The City may expend these funds for any purposes designed to meet a discrete need of the property or a discrete need created by the development of the property.
B. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained within this Agreement, the Development Fees are being paid in lieu of any other impact fees, development fees or any other similar fees presently existing or adopted by the City at any time hereafter during the term of this Agreement; provided, however, the Owner and/or Developers shall be subject to the payment of any and all present or future permitting fees enacted by the City that are of City-wide application and that relate to processing applications, development permits, building permits, review of plans, or inspections (but no other capital improvement related impact, development or other extractions).
C. Except as set forth in this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as relieving Owner, Developers, or their successors and assigns, from payment of any such fees or charges as may be assessed by entities other than the City imposes, or is permitted by City to impose, fees or obligations similar in nature to the provisions of this paragraph shall not preclude the City or another governmental authority from imposing a fee of a nature which is not for services or improvements contemplated under this Agreement (i.e., police, fire, and other obligations contemplated under this Agreement or services and improvements contemplated by this Agreement), which are imposed on a consistent basis throughout the area regulated by such governmental authority imposing such obligations. The City or other governing body shall not be precluded by this Agreement from charging fees for delivery of services to citizens or residents (i.e., an EMS response fee or the like), nor from charging fees statutorily authorized in the future (i.e., a real estate transfer fee or the like) which are not collected as a prerequisite to approval of a plat, plan, or construction. The City shall, at Owner’s request, together with Owner, challenge any developer fee, impact fee or other obligation imposed by other governmental authorities to the extent that such fees or obligations are not specifically permitted to be imposed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The intent hereof is that the Owner shall not be charged in both jurisdictions for the same impact fee (development fee) categories, however, should a dispute arise as to whether Owner/Developer shall pay fees to the County or to the City, the Owner/Developer shall be responsible for settling such dispute with each party. The City shall not offset any development fee contained herein against such fees payable to Jasper County. The same principle shall apply regarding all applicable Development Fee categories hereunder. Owner and City Manager may meet and agree to resolve any issues that may arise in the future regarding the application of these principles to Development Fees due hereunder, and any such future agreement shall not be deemed a material amendment or breach hereof.
E. Any Development Fees paid and/or credits for Development Fees with respect to property conveyed, services performed and/or money paid as provided in this Agreement may be assigned by the Owner and/or Developer owning such credits and all such credits shall remain valid until utilized. The Owner and/or Developer shall provide written notice of transfer of such credits to the City. The City shall recognize all such written assignments of such rights and shall credit same against any Development Fees which are owned pursuant to this Agreement.
F. The Development Fees set forth in the Fee Chart are based upon 2022 figures. The Development Fee amounts shall be increased annually according to the Adjustment Factor.

H. If the Property contains more wetlands than are necessary to meet Developer’s requirements for open space or for wetlands mitigation on the Property, to the extent that there are excess wetlands available, if Owner, Developer or a Secondary Developer creates a mitigation bank with such excess wetlands and the City has a need for mitigation bank credits in connection with road improvements it is obligated to undertake, then the City may purchase such mitigation bank credits from Owner, Developer, or a Secondary Developer, as applicable. Such purchases shall be at the fair market value of such mitigation bank credits and shall be paid by the City in form of credit to Development Fees, cash, or in such other form as agreed upon by the parties.
I. Owner and/or Developer agrees to pay the actual costs and reasonable, actual expenses of the City’s consultants and professionals incurred in negotiating, processing and evaluating the Development Agreement and the PDD Standards.
