The fees provided for in this Article are based on the city's Capital Improvement Expansion Cost Study, dated May 21, 1996,as amended;the city'sStreet Oversizing Impact Fee Study,dated July 15, 1997, and Street Oversizing Impact Fee Study Update, dated November 28, 2000, as amended; and The ITE Trip Generation Manual,6th Edition, 1997,published by the Institute of Traffic Engineers, as amended, which establish a fair and equitable allocation of costs and recognize past and future payments for new development, as well as credits for construction, dedication of land or cash contributions. Funds collected from said fees shall not be used to remedy existing deficiencies, but only to provide new capital improvements which are necessitated by new development. The amount of revenue generated by said fees shall not exceed the cost of providing the capital improvements for which they are imposed, and the same shall be expended solely to provide the specified capital improvements.
