(A) The impact fees due for roadway facilities shall be collected at the time of issuance of a building permit for any work on the subject property, unless a development agreement between the developer and the city has been executed providing for a different time or method of payment, whichever comes first.
(B) For areas where water and wastewater capacity is available:
(1) The city shall collect all impact fees due at the time the city issues a building permit; or
(2) For land platted outside the corporate boundaries of the city, the city shall collect the fees for water or wastewater facilities at the time an application for an individual meter connection to the city's water or wastewater system is filed.
(C) If the building permit for which an impact fee has been paid has expired, and a new application is thereafter filed, the impact fees due shall be computed using the schedule then in effect, and previous payments of impact fees shall be credited against the new fees due.
(D) The city shall calculate the impact fees due for the new development in the following manner:
(1) The amount of each impact fee due shall be determined by multiplying the number of service units generated by the new development by the impact fee due per service unit for the service area using Appendix A – Table of Water and Wastewater Service Unit Equivalencies. The number of service units shall be determined according to § 158.007.
(2) The amount of each impact fee due shall be reduced by any allowable credits for that category of capital improvements, in the manner provided in § 158.010.
(E) The amount of each impact fee due for a new development shall not exceed an amount computed by multiplying the maximum impact fee per service unit under Appendix A – Table of Water and Wastewater Service Unit Equivalencies by the number of service units generated by the development.
(F) Whenever the property owner proposes to increase the number of service units for a development, the additional impact fees collected for such new service units shall be determined by using the schedule then in effect and such additional fee shall be collected either prior to or at the time of issuance of a new building permit, or prior to or at the time of enlargement of the connection to the city's water or wastewater system.
(G) Residential irrigation meter exemption. The payment of the water impact fee shall not be required by an existing residential customer for the installation of a meter to serve a separate lawn irrigation system provided all of the following requirements are met:
(1) The lawn irrigation meter does not exceed the three-quarter inch by five-eighths inch standard basic meter size;
(2) The lawn irrigation shall be located on the same property as the residential meter;
(3) The residential property must be owner-occupied; and
(4) The lawn irrigation meter only serves the lawn irrigation system.
(5) The upgrade of a three-quarter inch by five-eighths inch lawn irrigation meter to a one inch meter shall require payment of a water impact fee based on the difference between the base meter size and the water impact fee for a one inch meter.
(6) No exemption or pro-rata credit shall apply for any meter size exceeding one inch for a lawn irrigation meter.
(H) On property that receives final plat approval before February 13, 2018, no impact fees shall be collected on any service unit for which a valid building permit is issued on or before February 13, 2019. If a building permit obtained within that period subsequently expires, and no new application is made and approved within such period, the new development shall be subject to the payment of impact fees. On property that receives final plat approval on or after February 13, 2018, and before July 1, 2018, no impact fees shall be collected on any service unit for which a valid building permit is issued before July 1, 2018. If a building permit obtained within that period subsequently expires, and no new application is made and approved within such period, the new development shall be subject to the payment of impact fees.
