Title
Conduct a public hearing regarding land use assumptions, a Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and imposition of a roadway impact fee.
Body
Roadway impact fees were established and have been assessed in Mesquite since 1996. The most recent full study was completed in 2015 when new fees were established. Since 2015, the City has annexed several properties in Kaufman County. Because those properties were not part of the 2015 Study, roadway impact fees cannot be collected on those properties. This update to the land use assumptions, Capital Improvements Program and fee will allow the City to assess and collect impact fees in those areas annexed since 2015.
On December 9, 2019, the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee unanimously voted to recommend the proposed update to the Impact Fee ordinance.
Recommended/Desired Action
Staff requests that a public hearing be opened and continued to the January 21, 2020, City Council meeting at which time the Council will be asked to consider the update to the Impact Fee ordinance.
