Payment The development charges imposed by this By-law shall be calculated and payable in money or by the provision of services as may be agreed upon, or by credit granted by the Municipality under the provisions of the Act, on the date that a building permit is issued, or in the case of a Subdivision Agreement upon the execution of a Subdivision Agreement or otherwise provided for in a related agreement under the Act. Credits When land is being redeveloped on a site which involves the demolition where a building or structure within the 48 months proceeding the date the building permit was issued, a credit will be provided against the development charge payable so that only the net increase in dwelling units or non-residential gross floor area is charged. When a redevelopment involves the conversion of an existing building from one category to another, a credit is given for the estimated impact of the previous use to a maximum equivalent to the total development charges which would otherwise be payable for the new use.
