Imposition of fee

(a)

Except as may be provided section 13-58, no zoning permits, building permits or other development permits shall be issued for any net new development as defined in section 13-53 unless the applicant has paid the downtown development supplemental fee imposed by and calculated pursuant to this article.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any project that requires payment of downtown development supplemental fees prior to the issuance of a building permit, the director of the planning department may grant an extension of time, pursuant to a written request by an applicant, for such payment of fees from time of foundation permit to time of shell permit only, upon a finding that the time extension is warranted due to particular financing aspects of the proposed project. No building permit may be issued, however, until all fees required for the DRI are paid in full.

(c)

Payment of required downtown development supplemental fees from governmental agencies or authorities, that do not have to obtain building permits from the city, shall be due prior to commencement of construction of the proposed project.

(d)

Applicants with projects that qualify under section 13-8 are exempt from the imposition of payment of the proportionate share of the downtown development supplemental fee attributable only to the Downtown DRI master plan recovery fee and Downtown DRI administration fee. This exemption does not extend to the imposition of payment for the proportionate share of the transportation supplemental fee.
