The building and equipment fees assessed and levied pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be due and payable as follows:
A. Where a building and equipment fee is assessed and levied upon the owner of property located within the city at the time of the construction of a new building or structure on such property or at the time an alteration or addition is made to an existing building or structure on the property, such fee shall be due and payable prior to the issuance of a building permit for such new building or structure, or alteration or addition to such existing building or structure. For purposes of updates and new fees going into effect, the fees due are those that are in effect at the time in which building plans are submitted. For projects that require a planning entitlement, building plans are able to be submitted after a project approval that has successfully cleared any appeal processes;
B. Where a building and equipment fee is assessed and levied upon the owner of property located within the city at the time of a change or expansion in the use of such property or any building or structure located thereon which does not require a building permit, such fee will be due and payable prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such changed or expanded use;
C. However, where a building and equipment fee is assessed and levied upon the owner of property located within the city at the time of a change or expansion in the use of such property or any building or structure located thereon which requires neither a building permit nor a certificate of occupancy, then such fee will be due and payable prior to the commencement of the changed or expanded use.
