution of intention by the commission or city council;
      (2)   An owner of the affected property or the owner’s designated attorney in fact;
      (3)   A lessee who holds a lease, the terms of which permit the use applied for, or the lessee’s designated attorney in fact; and
      (4)   A plaintiff in an action in eminent domain to acquire the property as to which the special use permit, variance or planned development permit is sought.
   (B)   If an application for a special use permit, variance or planned development permit has been denied, a new application for the same entitlement relating to the same property shall not be accepted within 12 months of the denial. This provision may be waived by a majority of the city council on finding that, by reason of changed physical, legal or sociological circumstances, consideration of a new application for same entitlement would be in the public interest.

   (C)   When an application for any project, including but not limited to a special use permit, a planned development permit, a variance, a map, a zone boundary change or a change of classification or zone uses, requires special evaluation by a consultant or legal counsel or an unusual amount of special study and evaluation by city staff beyond routine analysis, the applicant shall reimburse the city for the cost of such work. The director shall give the applicant a written estimate of such cost, and the applicant shall deposit the amount of such estimate with the director, before any such work is done. If, after work is begun, the director estimates that more costs will be incurred than originally estimated, the director shall give the applicant a revised written estimate and the applicant shall deposit the amount of the revised estimate with the director, deducting deposits previously made. If the final actual cost of the work exceeds the amount so deposited, the applicant shall deposit the remaining costs before the city takes action on the application. If the actual final cost of the work is less than the amount so deposited, the director shall refund the excess deposit after the city takes action on the application or the application is withdrawn.
