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.
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 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. The City contracted with
HDR, Inc. to develop the road impact fee report; this report was provided to the Council on March 25, 2011.
Previously, Council held a public hearing regarding the land use assumptions and capital improvements plan
proposed for the service area which will be subject to the impact fee — Council subsequently adopted the land use
assumptions and capital improvements plan. Pursuant to Chapter 395, the next step in the adoption of a Road
Impact Fee is to set a date for a public hearing regarding the imposition of the impact fee. The proposed public
hearing date is June 9, 2011.
