City of Austin Interactive Webinar on The Street Impact Fee Program

July 21, 2020

Online meeting

11:45 am - 1:00 pm

The City of Austin is proposing to adopt and implement a Street Impact Fee Program which is a charge assessed on new development to pay for the construction or expansion of roadway facilities that are necessitated by and benefit that new development. While some developments currently contribute to transportation infrastructure needs, the proposed Street Impact Fee Program is anticipated to improve equity, transparency, and predictability during the development process. The adoption of a Street Impact Fee would improve the development process by administering a consistent and predictable way for the City and developers to calculate a development project’s transportation demands and assess fees to fund the needed capital improvements.

On July 21, a panel of policymakers, experts and stakeholders will share their insights on the Street Impact Fee Study Report findings and discuss the approach for crafting an ordinance and the related policies to administer the program.

Panelist Include:

• Ann Kitchen, City Council Member D-5
• Annick Beaudet, Asst. Dir., ATD, City of Austin
• Bobak Tehrany, Member, Impact Fee Advisory Committee
  (IFAC)
• Scott Turner, Evolve Austin/Developer
• D.J. Harrell, Dir. of Dev. Svcs., City of Fort Worth
