(A) Schedule of impact fees.
(1) The municipal services impact fee shall be the sum of the recreational services impact fee, the police services impact fee and the fire/rescue services impact fee calculated using the following schedules:
Recreational Services Impact Fee Schedule
| |
Public lodging establishments | $816/lodging unit |
Residential structure | $900/dwelling unit |
Police Services Impact Fee Schedule
| |
Nonresidential structure | $0.30/square foot |
Residential structure | $103/dwelling unit |
Fire/Rescue Impact Fee Schedule
| |
Nonresidential structure | $0.20/square foot |
Residential structure | $202/dwelling unit |
(2) Unspecified uses: if the type of development activity that a building permit is applied for is not specified on the schedule of impact fees, the City Administrator or designee shall determine the appropriate fee by considering demographic or other documentation, whichever is available.
(3) Change in use or density: In the case of change of use, redevelopment or expansion or modification of an existing use on a site, which requires the issuance of a building permit, the municipal services impact fee shall be based upon the net increase in the municipal services impact fee for the new use as compared to the most intense previous use on or after March 8, 2005, or the effective date of any applicable amendments to this subchapter.
(B) Alternative for developer fee study. If a fee payer opts not to have the municipal services impact fee determined according to the schedule of impact fees, then the fee payer shall prepare and submit to the City Administrator or designee, an independent fee calculation study for the land development activity for which a building permit is sought. The independent fee calculation study shall follow the methodologies and formats used in the “City of Mexico Beach, Municipal Services Impact Fee Study”, dated February 22, 2005, prepared by Public Resources Management Group, Inc. The documentation submitted shall show the basis upon which the independent fee calculation was made. The City Administrator or designee shall consider the documentation submitted by the fee payer but is not required to accept such documentation if it is deemed to be inaccurate or not reliable. The City Administrator or designee may, in the alternative, require the fee payer to submit additional or different documentation for consideration. If an acceptable independent fee calculation study is not presented, the fee payer shall pay the municipal services impact fees based upon the schedule of impact fees. If an acceptable independent fee calculation study is presented, the City Administrator or designee may adjust the municipal services impact fee as appropriate to the particular development. Determinations made by the City Administrator or designee, pursuant to this paragraph may be appealed to the City Council by the fee payer providing a written request with the City Administrator or designee, within ten days of the City Administrator’s or designee’s determination.
