CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS
MEMORANDUM
TO: Ronald M. Ferris, Interim City Manager
FROM: Kent R. Olson, Finance Director KRQ
Steven B. Cramer, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Ordinance 31, 2000 — Road Impact Fees
BACKGROUND
DATE: November 17, 2000
The City of Palm Beach Gardens hired Duncan Associates in June to conduct a
road impact fee study to develop a City road impact fee. These road impact fees will be
paid at the time of building permit issuance, and will be in addition to County road
impact fees collected. Clancy Mullin of Duncan Associates has worked with us in the
development of the study and Ordinance 31, 2000, which will implement a road impact
fee.
DISCUSSION
The passage of Ordinance 31, 2000 provides the City with a local road impact fee.
The road impact fees collected under this ordinance will provide the primary funding for
the Burns Road construction project. The Ordinance includes the interest costs for the
debt that will be issued to fund the construction of the project, thus these impact fees will
cover the total cost of the Burns Road improvements. The proposed road impact fees are
to become effective on the first day of the month following adoption.
We met with representatives of Catafulmo to discuss the language in the
Ordinance regarding "collector roads" and we are in agreement that the Ordinance as
written is acceptable. We made one unrelated minor change, inserting "and/" in Section
5, Sec. 55 (b) in the first sentence. We also added a paragraph to Sec. 57 (b)(1)(c) as a
result of the November 14 Council Workshop that provides the City Council with the
flexibility to allow a developer to pool his impact fee obligations to match against his
total impact fee credits if the developer has multiple parcels for which he is making
improvements that qualify for impact fee credit.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 31, 2000 on second reading, providing
for a road impact fee.
ORDINANCE 31, 2000

Palm Beach Ga rdens\ROAD IMPACT FEE STUDY
October 9, 2000 DRAFT, Page i
•
Introduction
The purpose of this study is to develop a road impact fee to help the City of Palm Beach Gardens to
fund improvements to the City's major road system. The City does not currently charge a road
impact fee, although new development in the city does pay a road impact fee to Palm Beach County
for its impact on the County's major road system.
Palm Beach Gardens is a growing municipality located in northern Palm Beach County in
southeastern Florida. Between 1970 and 1996, the city's population and land area both increased
more than five -fold. Today, the City covers over 34,000 acres, the majority of which is undeveloped.
The city has historically grown faster than Palm Beach County as a whole, and this trend is expected
to continue. In the last ten years, the city's share of county population increased from 2.7 to 3.8
percent, and is expected to be 5.2 percent fifteen years from now. The City's population growth is
projected to stabilize at about 2,100 new residents annually, as shown in Table 1.

Service Unit
A service unit is a common unit of expression of the demand for public facilities generated by new
development. An appropriate service unit basis for road impact fees is vehicle -miles of travel (VMT).
Vehicle -miles is a combination of the number of vehicles traveling during a given time period and
the distance (in miles) that these vehicles travel.
The two time periods most often used in traffic analysis are the 24 -hour day (average daily trips or
ADT) and the single hour of the day with the highest traffic volume (peak hour trips or PHT). Palm
Beach County's current road impact fee system is based on ADT, and available data on Burns Road
and other collector roads is also in terms of average daily traffic. Consequently, average daily VMT
will be used as the service unit for the road impact analysis.
Major Roadway System
A road impact fee system should include a clear definition of the major roadway system that is to be
funded with the impact fees. This definition clarifies the roads that may be improved with impact fee
funds, as well as the roads that can be improved by developers in return for credit against the road
impact fees.

The major road system for the purpose of the City's proposed road impact fees are City- maintained
collector streets, as well as new roadway "linkages" identified in the City's Linkages Plan. All arterial
roadways within the city limits are the responsibility of the state or county. The City has two classes
of collector roads. Burns Road is the only "City Collector." "Neighborhood Collectors" consist of
MacArthur Boulevard and Holly Drive. The location of the City's existing collector roads is
illustrated in Figure 1. A summary of the City's major road system is presented in Table 2 below.

