compliance with all laws, zoning ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to the business. The Ramsey HRA will review each application on a case -by -case basis and reserves the right to exclude activities not consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, or if the concept does not benefit the health, safety and welfare of the community. Application Process The applicant must submit a completed Housing Assistance Application and all required attachments to the City's Community Development Department. City staff will make every effort to review completed applications within a three-week period of time. The Ramsey Housing and Redevelopment Authority will make a recommendation on the Housing Assistance Application to the Ramsey City Council. Applicants will be notified of HRA and City Council meetings and may be asked to attend to present their request for assistance. Any financial assistance to housing programs as part of this program is subject to City Council approval. Moreover, such financial assistance is limited by the availability of City funds. Implementation Procedures The program does require the applicant pay upfront permit fees. To be in good standing with the City, applicant and/or landlords must be current on all municipal taxes, special assessments, City utility bills, or EDA loans. Principal forgiveness will cease if the applicant and/or landlords fail to be current on these obligations. Principal forgiveness will cease if the applicant discontinues the business, moves the business, or fails to comply with any and all building, fire, health, or zoning codes or regulations. Sunset Date The Housing Assistance Policy and Program Guidelines will expire years (and at the end of the month) from the date this policy is approved. Financial assistance that has been approved for projects that have not yet begun by the sunset date would still be valid, unless otherwise determined by the City Council.
