1.This Section 7-1 shall be known as the "Impact Fee Ordinance,"and
may be referred to herein as "this Ordinance."
2.This Ordinance is intended to ensure timely construction of off-
site public capital improvements that are necessary to serve new
development by ensuring that necessary financing is available for
such improvements.The impact fees to be paid by each new
development pursuant to this Ordinance are to be proportional to
the impact that the new development will have on the types of
facilities for which the fees are charged.
3.The City official with primary responsibility for administering
this Ordinance is referred to herein as the Impact Fee
Administrator.The Impact Fee Administrator shall be the Director
of Development Services unless another person is so designated by
the City Manager.The Impact Fee Administrator may delegate
authority conferred by this Ordinance to other appropriate City
staff.
B.Applicability
The collection of impact fees shall apply to all new development in the
City,unless otherwise provided herein.Until any impact fee required
by this Ordinance has been paid in full,no building permit,electrical
permit,certificate of compliance,certificate of occupancy,or other
permit for any development shall be issued.A stop work order shall be
issued on any development for which the applicable impact fee has not
been paid in full.
1.Park and library impact fees shall apply only to new residential
development.
PAGE 1 OF 20
2.The movement of a structure onto a lot shall be considered
development and shall be subject to the impact fee provisions,
unless otherwise provided herein.
3.Impact fees for recreational vehicle parks shall be assessed for
the entire development,based on the number of recreational
vehicle spaces created,at the time of application for the first
building,electrical,or other permit for the development.No
additional impact fees shall be assessed on subsequent building or
electrical permits in the recreational vehicle park unless
additional spaces are created.
4.The impact fee provisions shall not apply to the following
actions:
a.Placing on a lot in the City a temporary construction
trailer or office,but only for the life of the building
permit issued for the construction served by the trailer or
office:and
b.Any development,including but not limited to the mere
subdivision of land,installation of utilities,or the use
of land for limited recreational,agricultural,filling or
dredging purposes,which,in the opinion of the Impact Fee
Administrator,will not result in a net increase of more
than one (1)one-way Average Daily Trip.

5.For categories of uses not specified in the applicable impact fee
schedule,the Impact Fee Administrator shall apply the category of
use set forth in the applicable fee schedule that is deemed to be
most similar to the proposed use.
6.If any plan or permit approval for the proposed development
indicates a mix of uses in the development,the impact fees shall
be calculated separately for each use according to the fee
schedule,and the results aggregated.
7.For an addition to or remodeling or replacement of existing
structures,or for a change of use of an existing structure,the
impact fee to be paid shall be the difference,if any,between:
a.the fee,if any,that would be payable for existing
development on the site or,in the case of demolition or
removal of a structure,the previous development on the
site,provided that the demolition or removal has occurred
within one (1)year of the date of submittal of the
application for which impact fees are assessed;and
b.the fee,if any,that would be payable for the total
development on the site after the new development.
8.Upon written request of an applicant,the Impact Fee Administrator
shall provide an estimate of the current fee based on the data
provided by the applicant.However,the Impact Fee Administrator
shall not be responsible for determining at such preliminary date
the accuracy of the information provided,nor shall such estimate
provide any vested rights.
F.Individual Assessment of Impact Fees
If any person submitting an application for which payment of an impact
fee is a prerequisite to approval believes that the impacts of the
proposed development will be substantially less than would be indicated
by using the fee schedule,such person may request to perform an
individual assessment of the impact of the proposed development.A
request for an individual assessment must be made prior to submittal of
an application for a building permit.
PAGE 5 OF 20
1.The individual assessment shall be subject to the following
special standards and procedures:
a.Road Impact Fees:as set forth in Section 7-1-2.B.

for all new development shall be calculated and collected in
conjunction with the application for the first building permit or
electrical permit,certificate of compliance or occupancy,or
other permit for such development,whichever occurs first in time.
2.For other uses not ultimately requiring a building permit,
electrical permit,certificate of compliance or occupancy,or
other permit,the fee shall be calculated and collected at such
time as determined by the Impact Fee Administrator.