Palm Beach Gardens \ROAD IMPACT FEE STUDY October 9, 2000 DRAFT, Page 2
Methodology
For the City's road impact fee, we propose to use an "improvements-driven" approach. Essentially,
an improvements- driven impact fee calculation divides the cost of growth- related road
improvements determined to be needed over a planning horizon by the amount of new development
anticipated to occur over the same time period. The. planning horizon to be used in this study is 20
years, which generally corresponds to the useful life of roadway improvements, as well as to the
typical payback period of the municipal bonds that will be used to fund most of the improvement
cost.
The major alternative to the improvements- driven approach to road impact fees is known as the
"demand- driven" approach. This is the approach on which Palm Beach County's road impact fees,
for example, are based. The demand - driven model simply charges a new development the cost of
replacing the capacity that it consumes on the major road system. That is, for every vehicle -mile of
travel (VMT) generated by the development, the road impact fee charges the net cost to construct an
additional vehicle -mile of capacity (VMC). Since travel is never evenly distributed throughout a
roadway system, actual roadway systems require more than one unit of capacity for every unit of
demand in order for the system to function at an acceptable level of service. Clearly, roadway
systems in the real world need more total aggregate capacity than the total aggregate demand, because
the traffic does not always precisely match the available capacity. Consequently, the standard
demand - driven model significantly underestimates the full cost of accommodating new development
at the existing level of service.
Improvements to the City's major road system anticipated over the foreseeable future, based on the
• adopted Thoroughfare Plan and the soon- to -be- adopted City Center Linkages Plan, include a number of
new two -lane and four -lane road segments and the widening of two 2 -lane sections of Burn Road to
4 -lane divided sections. One of the two segments of Burns Road is currently operating at worse than
the City's desired level of service, and consequently a portion of the cost of the improvement will be
attributed to existing development. For the most part, however, the improvements will provide
additional capacity to serve new development, and the cost will be attributed to future development,
based on each development's projected traffic demand.
Travel Demand
The travel demand generated by specific land use types is a product of three factors: 1) trip
generation, 2) percent new trips and 3) trip length. The first two factors are well documented in the
professional literature, and the average trip generation characteristics identified in studies of
communities around the nation should be reasonably representative of trip generation characteristics
in Palm Beach Gardens. In contrast, trip lengths are much more likely to vary between communities,
depending on the geographic size and shape of the community and its major roadway system.
Trip Generation
Trip generation rates were based on information published in the most recent edition of the Institute
of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation manual. Trip generation rates represent trip
ends, or driveway crossings at the site of a land use. Thus, a single one -way trip from home to work
counts as one trip end for the residence and one trip end for the work place, for a total of two trips.
isTo avoid over - counting, all trip rates have been divided by two. This places the burden of travel
Palm Beach Gardens \ROAD IMPACTFEESTUDy October 9, 2000 DRAFT, Page 3
equally between the origin and destination of the trip and eliminates double- charging for any
particular trip.
New Trips Factor
Trip rates also need to be adjusted by a "new trip factor" to exclude pass -by and diverted -link trips.
This adjustment is intended to reduce the possibility of over - counting by only including primary
trips generated by the development. Pass -by trips are those trips that are already on a particular route
for a different purpose and simply stop at a particular development on that route. For example, a
stop at a convenience store on the way home from the office is a pass -by trip for the convenience
store. A pass -by trip does not create an additional burden on the street system and therefore should
not be counted in the assessment of impact fees. A diverted -link trip is similar to a pass -by trip, but a
diversion is made from the regular route to make an interim stop. The reduction for pass -by and
diverted -link trips was drawn from the ITE manual and other published information.
Average Trip Length
The average trip length is the most difficult travel demand factor to determine. In the context of a
demand - driven methodology such as the one used by the County, the road impact fee is directly
proportional to the average trip length. In the improvements- driven methodology used here,
however, it is used to allocate more of the cost of the improvements to land uses that have relatively
longer trip lengths. For example, if a convenience store trip is only one -half as long as a regional
shopping center trip, convenience store trips will only be weighted half as much as shopping center
trips in allocating the improvement cost among total future travel demand. This study will rely on
the average trip lengths used by Palm Beach County in their road impact fee system.
• Average daily travel demand must be estimated for a broad variety of land uses in order to develop
the fee schedule. The result of combining trip generation rates, new trip factors and average trip
lengths is a travel demand schedule that establishes the vehicle -miles of travel (VMT) during the
average weekday generated by various land use types per unit of development. The recommended
travel demand schedule is presented in Table 3.

