FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER `�'\
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 15, 2016
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO THE WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT
FEES, CONDUCTING A PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVING
THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE AMENDING THE
WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider conducting a public hearing to evaluate Amended Water and
Wastewater Impact Fees, adopting an Ordinance on First Reading approving the
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 July 20 and October 12, 2016 to review the proposed Land Use
Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for the 2016-2026 planning
period. In those meetings, 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 2026. Utilizing these water and
wastewater demands, the City's water and wastewater master plans, and additional staff
input, Freese and Nichols developed the Capital Improvements Plan for the planning
period of 2016-2026. The report provided an assessment of the City's water and
wastewater systems that were constructed before 2016 and projects to be constructed
between 2016 and 2026.
In the October 12, 2016 meeting the Impact Fee Advisory Committee reviewed maximum
water and wastewater impact fees that could be imposed for the 2016-2026 planning .
period. In that meeting, Freese and Nichols representatives submitted a draft report
addressing various elements of the second and final phase of developing water and
wastewater impact fees including mandated fee credits.
The Impact Fee Advisory Committee recommends that the City Council consider adopting
the following maximum allowable fees:
MAXIMUM FEE AFTER 50% CREDIT
Water/SFLUE $1,622
Wastewater/SFLUE $792
Total $2,414
Past fees imposed by the City per Single Family Living Unit Equivalency (SFLUE) have
been:
