DATE: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 REFERENCE NO.: G-19207
LOG NAME: 061000 AMEND TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES 2018
SUBJECT:
Adopt Ordinance Amending Chapter 30, Article VIII, Transportation Impact Fees, of the Fort Worth City
Code, Revising the Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fee Schedules for
Transportation Facilities (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending Chapter 30, Streets and
Sidewalks, Article VIII, Transportation Impact Fees, of the Fort Worth City Code, revising the land use
assumptions, capital improvements plan, and maximum assessable rate fee schedule and ealleetion rate
fee sehedu'e for transportation facilities.
DISCUSSION:
Texas Local Government Code (TLGC) Chapter 395 governs the imposition of impact fees and requires
that the City update its land use assumptions, capital improvements plan and maximum assessable
impact fees at least every five years. The City Council established transportation impact fees on April 29,
2008 by Ordinance No. 18083-05-2008 (M&C G-16122). The 2008 land use assumptions, capital
improvements plan, maximum assessable fees and collection rates were amended on February 5, 2013
by ordinance 20605-02-2013 (M&C G-17799). This is the second update to the City's transportation
impact fees.
The City contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to prepare the 2017 Transportation Impact Fee
Study (2017 Study), to update the land use assumptions, capital improvements plan and determination of
the maximum assessable fees (City Secretary Contract No. 48543, M&C P-11980). The 2017 Study has
been available for public inspection since November 30, 2017 in the City Secretary's Office and is also
available on the City's Transportation Impact Fee website
(www.fortworthtexas.gov/impactfees/transportation). The Capital Improvements Advisory Committee for
Transportation Impact gees (CIRC) reviewed the 2017 Study and endorsed it on November 17, 2017.
On December 5, 2017, the City Council approved Resolution No. 4871-12-2017 calling for a public
hearing to consider the updated land use assumptions, capital improvements plan and maximum
assessable fees. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Denton
Record-Chronicle, Weatherford Democrat, and Wise County Messenger on December 6, 2017 in
accordance with TLGC. On January 9, 2018, the City Council conducted a public hearing at its regularly
scheduled City Council meeting to receive comments from the public on the proposed amendments. The
TLGC requires that the City Council act on the amendments within the 30 days after the date of the public
hearing.
The 2017 land use assumptions update includes amending the service area boundaries and growth
projections for each service area over a 10-year horizon. They also include a new service area for
Panther Island, as well as the conversion of the previously no-fee service area V to an active fee service

area. The capital improvements plan update includes amending the list of impact fee-eligible projects and
costs for the same time period based on the amended land use assumptions for each service area,
including the new fee service areas. The determination of the maximum assessable fees is based on the
amended land use assumptions and capital improvements plan.
Additionally, Staff has prepared five collection rate options for the Council's consideration, as presented to
City Council during the January 9 City Council Work Session and attached to this M&C.
Staff recommends Option C which increases the current collection rate fees by 25 percent to account for
construction cost inflation for both residential and non-residential uses on a smoothed basis across all
service areas, as shown on the corresponding Attachment B— Schedule 2. On November 17, 2017, the
CIAC unanimously recommended that City Council adopt Option C.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
