The developer doesn't actually pay anything. Sure, they might foot the bill while during construction but the cost of the impact fee is passed along to the buyer the same as the cost of lumber and bathroom fixtures.
Assessing impact fees on new construction is a way of making the property owners pay for the additional infrastructure needed to support their homes and businesses.
