DISCUSSION
Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code requires that a public hearing be held to receive
comment on the Land Use Assumptions (LUA) and Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) before the governing
body can adopt those products. 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

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
