Approving an ordinance on second reading with a caption reading: An Ordinance of the City of Pflugerville, Texas, amending Title XV: Land Usage, Chapter 152, Subchapter B, Roadway Impact Fees to include an updated roadway impact fee service area map and approving a Roadway Impact Fee Study update incorporated herein; containing severability and repealer clauses; and providing an effective date.
Summary
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.

Service Area A: Maximum Assessable Fee per Vehicle Mile = $1,590
