6   For a taxation year, the actual value of land that is part of a restricted-use property referred to in section 5 is one of the following amounts, as applicable:

(a) if, for the taxation year, the area of the land is smaller than the area of land that was part of the restricted-use property when the property was designated for the previous taxation year, the amount determined in accordance with the following formula:

(2) For the purposes of applying the formula set out in subsection (1), depreciation for a taxation year is, in relation to a designated restricted-use property, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount of depreciation applicable to an improvement or part of an improvement that is part of the designated restricted-use property, determined as follows:

(a) in the case of a berth improvement or part of a berth improvement, the amount that is equal to 3% of the replacement cost of the improvement or part;

(b) in the case of any other improvement or part of an improvement, the amount of depreciation, if any, determined by the assessor under section 19 (3) of the Act.

(3) Despite subsection (2) (a), the maximum amount of depreciation applicable to a berth improvement or part of a berth improvement for a taxation year is the amount that is equal to 60% of the replacement cost of the improvement or part.

(4) For the purposes of applying the formula set out in subsection (1) for the first taxation year following the completion of construction of a new single berth or double berth that is part of a designated restricted-use property referred to in section 5,

(a) the item in the formula described as PAV continuing must be reduced by the actual value, determined for the previous taxation year, of the berth improvements or parts of the berth improvements forming part of the new berth, and

(b) the item in the formula described as new improvement value must include the following amount, as applicable, as if none of the berth improvements or parts of the berth improvements forming part of the new berth had been part of the restricted-use property when it was designated for the previous taxation year:

(i) in the case of a single berth, $640 000;

(ii) in the case of a double berth, $2 700 000.
