How Ewa highway impact fees are calculated and collected

Ewa highway master plan impact fees shall be based on the following factors. (a) Impact of new development. The measure of impact is the number of predicted vehicular trips generated by the new land development activity. The authority for the trip generation rates to be used in the calculation of vehicle trips is Table 33A-1.3 of § 33A-1.5 . (b) Assessment of cost. A schedule for determining Ewa highway master plan impact fees is established. The fee rates by land use type are shown in Table 33A-1.4 . Table 33A-1.4: Impact Fees by Land Use Category Land Use Impact Fee Amount Unit Table 33A-1.4: Impact Fees by Land Use Category Land Use Impact Fee Amount Unit Residential Single-family $1,836 Per dwelling unit Multi-family $1,245 Per dwelling unit Nonresidential Hotel $1,003 Per unit Timeshare $501 Per unit Retail $4,053 Per 1,000 square feet Office $3,403 Per 1,000 square feet Industrial/other $2,019 Per 1,000 square feet The department of planning and permitting shall compute and collect Ewa highway master plan impact fees from applicants before issuance of building permits. The director of planning and permitting shall establish by rule such procedures as may be necessary to carry out the department’s responsibilities under this section. (c) Interpretation of fee schedule. If the type of land use that is the subject of an application is in doubt, the applicant may request an interpretation from the department of planning and permitting as to the appropriate type of land development being undertaken and the applicable Ewa highway master plan impact fees that would be due. This interpretation may be appealed by following the procedures set out in § 33A-1.8 . (d) Expansion of a building or structure. In the event of an expansion of a building or structure, Ewa highway master plan impact fees due would be the net positive difference between the Ewa highway master plan impact fees that would be due for the expanded building or structure and that which would have been due for the original building if constructed currently. (e) Change of use. In the event of a change of use of a building or structure, Ewa highway master plan impact fees due would be the net positive difference between the Ewa highway master plan impact fees that would be due for the new use of the building or structure and that which would have been due for the original use if constructed currently. (f) Mixed use. When a single building or structure will contain more than one type of land use, the Ewa highway master plan impact fees due will be based on the amount of space devoted to each type. (g) Retail, office, and industrial/other impact fees. Impact fees for land uses that are listed in units of 1,000 square feet in Table 33A-1.4 shall be computed by dividing the per-1,000-square-foot amount of the land use impact fee by 1,000 and then multiplying this amount by the actual square footage of the land use. (h) Revisions to the Ewa highway master plan. The director of transportation services, in consultation with the director of planning and permitting and the State director of transportation, shall review the Ewa highway master plan once every five years in terms of land uses, densities, highway improvements, and changes in costs and make appropriate changes thereto. This review and revision shall include consultation and input from the Ewa region developers. The cost of this review may be funded out of the impact fees collected under this chapter. Based upon this review of the Ewa highway master plan, the directors may recommend to the council that the impact fee program contained in this chapter be modified by amending this chapter. As a matter of policy, the share of the costs attributable to new development for highway projects in the Ewa region and payable by impact fees shall remain in roughly the same proportion as the proportion set forth in this chapter. (i) Compliance with unilateral agreement conditions. The enactment of this chapter constitutes compliance with the various unilateral agreement conditional zoning conditions attached to project zoning conditions requiring participation in the implementation, funding, and construction of the six regional transportation projects contained in the Ewa highway master plan, or similar requirements to address regional transportation impacts in the Ewa area. Upon issuance of a building permit, the requirements for participation in the implementation, funding, and construction of the six regional transportation projects contained the Ewa highway master plan, or similar requirements to address regional transportation impacts in the Ewa area, shall be satisfied with respect to the development covered by that building permit. Any on-site or project-specific improvements, apart from those set forth in the Ewa highway master plan, remain subject to the requirements of the specific unilateral agreement conditions.
