(a)
In the event that the city incurs costs for professional and/or consultant services related to a proposed development which are over and above the fees routinely charged as part of the development fee schedule, the city may charge such property owner and/or developer fees sufficient to recover costs incurred by city. Such professional and consultant services include, but are not limited to, services performed by engineers, planners, attorneys, financial consultants, and architects.
(b)
All property owners and/or developers submitting development applications of any kind to the city shall be responsible for paying the costs incurred by city associated with providing adjacent property owner notifications of such developer's proposed project.
(c)
City shall invoice developer and/or property owner for such amounts associated with subsections (a) and (b) above, and shall, upon written request of developer and/or property owner, provide documentation to support such amounts. Developer and/or property owner shall pay the invoiced amount to city within 30 days of the date of the invoice.
(d)
In the event a property owner and/or developer is in default to the city for any obligations, monetary payments or otherwise, city staff and consultants, unless specifically waived by city for good cause, shall not process further any development applications submitted by such property owner and/or developer nor issue any development orders (including, but not limited to, building permits, certificates of occupancy, or land use approvals) until such obligations are fulfilled to the city's satisfaction.
