Title
Discuss and consider approval of the land use assumptions and capital improvement projects to be considered in the study Roadway Impact Fee Study and discuss the service units, maximum fee calculation and related Roadway Impact Fee policies.
Summary
In March, City Council authorized staff to begin a Roadway Impact Fee Study. Kimley-Horn and Associates, our consultant for the Transportation Master Plan, is our consultant on this project. This Roadway Impact Fee Study is an analysis necessary for the city in order to consider impact fees related to roadways. Impact fees are funds collected within a service area to pay for roadway improvements that contribute to the capacity of the roadway system.
Unlike water and wastewater impact fees, which can include a service area that is city wide and includes the ETJ, roadway service areas are limited to a six mile trip length and are contained with the corporate city limits. In May, the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee and the City Council completed the first step in the process is to establish the boundaries of the service areas.
The next step of the process is to 1) consider approval of the land use assumptions and capital improvement projects to be considered in the study and 2) discuss the service units, maximum fee calculation and policies related to the Roadway Impact Fee Study.
Projected Future Action
The Roadway Impact Fee Study is anticipated to be discussed with the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee each month through October. Action is anticipated to be requested in October.
