§ 10-272. Intent and purpose.

(a)

This article is intended to implement and be consistent with the Marion County Comprehensive Plan to assess new development a pro rata share of the costs required to finance transportation improvements necessitated by new development.

(b)

The purpose of this article is to require the impact generating land development activity within the county to provide for capital improvements and additions to the major road network system which are necessitated by impact generating land development activity through the payment of impact fees. This article shall not be construed to permit the collection of impact fees from impact generating land development activity in excess of the amount reasonably anticipated to offset the cost to facilitate the demand of the impact generating land development activity.

(c)

This article is intended to be consistent with the principles for allocating a fair share of the cost of new public facilities to new users. This article is intended to require development to contribute its proportionate share of the funds, land, or public facilities necessary to accommodate any impacts having a rational nexus to the proposed development and for which the need is reasonably attributable to the proposed development.
