Okay. Slide three, the overviews. Next slide, four, developing what is called by many different names, such as system charge, intersectional development charge, IEC, road impact fee, risk, traffic, or transportation fee, or TIF mobility fee. In all cases, these fees represent a one-time-front cash payment made by a developer in connection with local governments' approval of his or her project. The fee offsets some or all of the costs associated with facility needs located outside the project boundaries that benefit the project, including, for example, water, sewage, utilities, and emergency services. The view was originally used for capital expenditures only. More recently, it's used sometimes to include operations. Next slide. Compared to the formal system of negotiating actions, these are predictable and generate more revenues much faster. Although they can find a wider variety of services, there's a one-time payment and they represent less secure social revenues when compared to special assessments, as an example, and the other two are more prevalent these techniques that are last suited for presenting flexibility and financial options. When compared to user fees, indexes can also provide a reservation capacity, whether or not those are actually being used at capacity at any point in time. Then on a project by project basis, these are most affected with ties to local planning process as a form of social funding for local, capital employment programs. Finally, these fees are best used for a mental investments that leverage existing capacity. For example, in the field of violence were marginal practices can be applied, such that new developments can find these in existing access capacities, thus enabling local governments to include the sum of their prior investments. Next slide. Slide six. For efficiency and equity concerns the next slide, slide seven. First, we got efficiency. Evaluating funding initiatives basically entails three basic considerations. First, that of sufficiency issues. Whether funding can cover all of these costs. The second is personality issues. Whether the cost can be allocated to those that need it the most based on user-pay as well, sometimes referred to as equity. Finally, marginal pricing, where the improvements can be provided with the most possible on an increment will cost basis. Next slide, slide eight. on sufficiency, impact fee revenues are often not enough to cover improvements needed. When legislated, tied to the local planning process. However, they can be used to guide future land-use patterns. Personalities can increase better compared to other techniques because they're legally prohibited from charging more than the proportional share of the project impact on these needs. However, these are often having the effect of raising property values by more than multiple fees, resulting in existing -- Nearby properties for profit at the expense of new developments. The basic premise is for basic payments of increment low marginal costs using existing areas to accommodate the incremental growth. Under such marginal pricing, Greenfield areas implemented in these are more costly than the ones in development areas close to existing capacity. In this regard, indexes can also help minimize undesirable urban sprawl or leapfrog in urban element patterns. Next slide, slide nine. Evaluating social or vertical equity concerns is based on the affordability to ability to pay principal. Concerns can occur with regards to equity in two respects. First, the increase in property prices causes gentrification. That's pricing out low income households. The second is related to a flat-fee, progressive-fee, structure of a coming of a difference in pay. Next slide, slide 10. DIFs generally raise prices of existing properties and makes them less affordable overall, especially for lower-income households. Developers markets, developers often pass on the fees to buyers and renters, exacerbating the situation even further. As a remedy, local jurisdictions can set up fee waivers for other financial incentives to address the political equity concerns. This structure can be fixed with more layered approaches in the fee designed by varying fees by, for example, location, land use, density, building types and/or size. You can also want to keep in mind, however, the important trio between more equitable fee structures and administrative challenges that come with the layered-fee program. Next slide. now for legal and legislative conservations. Next slide and slide 12. Developer infections, in general, since 1920, have been used to establish the legal presidents. This divides more detailed discussion on this. There are three basic things for's legal fees purse this. First, Nolan established that in order to get the fee, there needs to be a direct relationship with the project proposed and the ones proposed often referred to as the essential nexus task. The second is the Dolan ruling in 1994. It established that it must be roughly proportional to the impact created by the project, often referred to as the abrupt personality test. The past these two tests for the commission, what is called nexus, or the TB study, to establish a legal and competitive basis for the fee. To put it in historical context, Nolan and Dolan were, in part, triggered by the user fees by local governments to make up for the severe restrictions put on property tax increases that began in the mid-1970s. Finally, the third landmark that came about more recently in 2013 to further clarify the ruling for Nolan and Dolan. Next slide, slide 12. In essence, the ruling clarified that, from Koontz, when the program is legislated into a local audience that applies across all development projects, the burden of proof lies upon the legitimacy of the fees and the developers. When the fees are challenged by a developer under an adjudicated situation for a project, however, the burden of proof resides with the local agencies, especially in the absence of local impacts and ordinances. Next slide, slide 14. The Nolan ruling in 1987 triggered many states that adopted statutes at the state level. Some 30 states have had installations that affect the ability of local agencies to levy impact fees. In most states, impact policies have evolved through decades of case laws since 1920. Specific court-based efforts by local jurisdictions to generate funds they needed to provide public services to support new development projects. Impact fee legislative experience has a highly diverse area state to state. For example, California and Florida, two states with higher fees, have had very different experiences. California was an early adopter of state reservations which was amended in 1987 and is largely based on