Sewer capacity shall be guaranteed for a specified period of time for the chosen project(s). The developer(s) of project(s) selected by the city shall negotiate an agreement guaranteeing affordability of units to target groups, permit issuance date, construction commencement target, estimated develop- ment and sales schedule, and completion date with penalty schedule. -2-
