There is hereby established one bridge construction and infrastructure impact zone, the borders of which are co-terminus with the existing corporate borders of the city and as they may be extended from time to time through annexation, and over which the city exercises planning and zoning jurisdiction. In this regard, the City Council specifically finds that there is a functional relationship between the components of the Zone Improvement Plan and the Bridge Impact Fee Analysis, and that the plan provides a reasonably uniform benefit to all of the citizens throughout the impact zone as of the adoption of this subchapter. The City Council further finds that all areas within the impact zone are contiguous as required in IC 36-7-4-1316. Except as provided below, this subchapter shall apply uniformly to all developments within the impact zone hereby established for which the city may require a structural building permit and which creates a need for new and additional bridge construction and infrastructure. This subchapter shall not apply to:
(A) Developments meeting the requirements set forth in IC 36-7-4-1322(g);
(B) Improvements which do not require a structural building permit;
(C) Improvements which do not create a need for new and additional infrastructure, including the erection of a sign, construction of accessory buildings, structures or fences or the alteration, renovation or expansion of an improvement where the use, or intensity thereof, has not changed; and
(D) The replacement of a destroyed or partially destroyed improvement, provided that the replacement improvement does not create a need for new and additional infrastructure over and above the infrastructure needed by the original improvement prior to the destruction or partial destruction thereof.
