(A) The amount of system development charges may be set, and may be revised, by resolution and ordinance of the City Council. The resolution(s) and ordinance(s) shall set the amount of the charge, the type of permit to which the charge applies, the methodology used to set the amount of the charge and, if the charge applies to a geographic area smaller than the entire city, the geographic area subject to the charge.
(B) Unless otherwise exempted by the provisions of this chapter, or other local or state law, an SDC is hereby imposed upon all development within the city, upon connection to the water and/or sewer system, and upon all development outside the boundary of the city that connects to the water and/or sewer facilities of the city, and upon all development which increases the usage of the water and/or sewer system or which contributes to the need for additional or enlarged capital improvements. This shall include both new construction and the alteration, expansion or replacement of a building or development if such alteration, expansion or replacement results in an increase in the number of EDUs or fixtures compared to the prior number of EDUs or fixtures in the development. For alterations, expansions and replacements, the amount of the systems development charge to be paid shall be the difference between the rate for the proposed development and the rate that would be imposed for the development prior to the alteration, expansion or replacement. Street, storm drainage and parks SDCs may also be imposed upon connection to the water and/or sanitary sewer system.
