(e) The final decision on whether to accept payment of the independent fee based on an <br /> independent fee calculation shall be made by the council, by resolution, after <br /> recommendation by the impact fee administrator. The impact fee administrator shall <br /> make the recommendation to the council within ninety days after accepting a completed <br /> application for an independent fee calculation. <br /> Section 36 -14. Independent fee calculation formulae. <br /> (a) The independent fee calculation study shall be based on the same service standards and <br /> unit costs for facilities used in the needs assessment study (as adjusted by the same cost <br /> inflation factors used in annual adjustments since the study was prepared), and shall <br /> document the methodologies and assumptions used. <br /> (b) An independent fee calculation study submitted for the purpose of calculating a road <br /> impact fee may be based on data, information, or assumptions from independent sources, <br /> provided that: <br /> (1) The independent source is an accepted standard source of transportation <br /> engineering or planning data; or <br /> (2) The independent source is a local study on trip characteristics carried out by a <br /> qualified transportation planner or engineer pursuant to an accepted methodology <br /> of transportation planning or engineering. <br /> (c) The independent fee calculation is the sum of the road impact fees, the park impact fees, <br /> the fire /EMS impact fees, police impact fees, solid -waste impact fees, and wastewater <br /> impact fees. The formulae for calculation of these fees are listed below. <br /> (1) The road impact fees shall be calculated according to the following formula: <br /> ROAD IMPACT FEE = VMT x NET COST/VMT <br /> Where: <br /> VMT = TRIPS x % NEW x LENGTH - 2 <br /> NET COST/VMT = COST /VMC x VMC/VMT - CREDIT/VMT <br /> TRIPS = Trip ends during an average weekday <br /> % NEW = Percent of trips that are primary trips, as opposed to pass -by or <br /> diverted -link trips <br /> LENGTH = Average length of a trip on the major roadway facilities <br /> 2 = Avoids double - counting trips for origin and destination <br /> COST /VMC = Average cost to add a new daily vehicle -mile of capacity <br /> VMC /VMT = System -wide ratio of VMC to VMT on the major roadway <br /> facilities (assumed 1:1) <br /> CREDIT /VMT = DEBT /VMT + PAST/VMT + GRANT /VMT <br /> DEBT/VMT = Outstanding debt used for capacity improvements on existing road <br /> facilities divided by total existing VMT <br /> -11- <br />
