Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) performed a field investigation of
Meridian Drive between Southern Avenue and McDowell Road, and identified this road

The total project cost is currently estimated to be $667,349. The county and the city will each
be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the cost. The County will act as lead agency for all
aspects of the project, including design and construction. The city will be invoiced one-half of
the city's estimated cost contribution not before July 1, 2015 and invoice the City for the
remaining balance not before July 1, 2016. The city does have the option to pay before the
end of the current fiscal year.
MCDOT and city staff developed the enclosed IGA for city council's consideration. This
agreement will allow the city to participate in pavement improvements along a major road
corridor along the west boundary of the city with the assistance of MCDOT funds.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
10. By entering into this Agreement, the Parties agree that to the extent permitted by law,
each Party will indemnify, defend and save the other Parties harmless, including any of
the Parties' departments, agencies, officers, employees, elected officials or agents, from
and against all loss, expense, damage or claim of any nature whatsoever which is
caused by any activity, condition or event arising out of the negligent performance or
nonperformance by the indemnifying Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
By entering into this Agreement, each Party indemnifies the other against all liability,
losses and damages of any nature for or on account of any injuries or death of persons
or damages to or destruction of property arising out of or in any way connected with the
performance or nonperformance of this Agreement, except such injury or damage as
shall have been caused or contributed to by the negligence of that other Party. The
damages which are the subject of this indemnity shall include but not be limited to the
damages incurred by any Party, its departments, agencies, officers, employees, elected
officials or agents. In the event of an action, the damages which are the subject of this
indemnity shall include costs, expenses of litigation and reasonable attorney's fees.
11 . City and County each believe that the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement are in compliance with all applicable laws. However, in the unlikely event that
any provision of this Agreement is declared void or unenforceable (or is construed as
requiring City or County to do any act in violation of any applicable laws, including any
constitutional provision, law, regulation, or City Code or County Ordinance), such
provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and this Agreement shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect; provided that this Agreement shall retroactively
be deemed reformed to the extent reasonably possible in such a manner so that the
reformed agreement (and any related agreements effective as of the same date) provide
essentially the same rights and benefits (economic and otherwise) to the Parties as if
such severance and reformation were not required. Unless prohibited by applicable
laws, the Parties further shall perform all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or deliver
all amendments, instruments and consents necessary to accomplish and to give effect
to the purposes of this Agreement, as reformed.

12. Neither City nor County, as the case may be, shall be considered not to have performed
its obligations under this Agreement in the event of enforced delay (an "Enforced Delay")
due to causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence or failure to comply
with applicable laws, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, fires, floods, epidemics,
pandemics, quarantine, restrictions, embargoes, labor disputes, and unusually severe
weather or the delays of consultants or materialmen due to such causes, acts of a public
enemy, war, terrorism or act of terror (including but not limited to bio-terrorism or eco-
terrorism), nuclear radiation, blockade, insurrection, riot, labor strike or interruption,
extortion, sabotage, or similar occurrence or any exercise of the power of eminent
domain of any governmental body on behalf of any public entity, or a declaration of
moratorium or similar hiatus (whether permanent or temporary) by any public entity
directly affecting the Project. In no event will Enforced Delay include any delay resulting
from unavailability for any reason of labor shortages, or the unavailability for any reason
of particular consultants, subconsultants, vendors or investors desired by County in
connection with the Project. In the event of the occurrence of any such Enforced Delay,
the time or times for performance of the obligations of the Party claiming delay shall be
extended for a period of the Enforced Delay; provided, however, that the Party seeking
the benefit of the provisions of this Section shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after
such Party knows or should know of any such Enforced Delay, first notify the other Party
of the specific delay in writing and claim the right to an extension for the period of the
Enforced Delay; and provided further that in no event shall a period of Enforced Delay
exceed ninety (90) calendar days.
13. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date it is approved by the Maricopa
County Board of Supervisors and the Mayor and City Council of the City of Apache

performed by that Party ("Defaulting Party"), where such failure shall continue for a
period of thirty (30) days after the Defaulting Party receives written notice of such failure
from the non-defaulting party provided, however, that such failure shall not be a Default

period and thereafter is diligently pursuing such cure to completion, but the total
aggregate cure period shall not exceed ninety (90) days unless the Parties agree in
writing that additional time is reasonably necessary under such circumstances to cure
such default. In the event a Defaulting Party fails to perform any of its material
obligations under this Agreement and is in Default pursuant to this Section, the non-
defaulting party, at its option, may terminate this Agreement. Further, upon the
occurrence of any Default and at any time thereafter, the non-defaulting party may, but

