SEC. 15-199. REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP.

   (A)   There is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed, and between the need for the wastewater facilities financed by the fee and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed in that all types of development projects subject to the fee produce wastewater, which requires more or higher capacity wastewater facilities.

   (B)   There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the wastewater facilities or portion thereof attributable to the development project on which the fee is imposed in that the cost estimates used to calculate the fee shall be reasonable cost estimates for constructing the wastewater facilities identified, the total fees to be imposed shall not exceed the total of the cost estimates, and the fees to be imposed on a particular development project shall not exceed the project's proportionate share of the cost of the facilities that are necessary to serve the development project. Such cost estimates and the method of calculating each development project's proportionate share thereof shall be set out in the staff report approved by the city council at the time of setting the fees.
