(a) The impact fees due for the new development shall be collected as follows:
(1) For land located within the city limits, at the time that the building permit is issued; or
(2) For property platted outside of the city limits, at the time an application for an individual meter connection to the city’s water or wastewater system is filed.
(b) Following the filing and acceptance of an application for a building permit or the request for connection to the city’s water or wastewater system, the city shall compute 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 benefit area using the schedule then in effect.
(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 § 35-70.7.
(c) 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 Schedule 1 by the number of service units generated by the development.
(d) 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 Schedule 2 then in effect, and previous payments of impact fees shall be credited against the new fees due.
(e) 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 Schedule 2 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 the connection to the city’s water or wastewater system, or enlargement of such connection.
