 Chapter 88. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FEE SCHEDULE

  § 88-11. Change of ownership.  

Latest version.

  • An applicant shall provide prompt written notice to the city manager in the event of a change in ownership of all or a portion of a lot, tract, or parcel of real property with respect to which an application, or project is pending before the city. Such notice shall be on a form approved by the city and shall include the name, address and phone number of the new owner and a legal description of the lot, tract or parcel of real property now owned by the new owner. Any such new owner (i) shall not be entitled to utilize or draw upon any review deposit previously paid to the city by the original applicant, (ii) shall be liable to the city for all fees, costs and expenses related to the lot, tract or parcel of real property which arise subsequent to the date the new owner acquires title to such real property, and (iii) may be required by the city to pay a separate review deposit in the same manner as a new application in which case a separate project account will be opened in the name of the new owner or the new owner's authorized agent. If a separate review deposit is required, no work shall be undertaken by the city with respect to the lot, tract or parcel of real property then owned by the new owner until a separate review deposit is paid to the city. Until such time as the city receives such written notice of a change in ownership, the original applicant shall be jointly and severally liable to the city for all fees, costs and expenses associated with the application or project which may subsequently be incurred by the city in connection with the activities of the new owner; provided, however, that upon receipt by the city of such a notification of change of ownership, the original applicant shall no longer be liable to the city for fees, costs and expenses incurred by the city which arise solely out of the application or project of the new owner and the new owner shall be solely liable to the city for all such fees, costs and expenses associated with the application or project activities of the new owner or the new owner's authorized agent subsequent to the date of receipt by the city of such notification.
