a.

If the development impact fee is paid and the building permit is later canceled or voided, or if a use permit which triggers the application of the fee fails to vest within the term of the use permit, the Public Works Director shall, upon written request of the developer, order return of the fee and interest earned on it less administrative costs if (1) the fees paid have not been committed as determined by the Public Works Director and Finance Director; and (2) work on the private development project has not progressed to a point that would permit commencement of a new, changed or expanded use for which a fee would be payable.

b.

If the findings required by Government Code Section 66001(d) are not made, a refund to the then owner of the property for which the fee was paid shall be made pursuant to Government Code Section 66001.
