Title
Hold a public hearing on the adoption of Roadway Capital Improvement Fees for the City of League City (Director of Engineering)
Background:
The public hearing being requested is part of the roadway capital recovery fee creation process. In accordance with Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code, upon the adoption of land use assumptions and a capital improvements plan (Council adoption on October 23, 2018), the City must adopt an ordinance setting a public hearing to discuss the imposition of a Roadway Capital Recovery Fee (Council adoption on November 27, 2018).
The Roadway Capital Recovery Fee Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC), working with City Staff and the Consultant, Freese and Nichols, has received a study report documenting the methodological approach, the development of land use assumptions and roadway capital improvements plan, the associated cost per service unit calculations based on needs necessitated by future 10-year growth, and a land use equivalency table for determining Roadway Capital Recovery Fees for specific land uses in League City. Based on the study, the CIAC has approved a motion for the consideration of Roadway Capital Recovery Fees by the League City City Council. The CIAC has further recommended a fee per service unit for Roadway Service Area #1 of $323 for all types of land use. The CIAC also recommended a fee per service unit for Roadway Service Areas #2-4 of $1,120 as a residential collection rate and $560 as a non-residential collection rate. This public hearing will enable the general public an opportunity to provide input, comments, and/or express support or opposition to the imposition of a Roadway Capital Recovery Fee.
Pursuant to the Local Government Code (Chapter 395, Section 050), the CIAC shall file its written comments on the proposed impact fee prior to the fifth business day before the date of the public hearing on the imposition of the fee.
