(f)

Whenever the property owner proposes to increase the number of service units for a development, the additional impact fees collected for such new service units shall be determined by using schedule 2 (attached to the ordinance from which this article is derived and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth in this article, a copy of which is on file in the city secretary's office)then in effect, and such additional fee shall be collected at the times prescribed by this section.
