A facility funded by a governmental agency shall indicate the principal current and anticipated source of funds. Where any uncertainty exists as to the nonprofit status of the facility, the applicant shall file a copy of the articles of incorporation or an affidavit, to the satisfaction of a Zoning Administrator, showing that the child-care facility will be nonprofit.

(a) That the applicant made a good-faith attempt to file the application properly, and

This subdivision shall not be construed to allow credit to be given at the applicant’s option, nor to allow refunds of any fees paid on the original application.

  3. Full Cost Recovery. In addition to the fees set forth in this article, the Department of City Planning may negotiate with an applicant, pursuant to LAAC Section 5.121.9.3, for reimbursement of the actual costs associated with the City’s processing of discretionary actions or other Planning reviews and processes for applications involving extraordinary projects, which require unusually heavy commitments of department resources but not involving a “major project”, as that term is defined in LAAC Section 5.121.9(b).