Cost per Service Unit
In an improvements- driven impact fee system, an important input is the anticipated development
that will share in the cost of the capacity- expanding improvements. Anticipated demand over the
next 20 years will be based on an extrapolation of 6 -year land use projections recently prepared by
the City's transportation consultants for the Short Range Transportation Capacity Study. Those
projections were based on traffic impact studies submitted to the City. The extrapolated projections,
shown in Table 4, coincide very closely with the population growth projections presented earlier.

The needed improvements to widen Burns Road to four lanes for its entire length are estimated to
cost $11.1 million. Since the City will need to build up funding in the road impact fee account to
make payments, the City will need to borrow the interest for the first few payments. This is called
"capitalized interest," and will amount to a little over $1.1 million. The City expects to get some
funding for the improvements from Palm Beach County, in the neighborhood of $1 million, and
also has some funding earmarked for the Burns Road improvement. Deducting these available
funds leaves a capital funding shortfall of $10.49 million, as shown in Table 5.

In addition to Burns Road, the City's major road system will require a number of other new road
segments, as identified in the City's Thoroughfare Plan and City Center Linkages Plan. It is anticipated
that these improvements will all be made over the next couple of years, and most of them will be
made by developers in return for credit against their City road impact fees. As summarized in Table
7, the total cost of these other improvements is about $7.9 million.

Net Cost per Service Unit
Road impact fees should be reduced by the amount of capital funding that will be generated by new
development to be used for the types of capital improvements for which the fee is charged. The City
receives approximately half a million dollars annually in local option gas tax funding for road
operations and maintenance. Over the last five years, the City has also received some grant funding
from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. However, the City's road budget has been
completely devoted to operations, maintenance and resurfacing of existing streets. The City has not
added any lane -miles to its major road inventory in the last five years. The City's road budget for the
last five years is summarized below. Since gas tax funding and grant funding have historically been
used solely for maintenance and rehabilitation of the existing major road network, and no change to
this pattern is anticipated in the future, no revenue credits for gasoline taxes or outside funding is
warranted.

memorandum.
The City has not traditionally issued general obligation bonds to finance road improvements, and has
no outstanding debt for past road improvements. The bonds that the City plans to issue to construct
the improvements to Burns Road will be repaid entirely with road impact fee revenue. Consequently,
no revenue credits for future property taxes used to retire outstanding road debt are warranted.
A final type of credit often provided in road impact fees is for existing capacity deficiencies. New
development should not have to pay through impact fees for the capacity required to serve growth,
while also having to pay through property taxes or some other means for remedying existing capacity
deficiencies. The only existing deficiency i the City's major roadway system is one segment of Burns
Road that is currently operating at worse than LOS D. However, the number of trips by. which the
Military to I -95 segment of Burns Road is overcapacity is slight, amounting to less than five percent
of capacity. In addition, this one -half mile segment is only one -third of the total project, which
covers 1.5 miles. All told, the share of the project attributable to remedying the existing deficiency is
less than $300,000 (see Table 10). Since the City is contributing more than twice this amount from
other funding sources to the project, no credit is warranted against the impact fees for existing
deficiencies.

In summary, no credit against the road impact fees is warranted for outstanding debt, gas tax
payment or existing deficiencies.
Net Cost Schedule
Based on the impact fee formula and the inputs calculated in this report, the maximum road impact
fees that can be charged by the City per unit of development for various land uses are shown in
Table 11. Impact fees could be adopted at less than 100 percent of the level shown in the net cost
schedule, provided that the reduction is applied uniformly across all land use categories in order to
retain the proportionality of the fees. In the event that the fees are discounted, however, the City
would need to come up with some other means of funding the needed road improvements on which
the fees are based. The impact fee ordinance contains a provision allowing the option of
independent fee determination studies for those applicants who can demonstrate that their
development will have less impact on the need for road facilities than indicated by the fee schedule.

