Raising development appeal fees (O-26-60)

The council raised the fee to appeal an approved development project to $925 while keeping appeals of denials at $300, with waivers for low-income appellants. Neighborhood groups said the cost locks volunteers out of the appeal process; builders said appeals already cost homebuyers thousands in project delays.
