(A) Filing of Application. Petitions for exemptions to the application of the provisions of this chapter or waivers from specific development fees shall be filed with the city council through the office of the city clerk on forms provided by the city.

(B) Effect of Grant of Exemption/Waiver. If the city council grants an exemption or waiver in whole or in part of development fees otherwise due, the amount of the development fees exempted or waived shall be provided by the city from nondevelopment fee funds, as may be provided in the particular development fee ordinances establishing development fees for particular public facilities, and such funds shall be deposited to the appropriate development fee account within a reasonable period of time consistent with the applicable city capital improvements program.

(C) Development Agreements. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the city’s authority or ability to enter into development agreements pursuant to applicable state law with applicants for new development who may provide for dedication of land, payments in lieu of development fees, or actual infrastructure improvements. Such development agreements may allow offsets against development fees for contributions made or to be made in the future in cash, or by taxes or assessments or dedication of land or by actual construction of all or part of a public facility by the affected property owner.
