Upon request by the applicant, the council, in its discretion, may waive in whole or part the fees that would otherwise be collected from the applicant for issuance of a permit under any code specified in this Chapter 8, provided the council makes all of the following findings by resolution:

a. The applicant is a not-for-profit organization qualified for tax-exempt status under Federal and State law; and

b. The applicant will use the subject building, structure or facility solely to provide services or products that will be of exceptional and significant direct benefit to the health, welfare and/or safety of the city's residents, plus related incidental uses; and

c. Payment of the permit fees would substantially impair the applicant in providing such services or products or would otherwise impose an undue financial hardship on the applicant.

A waiver of permit fees under this section shall apply only to the specified permit and shall not be deemed a waiver of fees for any other permit fees or for any other applicant. Waiver of permit fees shall not waive the requirement for actual issuance of the permit or compliance with any terms of the permit.