Presentation and discussion on request for qualifications for Retail Expansion, Recruitment,

Staff will present the plan to release a Request for Qualifications for Retail Expansion,
Recruitment, and Visitor Impact Analysis. Procurement of such professional services to
conduct this analysis will assist the city in growing our commercial/retail sales segment as a
key priority for the downtown and our community. While this item is already approved in the
Economic Development FY 13/14 budget, staff will seek formal Direction to Staff at council's

MEMORANDUM TO: George Hoffman, City Manager
MEMORANDUM THROUGH: Bryant Powell, Assistant City Manager
Matt Busby, Assistant to the City Manager
MEMORANDUM FROM: Janine Solley, Principal Economic Development Specialist
SUBJECT: Retail Recruitment, Demographics, Visitor Impact
Consultant
Continuing to grow our commercial/retail sales segment is a key priority for our downtown and
our community. It directly impacts our citizens' quality of life by offering them more "local" retail
and service shopping/buying opportunities. Likewise, this market segment provides vital
revenue to City government to provide basic services to our residents.
By developing a proposal for retail recruitment services, staff is seeking to tap into additional
sources of data not otherwise available to our internal retail marketing efforts. An initial step is
to work with a consultant that can effectively quantify the "retail leakage" of goods and services
across multiple product and service sectors. These would include categories of items that are
not available for purchase here, or are available in such limited selection that local shoppers
choose to make those purchases outside Apache Junction.
From this analysis, staff would then seek to work with the consultant to implement an
aggressive recruitment program that identifies key sites and matches them with retailers whose
profile best fits our needs. We anticipate the consultant will work closely with us on developing
targeted marketing materials and assist us in our retail recruitment program.
The consultant would have a highly respected regional or national reputation for success in
working with client communities and retail/service prospects. This particular point is critical in
establishing the credibility of our market data as we jointly approach the retail service providers
that are targeted for recruitment to our city.
We also believe this effort will have significant interest within our local business community. In
addition to having detailed data that may help with product and service expansion choices, it
can be a great tool for developers and commercial real estate brokers as well. This type of data
can help them more effectively attract retail service providers to available properties or sites
within our city.
When selecting the consultant, in addition to staff, we anticipate some members of the business
community participating in the screening process of consultants selected for interviews and
ultimately making the recommendation to Council for these professional services.
An additional component of these retail recruitment services will be to gather data on the winter
visitor impact in and around Apache Junction. We've long made assumptions about how many
people visit the area, where they come from, how long they stay, etc., so insight into this type of
information would be helpful in determining if or how we should implement a tourism marketing
strategy.
In addition, the timeliness of this data could provide an opportunity to introduce our community
to the retailers who gather for the western or national retail trade show events hosted by ICSC
(International Council of Shopping Centers). The data will help tell the story to retailers and give
them a glimpse into the makeup of our community and the types of opportunities that exist.
Our intention will be to also share all of the data and information with the community. We will
post the results to our website for easy access and display in such a way that potential new
business can easily research expansion opportunities in Apache Junction.
You may recall the first time a retail data collection analysis of this scope was issued was in
2007 with a complete report delivered in summer 2008. In spring of 2012 a very abbreviated
update to some of the basic demographics was completed to refresh some basic elements.
Seven years ago when the initial analysis was completed, the consultation fee was $48,000.
The 2012 update was $5,000. It is anticipated that a complete analysis with the addition of a
winter visitor impact component will run between $50,000 — $65,000.
This is an approved budgeted item in the Economic Development budget for FY 13/14. 1 will
present to council on March 31 st for their Work Session and seek Direction to Staff at their April
1st meeting.

