facilities and services attributable to new development; and

Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, the City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan, and other applicable law
authorizing a municipality to set rates, fees, and charges for new development; and

a determination is sought;
(2) Expenditures or obligations made or incurred in reliance upon the authorizing act that are
reasonably equivalent to the fees required by this division;
(3) That it would be inequitable to deny the petitioner the opportunity to complete the previously
approved development under the conditions of approval by requiring the developer to comply with
the requirements of this division.
(4)Common law principles of equitable estoppel and vested rights set forth in case law.
(b) For the purpose of this section, the following factors shall be considered in determining whether it
would be inequitable to deny the petitioner the opportunity to complete the previously approved
development:
(1) Whether the injury suffered by the petitioner outweighs the public cost of allowing the
development to go forward without payment of the fee required by this division;
(2) Whether the expense or obligations were made or incurred subsequent to
November 1, 2002, after which day the adoption of the impact fees required by this division was
pending; and
(3) Whether the operation of this division would create an inordinate burden which would
prevent petitioner from making a reasonable return on his investment.

successor may request a modification of such prior approvals in order to bring the approval conditions
into consistency with the requirements of this division.

city manager and submit such information and documentation with said application as may be required
by the city manager. The city manager shall make a determination as to the sufficiency ofthe application.
