Title: Consideration and Possible Approval of a revision to the Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Associated Impact Fees for Impact Fee Service Area Number 1.

Petitioner/Presenter: John A. Martini, P.E. Assistant Community Services Director/John A. Martini, P.E. Assistant Community Services Director

Recommendation: The Capital Improvement Advisory Committee and City Staff recommend that the City Council approve the revised land use assumptions, capital improvements plan and associated Impact Fees for Impact Fee Service Area Number 1.

Financial Impact: There are no direct financial impacts associated with this update.

Business Impact (Per NRS 237):
A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.

Agenda Item Brief: The purpose of this item is to conduct a periodic check of the land use and capital improvements plan included in Impact Fee Service Area Number 1 and update those assumptions as needed to determine the amount of impact fees per development unit. With respect to land use assumptions, Staff performed a comprehensive analysis of the approved land uses for each property within the boundary of Impact Fee Service Area Number 1. The results of the analysis indicate that the full build out potential within Impact Fee Service Area #1 is 27,517 development units. As of December 30,2012, 10522 development units had been permitted leaving 16,995 development units available for future developments. A summary of the land use assumptions for Impact Fee Service Area Number 1 are presented on pages 5 and 6 of the Bowling Mamola report, attached for the City Council's review. The Capital Improvements Plan for the provision of Sanitary Sewer, Flood Control, Parks and Recreation and Fire Station improvements to support the master planned land uses within Impact Fee Service Area #1 are presented on pages 7-19 of the Bowling Mamola report. The report includes an analysis of both existing and future Capital Improvement facilities for each of the infrastructure categories as well as the basis for allocation of costs for each land use type. The recommended Impact Fees for the land use assumptions and capital improvements included in IFSA#1 are summarized on page 20 of the Bowling Mamola report. The result was a largely similar capital plan spread out over more development units that produced a general decrease in the impact fee per development unit.

Background: Please see the staff reports for the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) and the reports of action for more information.

Analysis: Please see the staff reports for the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) and the reports of action for more information.

Alternatives: The City Council may elect not to approve of the update and provide the City Manager with alternate direction.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the land use assumptions, capital improvement program and impact fees associated with Impact Fee Service Area Number 1, based on the finding that the land use assumptions are in conformance with the Master Plan land use designations, and set a July 1, 2013, implementation date for imposition of the revised impact fees.
