MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kelmeth M. Griffin, P.E., Assistant City Manager/City Engineer ~
RE: Consideration and approval of a resolution establishing a Public Hearing date
to consider Land Use Assumptions for the development of Impact Fees in
accordance with Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code
Date: July 17, 1994
As part of the development of the Roadway Impact Fees, the City has to make various Land Use
Assumptions. The Land Use Assumptions will be used to determine future traffic volumes along
certain streets, to model traffic patterns and develop a Capital Improvements Plan. It is
anticipated that a Roadway Impact Fee will be presented to Council for adoption sometime in
late 1994. The Roadway Impact Fee will in essence take the place of our current Escrow
Policy.
Because of the timetable established for the implementation of the Roadway Impact Fee, the City
of Coppell, through its consultant and the Planning Department, has made various assumptions
on the projected land use in the City of Coppell. We are very much aware that in the near
future the City will be embarking upon a master plan update to revisit all land uses within the
City of Coppell. Once that study is completed in 1995, if there have been substantial changes
to what this Land Use Assumption map shows, the City will review our Roadway Impact Fee
to determine if the fees need to be adjusted either upward or downward. It is very likely if there
are only minor changes from this Land Use Assumption map, that it will have absolutely no
impact on the final fee established by the City Council in late 1994.
Again, this resolution only establishes a date for the Public Hearing to consider the Land Use
Assumptions. Staff will be available to answer any questions at the City Council meeting.
