by the applicant,and who used generally accepted appraisal
techniques.If the City disagrees with the appraised value,the
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

be provided by law.
0.Updates and revisions of the Development Fees
1.On January 1,following each calendar year during which the
development fee schedules have not been updated to reflect changes
in construction costs,the Development Fee Administrator shall
prepare updated development fee schedules to reflect changes in
average construction costs as provided herein.The Development
Fee Administrator shall also calculate updated net costs per
service unit to be used in individual development fee calculations
using the same procedure.The proposed revisions shall then be
presented to the Mayor and City Council for action.
a.The fees in the development 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 New -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

Development Fees
Page 13 of 33
Section 7-1-2 Road Development Fees
A.Road Development Fee Schedule
At the option of the applicant,the road development fee may be
calculated based on the adopted road development fee schedule.The
Development 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 Development 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 Development 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 Development 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 data,the guidelines for determining
whether to use trip generation rates or equations set forth in the TIE
manual,and other relevant considerations.Once the appropriate land
use and travel demand factors have been determined,the Development 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 trips,as opposed to pass -by or
diverted -line trips.
Average Trip Length means the average distance per trip traveled
on the City's major roadway system.
Article 7-1
Development Fees
Page 14 of 33
Average Cost per Daily Travel Mile shall be $28.23 for the 1998
calendar year,and as recalculated by the Development Fee
Administrator in succeeding years,as provided in Section 7-1-
1.0.1.
B.Individual Assessments of Road Development 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.
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.
Article 7-1
Development Fees
Page 15 of 33
f.Such information as the Development Fee Administrator shall
reasonably request.
C.Use of Road Development Fees
1.The revenues from road development 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.
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.
3.Qualifying improvement costs include project engineering costs:
the acquisition cost of rights -of -way and easements;the
construction cost of improvement,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 development fee computations.
4.Monies collected as road development 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.Retirement of debt incurred for road facilities constructed
prior to March 1,1997:
Article 7-1
Development Fees
Page 16 of 33
c.Road improvements,such as acceleration or deceleration
lanes,that primarily serve,or are needed to mitigate the
impacts of,an individual development;
d.Repair,operation or maintenance of existing streets;
e.City personnel and consultants hired for purposes other than
those expressly permitted under Section 7-1-2.C,subsections
1 and 2 above;or
f.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.
Article 7-1
Development Fees
Page 17 of 33
Section 7-1-3 Police Development Fees
A.Police Development Fee Schedule
At the option of the applicant,the police development fee may be
calculated based on the adopted police development fee schedule.The
Development 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
Development Fee Administrator determines that the nonresidential land
use categories in the fee schedule do not accurately reflect the
proposed development,the Development 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
Development 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 TIE manual,and other relevant
considerations.Once the appropriate land use,trip generation and
other factors have been determined,the Development 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
Article 7-1
Development Fees
Page 18 of 33
Weekday ADT/1000 sf = one-way average daily trips (total trip ends
2)
Net Cost per Functional Population shall be $88.18 for the 1998
calendar year,and as recalculated by the Development
Administrator in succeeding years as provided in Section 7-1-
1.0.1.
B.Individual Assessments of Police Development Fees
1.The Police Development 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 Development Fee Administrator.
2.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 development 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 recalculated by the
City and this Ordinance is updated to reflect such
recalculation.
Net Cost per Functional Population shall be $88.18 for the
1998 calendar year,and as recalculated by the Development
Fee Administrator in succeeding years as provided in Section
7-1-1.01.

fee schedule.The Development Fee Administrator shall determine the
land use category in the fee schedule that best represents the proposed

reflect the proposed development,the Development 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 (ITE manual)or other
appropriate source.The Development 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 TIE manual,and other
relevant considerations.Once the appropriate land use,trip generation
and other factors have been determined,the Development Fee
Administrator shall calculate the fee using the following formula:
FEE = Functional population/1000 sf x Net Cost per Functional
Population
