Whenever any work for which a city permit is required has commenced without first obtaining a permit, a special investigation shall be made before
a permit will be issued. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is subsequently issued. The
investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee required by this schedule. The payment of the investigation fee shall not exempt
any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code nor from any prescribed by law.
No application shall be considered complete until the fees have been paid. Application fees are not refundable. In addition to the application fee,
applicants shall be required to reimburse the city for all out-of-pocket costs that are incurred for processing, reviewing and hearing the application.
These costs shall include, but are not limited to: parcel searches; publication and mailing of notices; review by the city’s engineering, planning and
other consultants; legal costs, and recording fees. A minimum escrow deposit to cover these costs shall be collected by the city at the time of
application. The Zoning Administrator shall have discretion to increase the amount of the escrow for any application at any time if the city’s costs
are reasonably expected to exceed the minimum amount. The Zoning Administrator shall also have discretion to require an escrow deposit even
where no minimum amount is specified by this ordinance, if authorized by the Development Code. Applications for projects requiring more than
one type of review (for example, a Conditional Use Permit and a Preliminary Plat) shall include the cumulative total of all application fees specified
for each type of review. The minimum escrow deposit shall be the cumulative total for each type of application required for the project, unless the
Zoning Administrator determines that this amount would significantly exceed the city’s reasonable expenses to review the applications, in which
case the amount of the escrow deposit may be reduced. After review of the application has been completed and all costs have been paid, any costs
exceeding the escrow balance shall be invoiced to the applicant. Any escrow balance remaining shall be refunded to the applicant. No interest shall
be paid on escrow deposits. Amendments to previously approved applications shall require the payment of the same fees as for the initial permit
application, except for Plan Modifications not requiring review by the Planning Commission and City Council or as otherwise provided by the
Development Code.
