of the City of
Section 1.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED AND ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF
ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF FREDERICK that the Code of the City of Frederick, 1966,
as amended, Chapter 11, entitled “Fees”, Section 11-1, entitled "Water and
sewer impact fees", subsection (i), entitled "Impact fee
schedule", be amended as follows:
(i) Impact fee schedule. The initial
computation of the impact fee will be based on plumbing plans and riser
diagrams using the fixture unit chart and the impact fee adjustment factors,
set forth below. These charges are payable prior to the issuance of a permit.
Prior to the approval of a use and occupancy permit, a field inspection will
verify actual installation and the impact fees will be adjusted if changes from
the plans occurred. The applicant shall be responsible for payment of
additional impact fees when a site visit reveals fixtures installed above those
previously approved and paid for.
On any single parcel of land
classified as commercial and having multiple buildings with multiple dwelling
units within one building, the first residential dwelling unit will be billed
for sewer and water charges at the prevailing residential rate and any
additional dwelling units will be billed at the prevailing commercial rate.
