(a) Determination of Requirements. The Department shall determine the applicability of Section 433.2 et seq. to any development project requiring a first construction document and, if Section 433.2 et seq. is applicable, the Department shall determine the amount of the Central SoMa 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 Sections 433 et seq. , the Department shall notify the Development Fee Collection Unit at DBI of its final determination of the amount of the Central SoMa 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.

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 project complies with the requirements of Section 433 et seq. , either through conformance with the In-Kind Improvements Agreement or payment of the remainder of the Central SoMa 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.
