§ 9-500 FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN LIEU OF CONSTRUCTION.
   (a)   At the discretion of the city, the immediate construction of the public infrastructure required for a development may be infeasible or impractical until a later date for reasons including, but not limited to:

      (2)   The public infrastructure creating a potentially hazardous condition if they are constructed immediately.

   (e)   After the future improvements agreement has been executed by the city and the developer, and the developer has paid the city the amount required by this section, the developer's requirement to construct public infrastructure for the development contained in the future improvements agreement shall be met unless the developer makes changes to the design of the development that would require additional or different public infrastructure.
