During the February 12, 2008 City Council meeting a public hearing was conducted regarding. the Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan provided in the `Transportation Impact Fee Final Report, December 2007 prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. under which a transportation impact fee could be adopted Charles Edmonds, Chair of the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC) for Transportation Impact Fees appeared at the public hearing and informed City Council that during its December 2007 meeting the CIAC reviewed the Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan and recommended City Council adoption of the LUA and CIP Land Use Assumptions 'Land Use Assumptions are defined by State statute as a description of the service area and projections of changes in land uses densities and population in the service area over a 10-year period The City staff consultant team and the CIAC engaged in the following types of review and analysis 1 Analyzed existing conditions. This provided base data relating to population density zoning classifications and other land use analysis. 2. Determined service areas. The boundaries for service areas are contingent upon the specific capital improvement. Texas Local Government Code provides that the service area is limited to an area within the corporate limits and shall not exceed 6 miles 3 Projected ten-year growth patterns. Projection of ten-year growth patterns involved a review of all available land use data including zoning classifications density calculations, anticipated growth population trends, economic issues, including employment projections and the various land use matters often contained in comprehensive plans 4 Projected ultimate (or 'built out") growth The same type of data required for the ten-year growth projections also is utilized in determining the ultimate or 'built out" projections for each service area. This is often based on the holding capacity of the ultimate land area of the city using proposed future land uses to Logname 20LUACIP Page 1 of 2 determine anticipated land use types and densities and ultimate populations The Land Use Assumptions served as a basis for the preparation of the Capital Improvements Plan over a ten-year period as well as a basis for the generation of the number of 'service units to be served A city must be able to show that costs within the Capital Improvements Plan eligible for impact fee funding are attributable to new growth and are derived from the Land Use Assumptions. Capital Improvements Plan Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code sets out certain requirements for the Capital Improvements Plan Under the State statute the Capital Improvements Plan must: 1 Be prepared by a qualified professional (registered professional engineer) 2. Describe existing capital improvements within the service area and the costs to upgrade update improve expand or replace the improvements to meet existing needs and usage and stricter safety efficiency environmental or regulatory standards, 3 Analyze the total capacity and current levels of usage and commitments for usage of capacity of the existing capital improvements, 4 Describe each type of facility expansions or capital improvements and associated costs for improvements of each necessitated by and attributable to new development within each service area based on the approved Land Use Assumptions, 5 Determine by service unit the consumption generation discharge or use of a facility or capital improvement relative to various types of land use (residential commercial and industrial) 6 Determine the total number of projected service units, and 7 Project the demand for capital improvements or facility expansions required by new service units over the next ten-year period State statute requires that a city define an appropriate level of service This level will vary depending upon the nature of the targeted capital facility Selection of a service level represents an indirect commitment by the city to correct existing deficiencies and to deliver services in accordance with projected need Although all facilities expected to serve growth in the ten-year period are not required to be included in the Capital Improvements Plan there should be an attempt to include all that are appropriate The Plan should not attempt to under-estimate or over-estimate the facilities that will be required to serve growth over the next ten-year period FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City Funds.
