Calculation of Roadway Impact Fees

The calculation of roadway impact fees for new development involves a two-step process. Step One is

the calculation of the total number of service units that will be generated by the development. Step

Two is the calculation of the impact fee due by the new development. Step 1: Determine number of service units (vehicle-miles) generated by the development using the equivalency

table.

No. of Development x Vehicle-miles = Development's

Units per development unit Vehicle-miles

Step 2: Calculate the impact fee based on the fee per service unit for the service area where the development is

located.

Development's x Fee per = Impact Fee due

Vehicle-miles vehicle-mile from Development

Examples: The following fees would be assessed to new developments in Waxahachie if the cost per service unit in

Service Area 5 were $621.00 (assumed adoption of 50%).

Single-Family Dwelling

1 dwelling unit x 2.73 vehicle-miles/dwelling unit = 2.73 vehicle-miles

2.73 vehicle-miles x $621.00/vehicle-mile = $1,695.33

20,000 square foot (s.f.) Office Building

20 (1,000 s.f. units) x 4.24 vehicle-miles/1,000 s.f. units = 84.80 vehicle-miles

84.80 vehicle-miles x $621.00/vehicle-mile = $56,660.80

100,000 s.f. Retail Center

100 (1,000 s.f. units) x 2.22 vehicle-miles/1,000 s.f. units = 222.00 vehicle-miles

222.00 vehicle-miles x $621.00/vehicle-mile = $137,862.00
