(Ord. 2023-027, passed 10-24-23)
City Council shall have the following remedies, which may be exercised individually or collectively, for collecting development impact fees. The failure to pursue any remedy at any time shall not be deemed as a waiver of city rights to pursue any remedy at such other time as may be deemed appropriate.
(A) Interest and penalties. The city may, at its discretion, seek funds in addition to the amount of calculated development impact fees due prior to award of a Certificate of Occupancy for reasonable interest and penalties for non-payment or late payment of required funds. Penalties for unpaid development impact fees shall be administered consistent with § 157.212(C)(3), which declares the violation a criminal misdemeanor penalty subject to a fine determined by the court for each offense.
(B) Withholding Certificate of Occupancy. The city may withhold a Certificate of Occupancy until full and complete payment has been made by the developer of development impact fees due for the development.
(C) Withholding utility service. The city may withhold the provision of utility services to a development until the required development impact fees have been paid in full.
(D) Lien. The city may impose a lien on the developer's property for failure of the developer to pay required development impact fees in full.
(E) Other. The city may pursue the collection of the development impact fees, including interest, by way of civil process in the Court of Kershaw County.
