Any approval of a substantial change under this section shall be made only upon thefinding of all of the factors required in section 25-15-203.
The application for approval of a substantial change under this section shall be accompanied by a fee established by the jurisdiction whose approval is required for such substantial change, which fee shall not exceed ten thousand dollars and which fee may be refunded in whole or in part. If the department is not the approving jurisdiction, up to fifty percent of such fee shall be transmitted to the department to offset the costs of the department's review pursuant to section 25-15-202 (4), including possible costs of reimbursement to other state agencies which assist in such review.
