Ch s toisted prese ted a s rnmary of City of Wylie thoro ghfare impact fees in terms of why
we charge impact fees and how the fee is calculated. Further, Mr. Hoisted reviewed tHe types of
capital projects which are funded by i pact fees and the technical process by which the Wylie
City Council can waive those fees and reimburse ievelopers for privately funded CIP roadway
projects with collected thoroughfare i pact fees.
The bard as a whole agreed that there is a perceived inequity in the amount charged in the east
zone versus the west zone being that the east zo, e is 40% higher. Staff pointed out that while
there is perceived i equity, the calc lation of the fee for each zone is exactly equitable based
upon the uniform calculations and proposed land use within each zone. Mr. Fuller suggested a
possible adjustme t to the fees within the existing zones or possibly reconfiguring the zones so
there is not su& a wide variance between the fees assessed in each area.
