At the end of each calendar year, the impact fee administrator shall prepare an adjusted fee schedule, which will be posted on the County's website and be made publicly available. The adjusted fee schedule will go into effect on January 1 of the following year. (c) The adjustment factor shall be the ratio of the appropriate cost index for the quarter during which the adjustment is made (even if projected) to the same cost index for the quarter during which the fees were last adopted, updated or adjusted. The appropriate cost indices shall be as follows from the most recent edition of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Civil Works Construction Cost Index System, utilizing the Hawaii adjustment factors: (1) For road impact fees, the roads, railroads and bridges index; (2) For parks and recreation impact fees, the recreation facilities index; and (3) For fire /EMS, police, solid waste, and wastewater impact fees, the buildings, grounds and utilities index. In the event that the referenced cost indices are not available, the updates shall be based on reasonable alternative indices as determined by the impact fee administrator. (d) Impact fees due and payable shall be net of any approved offsets available pursuant to section 36 -17, post- ordinance credits, and section 36 -18, pre- ordinance offsets. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to claim offsets prior to payment of impact fees. Any offsets not claimed shall be deemed waived. (e) If the type of impact - generating development is not specified on the above schedule, the impact fee administrator shall determine the fee on the basis of the fee applicable to the most nearly comparable type of land use on the fee schedule. In the case of road impact fees, the impact fee administrator shall be guided in the selection of a comparable type of land use by trip generation rates contained in the most current edition of the report titled "Trip Generation," prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), or articles or reports appearing in the ITE Journal. (f) In general, impact fees shall be assessed based on the principal use of a building or lot. For example, a warehouse that contained a small administrative office would be assessed at the warehouse rate for all of the square footage. Shopping centers are assessed at the retail /commercial rate, regardless of the type of tenants. For a true mixed -use development, such as one that includes both residential and nonresidential development,