previous case laws. Whereas Florida did not pass this legislation until 2006, relying on existing state funds on growth management. In Texas, the investigation was initially very detailed and descriptive when adopted in 1987. But then ended it significantly in 2003 to add much more flexibility. Some states, such as Illinois and New Jersey, focus on transportation impact fees. Whereas others, such as New Mexico and Indiana, focus on affordable housing. Finally, Arkansas adopted a legislation in 2003 but limited the use of the impact fees as municipal level only. And for water and waste-water municipal it is only with water, excluding their use, property level, altogether. next slide. Slide 15. At the local level, there could be numerous standards and guidelines available to support developing the legally impact fee programs. In general, local ordinance is to provide greater use of the impact fees, including whether to use it for extensively instructive categories such as transportation or for capital expenditures only, excluding the operations made at these expenses. This table provides a few select examples. In California, for example, San Francisco has had a long history and its local ordinance long preceded the state's act. For San Francisco, impact fees have been an important source of local revenues, with almost $150 million, a quarter billion dollars, fiscally, in 2016. In comparison, other large cities in California such as L.A. and Oakland just began to recognize the importance of impact fees only recently. However, their uses are still limited for capital costs only and affordable housing only with annual revenue establish below $120 million. Portland, Oregon, from early on, focuses on the transportation sector as one of the first to use impact fees for the major intersections. Also followed by improvements and other system-my transformation improvements. In Florida, state legislation has been ambiguous about the local authority. They capitalized on this ambiguity and established the authority over those municipalities from the land developer and code established at that level. Finally, in Ohio, a destination for each city was shown here in this slide. Establishes the communicating criteria. Next slide. Now for nexus studies, slide 17. Nexus studies substantiate that the types and amounts of the impact fees charged on new developments are legally defensible nexus tests required by the dormant rulings. In these studies, typically there are different land uses such as family housing, commercial or industrial uses. And for different infrastructure categories, such as transportation, water, sewage, open space, fire safety and affordable housing. Next study, designing to provide maximum legally defensible seasonings. Public agencies, however, often choose to set their fees towards the ceilings in an effort to ease concerns about needed elements. The ultimate decision on these levels are often driven by public agencies' funding priorities based on their info structure needs and potential effects of these fees based on the state market. In general, most public agencies are constrained and their assessment offers non-robust ones to advance the impacts that the fees may have on new development. Next slide. Stay with this slide. The weight in which public agency exceptions can include the proportionality and affordability concerns discussed earlier the whole mobile table health agencies are consistent with their overall land-use and goals, broadly, designing the fee structure entails four basic components shown here, defining service areas defining the level of service and developing fee schedules with the appropriate timing of these fees. Next slide, slide 19. In defining the service area, even though it may be easiest to design it in a mixture, a single area for this planned affection is also to rely on geographic-specific impact fees in order to account for these variations and the cost for the public intake. Keeping in mind the trade-off I mentioned earlier between equitable and multilayer structures versus administrative complexities. Service areas, for example, can be designed based on extensive infrastructures whether in greenfield or in field. Public transit facilities, where this is generally generated. Overall ability for funding costs such as areas of streams from increments of special assessment or with supplemental federal state funding sources. Establishing levels of services for new development is one of the most critical elements for the new public needs. Although it's a little practice to adopt the same service standards across an entire jurisdiction, this may not be the case. Past, present, and future development have these constraints, combined with the local land-use policies to provide a rational date for establishing variable service standards. Next slide, slide 20. Once the service area is defined, a set of individuals can be established for each service area based on the service standards pertinent to that area. Typically, these are scheduled or status by different leading categories. We need these categories for public standards developed by the land-use and vertical structures. For example, for roads, impact fees are typically based on the number of one's generated for dwelling per 1000 square foot of space for the center. Finally, timing of each unit, specifically, points towards the assessment, which can become an important part of fee structuring because of a significant collapse. Sometimes it's only several years between when a project is proposed and when it actually takes place. This is an example of what occurs at the beginning, concurrent with the construction planning and concurrent with the final inspection and issuance of the certificate of occupancy. Alternatively, they can occur at different times. For example, collecting the final inspection stage from developers' perspectives. They prefer early key assessment but typically the actual team takes as long as possible to minimize their out-of-pocket carrying costs from public sales. Next slide. Now implementation. Next slide. The basic elements of them limiting a foreign entity program can generally be created among others, establishing clear impact fees and objectives. Initially, it would set the lead amount. Incorporating these fees in the local plans for the improvement plans and conducting public hearings and other related procedures for preparing steps towards administrative records and drafting impact-fee resolutions and ultimately adopted a few programs. Also, the adoption of other important steps that need to be maintained on a regular basis. You can increase your standard accounting fees or other programs for audits in connection with administration. Finally, dealing