Unless there has been assessed against a particular parcel of real property a reserve capacity charge or capacity development charge as part of the assessment under a city utility local improvement district, a capacity development charge shall be paid for every single-family residential and duplex structure, prior to the issuance of a building permit. Payment for the capacity development charge for all other structures shall be made prior to final public works approval and issuance of the certificate of occupancy. In no case shall any structure be occupied prior to payment of the capacity development charge. The capacity development charge shall be $4,718.88 for connections made during calendar year 2013, and shall be an amount equal to that set by the LOTT Alliance board of directors each year thereafter pursuant to the LOTT Alliance intergovernmental agreement. The capacity development charge for residential uses shall be computed on the basis of one ERU for single-family structures, including mobile homes, two ERUs for two-family structures and seven-tenths of an ERU for each living unit for those residential structures containing more than two living units. The capacity development charge for nonresidential structures shall be determined in accordance with an ERU value established by the joint sewerage facilities advisory committee. If the use of any structure changes, resulting in a significant increase of sewage discharge therefrom, there shall be a capacity development charge paid upon the first billing subsequent to the change for the increased monthly ERUs determined in accordance with an ERU value established by the advisory committee and at the rates set out in this section. Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, the provisions for payment of such capacity development sewer charges shall be consistent with the provisions of Chapter 13.02 LMC.
