Summary
COUNCIL GOAL: Operational Excellence
(2B: Balance Available Resources to Accommodate the Growth and Maintenance Needs of the City)
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Development Services - Planning Department
CONTACT: Lucas Raley, AICP, Director of Planning
RECOMMENDED COMMITTEE ACTION:
• Hear a presentation on Impact Fees and discuss any questions.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• Pursuant to TLGC Chapter 395, the City of McKinney has begun work on updating its Impact Fee program.
• Per Section 395.058, the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) acts as the advisory body to City Council regarding the adoption of impact fees.
• Updating Impact Fees requires three steps (as outlined by state law):
Land Use Assumptions
• The Land Use Assumptions contain growth projections on which an Impact Fee Ordinance is based. Projections for population/residential units and square footage of non-residential uses determine the infrastructure needed over the next ten years.
Capital Improvements Planning
• Capital Improvement Plans for Impact Fees identify the infrastructure that will need to be constructed or expanded to accommodate the additional demand generated by development over the next ten years.
Fee Setting / Adopting the Amended Ordinance
• The final phase of the process includes the majority of policy discussion as the City Council considers the actual fee amounts to charge, the phase-in of any fee increases, improvements to the administration of the Ordinances, and how credits should be calculated.
• Staff will provide a presentation updating CIAC regarding the status of these efforts, how collected fees are determined and used, and how they are implemented.
