§ 42-133. Rates.

(a)

Rates. The fire protection impact fee rates to be applied to each new development building permit are contained in section 42-138—Fee schedule.

(b)

Mixed uses. If a building permit is requested for mixed uses, then the fire protection impact fee shall be determined by using the impact fee schedule contained in section 42-138 to calculate the impact fee due for each use specified on the building permit.

(c)

Unspecified use. It is the intent that all development requiring building permit(s) shall pay an appropriate fire protection impact fee. If the type of development activity requiring a building permit is not specified in the impact fee schedule contained in section 42-138, the city manager, or his/her designee, shall assign the fee applicable to the most nearly comparable use or uses in the fee schedule contained in section 42-138.

(d)

Change of use or density. In the case of a change of use or density which requires a building permit, the impact fee shall be based on the net increase of the fee, if any, for the new land use as compared with the previous land use as determined by the city manager or his/her designee.

(e)

Appeal. Any owner who disagrees with the determination of the city manager or his/her designee may appeal such decision to the city council by filing a written request for appeal within 20 days of the determination by the city manager or his/her designee.
