The Ordinance was adopted on June 6, 1990 and contained future Land Use Assumptions, descriptions of the water and wastewater service areas, and a Capital Improvements Plan to provide for water/wastewater service in the new growth areas of Fort Worth for the next twenty years. The Ordinance also contained a formula for charging "impact fees" to offset some of the costs for water and/or wastewater capital improvements that would serve the new growth area. The state statute requires that the original ordinance and any amendments to it be reviewed each three years and amended as necessary to reflect any changes in land uses, densities, intensities and population in the service area over at least the following ten (10) year period. The City of Fort Worth uniform water and wastewater contracts with wholsesale customers also require that the impact fee, water and wastewater fee schedule be updated at the same time. On or before May 25, 1993, the City Council will be asked to conduct a public hearing and to adopt an ordinance that will describe changes in the Land Use Assumptions and/or Capital Improvements Plan and possibly changes in the impact fees that were adopted in June 1990. In accordance with the state law, the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) has reviewed the land use assumptions portion of the Impact Fee Ordinance. The CAC, which is made up of citizens representing a broad range of the real estate and development sectors, met on February 25, 1993, to review the Land Use Assumptions Report of the ordinance. They had several comments which will be incorporated into the final Land Use Assumptions Report. Additionally, the Wholesale Customer Impact Fee Committee has reviewed the Land Use Assumptions Report in detail. Their recommendations were included in the final report as presented to the Wholesale Water Systems Advisory Committee and the Wholesale Wastewater Systems Advisory Committee meeting on February 18, 1993. or, ''AA`` Cp �" OFFICinL RECORD CITY SECRETARY FT.

It was intended that the land use assumptions to be used for this study would be based upon the population forecasts presently being prepared by the NCTCOG for their sixteen county area and the 1990 U.S. Census data. However, due to the timing of completion of the NCTCOG's forecast and the need for the adoption of the 1993 Land Use Assumptions, it became apparent that an alternative method of population and employment forecasting was needed. Each wholesale customer was requested to provide estimates of their future populations and employment for the years 2003 and 2013. In some cases the wholesale customer did not have complete population forecast data and Carter & Burgess, Inc., the consultant employed to prepare the Impact Fee Ordinance Update, was assigned the task of providing the forecasts. The consulting firm was also asked to provide the population and employment forecasts for the City of Fort Worth with concurrence by the Fort Worth Planning Department. Each wholesale customer has had the oportunity to revise their forecast after a review process. The recent estimates for future populations are somewhat more conservative than those based upon the 1986 regional forecast. This is due to the down turn of the national economy and reduced expectations for major new growth. As an example, the city of Fort Worth population forecast used in the 1990 Land Use Assumptions Report indicated populations of 526,575 in the year 2000 and 563,094 by the year 2010. The forecasts shown in the 1993 Land Use Assumptions Report indicate populations of 482,450 in 2003 and 511,355 by the year 2013 indicating more conservative estimates. OFFICE. RECTO .

It is assumed for this study that this contract will not be renewed. For the purposes of the Land Use Assumptions Report, those Arlington residents to be served through 2001 are included in the service area population forecasts for 1993 and 2003, even though the contract expires in 2001. The purpose of including the future users is to ensure that adequate facilities are in place to serve Arlington's population until the year 2001. These land use assumptions (i.e., forecasted population demands upon the Fort Worth Water and Wastewater Systems) will be used in preparation of the Capital Improvement Plan and the final update impact fee calculation. The updated ordinance adoption schedule calls for a City Council briefing on the Capital Improvements Plan at its regular meeting date, March 23, 1993. A Public Hearing on an updated impact fee ordinance is planned for May 25, 1993 which will comply with the requirement to amend the previous ordinance within the three year time frame. 4Terrell City Manager OFFICIAL RECORD CRY SECRETARY FT.
