Any application for rezoning of property, for a variance, or for use permit, shall be signed by the owner of the property, unless such action is initiated by the city or any agency thereof. When any such application relates to land in multiple or joint ownership, all of such owners shall join in the application. Applications by partnerships may be signed by any authorized partner. In any instance where an application is made by anyone other than the owner, and the city is not so advised, any action taken, use permit granted or variance granted may be forthwith terminated and set aside, without notice or hearing. In addition to the foregoing, it shall be a misdemeanor, punishable as such, for any person to sign such an application, representing himself to be the owner of the affected property. "Owner" is defined as the person or persons having the fee title or the unqualified right to occupy the property for a term of not less than ten years. Persons holding options to purchase are not deemed to be owners.