I REQUEST:
City staff requests the City Council's review and approval for various amendments proposed to the
City's Comprehensive Plan. They include revisions to the Transportation Element consisting of
incorporating the City Center Linkages Plan, deleting the southern alignment of Hood Road, the
north -south linkage on the north side of Plat 4, and Fairchild extension from Northcorp
Parkway/RCA Boulevard (Blvd.) to Campus Drive from the Conceptual Thoroughfare Plan map,
and adopting the modified designation of CRALLS for PGA Blvd. Revisions to the Future Land Use
Element consist of modifying Policy 1.1.1.3 and other text regarding the definitions of future land
use categories to revise the minimum number of floors requirement for mixed -use developments.
Finally, incorporating a policy to the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to support the
Conceptual Master Plan for the U. S. 1 Corridor in Northern Palm Beach County known as the
"seven- cities plan" and amending the Capital Improvements Element to reflect the funding
mechanism for implementing the City Center Linkages Plan.
III. PROCEDURE:
This is a request initiated by staff to formally amend the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Planning
and Zoning staff review the request and forward comments and recommendations to the Local
Planning Agency. Acting in an advisory role, the Agency considers the recommendations of City
staff and makes a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council reviews the request for
approval, and makes a final determination of approval, approval with conditions, or denial.
IV. BACKGROUND'
First, staff was directed on July 15, 1999, during the "Main Street Visioning Session," to develop
a linkages plan for the proposed City Center area. The plan is multi -model and provides for
vehicular as well as pedestrian and bicycle needs and improves circulation in the central business
district of the City. The plan is one of several mitigation measures designed to elevate the impacts
of the proposed modified CRALLS designation for PGA Blvd.
Second, staff is proposing to delete the southern alignment of Hood Road because the segment
would run through a nature preserve. Instead, a northern alignment for Hood Road, which is
currently reflected on the map, will be retained on the Conceptual Thoroughfare Plan map, the
Conceptual Linkage Plan map, and the Project 2015 Traffic, LOS, & Proposed Laneage map.
Third, staff is requesting the deletion of the north -south linkage north of Plat 4 (Garden Woods)
because the residents have requested deleting it because it would result in more traffic in Garden
Woods due to the location of a traffic signal at the entrance to that neighborhood.
Fourth, requests deleting Fairchild extension from Northcorp Parkway/RCA Blvd. to Campus Drive
because this link bisects and runs through a parcel of land that has a one unified plan of development
(Legacy Place). Keeping the link would result in dividing the development essentially in half.
Fifth, staff requests revising Policy 1.1.1.3 and Policy 1.1.5.8 of the Future Land Use Element. The
revisions to Policy 1.1.1.3 and other relevant text are to amend the required minimum number of
floors (stories) for mixed -use developments with a more flexible requirement allowing for granting
•
City Council
Meeting Date: November 16, 2000
Date Prepared: October 23, 2000
Petition: Txt -00 -02
waivers from the requirement, as recommended by the Local Planning Agency (LPA). This request
is being proposed so that the City retains flexibility without having to initiate a comprehensive plan
amendment to the policy when the need arises during site plan reviews of individual mixed -use
proj ects.
The other revision to the element is to add language to Policy 1.1.5.8 to permit intensity increases
of individual units of non - conforming multifamily residential uses, provided the density of such uses
does not exceed the density permitted for the affected uses. The increase would only be allowed
with City Council approval acting upon a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning
Commission or the Local Planning Agency.
Sixth, staff requests incorporating a policy to the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to reflect
the City's support for the Conceptual Master Plan for the U. S. 1 Corridor in Northern Palm Beach
County. The plan is intended to form the basis for state and local agency cooperation and
coordination for improving the appearance of U. S. 1 for northern Palm Beach County.
The County has encouraged cities located in northern Palm Beach County to incorporate policies into
their comprehensive plans in support of the conceptual master plan and to any of the seven cities
seeking funding to implement the plan.
Seventh, staff requests modifying the Capital Improvements Element to reflect the funding option
for implementing the City Center Linkages Plan. This must be included in the element to comply
with State statutes.
Finally, staff requests modifying "Table 2A : Level of Service Standards" of the Transportation
Element to modify the level of service (LOS) for PGA Blvd. from the Florida Turnpike to Prosperity
Farms Road. The proposed designation for the various segments along PGA Blvd. is CRALLS.
V. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS:
The following are the proposed revisions to the affected policies and text. Proposed revisions to
maps and tables are underlined to reflect additions and strike through to reflect deletions.
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
Revision to page 1 -6 of the element. The same revisions are proposed to pages 1 -26 and 1 -27

