Item Summary:
Many of the arterial roadways on the City of Round Rock's Transportation Master Plan are dependent on developer
participation; some developers choose to contribute to the construction of the roadway, while others choose to
donate right-of-way. In either case, developer participation is critical in the development of Round Rock's Ultimate
Roadway Network.
Arterial A is a major arterial roadway shown on the current Transportation Master Plan which will eventually provide
connectivity from SH 45 north into Georgetown by connecting to Williamson County Road 110. In addition to
providing much needed connectivity and an alternate travel route to IH 35, the first phase of this roadway between
Joe DiMaggio Boulevard and Forest Creek Drive will facilitate the development of several parcels which are currently
landlocked just south of US 79 and the Union Pacific Railroad. Staff has worked for several years to evaluate
scenarios which will allow the land owners to participate in the construction of this roadway.
In cooperation with the land owners, staff has determined that the best option is a Road Impact Fee, which is
regulated under Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code. This proposed road impact fee is specific to the
subject properties, and upon approval becomes collectable as building permits are issued.
As the first step to implementing a Road Impact Fee, staff contracted with HDR, Inc. to develop land use
assumptions and a capital improvements plan for these properties. Pursuant to Chapter 395, the next step in this
process is the adoption of a resolution establishing a date for a public hearing to consider the land use assumptions
and capital improvements plan. The proposed date is August 26, 2010.
