             (2) Imposition of a fee for the extension of infrastructure to encourage such interspersion.

      (b) Mixed-use development, transit-oriented development, the development of a brownfield site and development which minimizes the negative impact on the environment. As used in this paragraph, “brownfield site” has the meaning ascribed to it in 42 U.S.C. § 9601.
