A. If a fee payer believes that a fee should be charged different from the impact fees determined according to this chapter, the fee payer shall prepare and submit to the city administrator an independent fee calculation for the impact fee(s) associated with the development activity for which a building permit is sought. The documentation submitted shall show the basis upon which the independent fee calculation was made. The administrative officer is not required to accept any documentation which the administrative officer reasonably deems to be inaccurate, unsubstantiated, or unreliable, and may require the fee payer to submit additional or different documentation prior to the administrative officer's consideration of an independent fee calculation.
B. Any fee payer submitting an independent fee calculation shall pay an administrative processing fee, per calculation, of one hundred dollars ($100.00).
C. Based on the information within the administrative officer's possession, the administrative officer is authorized to adjust the impact fee to the specific characteristics of the development activity, and/or according to principles of fairness. Such adjustments shall be preceded by written findings justifying the fee.
D. Determinations made by the administrative officer pursuant to this section may be appealed subject to the procedures set forth in section 3.04.090 of this chapter. (Ord. 2011-02: Ord. 96-102 § 3: prior code § 7-120)
