Any impact fees <br /> charged for an accessory dwelling unit of 750 square feet or more shall be charged <br /> proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. <br /> (B) For purposes of this paragraph, "impact fee" has the same meaning as the term"fee" is <br /> defined in subdivision(b) of Section 66000, except that it also includes fees specified in Section <br /> 66477.
