Reimbursement Of Development Review Costs. Prior to the review of any development application by the City (this includes, but is not limited to, the review of preliminary and final plats, site plans, Area Plans, construction plans, landscape plans, erosion control plans, subdivision improvement agreements, development agreements and maintenance agreements), the applicant shall deposit with the City Treasurer the pre-established fee outlined on the City fee schedule kept at City Hall. The deposit will pay for development review fees incurred by the City, which include City Planner, City Engineer and City Attorney fees; any other required consultant fees or reviews required by the City; the cost to reproduce materials; legal publication expenses; public hearing expenses; and the cost to record documents. The City will draw on this deposit at the current rates billed by the consultants. Information regarding anticipated consultant fees can be obtained at City Hall or on the City's website (www.weldonspring.org).

The City will maintain a separate account of all fees and expenses incurred by the City as a result of development review. Regular statements of expenses incurred will be made available to the applicant by the City. As the City receives billings from the consultants, it will withdraw funds from the initial deposit until those funds are depleted. After that point, a project summary indicating the development review cost overage incurred by the City will be invoiced to the developer. Photocopies of consultant invoices will be available at City Hall upon request. In the event the applicant fails to pay the invoice within thirty (30) days of delivery, the City shall be entitled to:

Development Review Fee Deposit. Once the City is in receipt of the completed application and any pertinent plans, the applicant shall pay the City the pre-established fee deposit (the City Fee Schedule can be obtained at City Hall or on the City's website (www.weldonspring.org)). Once all applicable fees have been paid to the City, copies of the application will be distributed to the City consultants and appropriate staff for review. Review will progress until the fee deposit(s) for the project are depleted, at which time the applicant will be invoiced for any development review cost overages.

If the applicant fails to pay the invoice within ninety (90) days' of written notice, the City shall be entitled to certification of the assessment for a sale or lien for those costs on the land being developed.

In order to classify, regulate and restrict the use of land, buildings and structures; to regulate and restrict the height and bulk of buildings; to regulate the area of yards and other open spaces about buildings; and to regulate the intensity of land use, the incorporated area of Weldon Spring is divided into districts as follows:

This map is hereby adopted and made a part of this Chapter as if the matters and information set forth by said map were fully described herein.

Measurement Of Boundaries. The boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning District Map shall be determined by the boundaries as shown and outlined thereon and when not clearly determined, by use of the scale shown on said maps unless actual dimensions are noted. Scale and field measurements and map dimensions shall be figured from the centerline of streets, highways or road rights-of-way as appropriate. Where uncertainty exists as to the exact location of said boundaries, the following rules shall apply:

Zoning Of Annexed Areas. Any territory hereafter annexed to the City shall be zoned based on the existing County Zoning and assigned to the closest City zoning district until duly changed by an amendment to this Chapter.