RE: Work Session on Zoning Code Update
The city council is scheduled to have their second zoning code work session on March 315t. In
the first work session, we discussed Articles 1-1 to 1-5. The second work session will cover
Article 1-6 (Supplemental Regulations) and, time permitting, Article 1-7 (Parking, Loading and
Circulation Regulations). The following highlights key portions of Article 1-6:
Section 1-6-3: Fences and Walls. The proposed code now includes a new requirement
prohibiting razor/concertina wire on non-residential buildings in Section 1-6-3 (H)(2)(b). Other
than that, there are no substantive changes from current regulations.
Section 1-6-5: Accessory Structures. There are no substantive changes from current
regulations. We have retained the option to request a conditional use permit exception or
deviation from the requirements.
Section 1-6-6: Home Based Occupations. The proposed code now allows limited customer
traffic (i.e., 10 vehicle trips/day) to the residence. Additionally, the amended regulations no
longer attempt to list the types of uses allowed/prohibited, but rather, creates a performance
standard that the indoor use shall not produce a noise, odor, vibration, glare or light impact
that is noticeable beyond the property line.
Section 1-6-7: Equestrian Activities. There are no changes from current regulations. Hurrah!
Section 1-6-8: Cargo Containers. There are no changes from current regulations except that we
added the use of temporary cargo containers for construction projects in all residential districts,
not just large lot districts.
Section 1-6-9: Outside Display and Activities. The proposed code now includes the option of
outdoor commercial display of product samples for all business districts, not just businesses
within the downtown area. We also added a requirement that prohibits outside fabrication,
processing, manufacturing, repair or assembly of products in non-residential districts unless
approved by a CUP.
Section 1-6-12: Medical Marijuana. There are no changes from current regulations.
Section 1-6-16: Alternate Energy Structures and Equipment. The proposed code now includes
regulations regarding evolving alternate energy technologies.
Section 1-6-17: Animal Regulations. The proposed code clarifies that the use of large livestock
is unconditionally allowed in the RS-GR district and conditionally allowed in the RS-54 and RS-
54M districts. Furthermore, the proposed code will now allow the use of 2 small livestock and 6
foul (no roosters) in all the other residential districts.
Section 1-6-19: Accessory Dwelling Units. The proposed code retains the option for a guest
home, but now allows it as either an unattached or attached unit. The prohibition on rental still
applies.
Section 1-6-20: Personal Caretaker Units. There are no changes from current regulations.
Section 1-6-23: Temporary Uses and Structures. The proposed code expands the administrative
approval of certain temporary uses (i.e., see list in Table 6-3) to all business zoned property
throughout the city, not just property within the downtown area. Temporary uses not on the
list will continue to require conditional use permit approval.
Section 1-6-26: Ancillary Manufacturing Uses. The proposed code now includes ancillary
manufacturing as a subordinate indoor use within commercial zoning districts (i.e., the B-1, B-2
and B-3 districts). This change has been made due to the changes in our business environment
that oftentimes require a mix of retail and manufacturing activities in one building.

RE: Work Session on Development Fee Update
The council is scheduled to discuss the following two items:
1. Proposed Development Fees. The Development Fee Study recently approved by the
council includes the maximum development fees that the city could legally assess.
Exhibit A compares the existing fees with the proposed fees. We ask that council
members review and discuss these proposed fees in anticipation of the April 15t" public
hearing.
2. Proposed Update to the Development Fee Ordinance. In addition to the updated
development study and fees, the city is also updating our development fee ordinance
(i.e., Chapter 7 of the Land Development Code). The updated ordinance is based on the
League of Arizona Cities and Towns model ordinance. A copy of the draft code update is
included in your materials and will be presented for discussion at the meeting.

