MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
DATE: September 13, 2005
Consider approval of an ordinance to amend the Land Use Assumptions and the Capital
Improvement Plan for Water, Wastewater and Roadway Facilities by amending the City of
Coppell Code of Ordinances, Chapter 17, Impact Fees; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
On August 23, 2005 a Public Heating was held to consider the amendment of the Land Use
Assumptions, Capital Improvement Plan for Water, Wastewater and Roadway Facilities and to
consider the imposition of Water, Wastewater and Roadway Impact Fees. A presentation was made
highlighting proposed changes to the Roadway Impact Fee and recommendations of the Capital
Improvement Advisory Committee concerning various capital improvements proposed in the plan and
the changing of the impact fee amount per equivalent service unit. There were no citizens present to
speak at the Public Heating. The revision to the Impact Fee Study has been a series of steps prescribed
by state law, which began on March 8, 2005 when City Council awarded the contract to Freese and
Nichols, Inc., to revise the Impact Fee Study. The item this evening is to approve the actual ordinance
that will revise the study and change several aspects of the current Impact Fee Study, such as:
Revise the roadway facilities zones from 10 to 1.
Revise the collection time of impact fees to state that Water and Wastewater Impact Fees are
collected at time of issuance of the building permit. The city will continue to collect Roadway
Impact Fees prior to the recordation of the final plat.
Included with the ordinance are the tables showing the maximum fees that could be assessed for water,
wastewater and roadways. The recommendation from the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee
was that the Roadway Impact Fee be set at $150 / per equivalent service unit, and that the Water and
Wastewater Impact Fee be set at $900 / per equivalent service unit. Both of these fees are less than the
maximum amount that could be assessed. As a reminder, the maximum amount that could be assessed
is 50% of what the actual study shows should be assessed to cover actual costs.
The final step in the revisions to the impact fees will take place in October 2005 when a new fee
ordinance is brought forth for consideration by City Council.
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance to amend the Land Use Assumptions and Capital
Improvement Plan for Water, Wastewater and Roadway Facilities. Staff will be available to answer
any questions at the Council meeting.
