§ 98-510. Assessment of impact fees.

(a)

The approval of any subdivision of land for any new development shall include as a condition the assessment of the impact fees applicable to such development.

(b)

Assessment of the impact fees for any new development shall be made as follows:

(1)

For a new development which was final platted pursuant to the city's subdivision regulations prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 1482 on June 18, 1990, assessment shall be the maximum impact fee adopted in Ordinance No. 1482.

(2)

For a new development which was final platted pursuant to the city's subdivision regulations following the adoption of Ordinance No. 1482 on June 18, 1990, assessment shall be the maximum impact fee in effect at the time of final plat recordation.

(c)

Because fire protection is of critical concern to the community as a whole, water demand related solely to fire protection is not subject to assessment of an impact fee. However, if the fire protection capacity of the fire demand meter is routinely utilized for regular residential, commercial or industrial purposes as evidenced by the record of consumption recorded on the city's meter-reading and billing systems, the then current impact fee should be assessed and collected from the current owner of the property for routine usage as domestic capacity.

(d)

Following assessment of the impact fees pursuant to subsection (b) herein, no additional impact fees or increases thereof shall be assessed against that development unless the number of service units increases or the property is replatted.

(e)

In addition to the impact fees assessed in exhibit "C", the applicable Fort Worth access fee for water and sanitary sewer service shall be assessed as shown in exhibit "D" attached hereto.
