SEC. 423.4. IMPOSITION OF EASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT FEE. (a) Determination of Requirements. The Department shall determine the applicability of Section 423.1 et seq. to any development project requiring a first construction document and, if Section 423.1 et seq. is applicable, the amount of Eastern Neighborhoods Infrastructure Impact Fees required and shall impose these requirements as a condition of approval for issuance of the first construction document for the development project. The project sponsor shall supply any information necessary to assist the Department in this determination. (b) Department Notice to Development Fee Collection Unit at DBI. Prior to the issuance of a building or site permit for a development project subject to the requirements of Section 423.1 et seq., the Department shall notify the Development Fee Collection Unit at DBI of its final determination of the amount of Eastern Neighborhoods Infrastructure Impact Fees required, including any reductions calculated for an In-Kind Improvements Agreement, in addition to the other information required by Section 402(b) of this Article. (c) Development Fee Collection Unit Notice to Department Prior to Issuance of the First Certificate of Occupancy. The Development Fee Collection Unit at DBI shall provide notice in writing or electronically to the Department prior to issuing the first certificate of occupancy for any development project subject to Section 422.1 et seq. that has elected to fulfill all

or part of its Eastern Neighborhoods Impact Fee requirement with an In-Kind Improvements Agreement. If the Department notifies the Unit at such time that the sponsor has not satisfied any of the terms of the In-Kind Improvements Agreement, the Director of DBI shall deny any and all certificates of occupancy until the subject project is brought into compliance with the requirements of Section 422.1 et seq., either through conformance with the In-Kind Improvements Agreement or payment of the remainder of the Eastern Neighborhood Infrastructure Impact Fees that would otherwise have been required, plus a deferral surcharge as set forth in Section 107A.13.3.1 of the San Francisco Building Code. (d) Process for Revisions of Determination of Requirements. In the event that the Department or the Commission takes action affecting any development project subject to Section 422.1 et seq. and such action is subsequently modified, superseded, vacated, or reversed by the Department or the Commission, Board of Appeals, the Board of Supervisors, or by court action, the procedures of Section 402(c) of this Article shall be followed.
