RELATING TO THE POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF IMPACT FEES
FEBRUARY 29, 1996
POPULATION:
The City of Round Rock and its environs have grown significantly over the past
three years and can be expected to continue this rapid rate of growth in the
foreseeable future.
During the economic slump of the late 1980s and early 1990s the growth of the City
slowed significantly from the rapid pace which occurred in the mid 1980s. The
population of the city was estimated to be 32,117 in January 1989. This increased
by approximately three percent [3%1 per year between 1989 and 1993. Since that
time growth has increased significantly. The following is the estimated population
and rate of growth experienced over the last three years.
DATE
POPULATION GROWTH RATE
April 1993 36,140
April 1994 39,455 8.4%
April 1995 41,630 5.2%
Jan. 1996 43,445 ( 9 mo.) 5.6% (12 mo.)
The average growth rate of 5.4 % over the last two years can be expected to
continue over the next three years. The growth rate over the next seven years is
projected to be closer to the average growth rate of 4.3% over the last eight years.
While each annual increase will vary these growth rates would result in the
following projected populations:
1997 45,791 2002 57,718
1998 48,264 2003 60,200
1999 50,870 2004 62,788
2000 53,057 2005 65,488
2001 55,338 2006 68,204
The total number of single family residences, within the service area, permitted
during the last three years is 3585. In addition there were 59 commercial permits, 2
multifamily permits and 25 duplex permits issued during this period.
SERVICE AREA
The Service area for the development of Land Use Assumptions is the City of Round
Rock, the ETJ, and areas outside the ETJ which contract utility service with the
City. The Round Rock ETJ has increased by 540 acres. This consist of several
parcels along the southern boundary of the ETJ which are being released from the
Page 1
Austin ETJ. The projected land uses for these areas is predominantly commercial
and industrial.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
The City has approved Planned Unit Developments which amended the General
Plan. These effectivly transfered 350 acres from residential use to industrial use.
CONTRACTS OUTSIDE THE ETJ
The City of Round Rock has contracts to provide water for two municipal Utility
Districts which lie partially outside of the ETJ. These are the Brushy Creek MUD
and the Fern Bluff MUD.
Chapter 395.001 (c) or the Texas Local Government Code permits a municipality to
contract to provide capital improvements to areas outside of its ETJ and may
charge impact fees for water under the contract.
The Brushy Creek MUD contains 2,210 acres, of which 465 are within the Round
Rock ETJ. This leaves 1,715 acres to be served by contract.
The Fern Bluff MUD contains 695 acres, of which 6 lie within the Round Rock ETJ.
This leaves 689 acres to be served by contract.
Land use assumptions for these areas will be determined primarily by the
limitations of the contracts. Both contracts prohibit industrial uses.
Brushy Creek MUD
The Brushy Creek MUD contract provides for 6,200 Living Unit Equivalents
(LUEs). The portion of these LUEs for the 1,715 acres which lie outside of the
Round Rock ETJ is 5,100 LUEs.
While the MUD contract does not identify or reference specific acres for the
permitted residential, commercial and institutional land uses, it does effectively state
the number of LUEs permitted and the formula for calculating LUEs for various
non -industrial land uses.
Since the LUE will be the common definitive unit used to determine total demand, it
will be used to establish the total demand generated by the combined land uses
permitted in this MUD.
Page 2
Fern Bluff MUD
The Fern Bluff MUD contract restricts development to that outlined in the
Preliminary Engineering Report dated June 1985. This includes 2,934 residential
units and 28 acres of commercial development. This report identifies a total of 2,970
LUEs. The 6 acres of this MUD which lie within the Round Rock ETJ will become
part of Arterial Two and will not generate any demand for water or wastewater
services. Therefore, the total 2,970 LUEs is attributed to development outside the
Round Rock ETJ.
The following number of single family building permits have been issued for the two
Municipal Utility Districts which are served with Round Rock utilities but lie
outside of the current ETJ:
1995-96 1994-95 1993-94
Fern Bluff 49 40 1
Brushy Cr. 40 192 179
Other Contracts
A variety of small contracts provide water to specific sites outside of the ETJ to
serve existing development. These do not provide for servicing future development
and will not be considered in the Land Use Assumptions.
LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS:
The distribution of land uses, in the 1990 General Plan, for the City and its entire
ETJ were projected to be distributed as follows:
Commercial 10%
Industrial 18%
Residential 48%
Park & open space 17%
Institutional 07%
An additional 2,470 acres is used for mining but is excluded from these numbers
because it does not require water and wastewater utilities from the City.
This results in the following projected distribution of Land uses, for the City and its
and its entire ETJ, in acres ( excluding mining). These acreage's include prorated
street rights of way.

