DISCUSSION CONTINUED. IIF-- 11 A. Presentation from Walter H. Keller and Thomas G. Wright regarding the City/County Impact Fee Study continued. Mr. Walter Keller of Walter H. Keller, Inc. and Thomas G. Wright, Esquire briefly summarized the impact fee approach they are offering the City and County. The first item to note is that part of the concurrency requirement that is outlined in both the City and County Comprehensive Plan can be achieved through the use of impact fees. It is a critical part of the overall funding strategy for the capital improvements that are needed to serve planned development. However, impact fee's alone will not be sufficient to adequately accommodate projected growth. Other innovative funding mechanisms can be considered to be used in conjunction with impact fees. Examples of other funding mechanisms are Special Assessments and Special Improvement Districts. The Scope of Services offered to formulate the Impact Fee Study is to complete the data collection and analysis; formulate policy analysis; methodology development; implementation and administration projection; final report; study requirements and provision of work. The service areas estimate for fees are as follows: Service Area Coun C_t_ Transportation $12,380.00 $ 6,815.00 Law Enforcement $ 9,295.00 $ 6,815.00 Corrections In Law Enforcement Fire $ 9,295.00 $ 6,815.00 EMS Included in Fire Schools $12,895.00 Stormwater Management $ 6,195.00 $ 6,815.00 Water and Sewer $12,895.00 TOTAL $75,850.00 $27,260.00 The projected schedule is to have the draft final report within seven months, with final report by ten months. One issue in specific that was clarified for the City was that Impact Fee's are also in effect for any subdivision already in place. The impact fee would be addressed at the time a building permit is applied for and would be levied regardless of when your subdivision was adopted by the City Council. 1� r 1 77 DECEMBER 30, 2004 - CITy/COutm JOINT WORKSHOP - PAGE 3 oA 5 AGENDA DISCUSSION III.

County, School District, and Capital facility plans need to be financially feasible and to describe 1he need for and costs of the additional facility improvements that will be necessary to provide public facilities at established levels of service. Creating the system of impact fees will include 1he adoption of appropriate amendments to the Land Development Code and may include revisi;nts of capital facility plans and programs, and the capital improvement and land use related elems of the City and County Comprehensive Plans. Interviews should be conducted with developers/builders involved in residential, commercial and industrial activity in the City and County and neighboring areas in which there is relevant competition. Although there is recent literature regarding impact fees and lot sale prices, development costs and housing prices (prepared for Brookings Institution), local interviews will be more reliable than the national findings. The local findings will be discussed in relation to national findings and differences will be noted, when appropriate. Based on interviews with various City, County, School District and Utility Authority personnel, including service providers as well as planning officials, we will be able to better assess other, objectives. This will include utilizing impact fees as an incentive tool which encourages growth in areas that it is desired, an impact fee schedule that achieves economic development objectives such as encouraging large scale commercial and industrial development as well the feasibility of differential and tiered impact fees approaches. As part of these considerations we will review the comprehensive plan relative to the recommended impact fee strategies. New categories of impact fees that are appropriate may be considered as well as other concepts that could better address the City and County infrastructure needs through impact fees and other concepts, whether land use or revenue which would enhance the ability of the City and the County to meet their goals. The Project Team's state and national experience in impact fees, fiscal analysis, planning and implementation techniques will lead to comprehensive, defensible and understandable products. This will include a summary matrix of options and recommendations for the City and County to review as well other interested parties. Our team has conducted many facilitation meetings, presented at many public forums and served as expert witnesses on i pact fee and land use topics. We know what to provide and how to present it. For an impact fee to be valid in Florida there must be a nexus between ti. e impacts created by a development project on capital facilities, the cost of providing those acilities, and benefits conferred upon the development from the expenditure of the collected fun s. The revenues from the impact fee may only be used to prevent future deficiencies caused by new development and may not be used to alleviate existing conditions. This is a simplified statement of the dual rational nexus test established in the landmark case of Holl ood Inc. vs. Coun 431 So. 2d 606 (Fla.4`h DCA 1983). The Broward Appellate Court in the Hall wo d Inc. case upheld a regional park impact fee requirement adopted by the Broward County Commission in 1977.

