STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 13, 1999 •
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Brad Friel, AICP, Capital Projects/Transportation Planner
THROUGH: Russ Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning 7
SUBJECT: Ordinance Number: 99-24; Road Impact Fee Update
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance Number: 99-24 to amend Sections 87-1
through 87-13 and to adopt a new Section 87-14 of Article I of Chapter 87 of the Code of Ordinances of
the City of Ocoee entitled Road Impact Fees?
BACKGROUND:
Ocoee's Road Impact Fee Ordinance was initially adopted in March 1989 and most recently updated in
February 1996. The purpose of the Ordinance is to ensure that new development pays a fair share of the
anticipated cost of required City roadway system improvements necessary to serve new development.
The existing fee schedule is based on an inventory of the existing roadway system, an analysis of existing
roadway system deficiencies and an analysis of roadway system needs contained in a report entitled
"Traffic Impact Fee Final Study dated January 1996". It has been the intent of the City Commission to
periodically revise this Ordinance to adjust the fee schedule to reflect changes in Ocoee's growth patterns
and changes in the cost of constructing new roadway facilities.
DISCUSSION:
On November 17, 1998,the City Commission accepted the Ocoee Transportation Master Plan. This plan
included a comprehensive inventory of the City's existing and future land uses, an inventory of the
existing City roadway system, and an analysis of the City's existing and future roadway system
deficiencies and needs. Shortly thereafter, Staff was directed to prepare a road impact fee update in
order to bring the road impact fees more in line with actual improvement costs to ensure a fair share
contribution for roadway needs created by new development.
The road impact fee update prepared by Staff and SAIC, the City's transportation consultant,
recommended changing the methodology by which Ocoee calculates its road impact fee from an
improvements driven approach to a standards driven approach. The improvements driven approach
identifies specific roadway improvements to be financed by impact fees. By contrast, the standards
driven approach looks at the cost to provide each additional unit of roadway capacity that a given
development consumes. Although both methodologies are used throughout Florida, the majority of local
governments, including Orange County, use the standards driven approach. The standards driven

approach allows more flexibility in funding needed improvements resulting from new development and is
generally more legally defensible.
Using the new Transportation Master Plan and new methodology, an updated road impact fee was
developed for each land use. As shown in the attached Table 1, the recommended impact fee for each
land use category has increased for most land uses with the exception of some retail and service uses.
Generally, the increased fee is a result of the updated roadway construction cost, trip generation rates
and average trip length. Those land uses that have a reduced impact fee are generally land uses that
have had a reduction in the nationally recognized trip length and trip generation rates.
Comparisons were also made between Ocoee's existing and recommended road impact fees and those
of Orange County and several cities in Central Florida. This comparison, shown in Table 2 and Figure 1,
was made using two typical land uses: a single family dwelling unit and a retail establishment under
50,000 square feet. Ocoee's updated road impact fee will be less than the impact fee recently adopted
by Orange County, and falls somewhere in the middle when compared with several peer municipalities.
The recommended road impact fee is expected to generate$50 million in revenue over a 20 year period.
This represents 70 percent of the total cost to implement the Transportation Master Plan. The remaining
balance will be covered through other revenue sources and developer contributions.
CITY COMMISSION AND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WORKSHOP
On December 8, 1998 a special workshop was held by the City Commission and Planning and Zoning
Commission to hear a Staff presentation on the Ocoee Road Impact Fee Update and to allow for the
Commission to discuss issues that related to the update. The minutes of this workshop are attached to
this staff report. The outcome of this workshop was a direction by the City Commission that Staff prepare
an Ordinance that updates the existing Road Impact Fee Ordinance.
UPDATED ROAD IMPACT FEE ORDINANCE
Following the direction of the City Commission, City Staff has worked with the City Attorney to amend the
existing Road Impact Fee Ordinance. A copy of Ordinance Number 99-24 is attached to this Staff
Report. As you read the Ordinance, you will notice that the item or text that has been deleted from the
existing Ordinance has a line through it, while the added items or text has been underlined. The
amendments recommended by Staff are to sections of the existing Road Impact Fee Ordinance that
cover alternative fee calculations, development agreements, road impact fee credits, vested rights,
exemptions and use of funds. These changes, which are mostly clarifications of existing policy, are
recommended in order to work more effectively with developers in the development review process. The
proposed new Schedule of Fees, (Exhibit "A" in the attached Ordinance) reflects the fees that were
recommended in the Road Impact Fee Update that was discussed by the City Commission on December
8, 1998.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance Number 99-24
to amend Sections 87-1 through 87-13 and to adopt a new Section 87-14 of Article I of Chapter 87 of the
Code of Ordinances of the City of Ocoee entitled Road Impact Fees.

