§ 58-234. Impact fee rate schedule.

(a)

In accordance with section 58-172 of this article, the following fee rate schedule is included as table 1, table 2 and table 3 supplements (revised), and made a part hereof to be used to directly calculate fees. The fee rates have been calculated using the following method of calculation and described in greater detail in the "Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan," November 4, 1992, using recognized accepted trip generation rates. Figure 1 (Sandy Springs) and figure 2 (North Fulton County) are graphic illustrations of the transportation service areas (revised).

(1)

Gross transportation impact fee calculation is as follows:

a.

Cost Per Trip by TSA (CPT)

Improvement costs for new capacity (construction and right-of-way)/total projected new vehicle trips = Cost Per Trip

b.

Trip Generation Factor (TGF)

ITE Trip Generation × New Trips Factor (if applicable) × unit of development = Trip Generation Factor

c.

Total Discount (TD)

Tax Discount + ROW + System improvements made = Total Discount (TD)

d.

Fee calculation

CPT × TGF = GIF (Gross Impact Fee)

GIF - TD = Net Impact Fee

(2)

The gross transportation impact fee calculated using table 2 and table 3 supplements include several potential credits:

a.

Credit for future property tax revenue shall be subtracted from all applicable gross impact fee calculations using the methodology outlined in Appendix A, Development Impact Fee: Credit for Property Tax Revenue.

b.

Credit for previous contribution or dedication of land for system improvements or the construction of system improvements as described in section 58-175(c)(1) and (c)(2) of this article shall be subtracted from the gross impact fee calculation.

c.

Credit for previous contribution or dedication of money as described in section 58-175(c)(3) of this article shall be subtracted from the gross impact fee calculation.

d.

Other credits as described in section 58-175 of this article shall be subtracted from the gross impact fee calculation.

(b)

If there is an application to permit development of a land use not included in the fee rate schedule, the county manager shall cause a fee to be established based on the trip generation rates for that land use as published in the most recent edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (I.T.E.) "Trip Generation Manual," or in the methods described in the "Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan," November 4, 1992.
