(1) General Provisions
(a) Purpose. This section is intended to assure the provision of adequate public
facilities to serve new development in the City by requiring each development to
pay its pro rata share of the costs of improvements necessitated by and attributable
to such new development. Impact fees established by this section are additional
and supplemental to, and not in substitution of any other requirements imposed by
the City on the development of land or the issuance of building permits or
certificates of occupancy. Such fee is intended to be consistent with and to further
the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Capital Improvement Plan, the
zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations and other City policies, resolutions and
ordinances by which the City seeks to provide adequate public facilities in
conjunction with the development of land.
(b) Applicability. This section shall be applicable uniformly to new development that
occurs within the water and wastewater service area. For new development that
occurs within the boundaries of the city's wholesale customers or other political
subdivisions, the applicability and terms for the assessment and collection of the
impact fee shall be defined by agreement.
(c) Authority. This section is adopted pursuant to V.T.C.A., Texas Local
Government Code ch. 395, the constitution and laws of the state, and the Round
Rock Charter. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to limit the
power of the city to adopt an impact fee pursuant to any other source of local
authority nor to limit the utilization of any other methods or powers otherwise
available for accomplishing the purposes set forth herein.
(d) Development Approval. No application for new development shall be approved
by the City without assessment of an impact fee pursuant to this section, and no
water and wastewater tap shall be connected unless the impact fees assessed by
this section have been paid.

