Board of County Commissioners 12/2/2014 7G Adopted P
REPORT: First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Commissioner Jordan expressed concern about the developer’s ability to seek a third party cost analysis. She inquired whether third party costs would need to be decided upon jointly by both the County and the developer or independently by the developer, noting this could potentially expose the County to liability if the developer believed that the third party costs were fair. Deputy Mayor Alina Hudak explained that the Department Director would oversee and approve the methodology and the process used to hire the transportation engineer. She said that a new methodology was needed to review trip generation information and that this proposal would provide the flexibility to do so. Deputy Mayor Hudak indicated that this proposal was designed to codify previous practice or to update the work being conducted with the development industry to be more responsive to previous issues. She pointed out that ultimately the authority remained with the Administration to define third party costs. Commissioner Jordan pointed out that the language stated that “developers may at their cost seek a third party analysis to determine accurate costs.” While acknowledging that the Department was not required to accept that analysis, she said the County’s costs would not be accurate if there was disagreement. Deputy Mayor Hudak noted the goal was to have the developer pay for the analysis; therefore, it was ultimately the developer’s decision to do so. She said the County was concerned about the outcome of the analysis and how that outcome fell within the criteria defined in the ordinance. Commissioner Jordan said that it was ultimately the County’s decision whether to accept a cost differential between staff’s determination and the analysis. She noted the County would be in conflict with itself if the costs were different. Commissioner Jordan inquired whether the County had already determined the cost that the developer needed to pay. Deputy Mayor Hudak indicated that there was a calculation as to the value of the impact fee. Commissioner Jordan said that the developer could obtain a third party analysis where the costs may be in their favor. She asked whether there would be a conflict in the event that the cost of the third party analysis was different from the cost being charged, if the County agreed that the analysis was legitimate. Assistant County Attorney Craig Coller explained that in the event that an independent fee analysis was conducted, there were criteria in the Code giving the Director the ability to evaluate the analysis. He said that the County Mayor could appeal the decision to the Development Impact Committee (DIC) and the County Commission if the Director disagreed with the analysis’ accuracy. Assistant County Coller said that the Department could make adjustments to the fee schedule and amend the ordinance if it found issues with the fee analysis. Commissioner Jordan observed that a third party may find unique circumstances that should be considered by the Department that may not have been in the County’s standard analysis and an adjustment could be made based upon this criteria. In response to Commissioner Zapata’s request for clarification regarding whether the County maintained final authority after the developer submitted its third party opinion, Assistant County Attorney Coller confirmed that it did. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed ordinance, as presented.

Land Use & Development Committee 11/13/2014 1G3 Forwarded to BCC with a favorable recommendation P
REPORT: Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Mr. Brian Adler, Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price and Axelrod, 1450 Brickell Avenue, Suite 2300, appeared before the Committee on behalf of the Florida Atlantic Builder’s Association, in support of the foregoing ordinance. He thanked staff and Chairman Diaz for sponsoring this proposed ordinance. Mr. Adler said he had several meetings with members of the development community, and with County staff. Ms. Truly Burton, Builders Association of South Florida, 111 NW 183rd Street, Suite 111, Miami Gardens, appeared before the Committee in support of the foregoing ordinance. She expressed appreciation to the County Administration and staff for this proposal. Ms. Burton asked the Committee to encourage staff to bring forth these housekeeping issues. She noted the Code was a living document and many changes had occurred in the construction industry within the past five to six years. She noted staff’s prudence had made a lot of difference and this should be continued. Commissioner Jordan said that she initially voted against this proposal on first reading as she was confused about the third party analysis; however, she determined the department was not bound by that analysis. In response to staff’s request, Vice Chairman Suarez requested that an appropriate memorandum be prepared asking Board of County Commission Chairwoman Rebeca Sosa to waive the Board's Rules of Procedure to allow this proposed resolution to be heard at the December 2, 2014 Board meeting. Hearing no further comments or questions, the Committee members proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.

During the setting of the agenda, County Attorney Cuevas announced County staff had requested that the Board suspend the six-week requirement between the adoption of first reading and the public hearing for this proposed ordinance due to its impact on municipalities and to allow the item to be considered at the 2014 November committee cycle. There being no comments or objections, the members of the Board proceeded to take a roll call vote.