Commercial 3,401 acres
Industrial 6,373 acres
Residential 16,798 acres
Park/open space 6,050 acres
Institutional 2,360 acres

Therefore, it is recommended that the forgoing land uses, as outlined in the Round
Rock General Plan 1990, together with the LUE calculations for portions of the
Brushy Creek MUD and the Fern Bluff MUD which lie outside of the Round Rock
ETJ, be adopted as the LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS RELATING TO POSSIBLE
ADOPTION OF IMPACT FEES as required by Chapter 395 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
These Land Use Assumptions will be the subject of a public hearing on May 9, 1996
and will be available for review by the public in the offices of the Planning and

commencing March 21.1996.

CHAPTER 395
WATER IMPROVEMENTS
a.3 Description of Capital Improvements or Facility Expansions attributable to new
development in service area.
PROJECTS:
1. Existing Safe Yield Water Well Capacity - 4 MGD + Existing Water Treatment Plant - 15
MGD + 6 MGD Plant (soon to be under construction) = 25 MGD capacity; Existing
Demand (Year 1996) for 50,694 persons = 22,812,300 GPD. In 1996, with the water
supply improvements shown above all ofthe 25 MGD capacity shall be used by customers
in 1996 except for 2,187,700 GPD. (25 MGD - 22,812,300 GPD). This excess capacity
can supply water for 1,620 LUEs. The total water supply of 25 MGD can serve 18,518
LUEs (25 MGD _ 1,350 GPD per LUE). The new 6 MGD Plant can serve 4444 LUEs
(6 MGD _ 1,350 GPD per LUE).
2. To serve customers in the 10 year growth period, additional plant capacity will be required.
Add 11.206 (minimum) MGD Water Treatment Plant for 8,301 LUEs [26,819 LUEs (Year
2006) - 18,518 LUEs (Existing Plants can serve) = 8,301 LUEs.]
Added Capacity 11.206 MGD
Total Water Supply Capacity: 36.206 MGD (25 MGD + 11.206 MGD)
3. 30" Raw Water Line from Lake Georgetown to existing Water Treatment Plant is under
construction:
Added Capacity: 18 MGD
Total Water Supply Capacity: 40 MGD [36 MGD (2-30" raw water lines) +
4 MGD (water wells)]

CHAPTER 395
WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS
a.3 Description of Capital Improvements or Facility Expansions attributable to new
development in service area.
1. Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Capacity
Existing West WWTP (3 MGD) plus expanded (under construction) East WWTP (6.8 MGD)
will have total a capacity of 9.8 MGD which can serve 98,000 persons or 32,667 LUEs. An
additional 47,306 persons pi 15,768 LUEs [98,000 persons - 50,694 persons (1996
population) = 47,306 persons] can be served beyond the existing year 1996 population when
the East WWTP expansion is complete.
Note 1: Williamson County MUD No. 2 is not a Round Rock wastewater customer
at the present time.
Note 2: Texas Water Commission rules allow only 90% of the wastewater plant
capacity to be utilized prior to additional wastewater plant capacity being
provided.
2. Wastewater Collection Capacity:
The Brushy Creek WCID #1 of Williamson and Milam Counties (District) has established a
wastewater collection system fee of $944 per LUEs for all customers of that district. Since
the City of Round Rock is a customer of the district, a payment by Round Rock of $944. per
LUEs is required for each customer that the City connects to the District's collection system.
This LUEs fee is comprised of $99.50 per LUEs for "common" costs due to the oversizing
of certain components of the original East Wastewater Treatment Plant construction and
$844.50 (round to $845.) per LUEs for `Wastewater Collection System" costs.
(Note: Preliminary capital cost for "common" oversizing costs and for the Brushy Creek
Regional Wastewater Collection System costs were developed in a September 1988 `Brushy
Creek Regional Wastewater System Facility Plan" prepared by Camp, Dresser and McKee,
Inc., Consulting Engineers. The LUEs fee of $944. was then determined by the Brushy Creek
WCID No. 1 of Williamson and Milam Counties based on a build -out of the proposed system
in that facility plan.)
