(A)
The county shall calculate the applicable public education facilities impact fees due from a proposed residential development in accordance with the procedure set forth in Ordinance 2718, the intergovernmental agreement, this section, and School Impact Fee Study and Amended Capital Improvement Plan prepared for the Fort Mill School District by TischlerBise (dated June 14, 2018 and revised September 7, 2022, and any amendments thereafter). The maximum allowable school impact fee is stated in Attachment B: Fort Mill School District Fee Calculations (dated November 29, 2022), which is attached to Ordinance No. 6822 and incorporated herein by reference. The impact fee amount for the school district which will be charged is established in Attachment A: Fort Mill School District Public Education Facilities Impact Fee Schedule, which is attached to Ordinance 2818 and Attachment A: The Fort Mill School District Public Education Facilities Impact Fee Schedule, which is attached to Ordinance No. 6822, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
(B) The following general procedure shall be followed by the county upon receipt of an application for a building permit for new residential development:
(1) Identify the number and type of dwelling units in the proposed new residential development; and
(2) Multiply the number of dwelling units by the impact fee per the type of dwelling unit.
(C) In lieu of calculating the amount(s) of impact fees by reference to Attachment A as attached to Ordinance No. 2818 and Ordinance No. 6822, a fee payor may request that the amount of the required impact fees be determined by reference to an Individual Assessment of Development Impact for the proposed development.
(1) If a fee payor requests the use of an Individual Assessment of Development Impact, the fee payor shall be responsible for retaining a qualified professional to prepare the Individual Assessment of Development Impact that complies with the requirements of this section, at the fee payor's expense.
(2) Each Individual Assessment of Development Impact shall be based on the same level of service standards and system improvement costs for capital improvements for public education facilities used in School Impact Fee Study and Amended Capital improvement Plan prepared for the Fort Mill School District by TischlerBise (dated June 14, 2018 and revised September 7, 2022, and any amendments thereafter), and shall document the relevant methodologies and assumptions used.
(3) Each Individual Assessment of Development Impact shall be submitted to the director or a designee, and may be accepted, rejected, or accepted with modifications by the director or a designee as the basis for calculating public education facilities impact fees. If an Individual Assessment of Development Impact is accepted or accepted with modifications by the director or a designee as a more accurate measure of the demand for capital improvements for public education facilities created by the proposed new development than the applicable fees in Attachment A of Ordinance No. 2818 and Ordinance No. 6822, then the impact fees due under this subchapter shall be calculated according to such assessment.
(4) The decision of the Director regarding the Individual Assessment of Development Impact shall be final. A fee payor may appeal the Director's decision pursuant to the appeal procedures identified in Ordinance 2718 (impact fee procedures).
