D. APPLICATION OF FEES <br />When development fees are collected at the time of building permit issuance, <br />the number of residential units or area of non - residential buildings will be <br />known. The fees for each development will simply be calculated by multiplying <br />the number of residential units or gross floor area of non- residential buildings <br />times the appropriate land use category and the fee zone. Gross floor area shall <br />be defined as total floor area including each floor of multiple story buildings <br />within the outer footprint of the building as described on the building permit. <br />Adjustments will not be made to traffic generation rates to reflect anomalies due <br />to project design or other conditions. All land uses will be determined to be <br />within the most appropriate of the three general land use categories. <br />In the event an existing non - residential building is proposed to be expanded, the <br />fee will be determined by the net increase of building area. If a non - residential <br />building is converted to another non - residential use with no net increase in <br />building area, no fees shall be required. Parking structures shall also be exempt <br />from payment of fees since they do not generate a vehicular attraction in and of <br />themselves. <br />The following categories which receive exemptions from payment of property <br />taxes will also be generally exempt from paying transportation corridor fees: <br />(1) Church; (2) Religious; (3) College; (4) Welfare; (5) Wholly Exempt; <br />(6) Other. The final determination of whether a property is exempt will be <br />based upon verification of a property tax exemption for those specified <br />categories on the latest Assessor's roll as define for Orange County by the State <br />of California. <br />Government -owned facilities or utilities shall be exempt from payment of fees <br />to the extent that the facilities will not be used for generating revenue or <br />commercial purposes. Examples of exempt public uses are city halls, park <br />buildings, and other public buildings. Privately owned utilities will not be <br />exempt from payment of corridor fees. <br />Notwithstanding property tax exemptions, governmental -owned or constructed <br />facilities (including but not limited to counties, cities and redevelopment <br />agencies) which will generate revenue or be leased for commercial purposes <br />shall pay fees in accordance with the established fee schedules. Examples of <br />this include the revenue generating portions of airports, train stations, stadiums, <br />sports arenas, convention centers, bus terminals, hotels, or concessions on <br />public lands. In the event construction of these facilities is an expansion of an <br />existing use, the fee shall be determined based upon the net increase of building <br />area. <br />223512_2.DOC 26 <br />
