About each permit
Conditional Use Permit / Variance / Site Plan Review
One conflict is recorded rather than resolved, and it is confined to a single application type. On rezoning, the Planning Department's posted schedule effective August 13, 2025 gives a base of $3,965.00 plus $1,395.00 per acre above one acre with total charges capped at $16,520.00, while the adopted regulation AMCR R21.20.002, last amended by AO 2024-24, gives a base of $9,960.00 plus $1,130.00 per acre above five acres capped at $33,960.00. Conditional use, variance and site plan figures agree across both documents; only rezoning diverges, so both rezoning figures are given here; confirm the applicable one with the Planning Department. The platting figures rest on the Planning Department's posted fee schedule PDF alone rather than on the adopted platting fee regulation, AMCR R21.20.003. Two industry-specific lines are worth flagging: a restaurant or eating place seeking an alcohol license needs an administrative site plan review priced at $1,180.00 plus $0.70 per square foot capped at $4,720.00, and a marijuana special land use permit is $1,700.00.