(d) Nonstandard Meter. No adjustment in service units shall be made for water use
or fire demand that falls between standard meter sizes or combinations.
(e) Revision of Service Units Designation. The City may revise the service units
designation in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Act.
(6) Impact Fees Per Service Unit
(a) Maximum Allowable Fee. The maximum impact fee per service unit shall be
computed by dividing the cost of water and wastewater capital improvements and
facilities expansions necessitated by and attributable to new development identified
in the impact fee capital improvements plan for each category of capital
improvements by the total number of projected service units in the impact fee
service area based upon the land use assumptions, and then may be adjusted to
reflect a credit, as appropriate, for other non -fee methods of capital payments
referenced in Section 395.014(7), Texas Local Government Code. Maximum
impact fees per service unit shall be established for each category of capital
4
(b)
improvements and are on record in the office of the City Secretary, and
incorporated in this section by reference.
Beginning on JAN. I 2005" , the City shall assess and collect per service unit
to be served by the City's water system a Water Impact Fee of Four Thousand
Two Hundred Ninety-six Dollars ($4,296.00).
(c) Beginning on JAN. 1) 2 05 , the City shall assess and collect per service unit
to be served by the City's wastewater system a Wastewater Impact Fee of One
Thousand Three Hundred Six Dollars ($1,306.00).
(7) Assessment Of Impact Fees
(a) The City shall assess the impact fees per service unit in affect at the time of plat
recordation of a subdivision plat or other plat under Subchapter A, Chapter 212,
or the City's subdivision ordinance.
(b) Except as provided in section 395.019 of the Act, the City shall collect the fees
as follows:
(1) At the time the political subdivision issues a building permit; or
(2) For land platted outside the corporate boundaries of the City, the City
shall collect the impact fees at the time an application for an individual
meter connection to the City's water or wastewater system is filed.
(c) For land on which new development occurs or is proposed to occur without
platting, the City may assess the impact fees at any time during the development
and building process and may collect the fees at either the time of recordation of
the subdivision plat or connection to the City's water or wastewater system or at
the time the City issues either the building permit or the certificate of occupancy.
(d) Following assessment of the impact fee hereunder, the amount of the impact fee
per service unit may not be increased above the assessed fee unless the owner
obtains final approval for replatting in which case a new assessment shall occur
at the assessed water and wastewater impact fee per service unit in effect at the
time of such replatting.
(e) An application for an amended plat made pursuant to Texas Local Government
Code Section 212.016 or the City's subdivision rules is not subject to a
reassessment of the impact fee.
(8) Calculation Of Impact Fees
(a) The water and wastewater impact fees shall be based on the size of the water
meter determined by the Director to be necessary to serve the development and
the number of service units associated with that size of water meter. If the City
allows a development to connect to the wastewater system without connecting to
the water system, the Director shall determine the size of the water meter that
would be required if the development did connect to the water system. The
5
(b)
number of service units associated with the various sizes of water meter are set
forth herein in Section (5), Determination of Service Units.
A property owner may submit, or the Director may require the submission of a
study, prepared by a professional engineer, licensed in the State, clearly indicating
the number of water and/or wastewater service units which will be consumed or
generated by the new development. The Director will review the information for
completeness and conformity with generally accepted engineering practices and
may, when satisfied with the completeness and conformity of the study, modify
the total number of service units required for the new development.
(c) Total service units shall be multiplied by the impact fee per service unit for water
or wastewater service as depicted in Section (6), Impact Fee Per Service Unit or
as determined in subsection (b) above.
(d) All applicable offsets, credits or discounts per service unit allowable under this
section for water or wastewater service shall be subtracted from the product
derived under subsection (c) of this section.
(e)
The amount of impact fee due for new development shall not exceed the amount
computed by multiplying the assessed fee for water or wastewater service by the
total number of service units generated by the development.
(0 Whenever the property owner increases the number of service units for a
development, the additional impact fees collected for such new service units shall
be determined based on the assessed fee and applicable offsets, credits and
discounts then in effect and such additional fee shall be collected at the time the
additional meters are purchased.
(g)
For the purpose of determining water impact fees, no additional service units are
attributable to the addition of a separate irrigation meter if the irrigation meter is
the same size as or smaller than the existing meter. If a larger irrigation meter is
installed, the water impact fee shall be the difference between that of the existing
meter and that of the irrigation meter.
(h) In determining the number of service units for wastewater impact fees, no service
units will be attributed to irrigation meters.
(i) Payment of an impact fee in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
section shall entitle the payor to receive a credit for same to be used in the event
the tap for the property for which the fee is paid expires and must be repurchased;
provided, however, that the impact fee is not refundable upon expiration of the
tap.
(j) If the tap or building permit for the property on which an impact fee is paid has
expired and a new application is thereafter filed for the identical property and the
same number of service units, the impact fee previously paid satisfies the
requirements of this section.
(k) The impact fee shall attach to the property for which the impact fee was paid and
shall not be transferable to other properties or service units.
(1) No request to connect to the water and wastewater system shall be granted and no
building permit shall be issued if the applicant cannot verify payment of the
appropriate impact fee and other applicable fees or if existing facilities do not have
actual capacity to provide service to the new connection(s).
(9) Credits
If the City requires, as a condition of development approval, or otherwise enters into an
agreement with a developer, to have the developer construct, fund or otherwise contribute
toward the cost of a capital improvement or facility expansion included in the adopted
water or wastewater capital improvements plan, the City shall provide for reimbursement
in the form of credits against impact fees that would otherwise be due from the
development. Such credits shall run with the land and shall be used to reduce the amount
of the impact fee that would otherwise be owed at the time of collection of impact fees.
If the amount of such credits would be insufficient to reimburse the developer for the cost
of required improvements, the City shall provide for reimbursement to the developer up
to the balance of the cost of the required improvements from water or wastewater impact
fees collected from other new development within the same service area. In determining
the amount of such credits, the developer shall submit evidence of the actual, fair -market
cost of the required improvement. Such credits shall only be applicable against the impact
fees for the type of facility (water or wastewater) for which the capital improvement is
made.
(10) Exceptions And Exemptions
(a) Limitation on Modification. Except as provided in this section or by contract in
existence on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section, any
reduction, change or modification in the amount or time of payment of the impact
fee must be approved by a duly enacted ordinance of the City Council.
(b) Fire Protection Capacity. No fee shall be collected for the purchase of a tap that
is utilized to provide only fire protection capacity.
(c) Nothing hereinabove stated shall be construed to alter the terms of a contract with
a wholesale customer of the City regarding the payment of impact fees and shall
not be construed to authorize the payment of impact fees in installments in areas
encompassed by such a contract for wholesale service.
(d) Exchange. A tap may be exchanged before any water or wastewater service has
been received for another tap without collection of the impact fees established in
this section if the exchange will result in an equivalent or lesser number of service
units to be utilized on the property for which the tap was originally purchased.
The number of service units to be exchanged shall be determined in accordance
with Section 5 and shall not be based on the number of units at the time of initial
purchase.
7
(e) Waiver. By majority vote of the City Council, a resolution or ordinance may be
adopted waiving or reducing the impact fees for a certain class of development,
or for a specific development if there is a finding that the proposed waiver or
reduction would result in substantial economic benefit to the City.
(11) Accounting For Fees And Interest
(a) All water and wastewater impact fees collected by the City shall be deposited in
interest bearing accounts clearly identifying the category of capital improvements
for which the fees were collected.
(b)
Interest earned by each account shall be credited to the account on which it is
earned and shall be used solely for the purposes specified for impact fees as
authorized hereinbelow.
(c) The City shall establish adequate financial and accounting controls to ensure that
impact fees disbursed from the account are utilized solely for the purposes
authorized in this section. Disbursement of funds shall be authorized by the City
at such times as are reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of
this section; provided, however, that any fee paid shall be expended within a
reasonable period of time, but not to exceed ten years from the date the fee is
deposited into the account.
(d) The City shall maintain and keep adequate financial records for each such
account, which shall show the source and disbursement of all revenues, which
shall account for all moneys received, the number of service units for which the
moneys are received, and which shall ensure that the disbursement of funds from
each account shall be used solely and exclusively for the provision of projects
specified in the impact fee capital improvements plan as system -related capital
projects. The City shall also maintain such records as are necessary to ensure that
refunds are appropriately made in accordance with this section.
(12) Use Of Proceeds Of Impact Fee Accounts
(a) Water and wastewater impact fees shall only be used to pay the costs of
constructing water and wastewater capital improvements or facility expansions,
including and limited to the following:
(1) Construction contract price;
(2) Subject to the provisions of subsection 395.012(b) of the Act, interest
charges, including projected interest charges, or other finance costs;
(3) Surveying and engineering fees;
(4) Land acquisition costs, including land purchases, court awards and costs,
attorney's fees and expert witness fees; and
(5) Fees actually paid or contracted to be paid to an independent qualified
engineer or financial consultant preparing or updating the capital
improvements plan who is not an employee of the City.
(b) Impact fees collected pursuant to this section shall not be used to pay for any of
the items set forth in Section 395.013 of the Act.
8
(13) Refunds
All or any portion of a water or wastewater impact fee payment that has been collected by
the City and has not been spent as authorized by this Section within ten (10) years from
the date such impact fee was collected shall be refunded pursuant to the provisions set
forth in Section 395.025 of the Act.
(14) Updates To Plan And Revisions Of Fees
The City shall review the land use assumptions and impact fee capital improvements plan
for water and wastewater facilities at least every five (5) years, with the five-year period
to commence from the date of adoption of the impact fee capital improvements plan
referenced in this section. The City Council shall accordingly make a determination of
whether changes to the land use assumptions, impact fee capital improvements plan or
impact fees are needed and shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Act,
or any successor statute, either update the fees or make a determination that no update is
necessary.

SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - October 26, 2004
ITEM: 14.A.1. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 10, Section 10.204,
Code of Ordinances, amending the Water and Wastewater
Impact Fees, and Adopting New Land Use Assumptions and
Capital Improvements Plan. (Second Reading)
Department: Water and Wastewater Utilities
Staff Person: Tom Clark, Director of Utilities
Justification:
Water and wastewater impact fees are charged to offset the cost of constructing
infrastructure to keep up with development and allow for growth to pay for itself rather than
being paid for by ratepayers.
Funding:
Cost: N/A
Source of funds: N/A
Outside Resources: Tony Bagwell, HDR Engineering
Background Information:
At least every five years, the City's land use assumptions, capital improvement plan and
water and wastewater impact fees are reviewed for possible amendment to reflect the cost
of constructing infrastructure within the City. Impact fees assist the City in paying for the
infrastructure needed by development rather than being subsidized by ratepayers. Current
fees are $2,910 for water and $1,059 for wastewater per LUE. Over the last 18 months, the
land use projections and the Water and Wastewater Master Plans have been reviewed and
updated, and maximum potential impact fees have been calculated. A report detailing such
updates and advising the City of such maximum potential fees is presented for consideration
by the City Council and an Advisory Committee comprised of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, a member from Williamson County and a non-voting member of the Home
Builders Association of Austin. The Advisory Committee met on July 7, July 27, August 4,
and August 11, 2004 to review the impact fees and make written comments to the Council.
Public Comment:
The Public will be asked to comment at the October 14, 2004 Public Hearing.