H.Fund Accounting for Impact Fees
1.The City shall establish a separate accounting fund in which the
impact fees collected for a particular type of facility within the
service area shall be credited.Such fees shall be invested by
the City and the yield on such fees,at the actual rate of return
to the City,shall be credited to such accounting fund
periodically in accordance with the accounting policies of the
City.Such funds need not be segregated from other City monies
for banking purposes.
2.Any yield on such accounting fund into which the fees are
deposited shall accrue to that fund and shall be used for the
purposes specified for such fund.
PAGE 6 OF 20
3.The City shall maintain and keep financial records for such
accounting fund showing the revenues to such fund and the
disbursements from such fund,in accordance with normal City
accounting practices.The records of such fund shall be open to

1.Any impact fee or portion thereof collected pursuant to this
Ordinance,which has not been committed for a use permitted by
Section 7-1-1.1:Expenditure of Impact Fees,within seven (7)
years from the last day of the fiscal year in which it was
received by the City,shall be refunded to the current record
owner of the property upon written application.Impact fees shall
be deemed to be "committed"in the order in which they are
received and committed by the City.The refund shall include
accrued interest at the rate of return on investments earned by
the City on such amount.In disbursing such funds the City may
rely on the written certification of the current record owner of
the property as to his entitlement to the refund,in the absence
of a written assertion by another party that such proposed payee
is not the proper payee.If in doubt,the City may deposit such
funds in an appropriate court for disposition as the court may
determine.In such event,the City may deduct from the funds
deposited an amount equal to the reasonable cost of causing the
funds to be deposited with the court,including reasonable
attorney's fees.
2.If development for which an impact fee has been paid has not
begun,the impact fee and any accrued interest thereon shall be
PAGE 7 OF 20
returned to the applicant provided that the applicant applies for
the refund in writing within sixty (60)days after the expiration
of the building permit or other approval (or any extension
thereof)on which it was assessed.
3.The City shall charge an administrative fee for verifying and
computing the refund of three percent (3%)of the amount of the
refund.
K.Offsets to Impact Fees
Offsets,which are reductions from the impact fee that would otherwise
be due from a development,shall be subject to the following provisions.
1.An offset shall be applied against impact fees otherwise due for
qualifying improvements,as defined in Section 7-1-1.1:
Expenditure of Impact Fees,that are required to be made by a
developer as a condition of development approval.
2.Offsets shall be allowable and payable only to offset impact fees
otherwise due for the same category of improvements and shall not
result in reimbursement from,nor constitute a liability of,the
City.
3.Offsets shall be given only for the value of any construction of
improvements or contribution or dedication of land or money by a
developer or his predecessor in title or interest for qualifying
improvements of the same category for which an impact fee was
imposed.
4.The person applying for an offset shall be responsible for
providing appraisals of land and improvements,construction cost
figures,and documentation of all contributions and dedications
necessary to the computation of the offset claimed.The Impact
Fee Administrator shall have no obligation to grant offsets to any
person who cannot provide such documentation in such form as the
Impact Fee Administrator may reasonably require.
5.The value of land dedicated or donated shall be based on the
appraised land value of the parent parcel (which land value is
based on the date of transfer of ownership to the City)as
determined by a certified appraiser who was selected and paid for
by the applicant,and who used generally accepted appraisal
techniques.If the City disagrees with the appraised value,the
PAGE 8 OF 20
City may engage another appraiser at the City's expense,and the
value shall be an amount equal to the average of the two
appraisals.If either party rejects the average of the two
appraisals,a third appraisal shall be obtained,with the cost of
such third appraisal being shared equally by the property owner
and the City.The third appraiser shall be selected by the first
two appraisers,and the third appraisal shall be binding on both
parties.
6.Offsets provided for qualifying improvements meeting the
requirements of this section shall be valid from the date of
approval until seven (7)years after the date of approval or until
the last date of construction within the project,whichever occurs
first.
7.The right to claim offsets shall run with the land and may be
claimed only by owners of property within the development for
which the qualifying improvement was required.
8.Any claim for offsets must be made no later than the time of
submittal of a building permit application or application for
another permit that is subject to impact fees.Any claim not so
made shall be deemed waived.
