(A) Calculation of DIFs. The amount of each DIF assessed on an applicant for a building permit shall be calculated based on the city’s master fee schedule in effect at the time of issuance of the building permit.
(B) Time for payment of DIFs. All DIFs assessed on an applicant shall be paid by the applicant at the time of issuance of the building permit.
(C) Mixed uses. When a project will include both residential and non-residential uses, the Director shall determine the DIF amounts by applying to each use the applicable fee for that individual use and adding the totals of fees applicable to all of the uses within the project. For example, and by way of illustration only, a project that contains ten residential units and 20,000 square feet of retail commercial space would pay DIFs in a total amount equal to the sum of:
(1) The total of ten times the amount of each DIF per residential unit; plus
(2) The total of 20,000 times the amount of each DIF per square foot of retail commercial space.
(D) Accessory dwelling units. DIFs shall be collected for accessory dwelling units as follows:
(1) Accessory dwelling units on multifamily properties shall pay the lesser of the following:
(a) The multifamily rate;
(b) The product of the following formula:
(Square feet of accessory dwelling unit / Average square feet of all existing multi-family dwelling units on the same parcel) X Multifamily rate
(2) Accessory dwelling units on single- family properties shall pay the lesser of the following:
(a) The multifamily rate;
(b) The product of the following formula:
(Square feet of accessory dwelling unit / Square feet of primary dwelling) X Single-family rate
(3) DIFs shall not be collected on accessory dwelling units smaller than 750 square feet in area.
