Subtask C.2: Evaluate Internal Area Boundary Alternatives • Based on the location of future development and the location of selected street capacity improvement projects, identify up to two internal fee boundary alternatives that meet criteria for a rational nexus. For each boundary alternative, use the select link data to determine each project's percentage of traffic attributable to each internal area, and the percentage attributable to through traffic. Subtask C.3: Identify Fee Levels Supported by Nexus Analysis For each boundary alternative, calculate fee levels in each area as follows: • Apply the traffic percentages determined in C.2.2 to the cost of each improvement to determine the fair -share of cost attributable to each area. • Total the fair -share costs of projects for each area. • Calculate the per -trip fee for each area, and convert the per -trip fee into a fee per equivalent single family unit. Subtask C.4: Compare with Traffic Fees in Other Jurisdictions Survey nearby peer Cities with development impact fees for street capacity improvements, and compare fee levels for different types of land use. • Prepare technical memorandum. Subtask C.5: Draft Ordinances • Recommend a boundary alternative and a fee level that is both technically justified and reasonable. Consult with the City staff, and develop consensus recommendation on a boundary alternative and fee level. • Prepare the technical portion of the ordinances to be adopted by the City. Task C Deliverables and Meetings • Prepare a technical memorandum that presents the consultant's fee program recommendations and supporting information developed in Subtasks C.1 through CA. An electronic version in .pdf format will be submitted on CD with a printed label. A meeting with City staff to develop consensus on boundary alternatives to be studied. • A meeting in with members of the development community (after Subtasks C.3 and C.4) to share information on fee levels supported by the nexus analysis and fee levels in other jurisdictions and solicit input on the appropriate boundary structure and fee level. • A meeting with City staff to review the consultant's fee program recommendations and develop consensus on the recommendations to be forwarded to the City Council. Task D: Prepare Report A report will be prepared to document the methodology, assumptions, data, analysis, conclusions, and recommendations of the study. The draft report will be based on the technical memoranda prepared for Tasks A. B, and C. An Executive Summary will be included to provide elected officials an understanding of the process, assumptions, methodology, conclusions, and recommendations without the technical detail. The Final Report will incorporate responses to comments from the City on the draft report.