L.Developer Agreements for Impact Fees
1.Where a development includes or requires a qualifying improvement,
as defined in Section 7-1-1.1:Expenditure of Impact Fees,the
City and the developer may agree in writing to have the developer
participate in the financing or construction of part or all of the
qualifying improvements.Such agreement may provide for cash
reimbursements,offsets,or other appropriate compensation to the
developer for the developer's participation in the financing
and/or construction of the improvements.
2.The agreement shall include:
a.the estimated cost of the qualifying improvements,using the
lowest responsive bid by a qualified bidder,which bid is
approved by the Impact Fee Administrator;or,if no bid is
available,the estimated cost certified by a licensed
Arizona engineer and approved by the Impact Fee
Administrator;
PAGE 9 OF 20
b.a schedule for initiation and completion of the improvement;
c.a requirement that the improvement be designed and completed
in compliance with any applicable City ordinances;and,
d.such other terms and conditions as deemed necessary by the
City.
M.Relief Procedures and Hearings
The developer who owes or has paid an impact fee may appeal the
assessment or payment of the fee to the Board of Adjustment in
accordance with procedures applicable to administrative appeals.
N.Impact Fee as Supplemental Regulation to Other Financing Methods
1.Except as herein otherwise provided,impact fees are in addition
to any other requirements,taxes,fees,or assessments imposed by
the City on development or the issuance of building permits or
certificates of occupancy which are imposed on and due against
property within the jurisdiction of the City.Impact fees are
intended to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan,
Capital Improvements Program,Land Development Code,and other
City policies,ordinances and resolutions by which the City seeks
to ensure the provision of capital facilities in conjunction with
development.
2.In addition to the use of impact fees,the City may finance
qualifying capital improvements through the issuance of bonds,the
formation of assessment districts or any other authorized
mechanism,in such manner and subject to such limitations as may
be provided by law.
0.Updates and Revisions of the Impact Fees
1.On January 1 following each calendar year during which the impact
fee schedules have not been updated to reflect changes in
construction costs,the Impact Fee Administrator shall prepare
updated impact fee schedules to reflect changes in average
construction costs as provided herein.The Impact Fee
Administrator shall also calculate updated net costs per service
unit to be used in individual impact fee calculations using the
same procedure.The proposed revisions shall then be presented to
the Mayor and City Council for action.
PAGE 10 OF 20
a.The fees in the impact fee schedules and the net costs per
service unit shall be multiplied by the following
Construction Cost Factor.
b.The Construction Cost Factor shall be the ratio of the most
current quarterly national Construction Cost Index (CCI)
published by Engineering News -Record magazine divided by the
CCI for the same quarter of the previous year.In the event
that the CCI ceases to be published,the Construction Cost
Factor shall be calculated in a comparable manner using the
national Consumer Price Index,All Urban Consumers published
by the U.S.Census Bureau.
2.Not less often than every three (3)years,the Planning
Commission,following a public hearing,shall review and,i f
warranted,recommend changes in the schedules of impact fees.
Factors to be considered may include,without limitation,past and
projected growth in residential and nonresidential development.
qualifying improvements actually constructed,changing levels of
service,revised cost estimates for qualifying improvements,
changes in the availability of other funding sources,changes in
demand generation characteristics,sources of non -City funds and
such other factors as may be relevant.
Section 7-1-2 Road Impact Fees
A.Road Impact Fee Schedule
At the option of the applicant,the Road Impact Fee may be calculated
based on the adopted Road Impact Fee Schedule.The Impact Fee
Administrator shall determine the land use category in the fee schedule
that best represents the proposed use in terms of trip generation
characteristics.In the event that the Impact Fee Administrator
determines that the land use categories,trip generation rates or
primary trip factors in the fee schedule do not accurately reflect the
proposed development,the Impact Fee Administrator shall determine the
fee based on the land use categories,trip generation rates or equations
and/or primary trip data contained in the most current edition of the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual (ITE
manual).The Impact Fee Administrator shall make the determination of
the appropriate land use category,trip generation rate or equation and
primary trip factor based on the appropriateness and quality of the
PAGE 11 OF 20
data,the guidelines for determining whether to use trip generation
rates or equations set forth in the ITE manual,and other relevant
considerations.Once the appropriate land use and travel demand factors
have been determined,the Impact Fee Administrator shall calculate the
fee using the following formula.