Nothing within this section shall allow a building permit for development activity to be issued without the payment of a road impact fee as provided for in Section 33E-6 herein >>or without an authorized deferral of payment upon acceptance of a letter of credit as provided in Section 33E-6.1 or upon the acceptance of a voluntary lien as provided in Section 33E-18.<<
(a) If the feepayer elects to utilize an independent fee computation study, the feepayer shall, at [[his]] >>the feepayer�s<< own expense, prepare and present to the County Public Works >>and Waste Management<< Director such a study that shall document the basis upon which the value of each of the components of the fee formula set forth in Section 33E-7(a) was determined. [[The feepayer shall follow the impact fee study methodology contained in the impact fee manual.]] >>The study shall use a methodology that has been approved by the Public Works and Waste Management Director.<< [[Subjects of t]] >>T<>address<< the following >>subjects<< unless [[determined]] otherwise >>specified in writing<< by the Public Works >>and Waste Management<< Director:
(1) Trip generation rates;
(2) Average vehicle trip length;
(3) New vehicle trip rates;
(4) Non-transit trip percentages.

(b) The feepayer shall, at the time the independent fee computation study is submitted to the County Public Works >>and Waste Management<< Director, pay to the County >>Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources<< Director a nonrefundable independent study administrative cost in the amount set forth in the >>Implementing Order<< [[impact fee manual]] to be used solely [[by the County]] for the processing and review of the independent fee calculation study >>by the Public Works and Waste Management Department<<. This amount shall not be credited against the road impact fee payment >>and shall not be refunded.<<

(c) The County Public Works >>and Waste Management<< Director shall determine if an independent fee computation study:

(1) Adheres to the impact fee formula set forth in Section 33E-7(a);


(2) Provides complete, thorough, and accurate information;

>>(3) Complies with the methodology approved by the Public Works and Waste Management Director; and<<

[[(3)]]>>(4)<< Is prepared by an individual or entity qualified to perform Traffic Engineering and Operations Studies in accordance with the standards set forth in Rule 14-75.003 of the Florida Administrative Code.

(d) Upon approval of the independent fee calculation study by the County Public Works >>and Waste Management<< Director, >>the fee may be computed based upon the findings of the study using the road impact fee formula set forth in Section 33E-7.<< [[based on his determination that the conditions described in Section 33E-9(c) are fully met, the feepayer shall pay the amount of the fee so computed.]]

Where reimbursable by the State, payments shall be made pursuant to an interlocal agreement between the State and County entered into pursuant to Section 163.01 Florida Statutes. Reimbursements shall be deposited into the appropriate benefit district trust account.
(d) Roadway trust funds may be expended on select transit capital improvements provided that the Board of County Commissioners, after recommendation from the Mayor in consultation with the Public Works >>and Waste Management<< Director and after public hearing, determines that any such transit use of roadway trust funds would be effective as part of the county's strategy for providing roadway capacity within the Urban Infill Area. Roadway trust funds may only be used for select transit capital improvements within the Urban Infill Area. Only impact fees generated from within the Urban Infill Area may be used for select transit capital projects. Transit projects are to be selected for road>>way trust fund<< [[impact fee]] funding on the basis of their expected effectiveness as roadway capacity improvements.
(e) Each year the County Public Works >>and Waste Management<< Director shall present to the Metropolitan Planning Organization pursuant to the Organization's procedures for their review and approval, the annual program for expenditure of roadway >>trust funds for roadway<< capacity improvements projects [[utilizing road impact fee trust fund monies]], to be included within the [[t]]>>T<>I<>P<>After solicitation and consideration of comment from municipalities, t<<[[T]]he Public Works >>and Waste Management<< Director shall also [[present the]] recommend[[ed]] priorities [[as determined by the joint County/municipal committee]] for the expenditure of road>>way<< [[impact fee]] trust fund monies. Trust fund monies, including any accrued interest not assigned in any fiscal year, shall be retained in the trust fund until the next fiscal year, except as provided by the refund provisions of this chapter pursuant to Section 33E-13.

