Impact reductions granted under this <br />methodology document may be used i!n subsequent phases of a development when the <br />applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that the program or <br />improvements continue to provide the anticipated reduction in demand, and the City has <br />received assurances or agreements from the developer, owner, and owners successors, <br />as approved by the City Engineer as is necessary to ensure that the program or facility will <br />continue to function as planned for the agreed upon time period.