existing Service Units. If the Infrastructure Improvements Plan includes changes or
upgrades to existing Capital Facilities that will be needed to achieve or maintain the
planned Level of Service to existing Service Units, or to meet new regulatory requirements
for services provided to existing Service Units, such costs shall be identified and
distinguished in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan.
(12) Forecast the revenues from taxes,fees, assessments or other sources that will be available
to fund the new or expanded Capital Facilities identified in the Infrastructure
Improvements Plan, which shall include estimated state-shared revenue, highway users
revenue, federal revenue, ad valorem property taxes, construction contracting or similar
excise taxes and the capital recovery portion of utility fees attributable to development
based on the approved land use assumptions. The Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall
additionally estimate the time required to finance, construct and implement the new or
expanded Capital Facilities.
(13) Calculate required Offsets as follows:
(a) From the forecasted revenues in Subsection (12) of this Section, identify those sources
of revenue that: (i) are attributable to new development, and (ii) will contribute to
paying for the capital costs of Necessary Public Services.
(b) For each source and amount of revenue identified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Subsection, calculate the relative contribution of each Category of Development to
paying for the capital costs of Necessary Public Services in each Service Area.
(c) Based on the relative contributions identified pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Subsection, for each Category of Necessary Public Services, calculate the total Offset
to be provided to each Category of Development in each Service Area.
(d) For each Category of Necessary Public Services, convert the total Offset to be
provided to each Category of Development in each Service Area into an offset amount
13
DRAFT-Development Impact Fee Ordinance
City of Apache Junction,Arizona
per Service Unit by dividing the total Offset for each Category of Development by the
number of Service Units associated with that Category of Development.
(e) Beginning August 1, 2014, for purposes of calculating the required Offset, if the City
imposes a construction, contracting, or similar excise tax rate in excess of the
percentage amount of the transaction privilege tax rate that is imposed on the
majority of other transaction privilege tax classifications in the City, the entire excess
portion of the construction, contracting, or similar excise tax shall be treated as a
contribution to the capital costs of Necessary Public Services provided to new
development unless the excess portion is already utilized for such purpose pursuant
to this Section.
(f) In determining the amount of required Offset for land included in a community
facilities district established under A.R.S. Title 48, Chapter 4, Article 6, the City shall
take into account any Capital Facilities provided by the district that are included in the
Infrastructure Improvements Plan and the capital costs paid by the district for such
Capital Facilities, and shall offset impact fees assessed within the community facilities
district proportionally.
(14) Calculate the Cost per Service Unit by:
(a) Multiply the level of service by the total protected costs to provide Capital Facilities to
new Service Units for each Category of Necessary Public Services in each Service Area
as determined pursuant to Subsection (9) of this Section, considering the specific
Service Unit factor(s) associated with such Service Units for each Category of
Necessary Public Services.
(b) Subtracting the required Offset per Service Unit calculated pursuant to Subsection
(11) of this Section.
(B) Multiple Plans. An Infrastructure Improvements Plan adopted pursuant to this Subsection may
address one or more of the City's Categories of Necessary Public Services in any or all of the
City's Service Areas. Each Capital Facility shall be subject to no more than one Infrastructure
Improvements Plan at any given time.
(C) Reserved Capacity. The City may reserve capacity in an Infrastructure Improvements Plan to
serve one or more planned future developments, including capacity reserved through a
Development Agreement pursuant to Section 7-1-17 of this Chapter. All reservations of existing
capacity must be disclosed in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan at the time it is adopted.

§7-ARTICLE 7-1-12 TIMING FOR THE RENEWAL AND UPDATING OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENTS PLAN AND THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS.
(A) Not less often than every 3 years, the Planning and Zoning Commission, following a public
hearing, shall review and, if warranted, recommend changes in the schedules of development
fees. Factors to be considered may include, without limitation, past and projected growth in
residential and nonresidential development, qualifying improvements actually constructed,
changing levels of service, revised cost estimates for qualifying improvements, changes in the
availability of other funding sources, changes in demand generation characteristics, sources of
non-city funds and such other factors as may be relevant.
(B) On January 1, following each calendar year during which the development fee schedules have
not been updated to reflect changes in construction costs, the Development Fee Administrator
shall prepare updated development fee schedules to reflect changes in average construction
costs as provided herein. The Development Fee Administrator shall also calculate updated net
costs per service unit to be used in individual development fee calculations using the same
procedure. The proposed revisions shall then be presented to the Mayor and City Council for
action.
(1) The fees in the development fee schedules and the net costs per service unit shall be
multiplied by the following construction cost factor.
(2) The construction cost factor shall be the ratio of the most current quarterly national
Construction Cost Index (CCI) published by Engineering New-Record magazine, divided by
the CCI for the same quarter of the previous year. In the event that the CCI ceases to be
published, the Construction Cost Factor shall be calculated in a comparable manner using
the national Consumer Price Index, and All Urban Consumers published by the U.S. Census
Bureau.
(C) Determination of No Changes. Notwithstanding Subsection A of this Section, if the City
determines that no changes to an Infrastructure Improvements Plan, underlying Land Use
Assumptions, or Fee Report are needed, the City may elect to continue the existing

