in Exhibit A. For assessments made in accordance with Article 6, Section (a)(1),
service units that received a building permit prior to October 14, 2014 shall be
excluded when computing the impact fees.
(2) The amount of each impact fee due shall be reduced by any allowable credits for
that category of capital improvements in the manner provided by this Ordinance.
(c) Whenever a property owner proposes to increase the number of service units for a new
development, the additional impact fees collected for such new service units shall be
determined by using the amount of impact fee per service unit in Exhibit A then in effect,
and such additional fee shall be collected at the time of issuance of a new building
permit.
Article 8. Credits against impact fees.
(a) Any construction or contributions to or dedications of any area - related facility appearing
in the capital improvements plan that is required to be constructed by a property owner as
a condition of new development shall be credited against the impact fees otherwise due

when no impact fees for the new development can be collected pursuant to city
ordinance or for any amount exceeding the total impact fees due for the new
development for the category of capital improvement, unless otherwise agreed to
by the city.
(c) The available credit associated with new development shall be applied against an impact
fee in the following manner:
For single - family residential lots in a new development consisting only of single -
family residential development, such credit shall be prorated equally among such
lots, to be applied at the time of application of a building permit for each lot,
against impact fees to be collected at the time the building permit is issued.
(2) For all other types of new development, including those involving mixed uses, the
credit applicable to the new development shall be applied to the impact fee due at
the time of approval.
(3) At its sole discretion, the city may authorize alternative credit agreements upon
written agreement with the property owner in accordance with the city's
administrative guidelines.

the city has, after collecting the impact fee when service was not available, failed to
commence construction within two (2) years or service is not available within a
reasonable period considering the type of improvement or expansion, but in no event later
than five (5) years from the date of payment; shall be refunded to the record owner of the
property for which the impact fee was paid or, if the impact fee was paid by another
governmental entity, to such governmental entity, together with interest calculated from
the date of payment to the date of refund at the statutory rate as set forth in the Texas
Finance Code, Section 302.002, or its successor statute. The application for refund
pursuant to this article shall be submitted within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the
ten -year period for expenditure of the fee. An impact fee shall be considered expended on
a first -in, first -out basis.
(b) An impact fee collected pursuant to this Ordinance shall also be considered expended if

Updated Thoroughfare Impact Fee Ordinance Page 8 of 12
654928.2
for such improvements or expansions during such period.
(c) If a refund is due pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), the city shall divide the difference
between the amount of expenditures and the amount of the fees collected by the total
number of service units assumed within the service area for the period to determine the
refund due per service unit. The refund to the record owner shall be calculated by
multiplying the refund due per service unit by the number of service units for the
development for which the fee was paid, and interest due shall be calculated upon that
amount.
(d) Upon completion of all the capital improvements or facility expansions identified in the
capital improvements plan for the service area, the city shall recalculate the impact fee
per service unit using the actual costs for the improvements or expansions. If the impact
fee per service unit based on actual cost is less than the impact fee per service unit paid,
the city shall refund the difference, if such difference exceeds the impact fee paid by
more than ten (10) percent. If the difference is less than ten (10) percent, no refund shall
be due. The refund to the record owner shall be calculated by multiplying such difference
by the number of service units for the development for which the fee was paid, and
interest due shall be calculated upon that amount.
Article 12. Updates to elan and revision of fees.
(a) The city shall update its land use assumptions and capital improvements plans at least
every five (5) years, commencing from the date of adoption of such plans, and shall recalculate
the impact fees based thereon in accordance with the procedures set forth in Texas Local
Government Code Chapter 395 or in any successor statute.
(b) The city may review its land use assumptions, impact fees, capital improvements plans
and other factors such as market conditions more frequently than provided in subsection (a) to
determine whether the land use assumptions and capital improvements plan should be
updated and the impact fee recalculated accordingly, or whether any Exhibit(s) hereto
should be changed.
(c) If, at the time an update is required pursuant to subsection (a), the city council determines
that no change to the land use assumptions, capital improvements plan or impact fee is
needed, it may dispense with such update by following the procedures in Texas Local
Government Code Section 395.0575 or its successor statute.
(d) In addition to the reviews required by this Article, the city shall also conduct the reviews
required by Article 4, Impact Fees Adopted for Thoroughfares, above.
Article 13. Use of other financing mechanisms.

improvements plan through the issuance of bonds, through the formation of public utility
districts or other assessment districts, or through any other authorized mechanism, in such
Ordinance No. 2014 -35

manner and subject to such limitations as may be provided by law, in addition to the use
of impact fees.

be additional and supplemental to, and not in substitution of, any other tax, fee, charge or
assessment which is lawfully imposed on and due against the property.

