For developer-initiated sewer infrastructure projects or city-initiated sewer infrastructure projects, the sewer capacity charge shall be calculated as follows:
(a) Development cost shall be determined consistent with the definitions contained in section 35-95.
(b) For a developer-initiated sewer infrastructure project, the developer must provide the calculated sewer basin boundary, and all information, studies, and exhibits requested by the city. The city must approve the calculated basin area. For a city-initiated sewer infrastructure project or a developer-initiated sewer infrastructure project with city participation, the city will determine the sewer basin boundary and the developer shall provide all information, studies, and exhibits requested by the city.
(c) The sewer capacity charge is calculated by dividing the development cost by the sewer infrastructure capacity. The sewer infrastructure capacity is determined in accordance with the most current version of the city's "Installation Policy and Design Criteria for Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Infrastructure." The sewer infrastructure capacity is dependent on pipe slope and pipe diameter.
(d) A sewer capacity charge shall not be created for a frontage main that is part of a sewer infrastructure project if the frontage main is eligible to have an assessment for a front footage charge pursuant to the city code.
