For the purposes of sections 16 and 17 above, when the first buildg that replaces a demolished buildg (the value B exceeds A) the excess can be referred to as surplus redevelopment credit. In the event of subsequent buildg construction on the same site of a former lawfully demolished or replaced unit or nonresidential premises, only the value of any surplus redevelopment credits may be used as item B the formula derived from the calculation of development charges under sections 16 or 17 of this bylaw.

The refund shall be calculated by determg the development charge that would be payable at the current rate respect of the former premises (by usg the applicable current rate for the particular type of nonresidential premises or dwellg units demolished) as if those former premises were currently beg constructed, erected or placed for the first time. 2. Demolition or Removal of Temporary Buildgs Where a buildg or structure is demolished or removed its entirety from the land on which it is located with twentyfour months (24) from the date of issuance of the buildg permit for the construction, erection or placg of the buildg or structure at such location, the owner of the buildg or structure may submit a request to the Chief Buildg Official for refund from the reserve funds, of the amount paid at the issuance of the buildg permit toward all or part of the development charge paid under section 4 of this bylaw or a predecessor of that section. 21.
