Study Objectives and Tasks
Study Milestones
Update on development of land use schedule
Objectives for land use schedule
Next Steps

3. Transportation Impact Fee Background
City Council Priority
City Code requires consideration to update at least once every six years
City Impact Fee Ordinance adopted in 2004 and updated in 2011 (to consolidate land uses and adjust fees)
Fees on new development for purpose of funding capacity improvements to accommodate impact of development

4. Transportation Impact Fee Study Background – Purpose
Update becomes necessary due to changes in facility/roadway needs, land use characteristics, cost assumptions, and projected growth
Update ensures that impact generating development pays appropriate share of capital transportation improvements

5. Transportation Impact Fee Study Background – Objectives and Tasks
Study will update Fees using best available localized data (construction costs, trip generation of land use, identification of capacity projects)
Create opportunities to promote City’s economic development (incentives for certain land uses?, - certain areas?)

6. Transportation Impact Fee Study Background – Objectives and Tasks
Major Milestones for Study
Update of Land Use Schedule
Identify roadway improvements
Develop roadway improvement costs
Develop ordinance to implement impact fees

7. Update of Land Use Schedule - Objectives
Simplify Schedule
Provide additional clarification for certain land uses
Identify Opportunities to Coordinate Schedule with Standards in Land Development Code (to simplify implementation)
Create opportunities to promote City’s economic development

8. Update of Land Use Schedule - Objectives
Objectives for Update - Simplify Schedule
Refine land use groups into similar categories using Institute of Traffic Engineer (ITE) Manual
Combining of similar uses (e.g. restaurants, offices)
Develop new land use category - Multi-Tenant Centers
Category provides opportunity to capture multi-purpose trips
Eliminates need to prematurely identify specific uses
Eliminates need to reassess impact fees when there is change in use

9. Update of Land Use Schedule - Objectives
Objective for Update - Additional clarification for certain land uses
Definitions to be developed as part of implementing ordinance
Clarify areas to be assessed as part of use (outdoor storage areas, outside seating)
Convenience Stores with Fuel Pumps (to be assessed per sq. ft. of store plus per fueling position)
Banks with drive thru lanes (to be assessed per sq. ft. plus per drive thru lane)

10. Update of Land Use Schedule - Objectives
Objective for Update - Opportunity to Coordinate Schedule with Standards in Land Development Code (to simplify implementation)
Coordinate impact fee with land development code requirements

11. Update of Land Use Schedule - Objectives
Objective for Update - Create opportunities to promote City’s economic development
Existing ITT platted lots as incentive target (incentivize certain land uses)
Multi-Tenant category simplifies and eliminates uncertainty in impact fees (when there is change of use in a multi-tenant center, streamlines process for filling in of vacant space)
Develop criteria for Multi-Tenant land use category (consistency in application)

12. Next Steps Update of Land Use Schedule
Next Presentation to City Council
Identify roadway improvements
Use of Travel Demand Model Data
Develop roadway improvement costs
Use various sources to determine costs
Future City Council Action
Adoption of Ordinance to Implement Impact Fees
