§ 10-322. Computation of amount of fees.

(a)

At the time a complete application for a building permit is submitted for the construction of an impact generating land development activity, the county will determine the amount of impact fees to be paid. The impact fee shall be in the amounts set forth in section 10-327.

(b)

If the land development activity includes fractional units, the fee shall be computed to the appropriate fraction. In the case of a change of use, redevelopment or modification of an existing use which requires the issuance of a building permit, the impact fee shall be based on the net increase in the impact fee for the new use as compared to the existing land development activity.

(c)

If the land development activity being commenced cannot be classified into a development type identified in section 10-327, the feepayer may, at his option, use:

(1)

The current edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) manual entitled Trip Generation and the methodology used in the impact fee study, to determine the trip generation component of the transportation impact fee;

(2)

Or the feepayer may at his option determine the amount of impact fees by use of an independent impact analysis pursuant to section 10-278 of this article.

(d)

Any person undertaking a land development activity subject to impact fee payment who is in doubt as to the type or amount of any impact fees due may request, in writing, a nonbinding statement of impact fees due for the land development activity from the county administrator or his designee, who shall expeditiously respond, in writing, to the request. The administrator may require sufficient drawings or plans related to the proposed development to permit his written answer.
