9. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Transportation Impact Fee
Community Development Director Bond explained at the last Council meeting, a survey was
conducted in which the Council voted kind of on their highest priority projects of how to meet in
the middle, between alternatives A and B. We had our consultant finalize the report and did
catch one mistake, and so I made one change from the direction that I was given, because an
important project was left off the list on all 3 alternatives entirely. Fortunately it was the same
value of one of your last ranked projects on the list that you voted on, and so we swapped them
out to keep the fee in that middle ground. The proposed PM Rate is $7,977, which is right in the
middle of alternatives A and B. For a single-family home that would come out to $7,498 because
a Peak PM trip for a single-family home is .95 trips. That's about a 27% increase over the current
rate of $6,288 and that's for the Peak PM trip rate.
Assuming this report looks good, our next step is to schedule a public hearing on July 8th. Mr.
Bond recommends an effective date of the ordinance to be the last Monday in July (July 28th).
After discussion, Council agreed to move forward with the public hearing and proposed
ordinance.
