Reston Funding Plan Allocation FrameworkThis cost split was chosen by staff as basis for funding scenarios. Staff is still seeking comments on this proposal.

In this example, public and private revenues* will share costs, approximately equally.

Reston Roadway projects would be paid for with public revenues.

Most Intersections and the Grid would be paid for with private revenues.

Department of Transportation 4

Please note that the information provided in this presentation is not final and is for discussion purposes only.

*Public revenues are those revenues allocated by the County for use on Countywide transportation projects.*Private revenues are generated in Reston and used exclusively for Reston projects. Includes: road fund, TIF, service and tax districts, etc.

Creditable Expenses• Developers will have the option to design,

construct, or acquire and donate right-of-way for improvements above the requirements of their traffic impact analysis (TIA).

• Such offsite improvements to the grid of streets can have an offsetting credit to a developer’s fund area contribution up to the amount of their contribution.

• Details on the crediting process will be included in fund area guidelines.

Factors in Establishing Reston RatesFactors to consider when establishing rates for a fund area and/or service district in Reston:

• The Reston TSA is a smaller geographic area than the Tysons Urban Center.

• The majority of new development potential is residential.• There is a special tax district in Reston (Small District 5); that applies to

residential, commercial, and industrial properties located in the district.• Rates alone should not make any area more or less attractive to future

development.• The effect of fund area contributions will vary from development to

development.

Department of Transportation 9

Fund Area Plan of Action• Staff has requested feedback on specific contribution rates to a fund area and

has only received verbal comments at organized meetings. However, the schedule of the funding plan soon requires a specific recommendation.

• Seeking Advisory Group feedback on which funding scenarios should be removed from consideration.

• Any adjustments or new funding scenario recommendations should not only be based in logic but also take into account “Factors in Establishing Reston Rates”.

• Staff recommends the Advisory Group to have a working meeting prior to the next Advisory Group meeting or plan on dedicating the first portion of the September 12th Advisory Group meeting to develop the recommendation.

• Alternatively, staff can suggest a funding scenario to keep the funding plan action on schedule for completion by the end of year 2016, and seek Advisory Group feedback.

New Funding Scenarios

• At the request of the Advisory Group, two new funding scenarios have been developed for Advisory Group consideration.

• Scenario 10• Scenario 11• Note all scenarios are meant to provide initial

points for discussion and are not final.

Department of Transportation 12

Page 13: Reston Funding Plan: Updates and Funding Scenarios - Aug. 8 & 10, 2016

New Funding Scenario 10• Splits the private funding shortfall ($350M) equally between a road

fund and a service district and maintains the same residential to commercial fund area contribution ratio as Tysons.

• This funding scenario requires a higher service district contribution rate than other funding scenarios presented.

*Average annual rate for service district.

Page 14: Reston Funding Plan: Updates and Funding Scenarios - Aug. 8 & 10, 2016

County of Fairfax, Virginia

New Funding Scenario 11• A current resident in the Reston TSAs with an average residence of $260k

assessed value will have an out of pocket expense, paid over 40 years, equal to a residential per dwelling unit contribution of a developer.

• The service district rate is set at 2 cents per $100 of assessed value and summed for 40 years based on the annual contribution. This amount sets the residential rate and the commercial rate then adjusts to fund the remaining portion of the private share.

County of Fairfax, Virginia

New Funding Scenario 11 Perspectives• On a residential unit basis, a developer and a current, average

residence in the Reston TSAs have the same out of pocket expense.

• Current homeowners within the Reston TSAs would be paying 1.35% of the private share of the funding plan. Developers, commercial property owners, and new residents in the Reston TSAs would be paying the remaining portion of the private share of the funding plan.

Other Advisory Group Recommendations• There was a suggestion to tie parking (over minimum parking requirements) with

contributions towards the private share of the funding plan.• The County can only enforce paid parking at County owned parking garages and

does not have the authority to require paid parking at private facilities.• Proffers tied to parking spaces above minimum requirements would not be feasible

since most site plans are coming in at the required minimum or requesting below the required minimum.

• Example: Board of Supervisors recently approved a 16.4 percent reduction the required parking for the Reston Excelsior development. – Required parking: 732, 1.6 spaces per unit– Proposed parking: 612, 1.33 spaces per unit– Reason: The basis for the reduction is the development’s proximity to a mass

transit station. The 5.0 acre parcel is located within one-half mile of the existing Reston Town Center Transit Station (Transit Station), as well as within one-half mile of the entrance of the planned Reston Town Center Metrorail Station.
