Whenever, in the judgment of the Director of Planning, any application made pursuant to this section is more appropriately the subject of a public hearing before the Planning Commission, he may schedule such application for hearing, in which case the fee paid shall be applied to any fee required for reversions, resubdivisions, or adjustments requiring Planning Commission approval and he shall notify the applicant in writing of his decision. The applicant shall have the option of paying the balance of fees due, if any, and going forward at that time or abandoning his application and forfeiting the fee previously paid. The abandonment of such application shall not prejudice any later application for the same or different action. (Ord. #23, S9; Ord. #36, S9)