§7-ARTICLE 7-1-13 COLLECTION OF DEVELOPMENT FEES.
(A) Collection. Development impact fees,together with administrative charges assessed pursuant to
Paragraph (A)(5) of this Section, shall be calculated and collected prior to issuance of permission
to commence development; specifically:
(1) Except as set forth in division (2) below, the development fees for all new development shall
be calculated and collected in conjunction with the application for the first building permit
or electrical permit, certificate of compliance or occupancy, or other permit subsequent to
development plan approval for such development, whichever occurs first in time. However,
in no case shall the Development Fee Administrator allow prepayment of development fees
in order to avoid higher fees which the Council has passed but have yet to go into affect. At
the time the development fees are paid in full, permit shall be issued.
(2) For other uses not ultimately requiring a building permit, electrical permit, certificate of
compliance or occupancy, or other permit, the fee shall be calculated and collected at such
time as determined by the Development Fee Administrator. However, in no case shall the
Development Fee Administrator allow prepayment of development fees in order to avoid
higher fees which the Council has passed but have yet to go into affect. At the time the
development fees are paid in full, a permit shall be issued.
(3) No building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued if a development impact fee is
not paid as directed in the previous paragraphs.
(4) If the building permit is for a change in the type of building use, an increase in square
footage, or a change to land use, the development impact fee shall be assessed on the
additional Service Units resulting from the expansion or change, and following the
development impact fee schedule applicable to any new use type.
(5) For issued permits that expire or are voided, development impact fees and administrative
charges shall be as follows:
(a) If the original permittee is seeking to renew an expired or voided permit, and the
development impact fees paid for such development have not been refunded, then the
permittee shall pay the difference between any development impact fees paid at the
time the permit was issued and those in the fee schedule at the time the permit is
reissued or renewed.
(b) If a new or renewed permit for the same development is being sought by someone
other than the original permittee, the new permit Applicant shall pay the full
development impact fees specified in the fee schedule in effect at the time that the
permits are reissued or renewed. If the original permittee has assigned its rights under
the permits to the new permit Applicant, the new permit Applicant shall pay
development impact fees as if it were the original permittee.
(B) Exceptions. Development impact fees shall not be owed under either of the following
conditions:
(1) Development impact fees have been paid for the development and the permit(s) which
triggered the collection of the development impact fees have not expired or been voided.
17
DRAFT-Development Impact Fee Ordinance
City of Apache Junction,Arizona
(2) The approval(s) that trigger the collection of development impact fees involve modifications
to existing residential or non-residential development that do not: (a) add new Service
Units, (b) increase the impact of existing Service Units on existing or future Capital Facilities,
or (c) change the land-use type of the existing development to a different category of
development for which a higher development impact fee would have been due. To the
extent that any modification does not meet the requirements of this paragraph, the
development impact fee due shall be the difference between the development impact fee
that was or would have been due on the existing development and the development impact
fee that is due on the development as modified.
(C) Temporary Exemptions from Development Impact Fee Schedules. New developments in the City
shall be temporarily exempt from increases in development impact fees that result from the
adoption of new or modified development impact fee schedules as follows:
(1) Residential Uses. On or after the day that the first building permit is issued for a single unit
residential development, the City shall, at the permittee's request, provide the permittee
with an applicable development impact fee schedule that shall be in force for a period of 24
months beginning on the day that the first building permit is issued, and which shall expire
at the end of the first business day of the 25t" month thereafter. During the effective period
of the applicable development impact fee schedule, any building permit issued for the same
single-family residential development shall not be subject to any new or modified
development impact fee schedule.
(2) Commercial, Office, Industrial and 2+ Unit dwelling unit structures. On or after the day that
the final approval, as defined in A.R.S. § 9-463.05(T)(4), is issued for a commercial, office,
industrial or 2+ Unit development, the City shall provide an applicable development impact
fee schedule that shall be in force for a period of 24 months beginning on the day that final
development approval of a site plan or final subdivision plat is given, and which shall expire
at the end of the first business day of the 251"month thereafter. During the effective period
of the applicable development impact fee schedule, any building permit issued for the same
development shall not be subject to any new or modified development impact fee schedule.
(3) Other Development. Any Category of Development not covered under paragraphs 1 and 2 of
this Subsection shall pay development impact fees according to the fee schedule that is
current at the time of collection as specified in Subsection (A) of this Section.
(4) Changes to Site Plans and Subdivision Plats. Notwithstanding the other requirements of this
Subsection, if changes are made to a development's final site plan or subdivision plat that
will increase the number of service units after the issuance of a grandfathered development
impact fee schedule, the City may assess any new or modified development impact fees
against the additional service units. If the City reduces the amount of an applicable
development impact fee during the period that a grandfathered development impact fee
schedule is in force,the City shall assess the lower development impact fee.
(D) Option to Pursue Special Fee Determination. Where a development is of a type that does not
closely fit within a particular Category of Development appearing on an adopted development
impact fee schedule, or where a development has unique characteristics such that the actual
burdens and costs associated with providing Necessary Public Services to that development will
differ substantially from that associated with other developments in a specified Category of
18
DRAFT-Development Impact Fee Ordinance
City of Apache Junction,Arizona
Development, the City may require the Applicant to provide the City Development Fee
Administrator or authorized designee with an alternative development impact fee analysis.
Based on a projection of the actual burdens and costs that will be associated with the
development,the alternative development impact fee analysis may propose a unique fee for the
development based on the application of an appropriate Service Unit factor to the applicable
Cost per Service Unit, or may propose that the development be covered under the development
impact fee schedule governing a different and more analogous Category of Development. The
City Development Fee Administrator or authorized designee shall review the alternative impact
fee analysis and shall make a determination as to the development impact fee to be charged.
Such decision shall be appealable pursuant to Section 7-1-18 of this Chapter. The City
Development Fee Administrator or authorized designee may require the Applicant to pay an
administrative fee to cover the actual costs of reviewing the special fee determination
application.
§7-ARTICLE 7-1-14 EXPENDITURE OF DEVELOPMENT FEES.
(A) Development fees may only be spent on qualifying improvements, as follows:

§7-ARTICLE 7-1-15 OFFSETS OF DEVELOPMENT FEES.
Offsets, which are reductions from the development fee that would otherwise be due from a
development, shall be subject to the following provisions:
(A) An offset shall be applied against development fees otherwise due for qualifying improvements,
as defined in Section 7-1-20, that are required to be made by a developer as a condition of
development approval.
(B) Offsets shall be allowable and payable only to offset development fees otherwise due for the
same category or improvements and shall not result in reimbursement from nor constitute a
liability of the City.
(C) Offsets shall be given only for the value of any construction of improvements or contribution or
dedication of land or money by a developer or his or her predecessor in title or interest for
qualifying improvements of the same category for which a development fee was imposed.
Offsets shall not be provided against Street Facilities development fees for dedication of rights-
of-way since land costs were not included in the development fee calculations.
(D) The person applying for an offset shall be responsible for providing appraisals of land and
improvements, construction cost figures, and documentation of all contributions and
19
DRAFT-Development Impact Fee Ordinance
City of Apache Junction,Arizona
dedications necessary to the computation of the offsets claimed. The Development Fee
Administrator shall prepare an analysis and response to the offset claim and submit both to the
applicant. The Development Fee Administrator shall have the final decision with regard to
approval or denial of an offset claim, subject to appeal to the City Council as set forth in Section
7-1-18 below. Approvals may be all or in part.
(E) The value of land dedicated or donated shall be based on the appraised land value of the parent
parcel. A land value is based on the date of transfer of ownership to the City. A certified
appraiser who was selected and paid for by the applicant and who used generally accepted
appraisal techniques shall determine the value. If the City disagrees with the appraised value,
the City may hire another appraiser at the City 's expense and the value shall be an amount
equal to the average of the 2 appraisals. If either party rejects the average of the 2 appraisals, a
third appraisal shall be obtained, with the cost of the third appraisal being shared equally by the
property owner and the City. The third appraiser shall be selected by the first 2 appraisers, and
the third appraisal shall be binding on both parties.
(F) Offsets provided for qualifying improvements meeting the requirements of this subchapter shall
be valid from the date of approval until 7 years after the date of approval or until the last date
of construction within the project, whichever occurs first.
(G) The right to claim offsets shall run with the land and may be claimed only by owners of property
within the development for which the qualifying improvement was required.
(H) Any claim for offsets must be made in writing no later than the time of submittal of a building
permit application or application for another permit that is subject to development fees. Any
claim not so made shall be deemed waived.

adopted Infrastructure Improvements Plan and Fee Report as a Capital Facility for which
a development impact fee was assessed; or
(b) The Applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that, given the class and
type of improvement, the subject Capital Facility should have been included in the
Infrastructure Improvements Plan in lieu of a different Capital Facility that was included
in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan and for which a development impact fee was
assessed. If the subject Capital Facility is determined to be eligible for a Credit in this
manner, the City shall amend the Infrastructure Improvements Plan to (i) include the
subject replacement Facility and (ii) delete the Capital Facility that will be replaced.
(2) Credits shall not be available for any infrastructure provided by a developer if the cost of
such infrastructure will be repaid to the developer by the City through another agreement

(3) If a building permit is issued, and a development impact fee is paid prior to execution of a
Credit Agreement for the Subject Development, no Credits may be allocated retroactively to
that permit or connection. Credits may be allocated to any remaining permits for the
Subject Development in accordance with this Chapter.
(4) If the entity that provides an eligible Capital Facility sells or relinquishes a development (or
portion thereof) that it owns or controls prior to execution of a Credit Agreement or
Development Agreement, Credits resulting from the eligible Capital Facility will only be
