Intent

(a)

This article is intended to impose the downtown development supplemental fee as a supplemental fee on new development within the downtown DRI project area, utilizing the defined terms in section 13-53. The downtown development supplemental fee comprises three components including a transportation mitigation fee, a DRI/master plan recovery fee and an administration fee. The downtown development supplemental fee is payable prior to the time of building permit issuance or upon application for certain permits, as provided for herein, in an amount based upon the appropriate units of land use, in order to mitigate the impacts of the proposed development in the project area, as set forth in Exhibit E of Ordinance No. 13704 since the demand for the mitigation is uniquely attributable to such net new development on an area-wide basis.

(b)

This article shall be uniformly applicable to all net new development within the project area. This fee shall not be applicable to any activity which is not classified as "net new development" as defined in section 13-53 or which has, on the effective date of the master and Increment I downtown DRI development orders, a valid building permit or currently effective DRI development order.
