RE:
City of Coppell Roadway
Impact Fee Study (JBM Project No. 93-520)
Dear Mr. Griffin:
Forwarded herewith for your information and use is an outline of "Procedures for Adoption of
Roadway Impact Fee" as required by Chapter 395, Texas Local Government Code (S.B. No.
336). Also included is a report on Land Use Assumptions for Roadway Impact Fees developed
in coordination with Gary Sieb, City Planner. The report includes the service area map,
projections of changes in land uses, densities, intensities and populations for the base year 1994,
ten year projections (2004) and build-out.
This data has been provided to Gary Sieb for review by the Advisory Committee (P&Z). It is
our understanding that Gary wants to set the public hearing for land use assumptions for August
18th. This will require that the Council pass a resolution to publish notice of the hearing at least
30 days prior to that date. The Council is required to adopt a resolution within 30 days after the
hearing on the land use assumptions.
After City Council approval of land use assumptions, we will proceed to finalize the roadway
Capital Improvements Plan.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please advise me.
Sincerely,
JBM Engineers & Planners
