(3) No net increase in non-residential square footage. No impact fee shall be imposed on any new non-residential development which does not add square footage, unless the new non-residential development increases the demand for capital improvements for which impact fees are being imposed.
(F) Other uses. No impact fee shall be imposed on a use, development, project, structure, building, fence, sign or other activity, whether or not a building permit is required, which does not result in an increase in the use of public facilities or demand for capital improvements.
