In determining the water pollution control plant capacity fee assessed and levied upon the owner of residential and nonresidential premises initially connecting such premises to the sewer system and upon the owner of residential premises for which a tentative subdivision map has been approved by the city, the director shall deduct from such water pollution control plant capacity fee each of the credits hereinafter provided by this section.
A. Credit for Prior Payments of Water Pollution Control Plant Capacity Fees or Other Sewer System Capacity Fees. Where a water pollution control plant capacity fee or other sewer system capacity fee was previously paid for the premises pursuant to the provisions of this article or any other ordinance or resolution of the city, the director shall credit the owner of the premises with one of the following amounts:
1. If the prior payment of the water pollution control plant capacity fee or other sewer system capacity fee was predicated on the residential use of the premises, then the credit shall be an amount equal to the current water pollution control plant capacity fee for each dwelling unit for which such fee was previously paid.
2. If the prior payment of the water pollution control plant capacity fee or other sewer system capacity fee was predicated on the nonresidential use of the premises and was made on or after June 17, 1982, then the credit shall be an amount equal to the current water pollution control plant capacity fee for each acre or portion of an acre for which such fee was previously paid.
3. If the prior payment of the water pollution control plant capacity fee or other sewer system capacity fee was predicated on the nonresidential use of the premises and was made before June 17, 1982, then the credit shall be an amount equal to the difference between the fee that was previously paid and any part of such fee that is credited toward the trunkline capacity fee as hereinafter provided by this chapter.
B. Credit for Prior Assessment Made as Part of Sewer Assessment Proceedings. Where the premises are located or were located in a sewer assessment district formed for the purpose of constructing and installing water pollution control plant facilities, the director shall credit the owner of such premises with one of the following amounts:
1. If the premises are located or were located in a sewer assessment district formed before December 8, 1981, then the credit shall be an amount equal to the current water pollution control plant capacity fee for one dwelling unit.
2. If the premises are located or were located in a sewer assessment district formed after December 8, 1981, then the credit shall be an amount equal to the current water pollution control plant capacity fee for the use of the premises which was contemplated at the time the assessment district was formed as set forth in the engineer's report prepared as part of the assessment district proceedings.
