Sec. 30-10. Assessment and collection procedures.
WRAFs will be assessed and collected according to the following procedures:
A. Unless otherwise modified in subsection B of this section, the WRAF will be assessed according to the schedule provided in Section 30-4, with the following conditions applying:
1. Single-Family Residential Development. For a platted single-family residential development, the WRAF in effect at the time the first building permit is issued within the development must be applied to all subsequent permits issued within the same platted development for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance of the first building permit. For permits applied after the 24-month period, the then applicable WRAF will be assessed.
2. For any development not considered residential, single-family, the WRAF in effect at the time of final approval of a site plan (or plat if no site plan is required) will be applied to all subsequent permits issued within the same development for a period of 24 months following the final approval. For permits applied after the 24-month period, the then applicable WRAF will be assessed.
B. The WRAF assessed will be modified as follows:
1. If a change is made to a single-family residential development within the 24-month period identified in subsection (A)(1) of this section which increases the number of EDUs within the development, any permit issued after the change is made will be assessed WRAF using the fee schedules in effect at the time of issuance of the permit.
2. If the City approves a new impact fee schedule during the 24-month periods identified in subsection (A)(1) or (A)(2) of this section which would decrease the amount of the WRAF assessed, the City will assess the lower impact fee for a permit issued after the effective date of the lower WRAF.
C. Collection. WRAF will be calculated and collected prior to issuance of permission to commence development; specifically:
1. Building Permit. If a building permit is required for the development, all WRAF must be paid at the time the building permit is issued.
2. Water or Wastewater without a Building Permit. If a building permit is not required for the development, but water connections are required, any and all WRAF due must be paid at the time the water service connection is purchased.
3. No building permit, water or wastewater connection, or civil/site permit will be issued if a WRAF is not paid in full to the City.
D. Expired or Voided Permits. For issued permits that expire or are voided, WRAF is as follows:
1. If the original permittee is seeking to renew an expired or voided permit, and the WRAF paid for such development have not been refunded, then the permittee must pay the difference between any WRAF paid at the time the permit was issued and those in the fee schedule at the time the permit is reissued or renewed.
2. If a new or renewed permit for the same development is being sought by someone other than the original permittee, the new permit applicant must pay the full WRAF specified in the fee schedule in effect at the time that the permits are reissued or renewed; provided, that if the original permittee has assigned the permits to the new permit applicant, the new permit applicant must pay WRAF.
