A. The city shall collect impact fees based on the adopted city impact fee schedule or an independent fee calculation as provided for in LMC 14.25.070 and the applicable interlocal agreement pursuant to LMC 14.25.120, from any applicant seeking development approval from the city for development activity within the city limits of Lacey, where such development activity requires the issuance of a building or occupancy permit for new residential development. This shall include the expansion of existing structures that increase the number of dwelling units.

B. For mixed-use developments, impact fees shall be imposed for the proportionate share of the residential land use, based on impact fee rates in the city impact fee schedule.

C. Impact fees shall be assessed at the time the complete building permit application is submitted for each unit in the development, using either the impact fee schedules in effect or an independent fee calculation, at the election of the applicant and pursuant to the requirements set forth in LMC 14.25.060. The city shall not accept an application for a building permit if short plat, final plat, binding site plan, site plan review or planned community approval is needed and has not yet been granted by the city. Furthermore, the city shall not accept an application for a building permit unless prior to submittal or concurrent with submittal, the feepayer submits complete applications for all other discretionary reviews needed.

D. Applicants that have been awarded credits prior to the submittal of the completed building permit application pursuant to LMC 14.25.090, shall submit, along with the complete building permit application, a copy of the letter or certificate prepared by the director pursuant to LMC 14.25.090 setting forth the dollar amount of the credit awarded.

E. A feepayer may identify in the application information regarding fees that the feepayer has paid or will be required to pay under the State Environmental Policy Act (Chapter 43.21 RCW), or that are being assessed upon the feepayer by other municipalities, in either case which the feepayer believes would duplicate the impact fee. The director will respond to the information in writing, determining whether collection of the impact fee under the circumstances would be lawful under RCW 82.02.100 or other applicable law, and the determination may be appealed through procedures provided under this title.

F. Impact fees, as determined after the application of appropriate credits, shall be collected from the feepayer prior to the time the building permit is issued for each unit in the development, unless payment of fees is deferred pursuant to LMC 14.25.140. (Ord. 1507 §7 (part), 2017).
