(a)

The Planning Commission shall hold no public hearings on any proposal or application on any matter coming within its jurisdiction by any person, firm or corporation except the City Council, or any officer, board or commission of the municipality, unless such person, firm or corporation shall first make a request in writing for such public hearing, accompanied by payment to the Building Department of a fee of $50.00.

(b)

A preliminary plan review fee shall be charged for any public hearing held by the Planning Commission in conjunction with any required action by the Commission unless the hearing is held for the City Council, or any officer, board or commission of the municipality. The fee shall be $100.00 or 20 percent of that which would be required in the schedule of fees for plan approvals, whichever is greater. If a plan review fee is paid according to the schedule of fees for a development in conjunction with the public hearing, this shall satisfy the public hearing review fee requirement. The public hearing review fee shall be applicable toward the cost of the development plan review fee provided that the development was not substantially changed. The commission shall determine the extent of any change and the amount of the public hearing review fee applicable to the development plan review fee.