CITY OF WYLIE
THOROUGHFARE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
ROADWAY IMPACT FEES
The first step in the development impact fee process is the development of a 10-year Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). This capital improvement plan includes projects intended for
construction by the City of Wylie in the next 10 years to serve existing and future development.
Existing Facilities
The City of Wylie arterial and major collector street system is partially developed at this time.
Several roadways in developed areas are partially built to current thoroughfare plan standards.
Many existing streets are two-lane (20’ - 40’ width) asphalt roadways with open surface drainage.
The existing major arterial roadways within the City include State Highway 78 (SH 78), FM 544,
FM 1378, Ballard Avenue, Brown Street, and Stone Road. Several of the arterial roadways
including SH 78 and FM 544 are under the operation and maintenance jurisdiction of the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
Proposed Facilities
The City of Wylie adopted a revised Comprehensive Plan in 2012 and an updated thoroughfare plan
in 2014 that is the basis for development of the future street system. The thoroughfare system is a
conventional network conforming to a hierarchical, functional classification system developed to
support the forecast traffic demands of future land use.
The highest classification of roadway is the Principal Thoroughfare type facility. These roadways
are generally multiple lanes (4 or 6) with medians that serve the function of controlling access,
separating opposing traffic movements and providing an area for the storage of left turning vehicles.
The lower classifications are the collector facilities that are developed to serve the adjoining
development. The character of the developments served should determine the sizes and alignments
of collector roadways.

Capital Improvement Plan for Roadway Impact Fees
The thoroughfare facilities determined for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan of this study
Table 1AFigure 1
are tabulated in and graphically illustrated in . Each listed project includes a
description of the planned improvements, the approximate project length, and an engineer’s opinion
of probable cost to the City. In addition, under existing State Statute, a municipalities’ cost
associated with TxDOT facilities can be financed with impact fees. All roadways included in the
2014 CIP are identified in the City of Wylie Thoroughfare Plan. Recoupment costs for projects
Table 1B Figure 1
completed as part of the previous CIP are shown in and are also illustrated in .
The engineer’s opinions of probable construction cost were prepared without the benefit of a
detailed preliminary engineering study for each project. The costs are based on data provided by
the City of Wylie and on roadway project construction bids. Financing costs for the projects in the
thoroughfare CIP were also included in the total estimated cost and the interest rate of 5% was
provided by the City of Wylie.

IMPACT FEE CALCULATION
I.INTRODUCTION
The next step of the Development Impact Fee process is the determination of the maximum
fee per service unit that can be charged by the City for new developments. The fee is
calculated by dividing the costs of the capital improvements identified as necessary to serve
growth forecast to occur during the 10-year planning period by the number of service units of
growth forecast to occur. The specific steps, as described in following paragraphs of this
section include:
1.Determination of a standard service unit;
2.Identification of service areas for the City;
3.Identification of that portion of the total capital improvements necessary to serve the
projected growth over the next 10-year period;
4.Analysis of the total capacity, level of current usage, and commitment for usage of
capacity of existing improvements;
5.Determination of the “standard service unit” and equivalency tables establishing the ratio
of a service unit to the types of land use forecast for growth.
II.SERVICE UNIT
To determine the impact fee rate applied to thoroughfare facilities the standard service unit
“PM Peak Hour Vehicle-Miles.”
selected was This service unit can be obtained by
multiplying the number of trips generated by a specific land use type during the PM peak
hour (vehicles) by the average trip length (miles) for that land use. The PM peak hour was
chosen because it is usually considered the critical time for roadway analyses. The trip
generation data were directly obtained or derived for each defined land use type from “Trip
th
Generation Manual, 9 Edition” of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, which is the
standard data reference to determine vehicle trip generation characteristics of particular land
use types and densities. Trip length information for each land use specified was based on data
developed for the Dallas-Fort Worth area by the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG). The trip length was set at a maximum of three (3) miles for any
land use, as this trip length was assumed to be the maximum average distance a trip would

service units for each land use type.

SERVICE AREAS
The State Statute governing the imposition of development impact fees require that collection
and expenditure of fees imposed for street facilities “...is limited to an area within the
corporate boundaries of the political subdivision and shall not exceed six miles.” To comply
with this State Law, two service areas (West and East) were established for the City of Wylie
to ensure that funds are spent within six miles of where they are collected. The service areas
include most of the developable land within the city limits of Wylie. Within Wylie, the
growth and intensities of growth for the ultimate development of the City and that portion of
the service area expected to occur during the 10-year period, 2014-2024, is forecast. The two
Figure 1
service areas were shown in .
III.ASSUMPTIONS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA
Determination of the eligible costs of capital improvements to serve the forecast growth over
the 10-year period from 2014 to 2024 was based on data provided by the City of Wylie. The
basic criteria and assumptions made for this study include the following:
1.Costs of existing facilities constructed to serve new development have been included, and
City of Wylie staff identified projects of this type.
2.Bond interest costs are included.
3.Street facility improvements, although necessary for additional capacity by new growth,
will logically serve all existing and future growth by improved safety and drainage
characteristics. Therefore, the 10-year eligible costs have been proportioned as the ratio
of the 10-year growth to the total number of service units determined for the build-out.
Table 3
shows the portion of ultimate build-out service units that will be attributable to
growth within the next 10 years and is used to pro-rate the identified costs in the service area.
In order to maintain the equity of impact fee assessment, the cost for streets included in the
10-year Capital Improvement Plan will include the total cost of the street facilities, not
reduced by any expected participation. Rather, construction by a developer of an arterial
facility within or off-site should be treated as a credit to the impact fee assessment.

