(C) The fee per residential unit or fee per non-residential square footage or fueling position shall be multiplied by the feepayer's total number of units for residential property or total number of square feet or number of fueling positions for non-residential property. The total will then be multiplied by 1.05 to accommodate the general administrative charge of 5%. The resulting total is the impact fees and administrative charge that shall be paid by the feepayer. The 5% general administrative cost portion of the payment shall be deposited into a separate operating account of the city and shall be used solely to pay the costs of administering the impact fee. The fees in this section shall not exceed the limited imposed by Florida Statutes. (D) In the case of development activity involving a change of use or magnitude of use in which a building permit is required, the proposed development shall be required to pay an impact fee only for the increase in the development activity. The impact fee shall be the difference between the computed impact fee for the proposed development activity and the computed impact fee for the existing development activity as defined above. No refunds will be given for proposed development activity resulting in a negative fee calculation. (E) In determining existing development activity and the units or square feet of proposed or existing development, the City Manager or designee shall use the building permit and certificate of use information contained in the building or zoning records of the city or other governmental agencies. § 155.09. PAYMENT OF IMPACT FEES. (A) Impact fees due may be paid using cash, money order, check, or credit card. If any such payment is not promptly collectable, the city will void the approval of the applicable permit and halt any further reliance on the permit until the fees are collected. (B) Any applicable available development credits that are requested to be used prior to payment shall be deducted from amount due for the transportation, park, or public safety impact fees in accordance with the provisions of § 155.13. § 155.10 INDEPENDENT FEE COMPUTATION STUDY. (A) The feepayer may elect, prior to paying the impact fees from the fee schedules, to utilize an independent fee study prepared by a qualified professional for one or more of the applicable fees. The feepayer shall provide the City Manager or his or her designee notice of intent to utilize an independent fee computation study prior to the issuance of any building permit on the property for which the fee is due. Nothing in this section shall allow a building permit for development activity to be issued without the payment of the applicable impact fees. (B) If the feepayer elects to utilize an independent fee computation study, the feepayer shall, at his or her own expense, prepare and present to the City Manager, a study that documents the basis upon which the value of each of the components of the fee formula were determined. The burden shall be upon the feepayer to provide the data, analysis, and reports necessary for the City Manager or his or her designee to make a determination. The analysis and report must be based on the same methodology set forth in the impact fee study. (C) The City Manager or his or her designee shall determine whether the independent fee computation study accomplishes the following: (1) Adheres to the impact fee methodology used in the impact fee study; (2) Ensure the inputs to the calculation reasonably reflect the long-term impacts (20 years or more) of the development, rather than unique characteristics of the proposed initial occupant or use; (3) Provides complete, thorough, and accurate information; and Page S of 16 309963320
