For the purpose of defraying the expense involved in connection with an application or petition, the council shall establish by resolution a schedule of fees. The schedule of fees shall be available in the planning department and on file in the office of the city manager.

(Ord. 496 § 1, 1983: Ord. 336 § 2.04.000, 1977).

No action shall be taken on any application or petition and no filing shall be viewed as complete until all applicable fees have been paid in full. No fee will be required or charged to persons whose property is included in resolutions of intention adopted by the planning commission or the council initiating proceedings to change a zone classification.

(Ord. 336 § 2.04.010, 1977).

Concurrent with the withdrawal of an application, an applicant may request, in writing, a refund of the application fee. Upon receipt of a written request for a fee refund, the city manager, or designee, shall determine how much time and other related costs have been incurred in processing the application and may authorize a refund of that amount of the fee, if any, that is not needed to cover these costs. In no event shall the city manager, or designee, approve a refund in an amount in excess of eighty-five percent of the fee paid.

(Ord. 548 § 1, 1986: Ord. 336 § 2.04.020, 1977).
