Title
Discussion regarding study assumptions related to the Roadway Impact Fee Study in preparation for future public hearing.
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 discuss land use assumptions, capital improvements and other assumptions to be considered in the study.
Capital Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) Action
On May 4, 2020, the CIAC recommended approval of Service Area - Option 1 and asked that consideration be given to moving the eastern boundary of Service Area B be the future extension of Pfennig Lane.
The CIAC is anticipated to meet monthly regarding the Roadway Impact Fee Study with final recommendation being anticipated in October.