ELIGIBLE COSTS
Table 4
presents a summary of the roadway capital improvement costs for the two service
Table 3
areas. The 10-year portion of the total costs was calculated using the data from .
Costs of each of the individual street projects were accumulated, or apportioned, for the
service area in which they were located. Boundaries of the service areas were located to be
coincident with natural barriers, the center of existing or proposed street facilities included in
the capital improvements plan or along city limit lines. Costs of these projects included only
those costs that will be paid for by the City of Wylie.
IV.DETERMINATION OF STANDARD SERVICE UNIT AND EQUIVALENCY
The determination of growth of service units and resulting impact fee rates were then made.
Table 5
presents the derivation of service unit equivalents for each of the six defined land use
types. The service unit equivalents are referenced to and based on the residential land use.
Table 6
presents a summary of the calculations and resulting eligible costs per service unit.
Under current State law, municipalities are required to administer a detailed financial analysis
to support the use of an impact fee higher than 50 percent of the eligible costs. As an
alternative to performing the financial analysis, the impact fee can be set at or below 50
percent of the total eligible costs. The total eligible costs per service unit are shown in
Table 6
. The City will use either a detailed financial analysis to adjust for tax credits or will
use 50 percent of these eligible costs.
V.IMPACT FEE CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
The methodology for calculating the maximum allowable impact fee for roadway facilities
can be summarized in the following three steps. First, determine the cost of the roadway
facilities (existing roadways eligible for recuperation of construction cost and proposed
roadways) that can be attributed to new growth over the 10-year period. This calculation for
Service Areas W and E are summarized on pages 14 and 15.

City of Wylie – 2014 Roadway Impact Fee Update Page 13
Calculation for Service Area W
Cost of Roadway Facilities (Tables 1A and 1B - Service Area W) = $95,566,342.00
Proportion of Capacity Attributable to New Growth (Table 3 - Service Area W) = 0.066
Cost of Roadway Facilities Attributable to Growth (2014-2024 - Service Area W):
$95,566,342.00 x 0.066 = $6,307,378.57
The second step is to determine the maximum calculated impact fee. The maximum calculated
impact fee is the ratio of the total cost for roadway facilities attributable to growth in the next ten
years (2014-2024) divided by the total growth in equivalent service units (ESU). The maximum
calculated impact fee for Service Area W is:
Maximum Roadway Impact Fee = Eligible Thoroughfare Cost Attributed to Growth (Table 4)
Total Growth in Equivalent Service Units (Table 3)
= $6,307,378.57
4,255 ESU
= $1,482.35 / ESU = $1,482 / ESU (Rounded Service Area W)
This amount represents the maximum calculated impact fee for roadway facilities. For the final
step, the current impact fee legislation requires the City to produce a financial analysis to support
a fee greater than 50 percent of the eligible costs or to reduce the maximum calculated impact fee
by 50 percent. If the City chooses to use a maximum allowable impact fee of 50 percent of the
maximum calculated fee the amount would be $1,482 x 50% = $741.00.
Calculation for Service Area E
Cost of Roadway Facilities (Tables 1A and 1B - Service Area E) = $172,380,939.75
Proportion of Capacity Attributable to New Growth (Table 3 - Service Area E) = 0.166
Cost of Roadway Facilities Attributable to Growth (2014-2024 - Service Area E):
$172,380,939.75 x 0.166 = $28,615,236.00
City of Wylie – 2014 Roadway Impact Fee Update Page 14
The second step is to determine the maximum calculated impact fee. The maximum calculated
impact fee is the ratio of the total cost for roadway facilities attributable to growth in the next ten
years (2014-2024) divided by the total growth in equivalent service units (ESU). The maximum
calculated impact fee for Service Area E is:
Maximum Roadway Impact Fee = Eligible Thoroughfare Cost Attributed to Growth (Table 4)
Total Growth in Equivalent Service Units (Table 3)
= $28,615,236.00
7,040 ESU
= $4,064.66 / ESU = $4,064 / ESU (Rounded Service Area E)
This amount represents the maximum calculated impact fee for roadway facilities. For the final
step, the current impact fee legislation requires the City to produce a financial analysis to support
a fee greater than 50 percent of the eligible costs or to reduce the maximum calculated impact fee
by 50 percent. If the City chooses to use a maximum allowable impact fee of 50 percent of the
maximum calculated fee the amount would be $4,064 x 50% = $2,032.00.
Impact Fee Calculation Example
Table 7
The land use equivalency table is provided in . This table identifies the total service units
generated by specific uses within each land use category. To obtain the impact fee to be charged
for a particular land use, the impact fee per service unit adopted by the City and the service units
