“Exempted nonresidential development” is hereby defined as real estate improvements including churches, schools, commercial, manufacturing, wholesale, retail and storage facilities which generate sales tax and or commercial property tax, or provide other important cultural, educational or social benefits to the population of the city based on findings of fact approved by the city council on a case-by-case basis after application by the property owner. [Ord. O-17-2001 § 1].
15.90.020 Property owners in default to city.
The city council may upon application of the property owner of a proposed exempted nonresidential development, by resolution, permit the processing and approval of development applications for exempted nonresidential development by property owners who are delinquent or in default in obligations and payments to the city. [Ord. O-17-2001 § 2].
15.90.030 Approval criteria.
Approval of an application under this chapter requires that the applicant demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city council that the proposed use substantially benefits existing residents of the city and that adequate utility capacity exists in all utilities to serve the improvements proposed in the application.

15.90.040 Relief criteria.
An applicant for relief under this chapter must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city council that important cultural, educational, or social benefits are provided by the applicant’s proposed exempted nonresidential development land use in the city; or in the case of commercial retail, wholesale, storage, manufacturing, or other commercial uses that the economic benefit to the city from increased property tax, sales tax, or other revenue and the associated benefits of commercial development in the city sufficiently outweigh the interest of the city in the prompt collection of accounts receivable or the financial contribution of the applicant to the construction of capital facilities.
