For the purpose of partially defraying the expense involved in connection with any application or petition required by this title, filing fees and deposits shall accompany the application or petition as established by resolution of the city council. (Ord. 806 § 1, 2007).

9.68.020 Procedure for withdrawal of an application or petition for a variance, conditional use permit or zone change.

Any application or petition for a variance, conditional use permit or zone change may be withdrawn at any time prior to a public hearing by filing with the planning commission a written request for withdrawal signed by all persons who signed the original application or petition, or their successors in interest. (Ord. 806 § 1, 2007).

9.68.030 Deficiencies and refunds.

A. If any application or petition is withdrawn as provided in BGMC 9.68.020, Procedure for withdrawal of an application or petition for a variance, conditional use permit or zone change, prior to publication of notice of hearing, or prior to action by the planning commission, the city shall refund the filing fee and all deposits, if any.

B. In any case where a deposit is required, if the actual cost of publication and/or posting of notice is more than the amount deposited by the applicant, such applicant shall pay the deficiency; if less, the balance of said deposit shall be refunded to the applicant.

C. In all other cases, there shall be no refund after the notice of hearing has been published. (Ord. 806 § 1, 2007).

9.68.040 Concurrent filing and processing of cases.

Where a conditional use permit, variance, and zone change are filed simultaneously covering the same lot or parcel of land, the planning commission may waive the lesser of the two fees required, provided, in their opinion, said applications may be processed concurrently without a substantially greater expenditure in preparation than would occur should a single application be so processed. (Ord. 806 § 1, 2007).
