such interpretive guidelines shall not be construed to bind the city, or any of its bodies, boards, commissions, departments or officials to any course of conduct or inaction, but are intended to aid an applicant and other members of the public and staff in interpreting and implementing this zoning ordinance. (Code 1971, § 15.800.040)

The director may refer any application to the city attorney for review and preparation of an opinion as to whether any of the conditions enumerated in section 24.500.030 exist that may require rejection of the application for filing or summary denial. The city council, following review of the opinion of the city attorney, may direct that any application be rejected for filing or be summarily denied where any of the conditions enumerated in section 24.500.030 exist or where the application would result in development reasonably anticipated to become unlawful before any right to complete the development has vested.
