2018-182 Procedural Information for Impact Fee Public HearingDate: December 14, 2018 Report No. 2018-182
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide procedural information for the Impact Fee Public Hearing that will be held on December
18, 2018.
DISCUSSION:
On November 13, 2018, City of Denton staff and representatives from Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. presented the 2018 Water and Wastewater Impact Fee update to the City
Council. During the same meeting, the Council also approved an ordinance to hold a public
hearing regarding impact fee adoption on December 18, 2018. The Agenda Information Sheet
associated with the Public Hearing item stated that “based on guidance and direction from the
City Council, Staff will present an agenda item with a Draft ordinance establishing amended
impact fees on December 11, 2018.” However, Council did not provide direction and a
recommendation for adoption of the updated water and wastewater impact fees on November 13,
2018, and instead directed staff to hold the public hearing so the Council could receive public
comments prior to providing this direction.
Due to the Council’s direction, the public hearing that will be held on December 18 is different
from a typical public hearing because there is not an associated ordinance. As a part of the
hearing, staff is seeking direction and a Council recommendation for adoption of the updated
water and wastewater impact fees. Once this direction is provided, staff will add the resulting
impact fees to the impact fee ordinance, and will provide this ordinance for consideration as a
consent agenda item as soon as possible after the public hearing. However, due to the holidays,
staff anticipates the impact fee ordinance will likely be provided at one of the first two Council
meetings in January 2019.
Staff will be glad to provide any additional information upon request.
