§ 159.108. Road Impact Fee Schedule.

(A)

The amount of the road impact fee shall be determined by the applicable road impact fee schedule adopted as an exhibit to the ordinance. The 2013 updated fee schedule is subject to revision based on the provisions of section 158.109.

(B)

The City Manager shall determine the applicable land use type.

(1)

If a building or structure is requested for mixed uses, then the impact fee shall be determined through using the applicable fee schedule by apportioning the space committed to uses specified on the fee schedule.

(2)

If the type of development activity for which a building permit is applied, or change of use is not specified on the applicable fee schedule, the City Manager shall use the fee applicable to the most nearly comparable type of land development on the fee schedule. The City Manager shall be guided in the selection of a comparable type by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) traffic generation studies.

(C)

In the case of a change of use, redevelopment, or modification of an existing use the impact fee shall be based upon the net increase in the impact fee for the new use as compared to the previous use in accordance with the fee schedule. No impact fee refund will be granted if a net decrease results.

(D)

If the road impact fee has been calculated and paid based on error or misrepresentation, it will be recalculated and the difference refunded to the original applicant. If road impact fees are owed, no permits of any type may be issued for the building or structure in question, or for any other portion of a development of which the building or structure in question is a part, until road impact fees are paid.

(E)

The applicant may submit evidence to the City Manager demonstrating that the road impact fees set out in subsection (A)are not reasonable when applied to the particular project. Based upon convincing and competent evidence the City Manager may adjust the road impact fee to be reasonable for the particular project.

(F)

The applicant may provide a schedule and method for payment of the fees in a manner appropriate to the particular circumstances of the proposed development in lieu of the requirements for payment of the fees as set forth in section 159.105; provided that the City receives acceptable security ensuring payment of the fees prior to the issuance of a building permit, certificate of occupancy, or other permit. Such security may take the form of a cash bond, surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or a negotiable certificate of deposit. Liens or mortgages on lands to be covered by the building permit are not acceptable. Any agreement proposed by an applicant pursuant to this subsection must be approved by the City Council prior to the issuance of the building permit, certificate of occupancy, or other permit. The City Council may approve such agreements only if it finds that the agreement will apportion the burden of new capital facilities in a just and equitable fashion, consistent with the Florida statutory and case law.
