ITEM 29
City Council Memorandum Management Services Memo No.
24-058
Date:
February 22, 2024
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Dawn Lang, Deputy City Manager - CFO
From:
Matthew Dunbar, Budget and Policy Assistant Director
Subject:
Introduction of Ordinance No. 5083 Amending Appendix A of Chapter 38 of the Chandler City Code, to Modify Certain Arterial Street, Fire, Parks, Police, Reclaimed Water, Wastewater, and Water System Development Fees
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council introduce and tentatively adopt Ordinance No. 5083 amending Appendix A of Chapter 38 of the Chandler City Code to modify certain arterial street, fire, parks, police, reclaimed water, wastewater, and water system development fees.
Background:
In order to continue to collect system development fees, the City must comply with Arizona Revised Statute §9-463.05, which includes updating the Land Use Assumptions (LUA) and Infrastructure Improvements Plan (IIP) every five years. The City engaged Duncan Associates to update the LUA and IIP and prepare a report based on these items to update the City’s system development fees.
The draft report was posted on the city website and a link to the report was disseminated through social media and to stakeholders representing single family, multi-family, and commercial developers at a meeting held on October 11, 2023. The link additionally provided interested parties with a minimum of 60 days advance notice of the planned Public Hearing, as required by state statute. To date, no concerns have been communicated to staff regarding the draft report. The report includes the recommended system development fees, as well as the LUA and the IIP, which were adopted by Council on January 11, 2024. The modified system development fees included in the report and detailed in the attached ordinance are calculated by service area for arterial streets, parks, fire, police, public buildings, water, wastewater, and reclaimed water.
The ordinance makes modifications to existing amounts and language in the City Code, as reflected in Appendix A, which amends the related system development fee amounts. A public hearing on the modified fees will be conducted on February 22, 2024; if approved, the modified system development fees would become effective Monday, July 1, 2024.
Financial Implications:
System development fees are designed to provide funding to a community for the cost of expanding infrastructure required to support new development. If these fees are not maintained at the proper level, the City may have to provide additional General Fund support for growth-related capital projects through use of fund balance or issuance of General Obligation Bonds.
