§ 8.7-53. Imposition of correctional facilities impact fees.

A.

All correctional facilities impact construction occurring within the county, including both the unincorporated area and those areas within the boundaries of the cities, shall pay the correctional facilities impact fee, as established in this article prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such correctional facilities impact construction as provided in section 8.7-11, above.

B.

During the period which commenced on March 17, 2017, and ending on September 17, 2018, all correctional facilities impact construction occurring within the county shall pay the correctional facilities impact fee rates in the amounts established within the correctional facilities impact fee rate schedule—phase 2, as set forth on appendix C hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "correctional facilities phase 2 rates").

C.

Commencing on September 18, 2018, all correctional facilities impact construction occurring within the county shall pay the correctional facilities impact fee rates in the amounts established within the correctional facilities impact fee rate schedule—phase 3, as set forth on Attachment 3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "correctional facilities phase 3 rates").

D.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the correctional facilities phase 2 rates shall apply to all capital facilities impact construction for which a completed building permit application is submitted to either county or municipal building officials on or before September 17, 2018. Qualified capital facilities impact construction shall pay the correctional facilities phase 2 rates, and not the higher correctional facilities phase 3 rates, if a building permit is issued for such construction no later than six (6) months from submittal of a completed application for a building permit, and a certificate of occupancy is issued no later than twenty-four (24) months from issuance of the building permit. For non-residential construction projects, the county manager is authorized to grant a one-year extension of the deadline for obtaining a certificate of occupancy if the project otherwise meets the requirements imposed above. Any permitted construction project which would qualify for payment of the lower phase 2 rates pursuant to this section 8.7-53.D, but for which a building permit has not been issued within six (6) months from submitting a completed application and/or a certificate of occupancy has not been issued within twenty-four (24) months from the issuance of the building permit, and for which the county manager has not granted an extension, will be required to pay the correctional facilities phase 3 rates.
