§ 3.12.090. Collection of charge.

(A)

The systems development charges established by resolution pursuant to this chapter are payable upon issuance of:

(1)

A building permit;

(2)

A development permit for development not requiring the issuance of a building permit; or

(3)

A permit to connect to the water.

(B)

If development is commenced or connection is made to the water without an appropriate permit, the systems development charge is immediately payable upon the earliest date that a permit was required.

(C)

The appropriate City staff shall collect the applicable systems development charge from the developer of a parcel when a permit that allows building or development of a parcel is issued or when a connection or enlargement of a connection to the water of the City is made.

(D)

No permit shall be issued or allow such connection until the charge has been paid in.

(E)

Projects with meter sizes larger than four inches may be sized for combined fire and consumption demands. Applicants whose projects will require these large meters will have to pay the SDC based on the actual meter size installed. The applicant may, one year after completion of the project, ask for a review of their consumption patterns. If the maximum consumption demand is less than that which is available for the meter size installed, a reduction in SDC fee to the approximate meter size will be allowed. If the consumption patterns change for these customers who have qualified for a reduction in SDC fees, the Commission or City may require the payment of additional fees.

(F)

Additional provisions regarding collection of system development charges may be set forth in the resolution establishing the charge.
