Consider and take action on an ordinance adopting roadway capital recovery fees (Director of Engineering)
Staff requests approval on first and final reading
Background:
The ordinance 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 adopted on 10/23/18) and holding of a public hearing to discuss the imposition of a Roadway Capital Recovery Fee (held on 1/8/19), the City may elect to impose a Capital Recovery Fee for Roadways within the 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.
