(A) This chapter is adopted to be consistent with, and to help implement, the City of Twin Falls comprehensive plan, and particularly the capital improvements element of that plan.
(B) The intent of this chapter is to ensure that new development bears a proportionate share of the cost of improvements to City capital facilities; to ensure that such proportionate share does not exceed the cost of improvements to such facilities required to accommodate new development; and to ensure that funds collected from new development are actually used for improvements to City capital facilities that benefit such new development.
(C) It is the further intent of this chapter to be consistent with those principles for allocating a fair share of the cost of new capital facilities to new development, and for adopting development impact fee ordinances, established by chapter 82, title 67 of the Idaho Code.
(D) It is not the intent of this chapter to collect any money from any new development in excess of the actual amount necessary to offset new demands for City capital facilities created by such new development.
(E) It is not the intent of this chapter that any monies collected from any development impact fee deposited in an impact fee account ever be commingled with monies from a different impact fee account, or ever be used for a development impact fee component different from that for which the fee was paid, or ever be used to correct current deficiencies in the City capital facilities or ever be used to replace, rehabilitate, maintain, or operate any City facility.
