Item Summary:
Many of the arterial roadways on the City of Round Rock's Transportation Master Plan are dependent on developer
participation through contributions to the construction of the roadway and/or donation of right-of-way (R.O.W.).
Either case, developer participation is critical in the development of Round Rock's Ultimate Roadway Network.
Kenney Fort Boulevard (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 for landowner participation 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 will not apply to any other properties in the City. The current estimated
fee is $690/p.m. trip. The fee will be adjusted based upon actual R.O.W. costs and construction costs prior to
adoption by the City Council. Upon approval the impact fee becomes collectable as building permits are issued.
As the first step to implementing a Road Impact Fee, the City 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 public hearing date is April 28, 2011.
The tentative schedule of Council meetings related to the consideration and adoption of the roadway impact fee is
as follows:
1. March 24, 2011 Council resolves to hold a public meeting regarding the land use assumptions and capital
improvements plan on April 28, 2011.
2. April 28, 2011— a) Council holds a public hearing regarding the land use assumptions and capital
improvements plan. b) Following the public hearing, the Council considers the approval of the land use
assumptions and the capital improvements plan. c) Council resolves to hold a public hearing regarding the
imposition of the impact fee on June 9, 2011.
