Title
Discussion regarding Roadway Impact Fee updates to land use assumptions, capital improvements and the impact fee.
Summary
At the July 14, 2026 City Council meeting a Public Hearing was conducted on the update to the Roadway Impact Fee Ordinance. During the conversation several questions came from City Council about growth rates, timing of growth, and the policy of how to best utilize impact fees.
The City has contracted with Kimley-Horn & Associates to conduct an update to the Roadway Impact Fee Ordinance. These fees are governed by the Local Government Code, Section 395. This section of the code limits an increase to these fees to every three years. The City has also contracted with Pattillo Brown & Hill to conduct an independent financial audit of the fund to comply with the new requirements of Section 395.059.
Roadway Impact Fees are determined based on land use, growth, and capital improvements of each of the identified service areas. Pflugerville is divided into three service areas that meet the provisions required by state law for impact fees. Service area A, includes generally the area located north and west of the intersection of Pflugerville Parkway and SH130. Service Area B is generally the area south and west of the intersection of Pflugerville Parkway and SH130. Service Area C includes area within the city limits east of SH130.
The Roadway Impact Fee Study 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. The maximum assessable fee per vehicle being proposed with the 2026 Update is as follows:
Service Area A: Maximum Assessable Fee per Vehicle Mile = $4,390 (previously $1,590)
Service Area B: Maximum Assessable Fee per Vehicle Mile = $2,009 (previously $2,916)
Service Area C: Maximum Assessable Fee per Vehicle Mile = $6,812 (previously $3,156)
This update was presented to the Advisory Committee (CIAC)...
