or replacement o£a building or dwelling unit or the construction of an

building or dwelling or the construction of an accessory building results in
a land use determined to (i) increase the number of dwelling units; (ii)
increase the usable square footage (or other type of service unit measure);
(iii) change the land use so as to constitute a different impact fee land use
category; or (iv) increases the size of the utility meter(s). Such fees shall
be calculated as follows:
1. The impact fees shall be the amounts due under the applicable rate
for the land use or meter size category resulting from the alteration,
expansion, or replacement, less the impact fee that would be
imposed under the applicable impact fee rate for the land use or
meter size category prior to alteration, expansion, or replacement.
In determining the impact fee which would have been in place for
the land use category prior to alteration, expansion, or replacement,
the use of land during the previous three (3) years which provided
the highest impact upon the City's capital improvements shall be
utilized.
2. The transportation impact fee for any accessory building shall be
that applicable under the rate for the land use of the primary
structure.

2. The alteration or expansion of an accessory building or structure
which will not create additional dwelling units or will not increase
the usable square footage space (or other service unit measure)
associated with the principal building or of the land or will not
change the utility meter size.
3. The replacement of a dwelling unit or a building with a new
dwelling unit or building of the same size and use, and same utility
meter size, which will not increase the square footage associated
therewith; provided that the replacement of the dwelling unit or
building which has been destroyed, moved, or otherwise rendered
uninhabitable must be replaced within three (3) years of the date it
was destroyed, moved, or otherwise rendered uninhabitable in
order to be exempt from payment of impact fees.
Sec. 8-59. CREDITS
Pg. lI
A. Any construction of, contributions to, or dedications of any facility by the
owner of new development which appears on the capital improvements
plan which is required by the City to be constructed as a condition of
development shall be credited against the impact fees otherwise due for
the same category of impact fees other~vise due from the new
development.
B. The amount of each credit for required construction of a facility on the
capital improvements plan shall be calculated by multiplying the value of
the facility assessed for the capital improvements plan by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the impact fee per service unit due for the new
development (computed using the capital improvements plan and Section
8-64) and the denominator of which is the maximum impact fee per
service unit computed using the capital improvements plan.
C. As an alternative to the foregoing, the City and the owner may enter into
an agreement providing that in addition to the credit, the owner will be
reimbursed for all or a portion of the costs of such facilities from impact
fees as received from other new developments that will use such capital
