Such eligibility shall not extend to new building construction, nor to additions to existing buildings or the reconstruction of existing buildings. (c) Any resolution of the city council establishing an in- lieu parking fee district shall set forth the fee to be charged for each parking space for which an off-street parking credit shall be granted to an owner of eligible property within the district. Such resolution may also set forth such provisions as the council may determine appropriate for payment of the fee in installments over a period of years. The responsibility for such installment payments shall run with the ownership of the property. (d) Ail revenues received by the city from the payment of in- lieu parking fees from owners of property within an in-lieu parking district shall be maintained in an account separate and apart from other city funds. Moneys in such account may be expended solely for the purpose of providing additional public parking in the district.
