9-2-3: FINDINGS; GENERAL PROVISIONS:

The City Council finds that, unless otherwise exempt, all new development creates an impact and therefore an increased demand for public services. As such, those users who create the additional demand should bear the cost of new public facilities when new growth or development requires new public facilities.

   A.   This chapter shall not be construed to subject any development to double payment of the same impact fees.

   B.   An impact fee shall not be invalid because the intended improvement for which the fee was paid results in an incidental benefit to owners or developers within a service area other than the fee payer.

   C.   After payment of impact fees or the execution of an agreement for payment of impact fees, the City may not assess additional impact fees or increase fees to be paid unless the number of service units increases or the scope of the development changes.

   D.   In the event of an increase in the number of service units or the schedule of the development changes, the additional impact fees assessed are limited to the amount attributable to the additional service units or change in scope of the development. (Ord. 43-16, 12-13-2016, eff. 1-1-2017)