FEE = One -Way Average Daily Trips (ADT)x Primary Trip
Factor x Average Trip Length x Average Cost per Daily Travel
Mile.
Where:
One -Way Average Daily Trips means one-half the average daily trip
ends on a weekday.
Primary Trip Factor means the percentage of average daily trips to
or from the development that are primary trips,as opposed to
pass -by or diverted -link trips.
Average Trip Length means the average distance per trip traveled
on the City's major roadway system.
Average Cost per Daily Travel Mile shall be $22.65 for the 1997
calendar year,and as recalculated by the Impact Fee Administrator
in succeeding years as provided in Section 7-1-1.0.1.
B.Individual Assessments of Road Impact Fees
1.The individual assessment shall be prepared by a qualified traffic
engineer or engineering firm at the cost of the applicant.
2.The traffic study shall be signed by the traffic engineer
submitting the assessment and shall include,without limitation,
the following elements:
a.A projection of the number of vehicular trips entering and
departing from the project during an average weekday.
b.If the site is already developed,and some or all of the
existing development will be replaced by the completed
project,a calculation of the number of vehicular trips for
that portion of the existing development which will be
replaced by the completed project.
PAGE 12 OF 20
c.The percentage of those trips identified in a.and b.above
which are "primary trips"(as opposed to "pass -by trips"or
"diverted -link trips"for which the project is not the
primary destination).
d.The average length of those trips on the City's major
roadway system.
e.The assumptions and conclusions from which any projections
are made.If the assumptions or conclusions are derived
from the current edition of the ITE manual or other standard
reference materials,the materials shall be identified and
appropriate excerpts or specific references provided.
Otherwise,the reasoning underlying the assumptions and
conclusions shall be clearly stated in writing.
f.Such other information as the Impact Fee Administrator shall
reasonably request.
3.The Impact Fee Administrator shall determine the fee based on the
review of the independent assessment and the guidelines and
formula described in the preceding Section 7-1-2.A.Road Impact
Fee Schedule.
C.Use of Road Impact Fees
1.The revenues from Road Impact Fees collected within the service
area and accrued interest on such revenues shall be used to
finance project costs of qualifying major roadway improvements,as
determined by the City Council,provided that the improvements are
shown on the City's Capital Improvements Program and are located
within the same service area.Road Impact Fee revenues may also
be used to reimburse a developer for improvements to the City's
major roadway system as set forth in a developer agreement.
regardless of whether the improvement is listed in the Capital
Improvements Program.
2.Qualifying road improvements are limited to improvements to the
City's major roadway system.The City's major roadway system
consists of all City -maintained roadways or portions thereof that
are classified as collectors or arterials by the City of Apache
Junction's adopted Street Classification Plan.
PAGE 13 OF 20
3.Qualifying improvement costs include project engineering costs;
the acquisition cost of rights -of -way and easements:the
construction cost of improvements,including,but not limited to.
street travel lanes,public pedestrian and bicycle pathways,
turning lanes,lighting,signalization,signage and landscaping
improvements that are required for the roadway improvement to
function effectively:and the principal,interest and other
financing costs of bonds,notes or other obligations issued by or
on behalf of the City to finance qualified improvements.Such
revenues may also fund the cost of consultants used in updating
the transportation portion of the Capital Improvements Program and
in updating the road impact fee computations.
4.Monies collected as Road Impact Fees shall not be used to pay for
any of the following:
a.construction,acquisition or expansion of public facilities
other than qualifying road improvements:
b.road improvements,such as acceleration or deceleration
lanes,that primarily serve,or are needed to mitigate the
impacts of,an individual development:
c.repair,operation or maintenance of existing streets;
d.City personnel and consultants hired for purposes other than
those expressly permitted under Section 7-1-2.C,subsections
1 and 2 above:or
e.streets and related transportation improvements that are
within or adjacent to and intended to serve only a specific
development such as a new residential subdivision.
