City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

02/22/2022

BACKGROUND

State Law limits the imposition of roadway impact fees to areas within the City limits, unlike water and sewer impact fees which can be charged outside the city limits. When the City adopts or updates the impact fees, one item adopted is an impact fee service area map, indicating what areas/properties are subject to impact fees. So when the City annexes land, those properties are not automatically subject to roadway impact fees. In order to impose roadway impact fees on these areas/properties, the City must amend its roadway impact fee ordinance and update the study and service area on which the roadway impact fees are based. City Staff has been working with Freese and Nichols, Inc. on this amendment. The first step in considering adopting these items is to approve a resolution announcing the City's intent to update the Roadway Impact Fees. The City did that on December 14, 2021, but the public notice date was missed so staff is having seek a new approval and time frame. So to be clear, this resolution does not actually change the roadway impact fees - it simply begins that process. City Council will consider the actual amendment on April 5, 2022.
