Austin City Code § 25-6-662 ASSESSMENT OF STREET IMPACT FEES.

§ 25-6-662 - ASSESSMENT OF STREET IMPACT FEES. (A) Assessment of the street impact fee for any new development shall occur: (1) on December 21, 2020, if the final plat approval occurred before December 21, 2020; (2) at the time of final plat approval if the development has not received plat approval; or (3) at the time an application is submitted for a building permit for development that is exempted from platting under Section 25-4-2 (Exemption from Platting Requirements). (B) For a development that has been assessed a street impact fee under Section 25-6-662(A)(1), the street impact fee shall be reassessed if the owner submits a new application for plat approval. (C) An application for an amended plat shall not be subject to reassessment for an impact fee. (D) All assessments of street impact fees shall be the amount of the maximum street impact fee per service unit as set forth in adopted street impact fee study in effect. (E) The amount of the maximum street impact fee for a new development, less any applicable percentage reduction in fees attributable to internal recapture, transit proximity, or parking management techniques under Section 25-6-667 (Mobility Related Reductions), may be considered by the director's designated engineer as an appropriate measure of the new development's demand for roadway system facilities under Section 25-6-23 (Proportionality of Required Infrastructure). The amount of street impact fees assessed may be used in evaluating any claim by an applicant that the infrastructure improvements required in conjunction with approval of the development application are not roughly proportionate to the proposed development. To the extent that the street impact fee collected from a new development is less than the maximum impact fee per service unit, except for reductions under Section 25-6-667 (Mobility Related Reductions), such difference hereby is declared to be founded on policies unrelated to measurement of the impacts of the new development on the City's roadway system.

§ 25-6-663 - AMOUNT OF FEE: COLLECTION RATE.

The street impact fee to be collected may be increased by ordinance prior to the next scheduled street impact fee update without amending the street impact fee study, provided that the impact fee to be collected does not exceed the street impact fee that was assessed. (B) A street impact fee shall be collected at the time of the issuance of a building permit. (C) The city manager may enter into an agreement with a developer for a different time and manner of payment of street impact fees. Source: Ord. No. 20201210-062, Pt. 2, 12-21-20.

Austin City Code § 25-6-664 COMPUTATION OF IMPACT FEES TO BE COLLECTED.

§ 25-6-664 - COMPUTATION OF IMPACT FEES TO BE COLLECTED. (A) The City shall compute the amount of street impact fees to be paid and collected for new development in the following manner: (1) Determine the number of development units for each land use category using the LUVMET then in effect. (2) Multiply the number of development units for each land use category in the new development by the service unit for each corresponding land use category in the LUVMET to determine the number of service units attributable to the new development. (3) Multiply the number of service units for the new development by the street impact fee per service unit to be collected for the applicable service area and applicable land use. (B) If an agreement as described in City Code Section 25-6-669 (Offsets Against Street Impact Fees) providing for offsets exists, the amount of the offsets shall be deducted from the street impact fees as calculated above. (C) If the applicant proposes to increase the number of service units for a development that has already paid a street impact fee, the additional street impact fees collected for such new service units shall be determined by using the LUVMET. (D) Any additional street impact fees shall be measured by the increase in the number of service units proposed from the number of service units from the preceding land use within the last five years. (E) If a building permit application is for a speculative building, the amount of the street impact fee shall be calculated assuming that the entire building will be used as either "General Office", "Light Industrial", or "Shopping Center" as shown in the LUVMET. When a subsequent application for a building permit is submitted, an additional street impact fee shall be calculated if the proposed use results in an increase of service units. Source: Ord.
