(A) Every person seeking a building permit for construction for which a transportation development fee is due but has not been paid shall pay such transportation development fee prior to the issuance of the building permit.
(B) The transportation development fee shall be computed by proposed building use and based on the construction plans submitted for approval, according to the schedule set forth in the annual Town of Cary operating budget (TDF Schedule), except for fees computed by an individual assessment in accordance with Section 7.11.8, Individual Assessments, below.
(C) The transportation development fee for proposed new commercial or industrial construction that is speculative construction shall be computed in conjunction with the application for a building permit for the expected use. An additional transportation development fee may be due for the fit-up to be constructed within the shell; however, no refunds will be given. This additional fee will be calculated as the difference in fees between what was paid at the time of speculative construction and what the new use would pay under the TDF Schedule, and shall be paid prior to issuance of the building permit for the fit-up.
(D) If the proposed new construction contains a mix of building uses, the transportation development fee shall be calculated separately for each use according to the TDF Schedule. If the building has a single primary use, the transportation development fee shall be calculated for a single use, according to the TDF Schedule.
(E) The transportation development fee shall be collected for additions to and remodeling of existing structures and shall be calculated based on that portion of the structure that represents an increase above the number of dwelling units or the floor area of the building, as it exists prior to the addition or remodeling. If the addition or remodeling results in a use change that increases trip generation, the transportation development fee will be calculated as the difference in fees between what the existing and new use would pay under the TDF Schedule. If the addition or remodeling results in a use change that decreases trip generation, no transportation development fee will be charged. No refunds will be given.
(1) Alteration or expansion of an existing building where no additional dwelling units are created, the use is not changed, and where no additional vehicle trips will be produced over and above that produced by the existing use.
(2) The construction of accessory buildings or structures that will not produce additional vehicle trips over and above that produced by the principal building or use of the land.
(3) The replacement of a destroyed or partially destroyed building or structure with a new building or structure of the same size and use, provided that no additional trips will be produced over and above that produced by the original use of the land.
(4) Private recreational facilities provided that such facilities are restricted for use by residents and their guests without charge and no additional vehicle trips will be produced over and above that produced by the principal residential use.
