The city shall determine a standard surface parking lot in lieu parking fee and a parking structure in lieu parking fee based on land and construction costs in the downtown revitalization district. Such fees shall be updated on a regular basis by the city and shall be made available to the public. On April 1st of any year in which the fees have not been recalculated, the fees shall be adjusted by the rate of increase in the ENR construction cost index for the prior year. 4. Any development for which an in lieu parking agreement is approved where the number of in lieu spaces is less than or equal to 30 percent of its parking requirement shall pay the standard surface parking lot in lieu fee for each deficient parking space. 5._Any development for which an in lieu parking agreement is approved where the number of in lieu parking spaces exceeds 30 percent of its parking requirement shall pay the parking structure in lieu parking fee for each deficient parking space. 6. In lieu parking agreements for which the requested number of in lieu parking spaces exceeds 50 percent of the required parking shall not be approved unless the city council finds that there are special circumstances related to: (1) constraints due to the size, configuration, or features of the site; or (2) constraints related to building placement or design; and (3) the availability of off-street parking. 7.In the event that a use for which an in lieu parking agreement has been executed is changed or facilities are altered to meet the parking standards prescribed in this chapter before the city has committed or expended any of the money received pursuant to said agreement in the area benefited, the amount received shall be refunded to the owner.