2004 UPDATE OF THE
WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES
OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK
1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
The City of Round Rock is in the process of updating its water and wastewater impact fees to
keep the fee current with newly -acquired service area and updated CIP information. This report
presents HDR Engineering, Inc.'s maximum impact fee determination for consideration by the
City's Impact Fee Advisory Committee and the Round Rock City Council.
Consistent with State law, the methodology that determines the maximum fee amount considers
for each fee component either: (1) consideration of a credit for other methods of payments for
utility capital by a new customer, such as through utility rates or taxes, or alternatively (2) a
reduction of maximum fee amount equal to 50 percent of the unit capital cost of providing new
service. By maximum amounts, this means that the determined fee amount was calculated as
the highest that can be lawfully levied by the City, given the prospective land uses and capital
improvements plan, the cost of existing and new utility capacity, and consideration of a credit to
new customers for capital contributions made through rate payments. The City Council can
decide to enact fees less than the maximum amounts shown in this report.
As detailed later in this report, the maximum impact fees were developed in component pieces.
For instance, the overall water fee is comprised of separate amounts for water supply,
treatment, pumping, elevated storage, ground storage, and transmission. This will facilitate the
consideration of offsets or credits from the applicable fee if a developer builds and dedicates
eligible facilities to the City or the City provides wholesale service to a neighboring utility and
wishes to charge only certain portions of the fee. The maximum fee amounts do not include
capital costs for any donated facilities provided by developers at their own expense.
Planning, service demand, and design factors assumptions used in the water and wastewater
facility sizing and costing were developed by HDR and CDM engineers, respectively. Data on
current utility demand, existing utility assets, outstanding utility debt and prospective cash
versus debt financing were obtained from or coordinated with the City of Round Rock staff.
HDR combined these elements into the maximum impact fee calculations presented in this
report.

The City's future ETJ was used as the primary basis for the impact fee service area of the City
shown in Figure 1. This fee application area boundary will comprise the area in which Round
Rock may levy the impact fees, in -part or in -full, if City service is provided. This boundary does
not, however, imply a legal obligation of the City of Round Rock to serve beyond its
incorporated limits. If the City does not provide service, in full or in -part, then the impact fees
would not apply.

Table 1 provides an estimate of the current and future land use patterns of the potential service
area with information obtained from the City of Round Rock. As indicated, about 72% of total
City area is currently in residential land uses with 18% in commercial/industrial land uses and
9% in various open space or floodplain land uses.

Source: City of Round Rock, 2004. Does not include acres for mining.
Assume 2013 water use rates at 90 % buildout of: 1,800 gals per new residential acre.
2,850 gals per new commercial acre.
1,300 gals per new public acre.
Over time as the City grows into its future ETJ and utility service area, developed land areas will
both increase and become a higher percentage of overall land uses. Projected residential land
uses are expected to decease slightly to 70% of total potential service land area with non-
residential and open space/floodplain shares of total land use growing slightly to 19% and 10%
of total land area, respectively.
The current 2004 water service area population is estimated at about 96,093 persons. A
projected water service area population of about 145,260 persons is anticipated by the end of
2013, reflecting an anticipated 10 -year growth of about 51%.

4.0 CURRENT AND PROJECTED UTILITY DEMAND AND SUPPLY
Table 2 relates the number of water and wastewater utility connections by water meter size and
what is termed a Living Unit Equivalent (or LUE) conversion factor for meters of varying sizes.
A typical single family residential house in Round Rock uses a 5/8" water meter and is
considered to be one LUE. Based on American Water Works Association standards, the
equivalent number of 5/8" meters can be determined for water meters of larger size. In this
manner, meters of larger size (i.e. larger potential service demands) can be couched in terms
the equivalent demand of a number of typical single family homes. For this reason, the LUE
concept is a useful tool for being able to apply a base fee amount to service requests of varying
meter sizes.

