Intent

This article is intended to impose impact fees, payable at the time of building permit issuance, in order to fund capital improvements capital facility capacity, and capital equipment needed to address demand for public facilities attributable to new development. This article is not intended to authorize imposition of fees related to capital facility or equipment needs attributable to existing development. This article is intended to allow new development in compliance with the comprehensive plan and to provide a mechanism for new development to help address the burdens created by new development. It is the city commission's intent to suspend imposition of the street impact fee to provide for coordination with Miami-Dade County regarding transit-related transportation system improvements and the development of an appropriate city transportation/transit impact fee.
