Title
Approval of a resolution setting a public hearing to discuss the imposition of a Roadway Impact Fee.
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 order to continue moving forward with impact fees, it is necessary to set a second public hearing date for consideration of the imposition of a Roadway Impact Fee. Texas Local Government Coder Chapter 395 requires the City Council adopt a resolution to set a public hearing date to consider impact fees. Once the public hearing date is set and, prior to thirty days before the date set for the hearing, notice of the hearing shall be published in the newspaper and information for period of projections and a description of the impact fees shall be made available to the public.