Tables 3 and 4 summarize the City's current and projected water and wastewater service
demands and existing supply (service) capabilities by facility. Current and future service
demands are also compared with the existing service capacity of the utility systems.
Water demand was forecast using population forecasts from the City Planning Department,
meter count/LUE estimates from the City Utility Billing Section, and a dry -year per capita water
use statistic used the Texas Water Development Board and the Regional Water Planning Group
in their water supply planning efforts. Wastewater demand was forecast using historical data
and technical studies of the City system.
With the anticipated rapid growth of the City and surrounding area, potable water utility demand
in certain service areas is expected to exceed the available capacity of raw and treated water
supply, pumping, elevated and ground storage, and transmission during the planning period.
Additional facilities need was also identified for wastewater treatment, pumping, and
interceptors within the future10-year period.

5.0 INDENTIFIED MAJOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS AND COSTS
Given the projected growth in water and wastewater demands, existing capacity, and the
modeling of additional infrastructure needs, various additional facilities have been identified to
help meet the needs for the next ten years. In year 2004 dollars, the City's 10 -year capital need
for new capacity totals about $100 million for water and $50 for wastewater. Maps of the
proposed water and wastewater capital improvements to the City -owned utility systems can be
found in Attachment A.
The projected rapid growth of City has necessitated the need for major water supply and
treatment projects. The City's near-term implementation of the Lake Stillhouse Hollow water
supply will only last the City for a limited period of time. As shown in Table 5, some additional
near-term improvements are still needed to make full use of the Stillhouse supply by 2010. It is
then forecast that a new water supply from Lake Travis will be required at that time to meet the
additional water demands during the remainder of the 10 -year planning period. Related water
treatment plant, water storage, and pumping improvements are also identified associated with
the new Lake Travis supply. The ultimate cost of the Lake Travis supply system will depend on
several factors, including more advanced design estimates, whether the City assumes an equity
role in the project and which facilities are built at ultimate capacity and which are phased and at
what size. The costs shown in Table 5 for the Lake Travis supply assume maximum economies
of scale with full development of the City contracted water supply from this source.
As indicated in Tables 4 and 6, the City has exceeded its existing contracted share of the
Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant capacity and is currently being allowed to
use un -used capacity reserved for other participants. The current need for additional capacity,
as well as the project additional capacity needs of the next ten years, is necessitating a major
expansion of the plant and a major wastewater conveyance tunnel.
Tables 5 and 6 show the details related to the existing capacity of the water and wastewater
systems and proposed new facilities along with their cost, capacity, unit cost, and allocation of
existing and projected demand to these facilities. A weighted unit cost of service ($ per LUE) is
then calculated by facility type based on the proportionate share of use of existing and new
facility capacity by the growth anticipated over the next ten years.

6.0 CONSIDERATION OF OTHER METHODS OF CAPITAL PAYMENT
For utilities that charge an impact
fee, the new customer generally
pays for capital in two ways: (1)
initially through the up -front impact
fee, and (2) over the longer-term
through utility rate payments,
where typically some portion of
customer rate payments also
funds capital projects.
The recent 77th Texas Legislature
amended Chapter 395 of the Local
Government to require either: (1) a
calculated credit for rate payments
be reflected in the fee amount, or
(2) a credit equal to 50 percent of
the total projected cost of the
._ capital improvements plan be
given in calculating the maximum
fee amount.
Table 7 indicates the estimated
cost per LUE that is projected to
be borne in the utility rates by the
average new customer. The rate
credit calculation considered: (a)
existing capital obligation to
wholesale providers, (b) existing
debt (c) future debt payments

7.0 ALTERNATIVE IMPACT FEE CALCULATIONS
Table 9 summarizes the unit capital cost of providing new service and the two alternative credit
calculations for new customers. The alternative approach that calculates a specific rate credit
(Option A) results in the maximum impact fee calculation of $4,296 per LUE for water and
$1,306 per LUE for wastewater, totaling $5,602 per LUE.
As can be seen, the alternative 50% of capital cost method for calculating a rate credit (Option
B) results in a lesser water impact fee of $2,184 per LUE and wastewater fee of $1,115 per
LUE, yielding an overall $3,303 per LUE.

The fee methodology was replicated for each major facility type in the utility system (ex. Supply,
treatment, pumping, elevated storage, ground storage and transmission) so that the total fee
amount is the sum of the component facility fees. This provides a basis for extending the fee to
wholesale customers of the City or granting fee offsets if a developer cost -participates with the
City on CIP projects.