Section 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or provision of this ordinance is held invalid, the remainder of this ordinance shall not be affected by such invalidity.
Section 5. It is the intention of the Board of County Commissioners, and it is hereby ordained that the provisions of this ordinance, including any sunset provision, shall become and be made a part of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The sections of this ordinance may be renumbered or relettered to accomplish such intention, and the word �ordinance� may be changed to �section,� �article,� or other appropriate word.

Subject: Ordinance Relating To Road Impact Fees; Amending Sections 33E-8, 33E-9 and 33E-12

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Ordinance pertaining to Road Impact Fees, amending Sections 33E-8, 33E-9 and 33E-12 of the Miami-Dade County Code. Section 33E-8 is amended to add land use categories to the Road Impact Fee Schedule, modify the Table of Present Day Cost Multipliers to Fiscal Year increments, and authorize the Public Works and Waste Management Director (Director) to utilize the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual as appropriate. Section 33E-9 is amended to authorize approval of the independent fee computation study methodology by the Director. Section 33E-12 is amended to replace the requirement of a Joint County/Municipal Committee with a provision that the Director shall solicit and consider recommendations from Municipalities.

SCOPE
The scope of this item extends to any permit for development activity within Miami-Dade County.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
It is estimated that moving the adjustment date of the Present Day Cost from January 1, 2015 to October 1, 2015 will decrease the projected Road Impact Fee revenue by an estimated $1,580,000.00 during Fiscal Year 2014-15. This one-time reduction in cash flow will not affect major roadway projects. However, it is expected to have a minimal impact on existing countywide continuing programs such as roadway resurfacing, intersection improvements or traffic control devices.

TRACKING
The provisions of this Ordinance are monitored by Gaspar Miranda, P.E., Assistant Director, Highway Engineering of the Public Works and Waste Management Division.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
On December 6, 1988, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Dade County Road Impact Fee Ordinance (Ord. No. 88-112), now Chapter 33E of the Miami-Dade County Code. Road Impact Fees are collected to ensure that adequate levels of roadway services are maintained within benefit districts. The assessed amount of the fee is determined in proportion to the amount of new demand that a specific type of development will introduce onto County roads.

The modifications to the ordinance address industry requests for an expedient process for calculating Road Impact Fees that is more reflective of current development practices. Additional modifications will streamline the process, and introduce certain efficiencies that will benefit the community. The proposed amendments are as follows:

1) The Ordinance will add 23 new land use categories to the Road Impact Fee Schedule (Schedule) and eliminate one (1) sub-category to reflect current development types in Miami-Dade County. This will allow for a more accurate method to assess how differing land uses will impact vehicular traffic and ensure that feepayers are charged in accordance with these impacts.

2) This Ordinance amends the calendar day for the Present Day Cost Table to the beginning of the Miami-Dade County fiscal year for consistency with the inflation adjustments to other County Impact Fees. The Present Day Cost multiplier for 2014 will not be adjusted on January 1, 2015. It will remain in effect until October 1, 2015, and thereafter will adjust in accordance with the County�s fiscal year. This amendment also provides for Present Day Cost multipliers through Fiscal Years 2020-21, as the current Table of Present Day Cost multipliers ends in calendar year 2016. The Present Day Cost multiplier is developed by the Florida Department of Transportation and is based on cost factors that affect road construction within the State of Florida. Although the delay in the adjustment of the Present Day Cost multiplier will cause a loss of an estimated $1,580,000.00 in Road Impact Fee revenues during Fiscal Year 2014-15, this change will result in a simplified process consistent with other County Impact Fees.

3) This Ordinance authorizes the Director to utilize a land use category from the current edition of the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers in instances where a proposed development does not fall within a land use category in the Schedule. Additionally, Section 33E-9 allows fee payers to contract with a qualified transportation engineer to demonstrate through an independent study that a lower fee is appropriate for a specific development. The methodology proposed by the feepayer�s transportation engineer must be approved in advance by the Director. Currently, the methodology is set by the ordinance, not allowing for flexibility to this process. These amendments will ensure that the most appropriate fee is assessed.

4) Section 33E-12 is being amended to replace the inactive Joint County/Municipality Committee with a process where input is solicited from municipalities. This codifies current practice.

The proposed amendments will more accurately represent the demand generated by certain developments and improve the assessment of fees. The amendments also provide a more efficient process that reflects current practice and reduces delays to feepayers.
