Title
Approving a resolution setting a public hearing to discuss and review Chapter 152, Subchapter B, Roadway Impact Fee Ordinance Amendments.
Summary
The proposed public hearing is a requirement to amend Chapter 152, Subchapter B, Roadway Impact Fee Ordinance for the proposed 2024 Update. The proposed amendment is an adjustment to add a recently annexed parcel (Fuchs Grove and Cameron Road) into Service Area C, as identified in the Roadway Impact Fee Study, which was last amended in October 2023 by Ordinance No. 1612-23-10-10. Unlike water and wastewater impact fees, which can include a service area that is city wide and includes the extraterritorial jurisdiction, roadway service areas are limited to the city limits.
No adjustments are proposed to the impact fee, land use assumptions, or capital improvement plan at this time. The public hearing process is a requirement based on the process requirements outlined in the Roadway Impact Fee Ordinance, as well Texas Local Government Coder Chapter 395.
Background
The Roadway Impact Fee Study, as adopted, established a maximum rate that could be collected per service area and would be applicable to new development or redevelopment that generates an increase in trips from existing uses. No changes are proposed to the rates with the 2024 Update and the rates will remain as follows:
Service Area A: Maximum Assessable Fee per Vehicle Mile = $1,590
Service Area B: Maximum Assessable Fee per Vehicle Mile = $2,916
Service Area C: Maximum Assessable Fee per Vehicle Mile = $3,156
In order incorporate the new acreage from the recent annexation near Fuchs Grove and Cameron Road, the City is required to hold a public hearing and take action after conducting a public hearing.
Texas Local Government Coder Chapter 395 requires the City Council adopt a resolution to set a public hearing date to consider changes to the Impact Fee Ordinance. Once the public hearing date is set, a newspaper notice is required to be published in the newspaper at least 30 days prior to the public hearing being conducted. The information regarding the study update is also required to be posted for the public during that time frame.
