§ 15-5002. APPLICATION AND FEES.

A.

Applicant.

1.

The property owner(s) shall sign all applications.

2.

If the application is made by someone other than the owner, written proof, satisfactory to the Director, of the right to act as the owner's agent or to use and possess the property as applied for, shall accompany the application.

3.

Written proof of authorization must be signed and dated by the property owner and expressly state what the agent is authorized to do on behalf of the owner.

B.

Forms and Materials.

1.

Application Forms. The Director shall prepare and issue application forms and lists that specify the information that will be required from applicants for projects subject to the provisions of this Code.

2.

Supporting Materials. The Director may require the submission of supporting materials as part of the application, including, but not limited to, operational statements, photographs, plans, drawings, renderings, models, material and color samples, and other items necessary to describe existing conditions on the project site and in the vicinity and the proposed project and to determine the level of environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

3.

Availability of Materials. All material submitted becomes the property of the City, may be distributed to the public, and shall be made available for public inspection. At any time, upon reasonable request, and during normal business hours, any person may examine an application and materials submitted in support of or in opposition to an application in the Planning Division offices. Unless prohibited by law, copies of such materials shall be made available at a reasonable cost.

C.

Application Fees.

1.

Payment of Application and Processing Fees. No application or covenant shall be accepted as complete and processed without payment in full of the required application and review fee per the Master Fee Schedule.

2.

Multiple Applications. The City's processing fees are cumulative. For example, if an application for a Conditional Use Permit also includes a Variance, both fees shall be charged. Cost savings may be incurred due to similar documents being prepared for a single project, such as CEQA review, should the applications be filed simultaneously.