with the challenges and refunds as they arise. Next slide, slide 23. As mentioned, impact fees are often multilayered. Depending on each space, there may also be many other charges because of developers that are outside impact-fee regulations. In California, for example, as shown in this slide, there are other developer charges such as special fees which are connection fees and permit processing fees but are not subject to impact-fee regulation. One of the key implementations has been the difficulty of estimating the total fees with expert fees that are associated with any given project due to the lack of fee transparency and standardization. From public agency's perspective Emme this can prevent tracking and assessing the reasonableness, from the developers' perspective, it can provide difficulties in accurately predicting total project cost needed to assess project fees needed in the development stage. Also, many developers are not going to take the risk of starting a project without knowing the full cost implications if they decide to take the project elsewhere. Next slide. Slide 24. Key aspects of fee transparency are availability and accessibility schedules. Next study has annual reports of accounting for fees that are already being implemented. Some jurisdictions have found ways to increase transparency by hosting, for example, all nexus studies on their website to incentivize fee adoptions and make it clear encumbrance of, the information, a single, regularly-updated fee schedule linked to interactive fee maps. Finally, fee booklets with step-by-step guidance on how to estimate whether the fees have different types of developing project. In any case, a lack of fee transparency often reflects the lack of local resources and internal coordination. A recent survey, for example, indicates that, impact fees, often set with no oversight of coordination between different departments and are responsible for administrative differences, for the dip public it in the already disorganized process. The next successful impact the program also depends on the analytical rigor in nexus and development studies that can lead to the adoption of fee levels, which is also often a function of internal resources available. The revenue internal capacity issues, some best resource localities have been able to devise solutions through a joint procurement strategy where one consulting firm is hired to conduct separate the combined nexus studies for federal jurisdictions, thus providing significant cost savings. Next slide. I'd like to conclude my breaking with a case example of a city that came into the resources. Next slide. City of East Palo Alto, although located in the heart of California, historically this is socio-economic challenges typical of advanced resources, such as lower-level education, a high level of poverty and employment and active supply of affordable housing. Consistent with the overall regional growth strategy, the city focused on the new downtown area for their growth and provided new or upgraded infrastructure to support the road. Many upgrades included prevents outside the field and the city decided to use impact fees as the primary method for funding the improvements. Before the new need for development, the city did not have expanded legislations in the Texas structure. Impact fees were negotiated on a case-by-case basis, making them more vulnerable for legal challenges that are more intense to administer. The city then decided to edit minister and qualify the legally moving impact the program to better support the project development. The city also qualified other development charges. This table shows the overall developers chosen in the box for the storm drainage. Supplemented with other development of charges, in California, with results obtaining affordable housing for storage and water. Next slide. For transportation, the city commission has a separate transportation nexus study. Transportation impact fees estimated based on generation by different land users. In this case, townhouses, multi-family housing, office, retail and industrial. To take the mystery out of the impact fee, walking through the basic steps. You typically start with EIT, traffic and engineer, basic data and estimated total trip generation by land-use based on broad projection provided in local planning documents. In this case, the city's general plans with these baseline numbers that are then subjected based on local conditions to Palo Alto, including adjustments and costs for unique local travel patterns, internal trips, land order chips and transit mode. The final generation rate for total number of new trips generated impact are shown in green. Next slide the next step is to link the improvement fees directly to the new ones generated. This can be increased by estimating the purported improvements crucial for the new development based on presenting new trip generation. In the case of Palo Alto, the total generation of improvements have been attributable to the trips. The government came to about $25.3 million, as shown in yellow. This has been used to estimate the capital cost-based on $7000 per trip, as shown in purple. Next. Based on the union capital cost per trip, and maximum defensible fees are estimated, as shown in yellow on the stable, all of which were adopted by the city, shown in green, with one exception. The adopted fee was adopted down from maximum of $30 per thousand square feet to several increases shown in orange. The city decided to make this adjustment in part based on their assessment of the prevailing indices levels in neighboring communities. communities, shown in the last column. The city felt that the national retail was too high of a ceiling to be able to track retail developed for the new downtown infield area. In addition to these standards for the schedule, the city Council also allowed fee reduction if an active measure was taken to reduce the fee restrictions for that mode of transportation and advancement program and for affordable and senior housing development. Next slide. I would like to conclude my presentation with two main takeaways. It's harder to justify improvements outside the development project boundaries. Impact fees are designed specifically to offset improvement for new developments that help trigger local growth. Instead of doing on a project by project basis, impact fees can be limited most effectively by calling them into local ordinance and implement them directly into the local planning process. This not only serves as a budgetary funding process for local limitation programs but also helps in achieving long-term goals and land-use planning goals and objectives. This concludes my presentation. 2ff7e9595c
