(A) Permit Required. No person, corporation, public agency, partnership or association shall renovate, or cause to be renovated, any building or other structure in such a way as would cause the number of use benefits for such property, as determined in accordance with the schedule set forth in § 1044.02, to be increased by more than 15% without first securing from the Building Commissioner or his or her designated representative a permit for such renovation on a form prescribed by Council. In addition, prior to the issuance of such permit, the applicant therefor shall pay the charge provided for in division (B) hereof and any applicable additional charges determined in accordance with this chapter.
(B) Trunk Charges. Where renovation is to be made and the property to be renovated has been assessed or charged a connection charge for a portion of the cost of constructing the EPA-financed system, the Building Commissioner shall not issue a permit for the purpose described in division (A) hereof until the applicant therefor has paid, in addition to any applicable charges specified in § 1044.03 or any other section of this chapter, a renovation sewer charge calculated as follows:
(1) Determine the number of use benefits in accordance with the schedule set forth in § 1044.02, multiply that number by the applicable cost as hereinafter established for a unit of one and multiply the product by a fraction, the numerator of which is the construction cost index as published in the Engineering News Record as of the date nearest to the date of the application for the permit required by this section, and the denominator of which is the construction cost index as of the date nearest to the completion date;
(2) Determine the amount of the special assessment which was in fact levied against such lot or parcel as of the completion date and increase such amount by an amount equal to 5% of the initial special assessment multiplied by the number of full year periods which have passed since the special assessment was levied; and
(3) Subtract the amount determined in accordance with division (B)(2) hereof from the amount determined in accordance with division (B)(1) hereof. The positive amount so calculated shall be the applicable cost under this division (B). The charge for a unit of one is hereby established as $628.54.
(C) Lateral Charges. Where renovation is to be made and the property to be renovated has been assessed or charged a connection charge for a portion of the cost of constructing the system, and such property is connected directly to a trunk sewer, lateral sewer or private sewer which connects directly to a lateral sewer, the Building Commissioner shall not issue a permit for the purpose described in division (A) hereof until the applicant therefor has paid, in addition to the charge specified in division (B) hereof and any applicable charges specified in § 1044.03 or any other section of this chapter, a renovation sewer charge calculated as follows:
(1) Determine the number of use benefits in accordance with the schedule set forth in § 1044.02, multiply that number by the applicable cost as hereinafter established for a unit of one and multiply the product by a fraction, the numerator of which is the construction cost index as published in the Engineering News Record as of the date nearest to the date of the application for the permit required by this section, and the denominator of which is the construction cost index as of the date nearest to the completion date;
(2) Determine the amount of the special assessment which was in fact levied against such lot or parcel as of the completion date and increase such amount by an amount equal to 5% of the initial special assessment multiplied by the number of full year periods which have passed since the special assessment was levied; and
(3) Subtract the amount determined in accordance with division (C)(2) hereof from the amount determined in accordance with division (C)(1) hereof. The positive amount so calculated shall be the applicable cost under this division (C).
