SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE -- AMENDED WATER AND
WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES
City Council to consider adopting a resolution establishing November 15, 2011 as the
public hearing date to consider the imposition of amended water and wastewater impact
fees, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND
The Impact Fee Advisory Committee met with City staff and representatives of Freese
and Nichols, Inc., on June 27, 2011 and September 29, 2011 to review the proposed
Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for the Ten Year
Planning Period of 2011 to 2021. In those meetings, the Freese and Nichols
representatives submitted a draft report addressing various elements of the proposed
Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for the
committee's review.
Based upon the projected population and total acreage of developed non - residential
land, water and wastewater demands were developed for 2021. Utilizing these water
and wastewater demands, the City's water and wastewater master plans, and additional
staff input, Freese & Nichols developed the Capital Improvements Plan for the planning
period of 2011 to 2021, build -out. The report provided an assessment of the City's
water and wastewater systems as follows:
Projects constructed before 2011, and
Projects to be constructed between 2011 and 2021.
The consensus of the Impact Fee Advisory Committee was that the Water and
Wastewater Impact Fees are reasonable, representative of anticipated growth in the City
and should be adopted by the City Council.
Staff recommends approval.
