  § 7-2-2. INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS OF STREET FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT FEES.  

Latest version.
  • (A) The street facilities development fees may be calculated based upon individual assessment. An individual assessment shall be at the cost of the applicant and shall be prepared by a qualified traffic engineer firm or other qualified professional as approved by the Development Fee Administrator.
    (B) The individual assessment shall include, without limitation, the following elements:
    (1) A projection of the number of vehicular trips entering and departing from the project during an average weekday;
    (2) If the site is already developed, and some or all of the existing development will be replaced by the completed project, a calculation of the number of vehicular trips for that portion of the existing development which will be replaced by the completed project;
    (3) The percentage of trips which are "primary trips" (as opposed to "pass-by trips" or "diverted-link trips" for which the project is not the primary destination);
    (4) The average length of those trips on the city's major roadway system;
    (5) The assumptions and conclusions from which any projections are made; if the assumptions or conclusions are derived from the current edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) manual or other standard reference materials, the materials shall be identified and appropriate excerpts or specific references provided; otherwise, the reasoning underlying the assumptions and conclusions shall be clearly stated in writing; and
    (6) Such information as the Development Fee Administrator shall reasonably request.
    (C) The streets facilities development fee per development unit shall be calculated according to the following formula(s):
    Cost per Development Unit

    Where:
    FEE
    = VMT x Net cost per VMT.
    VMT
    = Average Weekday Trip Ends x Adjustment Factor x Average Miles per System Trip x Trip Length Weighting Factors.
    Weekday Trip Ends per 1,000 Sq. Ft.
    = vehicle trips per 1,000 sq. ft. of nonresidential development as defined in the ITE Manual.
    Trip Adjustment Factor
    = percentage of all trip ends that represent destination trips as defined in the ITE Manual.
    Average Miles per System Trip
    = 6.76 for residential units, 4.22 for industrial development, 4.33 for commercial, 4.22 for office/institutional, unless the Applicant provides convincing evidence that another factor is more appropriate for the proposed development.
    Trip Length Weighting Factor
    = average trip length ratio by land use type as defined in the National Household Travel Survey.
    Net Cost per VMT
    = $113.82, unless the Applicant provides convincing evidence that another net cost factor is more appropriate for the proposed development.