• Staff requests revising Policy 1.1.5.8 of the element. The proposed revision is as follows:
Policy 1.1.5.8.: Owners of property containing uses not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and Land Development Regulations will be notified that their use is nonconforming and will be
required to come into compliance or be eliminated no later than 7 years from the date the use
became nonconforming. The City Council may, on a case -by -case basis, exempt a non-
conforming use only after a public hearing is held to consider its compatibility with surrounding
properties. The City Council may require additional buffering, screening and modifications to
bring the property more into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Land
Development Regulations. These uses will not be allowed to expand, and if damaged or
destroyed by more than 50% of their value, will not be allowed to be reestablished.
Nonconforming uses are defined as lots, structures, and uses of land and structures that were
lawful before the adoption or amendment of a regulation, but which would be prohibited,
regulated or restricted under the terms of the regulation or future amendment. However, if the
nonconforming use is a multifamily residential project of more than 250 units, the City Council
may permit an increase in the number of rooms or square footage of individual residential units,
provided that the maximum density of the affected land -use is not exceeded and conformity with
the current Land Development Regulations will be required.

Incorporate a new objective and policy into the element adopting the City Center Linkages Plan,
in accordance with Palm Beach County's request. The plan will be used as one of several
mitigation measures designed to alleviate the impacts of the CRALLS on PGA Blvd. The
language of the proposed objective and policy is as follows:
Objective 2.1.6.: The City shall continue to plan for and provide transportation facilities to
encourage various modes of transportation. The City shall also plan and provide for alternate
routes to major arterials within the City Center area, which is bounded by PGA Blvd. to the
south, Prosperity Farms Road to the east, Ad. A -1 -A to the west, and Atlantic Avenue to the
north. Accordingly, the City adopts and incorporates into the Conceptual Thoroughfare Plan
map the City Center Linkages Plan for the City Center area to serve as alternate routes to PGA
Blvd., Prosperity Farms Road, and Alt. A -1 -A, and other major thoroughfares within the City.
The plan provides facilities for vehicles, pedestrians, as well as bicyclists within the right -of way.
Policy 2.1.6.1.: The City shall require individual developments to dedicate the needed right -
of -way during the site plan review process, be consistent with, and conform to the City Center
Linkages Plan. However, the City Council may in its discretion accept a perpetual public access
easement in lieu of dedication of right -of -way on tertiary roads only. This shall apply only to
tertiary roads that are part of the City Center Linkages Plan. Individual developments required
to dedicate rights -of -way or perpetual public access easements on the collector roadways shall
be granted credit toward the City's road impact fee. Roadway alignments, right -of -way, cross
sections and construction of each link shall be consistent with the standards specified in the
City's Land Development Regulations. However, granting of waivers may permit minor
deviations from the plan and or roadway construction standards affecting such links. Such
waivers are granted only by the City Council acting upon a recommendation from the Planning
and Zoning Commission. The City reserves the right to expand the laneage within the right -of-
way and or the right -of -way itself, if so determined by the City, should the need arise in the
future on collector roads upon which the City is granted perpetual public access easements.
Maintenance of such roads shall be the sole responsibility of the property owners /developers.

City Council
Meeting Date: November 16, 2000
Date Prepared: October 23, 2000
Petition: Txt -00 -02
Policy 8.1.1.1.: The City shall encourage the implementation of the Conceptual Master Plan for the
U. S. 1 Corridor in Northern Palm Beach County known as the "seven- cities plan." Potential
developments along U. S. 1 within the City's jurisdiction will be encouraged to conform with said
plan. The City shall also provide support and assistance to nearby jurisdictions in obtaining funding
for the implementation of the plan from regional, state, and federal agencies.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
• Staff requests revising Policy 9.1.2.1 of the Capital Improvements Element to reflect the funding
option for implementing the City Center Linkages Plan. The revised policy is as follows:
Policy 9.1.2.1.: The City shall continue to collect a countywide transportation impact fee to assess
new development a pro rata share of the costs required to finance transportation improvements
necessitated by such development and shall consider adopting a city road impact fee for
neighborhood collectors and local roads of City responsibility. The City shall grant credit toward
the City's road impact fees to individual developments required to dedicate rights -of -way or
perpetual public access easements for the purpose of implementing the City Center Linkages Plan.
These collector roadways shall be developed by individual landowners whose developments will
have a direct benefit by having access onto these roadways.
VI. LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION:
The Local Planning and Zoning Agency (LPA) has recommended approval of the proposed
amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan by a vote of five to nothing. The LPA has
recommended modifications to the definition and Policy 1.1.1.3, mixed use policy, of the Future
