A. The following rules shall govern the computation of the fee:

1. The reference in the schedule to square feet refers to the gross square footage of each floor of a building measured to the exterior walls, and not usable, interior, rentable, noncommon or other forms of net square footage.

2. When more than one land use type is proposed within the same structure (i.e., an office as part of an industrial complex), each land use type will be calculated separately and the total of the various uses will be assessed.

3. If the type of development activity for which a building permit is applied is not clearly specified on the current fee schedule as adopted by resolution, the administrator shall use the fee applicable to the most nearly comparable type of land use on the above referenced fee schedule. The administrator shall be guided in the selection of a comparable type by the report titled “Trip Generation: An Information Report,” Institute of Transportation Engineers (latest edition). If the administrator determines that there is no comparable type of land use on the above fee schedule, then the administrator shall determine the fee by:

a. Using traffic generation statistics from the above-named sources; and

b. Applying the formula set forth in subsection B of this section.

4. When a change of use, redevelopment or modification of an existing use requires the issuance of a building permit, the transportation impact fee shall be based upon the net increase in the impact fee for the new use as compared to the previous use. However, should the change of use, redevelopment or modification result in a net decrease, no refunds or credits for past transportation impact fees paid shall be made or credited. The administrator shall follow the same procedure to determine “increase” as is outlined above for a determination “increase” as is outlined above for a determination of “comparable use.”

B. The transportation impact fee for residential uses shall be as specified in the current resolution adopting the transportation impact fee schedule. The computation of nonresidential fee will utilize the following formula:

Transportation Impact Fee = ADT x Units x Fee per Unit where the ADT is Average Daily Traffic per one thousand square feet, acre or unit listed; “Units” is the land use rate (number of one thousand square feet, number of acres, number of units); and “Fee per Unit” is the established fee for each Unit proposed. The established “Fee per Unit” to be used in computing the required fee is specified in the current resolution adopting the transportation impact fee schedule.

C. Where there is any question regarding the land use and corresponding ADTs, the administrator shall make the determination regarding the appropriate ADT. (Ord. 4150 § 1, 2003; Ord. 3736 § 1, 1996; Ord. 3513 § 1, 1993; Ord. 3429 § 1, 1992)