Section 7-1-3 Police Impact Fees
A.Police Impact Fee Schedule
At the option of the applicant,the Police Impact Fee may be calculated
based on the adopted Police Impact Fee Schedule.The Impact Fee
Administrator shall determine the land use category in the fee schedule
that best represents the proposed use in terms of functional population
characteristics.In the event that the Impact Fee Administrator
determines that the nonresidential land use categories in the fee
PAGE 14 OF 20
schedule do not accurately reflect the proposed development,the Impact
Fee Administrator shall determine the fee based on the land use
categories,trip generation rates or equations,average vehicle
occupancy and/or other data contained in the most current edition of the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual (TIE
manual)or other appropriate source.The Impact Fee Administrator shall
make the determination of the appropriate land use category,trip
generation rate or equation and other factors based on the
appropriateness and quality of the data,the guidelines for determining
whether to use trip generation rates or equations set forth in the ITE
manual,and other relevant considerations.Once the appropriate land
use,trip generation and other factors have been determined,the Impact
Fee Administrator shall calculate the fee using the following formula.
FEE = Functional population/1000 sf x Net Cost per
Functional Population
Where:
Functional population/1000 sf =(employee hours/1000 sf + visitor
hours/1000 sf)+ 16 hours/day
Employee hours/1000 sf = employees/1000 sf x 10 hrs/day
Visitor hours/1000 sf = visitors/1000 sf x 1 hour/visit
Visitors/1000 sf = weekday ADT/1000 sf x avg.vehicle occupancy -
employees/1000 sf
Weekday ADT/1000 sf = one-way average daily trips (total trip ends
—2)
Net Cost per Functional Population shall be $72.07 for the 1997
calendar year,and as recalculated by the Impact Fee Administrator
in succeeding years as provided in Section 7-1-1.0.1.
B.Individual Assessments of Police Impact Fees
The Police Impact Fee may be calculated based upon individual
assessment.An individual assessment shall be at the cost of the
applicant,and shall be performed by a traffic engineer or other
professional as approved by the Impact Fee Administrator.
PAGE 15 OF 20
1.The individual assessment for a residential use shall include,
without limitation,the data sources and calculations used to
derive the average household size for the type of dwelling units
proposed.The impact fee per dwelling unit shall be calculated
according to the following formula:
FEE = Average Household Size x Occupancy Factor x Net Cost per
Functional Population
Where:
Average Household Size is the average number of persons residing
in occupied dwelling units of the proposed housing type.
Occupancy Factor shall be 0.50 until re -calculated by the City and
this Ordinance is updated to reflect such re -calculation.
Net Cost per Functional Population shall be $72.07 for the 1997
calendar year,and as recalculated by the Impact Fee Administrator
in succeeding years as provided in Section 7-1-1.0.1.
2.The individual assessment for a nonresidential use shall include,
without limitation,the following elements:
a.A projection of the number of vehicular trips entering and
departing from the project during an average weekday.
b.The average number of persons occupying vehicles entering
the project.
c.The average number of hours spent by employees and visitors
at the site during an average weekday.
d.The assumptions and conclusions from which any projections
are made.If the assumptions or conclusions are derived
from the current edition of the ITE manual or other standard
reference materials,the materials shall be identified and
appropriate excerpts or specific references provided.
Otherwise,the reasoning underlying the assumptions and
conclusions shall be clearly stated in writing.
e.Such other information as the Impact Fee Administrator shall
reasonably request.
PAGE 16 OF 20
3.The Impact Fee Administrator shall determine the fee based on the
review of the independent assessment and the guidelines and
formula described in the preceding Section 7-1-3.A,Police Impact
Fee Schedule,or the formula for residential uses described in
Section 7-1-3.B.1.
C.Use of Police Impact Fees
1.The revenues from Police Impact Fees collected within the service
area and accrued interest on such revenues shall be used to
finance project costs of qualifying police improvements,as
determined by the City Council,provided that the improvements are
shown on the Capital Improvements Program and are located within
the same service area.
2.Qualifying police improvements are limited to capital improvements
to the City's Public Safety Building,acquisition of capital
equipment required for police operations,or other similar
