The following fire impact fees are hereby charged to the applicant by the city and shall be due and payable at the time of issuance of a building permit for the construction of any structure to be used for a residential or nonresidential use in each district and shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule:

	Structure	As of 3/1/2015
(1)	Residential, per residential dwelling unit	$491.00
(2)	Nonresidential, per square foot	$0.85

 

(b)

The fees imposed for residential and nonresidential construction are a result of the city's fee calculation study, which is designed to ensure that the impact fees imposed are rationally related to the benefit received by the applicant.

(c)

In the event that an applicant believes the impact of the construction will be less than that set forth above, the applicant may, at his option, submit evidence to the city commission in support of an alternative assessment. Based upon convincing and competent evidence, the city commission may adjust the impact fee charged to the applicant as appropriate for the particular property.
