§ 9.75-46. Fee schedule.

(a)

Payment of a development impact fee pursuant to the fee schedule attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment A [City of Cartersville Maximum Allowable Impact Fee schedule can be found at the end of this chapter.] for a property located inside of Cartersville, shall constitute full and complete payment of the project's proportionate share of system improvements as individually levied by Cartersville, and shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

(b)

When a land development activity for which an application for a building permit has been made includes two (2) or more buildings, structures or other land uses in any combination, including two (2) or more uses within a building or structure, the total development impact fee shall be the sum of the fees for each and every building, structure, or use, including each and every use within a building or structure.

(c)

In the event that an applicant contends that the land use category of the proposed development is not shown on the fee schedule or fits within a different category, then:

(1)

The administrator in his or her sole discretion shall make a determination as to the appropriate land use designation and the appropriate development impact fee.

(2)

In making such determination, the administrator may require such additional information from the applicant as necessary to form a logical fee determination relative to the impact fees shown on the adopted fee schedule.

(3)

If a land use designation is not in a category contained in this chapter, then an appropriate new category may be added by the administrator and an appropriate fee established under the city's current impact fee methodology, subject to annual confirmation by the city council.

(4)

Appeals from the decision of the administrator shall be made to the city council in accordance with the administrative appeals section of this chapter.
