END OF CONSENT AGENDA PUBLIC HEARING 24 Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance amending Chapter 7.5 of the City Code providing for the establishment of procedures for assessing and collecting impact fees, establishing provisions for credits against impact fees, providing an appeals procedure, adopting revised land use assumptions, adopting Capital Improvements Plans and impact fees for roadway, water and wastewater facilities. (The public hearing for this item was continued from the January 6, 2020, City Council meeting.) A public hearing was held to consider amending Chapter 7.5 of the City Code providing for the establishment of procedures for assessing and collecting impact fees, establishing provisions for credits against impact fees, providing an appeals procedure, adopting revised land use assumptions, adopting Capital Improvements Plans and impact fees for roadway, water and wastewater facilities. Jeff Armstrong, Director of Planning and Development Services, stated that the most recent full study of roadway impact fees was completed in 2015. Since that time, the City has annexed several properties in Kaufman County. Since the annexed properties were not part of the 2015 Impact Fee Study, roadway impact City of Mesquite, Texas Page 7 City Council Minutes - Final January 21, 2020 fees cannot be collected on those properties. However, water and sewer impact fees can be collected in the recently annexed areas as long as the City has rights to serve water. The proposed update to the land use assumptions, Capital Improvements Program and fee will allow the City to assess and collect impact fees in those areas annexed since 2015. The update includes newly annexed areas in Service Area C, classification changes in Service Area C and the bordering streets between Service Area B and C due to the updated Thoroughfare Plan and upcoming developments in Service Area C. The land use assumptions include three new developments in Service Area C – Polo Ridge, Trailwind and Trinity Point Village. Mr. Armstrong stated that impact fees collected in a service area can only be spent in that service area. Staff is proposing no changes to the collection rate which will be evaluated in Fiscal Year 2020-21. No one appeared regarding the establishment of procedures for assessing and collecting impact fees, establishing provisions for credits against impact fees, providing an appeals procedure, adopting revised land use assumptions, adopting Capital Improvements Plans and impact fees for roadway, water and wastewater facilities. Mr. Green moved to approve Ordinance No. 4756, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MESQUITE, TEXAS, AMENDING THE CODE OF THE CITY OF MESQUITE, TEXAS, AS AMENDED, BY DELETING CHAPTER 7.5 IN ITS ENTIRETY AND ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 7.5; PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PROCEDURES FOR ASSESSING AND COLLECTING IMPACT FEES; ESTABLISHING PROVISIONS FOR CREDITS AGAINST IMPACT FEES; PROVIDING AN APPEALS PROCEDURE; ADOPTING REVISED LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS; ADOPTING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLANS AND IMPACT FEES FOR ROADWAY, WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A PENALTY NOT TO EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED ($500.00) DOLLARS FOR EACH OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

B. A resolution authorizing the process for the creation of a moratorium to take effect on applications and plans for development for permits, plats, verifications, rezonings and site plans for convenience stores within the corporate City limits of Mesquite. Cliff Keheley, City Manager, stated that the City Council will consider initiating a process to address regulations on convenience stores in the city.
