Improvement-Driven Fees National Impact Fee Roundtable Arlington, VA October 5, 2006
Session Outline • Clancy Mullen (15 minutes) • Conceptual framework • Randy Young (15 minutes) • Road impact fee example • Joe Colgan (15 minutes) • Alternative taxonomy • Panel Discussion (15 minutes) • Q&A (15 minutes)
Overview • Alternative Methodologies • Plan-Based • Standard-Based • Essential Characteristics • Plan Requirements in State Laws • Advantages and Disadvantages
Alternative Methodologies • Plan-Based (Improvements-Driven) • Standard-Based (Demand-Driven, Consumption-Based, Buy-in, Incremental Expansion)
Essential Characteristics of Plan-Based Methodologies • Geographic LOS standard • All roads function at LOS D or better • Drainage adequate for 100-year storm • A park within one mile of every house • Minimum 5-minute fire response time • A 10-year to 20-year master plan • Growth projections for planning period • Improvements needed to serve growth at adopted/desired standard • Fee = Total Cost divided by Growth
Essential Characteristics of Standard-Based Methodologies • System-wide LOS standard • Park acres/1,000 population • Road system VMC/VMT ratio • Fire station sq. ft./dwelling unit • Gallons/day per single-family equivalent • Permanent school stations per student • Existing facilities cost per demand unit • Total cost / capacity = unit cost • Fee = unit cost x units needed
State Law Requirements • 27 states have enabling acts • 30% no requirements (FL, AZ, CO, WA..) • 20% require only a list (AR, OR, UT, WI..) • 50% require growth projections • Typical requirements • Growth projections • List of needed projects and costs • Only attributable share used in fee calc. • TX: max fee = growth costs/growth
When Plan-Based is Warranted • Complex, geographic-based LOS • Master plans available • Community approaching build-out
