Transportation Impact Fee Program

Credits
An applicant may receive credit against the applicable impact fee for the value of system improvements, including dedications of land, improvements, and/or construction. Credit will be given only if the land, improvements, and/or the facility constructed are:

• Included within the City’s capital facilities plan or would serve the goals and objectives of the capital facilities plan.
• Are at suitable sites and constructed at acceptable quality as determined by the Director.
• Serve to offset impacts of the feepayer’s development activity;
• Are for one or more of the transportation projects listed in the Rate Study as the basis for calculating the transportation impact fee.

The request for a credit shall include a legal description of the dedicated land, a detailed description of improvements or construction provided, and a legal description or other adequate description of the development.

The value of the credit shall be as determined by the Director, on a case-by-case basis. In the event that the Applicant disagrees with the Director’s valuation, the Applicant may submit an appraisal for the Director’s consideration.

If the amount of the credit is less than the calculated impact fee amount, the difference remaining shall be chargeable as an impact fee and paid at the time of application for the permit. If the total value of any credit for such dedication, improvement or construction costs exceeds the amount of the transportation impact fee obligation, the Applicant will not be entitled to reimbursement of the difference.

No credit shall be given for project improvements.

Additional information regarding credits can be found in Ordinance 1476 on the City’s website.
