A. The city may adjust the impact fees imposed pursuant to this chapter as necessary in order to:
1. Respond to unusual circumstances in specific cases;
2. Ensure that the impact fees are imposed fairly;
3. Ensure that the fee represents the proportionate share of the costs of providing such facilities which are reasonably related to and necessary in order to provide the services in question to anticipated future growth and development activities;
4. Allow credits against impact fees for dedication of land for improvement to or new construction of any system improvements which are identified in the capital facilities plan and required by the city as a condition of approving the development activity. No credits shall be given for project improvements. The determination of what constitutes a project improvement will, of necessity, vary somewhat depending on the specific facts and circumstances presented by the nature, size and scope of any particular development activity. All new development activity will be required to install site improvements and facilities which are reasonably necessary to service the proposed development at adopted level of service standards; and
5. Exempt low income housing and other development activities with broad public purposes from impact fees and establish one or more sources of funds other than impact fees to pay for that development activity.
B. The mayor or his designee shall have the authority to make such adjustments based upon reliable information submitted by an applicant and any recommendation from the city staff.
C. The mayor may adopt policies consistent with this chapter and any resolutions passed by the municipal council to assist in the implementation, administration and interpretation of this chapter related to impact fees.
D. If the applicant, person, or entity is not satisfied with the decision of the mayor, a further appeal may be made under the procedures set forth in Utah Code Annotated section 11-36a-703. (Ord. 13-01, 2013)
