Unless otherwise specified in this Article, development projects and developers thereof shall pay the interim development impact fees if the development project includes the new construction, significant demolition and redevelopment in relationship to the project site, or building additions of ten (10) percent or more of the on-site building footprint. (Ord. 19-1931, § 2)

At the time of approval or conditional approval of a development project, or within fifteen (15) days from the date of approval, the City shall give written notice to each developer of the interim development impact fees imposed, as well as a description of any dedication, reservation, or other exaction imposed on such development project as a condition of its approval. The notice shall also state that the developer may protest the imposition of any such fee, dedication, reservation, or other exaction and that the ninety (90) day approval period in which the developer may submit a protest has begun.