The better is that the fundamental ►n to the takings issue including impact fees. The Nollan and Dolan cases apply to exactions the long standing principle applied to zoning in Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co 272 U.S.365 (1926) that a regulation must bear a reasonable relationship to legitimate state interests. In Dolan the Court also stated that when an exaction results from an adjudicative decision it must be based on an individualized determination that the exaction is related both in nature and extent to the impact of the development. Florida's dual rational nexus test for impact fee exactions, established in the Hollywood Inc case already required the "essential nexus" test of Nollan between the exactions imposed on the Proposed development and the advancement of legitimate governmental interests the regulation, and more precision than the "roughly proportional" test of Dolan betwe n the exaction and the impact of the development. Over a century ago, in Norwood v. Baker 172 U.S. 269 (1898), the U.S. S apreme Court applied a benefit requirement to special assessments. The Court said that "... the exaction from the owner of private property of the cost of a public improvement in substantial excess of the special benefits accruing to him is, to the extent of the excess, a taking, under t e guise of taxation..." The U.S. Supreme Court has not yet applied a No_ style benefit rec uirement to exactions, but the Florida Courts have in the dual rational nexus test. An ordina ice meeting the more stringent Florida standards for impact fees, which also require that the us of the fee benefit the payer of the fee should readily pass muster with the U. S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court only sets the minimum standard under the Federal Constitution. A State may set a higher standard for regulatory exactions, and Florida has done so. A historical basis for this higher standard is Florida's constitutional requirement in S ction 1, Article VII, u Florida Constitution, that local governments may not impose a t specifically authorized by general law. Many early attempts to impo as unauthorized taxes or as being outside the local government' consequence, the Florida Courts crafted the dual rational nexus test between a lawful regulatory exaction under home rule and an illegal t In 1991, school impact fees were addressed in St. Johns County vs Association 583 So.2d 635 (Fla.1991).

More recently in (Fla. 2000) the Florida rig permanent residents . of school impact fees. nonstrable benefit from Florida does not have a standardized impact fee format established by statute. This is actually to the benefit of the City and County in their desire to find appropriate impact fee programs to help solve their special needs. Under home rule, a city or county can create and implement its own unique system of impact fees provided that Florida's dual rational nexus test is met. Approach to Implementation of Impact Fees The Florida Legislature has recognized that there is statewide need for ong range planning and particularly a need to coordinate public facility planning with land use planning. Because local governments are primarily responsible for land use planning and devel pment permitting, it is essential that each local government also address the long-range public f Icilities needs within its jurisdiction through comprehensive planning, land development regu ations, and innovative funding mechanisms including techniques such as impact fees. The challenge is to calculate impact fees that are realistic and fair to the payer of the fee and yet adequate to sufficiently improve the facilities to make up for future deficiencies that would result from the development being allowed to proceed. The fee should be in an amount proportionate to the need for the public facilities and services generated by the new development. Fees for impacts may be used as a funding component of the Capital Improv ment Element of the Comprehensive Plan and capital facility plans to provide public facilities that will be needed to help offset the impacts of the new development. Long range facilities plans need to be financially feasible to most strongly of impact fee requirements. The capital improvements element of Comprehensive Plans may be revised if necessary to describe the public that will be needed, and that can be funded, and to provide for an adequa the land uses authorized by the future land use plan element. Facility Pla should be consistent with each other and land use permitting decisions net plans.

'sed. Residential fee ng area, number of the potential impact 11 Impact fee districts are particularly suitable where there is a wide variation between the existing levels of services in different areas. In areas where existing levels of service are adequate a district could be used to maintain that level of service. If there are areas of the City and County that are composed of un aved and or significantly deteriorated roads that may not provide safe and adequate access, then concurrency is an issue. Under concurrency, building permits should not be issued, even fbr a platted lot, if roads necessary to provide safe and adequate access to the lot are not availa le. Areas with inadequate roads will necessitate special treatment for building construction to continue. Separate funding sources may be necessary for areas of inadequate roads that also inclu a existing homes. The City and County could encourage jobs that could be provided by 1 e-scale commercial and industrial development located in appropriate areas through a broad stiategy that includes the use of impact fees. Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRA) or special districts such as Community Development Districts (CDD) may be appropriate vehicles for services and capital improvements in some areas. Subject to vested rights, impact fees may be applied to redevelopmer the redevelopment would have a greater impact on facilities and se level of service is below the adopted level of service for the area.. directly at the building permit stage would apply to redevelop: development and would be more accurate, more efficient, and more by stages of the permitting process.

A special assessments that are even more detailed and readily distinguished. Impact a local government provide )act fees and other innovative icourage specially benefited the' property. There has been extensive use of special improvement districts in Florida to provide basic infrastructure and services. Special improvement districts are specia limited purpose units of local government as opposed to cities and counties which are general purpose units of local government. A special district, depending on its charter or governing law, can levy taxes and special assessments, and impose fees and charges to fund the facilit es and services that it is authorized to provide. Special improvement districts may either dependant or independent s defined in Chapter 189 Florida Statues. A dependant district in essence functions as a component of another government entity, whereas an independent district once created stands on its own and operates pursuant to the law under which it as established and is not directly responsible to another government entity. The bonded indebtedness and other liabilities of an independe special district are not a burden on the City or County in which the district is located. Community Development Districts (CDD) are a type of independent s ecial district authorized by Chapter 190 Florida Statutes. A CDD of 1000 acres or greater is established by the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission after public hearings by the local government where the CDD will be located. A CDD of less than 1000 acres is established by the local government within which it is to be located. Public Participation Public participation is essential to the success of these potentially co troversial efforts to create impact fee programs as described in the RFP. The key to a successful public involvement effort will be the ability to clearly explain the reasons why a revised impact fee program is necessary to maintain the quality of life that the citizens and business community dt mand. The public must be educated to understand Florida's legal requirements of a reasonable f e related to the impacts of the development and the use of those fees in a manner that benefits the payer of the fee.
