§ 33E-7. Road impact fee formula.

(a)

The feepayer shall pay a road impact fee amount based on the formula set forth below. Such fee will be based on the capital cost of roadway improvements required to serve any increase in transportation requirements resulting from proposed development activities together with impact fee administrative costs. The formula to be used to calculate the road impact fee shall be as follows:

(1)

Total Trips = Proposed Units of Development × Trip Generation Rate × 97% Trips Non-transit × 1/2 × Percent New Trips

(2)

(Outside UIA) New Lane Miles = Total Trips × Trip Length ÷ 8,100 Average Daily Vehicles Capacity per Lane Mile

(Within UIA) New Lane Miles = Total Trips × Trip Length ÷ 8,500 Average Daily Vehicles Capacity per Lane Mile

(3)

Road Cost = New Lane Miles × $1,951,500 per Lane Mile (Including $151,500 per lane mile for Right-of-Way Costs)

(4)

(Outside UIA) Net Road Cost = Road Cost - $265,680 per New Lane Mile credited from Motor Fuels Tax and Vehicle License Fees

(Within UIA) Net Road Cost = Road Cost - $278,800 per New Lane Mile credited from Motor Fuels Tax and Vehicle License Fees)

(5)

Inflation Factor = PDC Multiplier from Table of Present Day Cost (PDC) Multipliers by Calendar Year in subsection 33E-8(d).

(6)

Road Impact Fee = Net Road Costs × Inflation Factor + 2% Administrative Costs

(b)

In the case of development activity involving a change of existing use and/or magnitude of existing use in which a building permit is required, the proposed development shall be required to pay an impact fee only for any increase in the development activity. In this case, the impact fee shall be calculated by computing the difference between the impact fee for the proposed development activity and the impact fee for the existing development activity as defined in Section 33E-5, less the applicable administrative fee. Any building permit which expires or is revoked after the effective date of this chapter and for which a fee has not previously been paid under this chapter shall be required to comply with the provisions herein. No refunds will be given for proposed development activity resulting in a negative fee calculation.

(c)

No impact fee payment shall be required for any applicants seeking development activity for which the computed fee amount under the terms of this chapter is less than fifty dollars ($50.00).

The above formula shall be used to compute the amount of the fee to be paid using either of the approaches set forth in Section 33E-8 or Section 33E-9, at the election of the feepayer.

(d)

Any change of use, redevelopment or modification of an existing use which requires the issuance of a building permit and which generates additional vehicular trips shall pay a road impact fee based on the net increase in the impact fee above that which would have been required for the previous use.