MINUTES OF F THE OCOEE CITY COMMISSION WORKSHOP HELD
DECEMBER 8, 1998
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Vandergrift called the workshop to order at 6:12 p.m. in the Commission Chambers, and
announced that the first part of the meeting concerning Impact Fees would be followed by
discussion regarding the increase in members for the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
clerk called the roll and all were present.
PRESENT: Mayor Vandergrift, Commissioners Anderson, Glass, Howell, and Parker. Also
present were City Manager Shapiro, City Attorney Rosenthal, City Clerk Grafton and consultants
Whit Blanton and Kevin Tilburry.
ABSENT: None.
Mayor Vandergrift turned the meeting over to Mr. Whit Blanton, of Science Applications
International Corporation (SAIC). Mr. Blanton gave a presentation and pointed out, with the
increasing growth of the City of Ocoee, the necessity to increase the impact fees for future
transportation demands. Mr. Kevin. Tilbury, also of SAIC, explained how the impact fee
worked and talked about the costs that would be incurred for the next 20 years based on the
Transportation Master Plan for Ocoee. Mr. Blanton and Mr. Tilbury recommended the
Commission adopt an updated fee schedule by land use categories.
City Manager Shapiro stated for the record, concerning the bond issue recently passed, the
projection was based on the old impact fee rates.
Mayor Vandergrift and Commissioners Anderson and Howell had questions concerning how
the trip counts were done for certain businesses and the increase in impact fees for single family
homes. There was lengthy discussion.
Mayor Vandergrift polled the Commissioners for their reactions..
Commissioner Parker said she understood the need but was not happy about the increase in the
price of houses that would be caused by the new impact fees.
Commissioner Glass was not happy with the increased cost of houses and roads but was happy
with the analysis. He said better roads would increase property values and make life easier so it
would be worth paying the extra fee.
Mayor Vandergrift said that increased fees may slow growth and that he saw a possible benefit
to balance the community adding more commercial property. He said he is not happy with the
increase in fees to single family houses but also could see a benefit with the reduction in certain
business impact fees to attract more of these types of businesses to the -City. Mayor
Vandergrift also questioned if it would be possible to consider a category concerning affordable
housing, with a reduction in impact fees.
Ocoee City Commission Workshop
December 8, 1998
Commissioner Anderson said he was unhappy and wanted to give less of a reduction to
commercial properties and had questions concerning exemptions.
City Attorney Rosenthal said this type of study was done in order to get a legally supportable
position.
After a short discussion the polling continued.
Commissioner Howell said he was never happy with raising costs but saw the need for it to be
done.
Mayor Vandergrift said he counted three "Happys" (marginally so), two "almost Happys" and
gave staff direction to draft an ordinance.
Commissioner Howell questioned how the City could charge impact fees repeatedly for the
same property as in mobile homes.
Director of Planning Wagner said the City needed to take a look at the ordinance and how the
impact fee is administered.
City Attorney Rosenthal explained that an impact fee was generated by the pulling of a
building permit or whatever the equivalent is for placing a mobile home on a lot.
City Manager Shapiro asked Commissioner Howell to bring the information pertaining to this
particular situation and he would check into it.
At this time the discussion concerning Impact Fees was ended and the workshop continued
with discussion about increasing the number of regular members of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Commissioner Glass said he had suggested increasing the size of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, since reviewing minutes from their meetings he noticed repeatedly 4-0 or 4-1 votes
on issues and felt that the small number did not adequately represent the citizens. He said he also
noticed that the board was made up of citizens living in the older part of the city and would
encourage broadening the board geographically, at this time, as well. He commended the present
members for doing a tremendous job in bringing the City of Ocoee from its past to the present.
Chairman Switzer responded that he had given it thought and agreed that 9 members would be
a good number and recommended doing away with the alternate positions.
Member Bond said she had asked that they be advised what districts they live in but had not
received that information. It was pointed out to Member Bond that this information had been
previously provided to all the Board Members.

Ocoee City Commission Workshop
December 8, 1998
Mayor Vandergrift suggested extending the terms to 3 years and also continuing to have the
alternates for training purposes.
Member Landefeld talked about the rules concerning how alternates voted on the board.
Mayor Vandergrift stated he would like the board to increase to 9 members with 2 alternates,
who would be allowed to vote when seated on the board, and increase their terms to 3 years. He
polled the Commission for their opinions.
Commissioner Parker said she agreed with the Mayor's proposal.
Commissioner Glass agreed, but said that it would be hard to find people who would commit to
serve for that length of time.
Commissioner Anderson concurred with Commissioner Glass and added that the 3 year term
could scare away a potential member.
Commissioner Howell also agreed with Commissioner Glass.
Mayor Vandergrift said based on what was discussed at this meeting he would direct Staff to
draft an ordinance with 9 regular members and 2 alternates for 3 years, to debate the length of the
term at the time of voting. He also cautioned the Commissioners to be looking for more board
members in their districts.
City Attorney Rosenthal asked how the Commission wanted to address the geographical
distribution. Mayor Vandergrift asked him to bring back a recommendation.
Commissioner Glass suggested drawing lines to divide the City into geographic districts rather
than political districts.'
Alternate Member McKey said he supported Chairman Switzer's position for 9 regular
members with no alternate members and said, concerning the geographic areas, he did not think
people could be forced to serve on a board.
Chairman Switzer restated that he thought the alternates should be skipped and have 9
permanent members.
City Attorney Rosenthal advised this would be an amendment to the Land Development Code
(LDC) and he would take direction from the Commission, prepare an Ordinance which would
then, due to procedure in dealing with amendments to the LDC, be sent to the Planning and
Zoning Commission, they in turn would forward the amendment to the Commission with their
recommendations. -

operational or capacity mitigation; or contributions of land, money or
services contributed or previously contributed by the applicant or his
predecessor in interest as a condition of any development agreement
entered into with the city so long as such development agreement
expressly provided for road impact fee credits of any kind with respect
thereto. Any improvements after which credits are granted must be
demonstrated to be consistent with and further the Ocoee Transportation
Master Plan. create excess transpeFtatien capacity to the city's
Such credit shall be
based on the following criteria:
(1) The actual cost of off-site related improvements by the applicant.
