The city council shall, by resolution, establish an admin- istrative fee to the park owner to offset the costs to the city of the regulatory activities provided pursuant to this chapter. No fee shall be imposed for any space exempted from this chapter pursuant to Civil Code section 798.17. No more than one-half (t/2) of the per space charge may be collected by the park owner from the resident of the space for which the fee is paid. (Ord. 1843 § 2, 2001) 6.60.130 Fee For Fair Return And Base Year Rent Adjustment Petitions: A. Time For Fee Submittal And Amount Thereof: At the time the park owner files a fair return or base year rent adjustment petition pursuant to section 6.60.080 or 6.60.090 of this chapter, the park owner shall also sub- mit afee in an amount specified by the city council by resolution. The fee shall be used to pay costs of the city incurred in conducting proceedings on the fair return or base year rent adjustment petition pursuant to this section, in- cluding, without limitation, city staff time, noticing, audit costs, accountant costs, appraisal fees, postage and hear- ing officer cost. If the amount of the fee exceeds such costs, the balance shall be refunded to the park owner within thirty (30) days after completion of the proceedings. In the event that the city determines that the costs incurred in conducting the proceeding exceeds the fee(s) paid by the park owner, the city shall notify the hearing officer who shall require the park owner to submit additional amounts to cover the city's costs. The hearing officer shall have the power to stay the proceedings until the fees are paid or to dismiss the petition with prejudice if the fees are not paid. The hearing officer shall not issue a decision until all appropriate fees are paid. B. Recovery Of Fee: If the hearing officer approves a rent increase that is equal to or greater than the rent in- crease requested by the park owner in the fair return or base year rent adjust- ment petition, the cost of the fee may be passed through to the homeowners affected by the rent increase, less any amount refunded by the city. If the hearing officer approves a rent increase that is less than the rent increase re- quested by the park owner in the fair return or base year rent adjustment petitions, the park owner shall only be entitled to reimbursement of a percent- age of the fee paid, said percentage being the same as that percentage of the rent increase which was granted in comparison to the rent increase which was requested. Unless the park owner and the residents agree otherwise, the reimbursement shall be paid in equal installments with the rent payments for the twelve (12) month period following 192-61 (Pleasanton April 2003)
