This page intentionally left blank. 2019 Street Impact Fee Study City of Austin, Texas i Final Draft January 2020 FOREWORD Impact Fees are a mechanism for funding the public infrastructure necessitated by new development. The primary purpose of the 2019 Street Impact Fee Study is to determine the maximum assessable impact fee per unit of new development as allowed by Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code. The maximum assessable fee is a technical calculation that represents the demand that new development places on the street infrastructure and quantifies the cost for growth to pay for growth. This technical document does not consider policy decisions that might be used to further other City goals beyond street infrastructure. Those policy decisions would set the effective Street Impact Fee. These decisions include, but aren’t limited to, the following: Rate Setting: The study calculated the maximum assessable street impact fee per service area. This fee could be discounted by a wide variety of options. These options include: Vary by Service Area: Use a different collection option by Service Area. Vary by Land Use: Use a different rate or percentage for different land uses (e.g. residential and non-residential). Phased-In Approach: Start with one option in year 1 and transition to another option in the future. Offsets: Fees would be offset by system improvements that are built by development. The implementation of offsets will be outlined in the ordinance. Discounts: Additional discounts for different development types that further other City objectives, such as affordable housing and transit-oriented development could be included in the rate setting. 2019 Street Impact Fee Study City of Austin, Texas ii Final Draft January 2020 Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ...................................................................................................................1 I.
