(A) There is hereby established one Road Infrastructure Impact Zone (the "Impact Zone"), the boundaries of which are co-terminus with the existing corporate boundaries of the town, as such boundaries may be extended from time to time through annexation, and over which boundaries the town exercises planning and zoning jurisdiction. In this regard, the Town Council specifically finds that there is a functional relationship between the components of the infrastructure types in the Impact Zone, as described in the Plan, and that the infrastructure type, as detailed in the Plan, provides a reasonably uniform benefit to all citizens throughout the Impact Zone as of the adoption of this subchapter. The Town Council further finds that all areas within the Impact Zone are contiguous as required by I.C. 36-7-4-1316.
(B) Except as provided herein, this subchapter shall apply uniformly to all new development within the Impact Zone. This subchapter shall not apply to:
(1) Development meeting the requirements set forth in I.C. 36-7-4-1322(g);
(2) Improvements which do not require a building permit;
(3) Improvements which do not create a need for new and additional infrastructure, including the erection of a sign, construction of accessory buildings, structures or fences, or the alteration, renovation or expansion of an improvement where the use, or intensity thereof, has not changed;
(4) The replacement of a destroyed or partially destroyed improvement provided that the replacement improvement does not create a need for new and additional infrastructure over and above the infrastructure needed by the original improvement prior to the destruction or partial destruction thereof;
(5) Qualified property, as defined in I.C. 36-1-8-18, unless the owner requests that an impact fee be imposed on the property.
