In the event that any request or amendment is being considered, whether or not a public hearing is involved, and it is continued at the request of the applicant more than one time, an additional fee shall be required to cover the reasonable costs to the city, including the cost of any additional advertising cost and the cost of the city's consultants due to the postponement.

F.

If the applicant is not present at a meeting where the request is being considered and the request cannot be considered, then an additional fee, as described in 6.2E above, shall also be required.
