             778      reasonably related to the anticipated development activity;
             779          [(iii)] (iv) estimates the proportionate share of:
             780          (A) the costs for existing capacity that will be recouped; and
             781          (B) the costs of impacts on system improvements that are reasonably related to the new

             797      analysis.
             798          (c) In analyzing whether or not the proportionate share of the costs of public facilities
             799      are reasonably related to the new development activity, the local political subdivision or private
             800      entity, as the case may be, shall identify, if applicable:


             801          (i) the cost of each existing public [facilities] facility that has excess capacity to serve
             802      the anticipated development resulting from the new development activity;
             803          (ii) the cost of system improvements for each public facility;
             804          [(ii)] (iii) other than impact fees, the manner of financing [existing] each public
             805      [facilities] facility, such as user charges, special assessments, bonded indebtedness, general
             806      taxes, or federal grants;
             807          [(iii)] (iv) the relative extent to which [the newly developed properties and other
             808      properties have already contributed to the cost of] development activity will contribute to
             809      financing the excess capacity of and system improvements for each existing public [facilities]
             810      facility, by such means as user charges, special assessments, or payment from the proceeds of
             811      general taxes;
             812          [(iv)] (v) the relative extent to which [the newly developed properties and other
             813      properties] development activity will contribute to the cost of existing public facilities and
             814      system improvements in the future;
             815          [(v)] (vi) the extent to which the [newly developed properties are] development activity
             816      is entitled to a credit against impact fees because the [local political subdivision or private
             817      entity, as the case may be, requires its developers or owners, by contractual arrangement or
             818      otherwise, to provide common facilities] development activity will dedicate system
             819      improvements or public facilities that will offset the demand for system improvements, inside
             820      or outside the proposed development[, that have been provided by the local political
             821      subdivision or private entity, respectively, and financed through general taxation or other
             822      means, apart from user charges, in other parts of the service area];
             823          [(vi)] (vii) extraordinary costs, if any, in servicing the newly developed properties; and
