Task 1 Impact Fee Kick Off Meeting We will kick off the impact fees update by holding a staff workshop that asks the following key questions,which are central to this impact fee update: • What is working well with the City's current impact fee program and what should be changed? • What types of projects should impact fees fund? • Should the program be vehicle-trip based or person-trip based? • Should the program be based on a single,citywide rate or should it be zone-based? • What types of land use categories should be included in the fee schedule? • How do Pasco's transportation impact fee rates compare to other peer communities and what is the appetite for raising rates? Deliverable: • Notes from the kickoff meeting that document staff responses to the key questions Task 2 Review and Update Transportation Project List We will review the transportation project list developed as part of Pasco's Transportation System Master Plan to identify capital projects that could meet impact fee eligibility. Fehr& Peers will meet with City staff to discuss potential projects for inclusion in the City's impact fee program and confirm an initial draft list. Following the meeting, Pasco staff will provide Fehr& Peers with the most current information available about project costs and any identified non-impact fee funding sources for projects. Fehr&Peers will compile this information to develop an initial draft transportation impact fee project list. Deliverable: • Draft transportation impact fee project list,with costs and funding availability Task 3 Calculate Existing Deficier�cies We will calculate the existing deficiency portion of transportation projects based on adopted level of service policies. It is assumed that this information can be gleaned from the recently adopted Transportation System Master Plan. No new LOS analysis is assumed as part of this project. Deliverable: • Table of existing deficiencies for each project � We will summarize expected residential and commercial growth within the city consistent with the growth assumptions applied for the TSMP future year analysis.We will then convert the land use growth to trips for calculation of the impact fee using the version of the BFCOG travel model refined for applied for the Transportation System Master Plan (hereafter referred to as the"Pasco model"). Deliverable: • Spreadsheet of land use and trip growth Task 5 Determine Share of Trips Attributable to Growth in Pasco We will then apply the Pasco model to estimate trips occurring on each of the proposed transportation projects, identifying the percentage of trips attributable to city growth. Deliverable: • Spreadsheet documenting growth portion in Pasco Task 6 Calculate Impact Fee Rate and Update Fee Schedule We will calculate a new'cost per trip end'that is translated into an impact fee schedule. We will update the fee schedule to reflect the new"cost per trip end', updated land use categories(based on discussion with city staff in the kickoff meeting),and the most updated version of the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual. Potential updates include: revised (and use categories,setting rates by geographic area,or rate variations based on differences in mode share. Deliverable: • Spreadsheet documenting cost per trip end and revised fee schedule ���sk 7 ����rep��e Irnp�rt ���ee ���t� S���cf�,� � Coc�e S�ipp��rt We will develop a short report documenting the impact fee rate methodology and results.We will also support the City in updating it's current municipal code to reference the updated impact fee program.
