(A) An applicant may obtain credit for up to 100 percent of transportation, park, or public safety impact fees otherwise due or to become due by offering to dedicate land for, construct, or make monetary contributions for Eligible Improvements included in the City's current Capital Improvements Plan. If a person elects to and the City Manager approves construction of an improvement other than that scheduled in the current year CIP, the person shall not receive credits until the year the improvement is scheduled for construction by the appropriate governmental entity. To receive a credit, applicants must file an impact fee credit application and provide required information and documentation as required by this section or as determined necessary by the City. Any claim to utilize credits must be made no later than the time of payment of the impact fee. Credits may be assigned or transferred to another development project within the city limits, provided, however, that the transfer to another property shall not be permitted until the development for which the credit was initially established has been completely built out in accordance with city development approvals. (B) Transportation right-of-way dedication credits may be granted, at the discretion of City Council, for major roadway system projects not in the current Capital Improvement Plan but identified in the Pasco County Needs Plan for right-of-way, or in a City Council approved roadway plan. However, such credits shall not be available for use until the year the right-of-way acquisition phase is scheduled by the appropriate governmental entity. (C) An offer to make capital improvements or dedicate land in lieu of paying impact fees shall be made in an application filed with the City identifying the capital improvements and/or land dedications for which credits are requested. The applicant shall specify the dollar amount of the credit requested. The credit claimed by the applicant as the basis for the credit requested shall be no more than fair market value as determined by the City. It is the obligation of the applicant to submit documentation to the satisfaction of the City that supports the amount of the credit requested and describes the basis on which the amount requested was calculated. (D) If the City accepts such an offer, the credit shall be determined and provided in the following manner. (1) The City Manager shall determine credits for the dedication of land based on the most recent market value of the land as determined by the Pasco County Property Appraiser. (2) The City Manager shall determine credits for the construction of capital improvements from the certified engineering criteria and construction cost estimates provided by the applicant and accepted by the City. (3) Once the City Manager has made a credit determination, a written credit agreement or development order shall be provided to the applicant. The applicant shall sign and date the agreement and return the document to the City, which shall be binding on both parties as to the terms and conditions of the credit upon the City Council's approval.
