CHAPTER 20
Impact Fees
ARTICLE I Impact Fees
Sec. 20-1-10. Findings.
A. The State Demographers Office projects that there will be a significant amount of new growth and
development in the County over the next twenty (20) years, both County -wide and in the unincorporated
area.
B. Projected new growth and development in the County will require a substantial expansion in roads, drainage
infrastructure and County facilities if existing levels of service are to be maintained.
C. Under the current fiscal structure, additional revenues generated by the projected new growth and
development in the County will not be adequate to fund the needed capital improvements necessary to
accommodate the projected new growth and development if existing levels of service are to be maintained.
D In order to address this problem, the Board of County Commissioners has determined that new land
development activity shall bear a proportionate share of the cost of the provision of new road, drainage and
County facilities capital improvements required by such development.
E. The Board of County Commissioners has determined that the imposition of road, drainage and County
facilities impact fees are one of the preferred methods of regulating land development in order to ensure
that new development bears a proportionate share of the costs of the capital improvements necessary to
accommodate new development while at the same time maintaining the existing levels of service and
promoting and protecting the public health, safety and welfare.
F The Board of County Commissioners has the authority to adopt impact fees pursuant to the Colorado
Constitution and Section 29-20-104.5, C.R.S.
G In order to implement this policy, the County has adopted this Chapter, establishing road, drainage and
County facilities impact fees.
H The road, drainage, and County facilities impact fees assist in the implementation of, and are consistent with,
the Comprehensive Plan found in Chapter 22 of this Code.
No individual landowner is required to provide any dedication or improvement unless credit against the
appropriate impact fee is provided to meet the same need for capital facilities for which the road, drainage
and County facilities impact fees are imposed pursuant to the terms of this Chapter.
(Weld County Code Ordinance 2011-2 )
Sec. 20-1-20. Short title, authority and application.
A. Title. This Chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Weld County Impact Fee Ordinance."
B. Authority. The Board of County Commissioners has the authority to adopt this Chapter pursuant to the
Colorado Constitution and Section 29-20-104.5, C.R.S.
Weld County, Colorado, Charter and County Code
(Supp. No. 72)
Created: 2021-07-22 16:16:11 [EST]
Page 1 of 12
C. Application. This Chapter shall apply to all lands within the unincorporated portion of the County.
D. Time of Collection. Collection of the impact fee imposed herein shall occur at the time of, or prior to, the

specifically, impact fees for roads and County facilities will be assessed on new buildings or expansion of
buildings, except as described in Subsection E. below, or unless there is an Independent Fee Calculation
Study. Drainage fees are assessed on square feet of impervious cover, whether buildings or otherwise.
E Redevelopment or change of use. If the fee is imposed for a development that increases impact because of a
redevelopment, replacement or change in use, the fee shall be determined by computing the difference in
the fee schedule between the new development and the previously existing development, defined as the
most intensive use of the property on or after January 1, 2002.
F Credits. The amount of impact fees due shall be reduced by the amount of any credits due pursuant to
Section 20-1-90 below.
G. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this Chapter and as a condition of development approval,
agreed to pay the types of impact fees required herein, shall be responsible for the payment of the fees
under the terms of any such agreement. To the extent that such payments are for the same types of facilities

H Administrative appeal. The administrative decision of the Planning Department calculating the fees in
accordance with the fee schedule may be appealed to the Director by filing with the Director, within ten (10)
days of the date of the written decision, a written position statement stating and specifying briefly the

(Supp. No. 72)
Page 5 of 12
grounds of the appeal. The only grounds for administrative appeal to the Director is an appeal of the Land
Use Type. The Director shall then have power to affirm or modify the decision of the Department. The
Director shall make written findings of fact and conclusions of law, and apply the definitions of the land use
categories in this Chapter and the provisions of this Section. The applicant may appeal the decision of the
Director to the Board of County Commissioners according to the appeal procedures set forth in Section 2-4-
10 of this Code. Upon receipt of either the Director's or Board of County Commissioners' decision, the
applicant may then conduct an Independent Fee Calculation Study as further described in Section 20-1-80
below
(Weld County Code Ordinance 2011-2 ; Weld County Code Ordinance 2013-2 ; Weld County Code Ordinance 2015-
5 ; Weld County Code Ordinance 2016-6 )
Sec. 20-1=70. Exemptions.
The following shall be exempt from the terms of this Chapter. An exemption must be claimed by the fee
payer at the time of issuance of a building permit. The Director shall determine the validity of any claim for
exemption.
A. Any residential remodeling, enlargement, addition, replacement or construction of accessory
structures that does not result in the creation of any additional dwelling units, shall be exempt from
road and County facilities impact fees, but not drainage impact fees.
B. Any development for which a completed application for a building permit was submitted prior to the
effective date of the Weld County Impact Fee Ordinance, provided that the construction proceeds
according to the provisions of the permit and the permit does not expire prior to the completion of the
construction.
C. Projects built by the federal government and the State.
D Any development associated with emergency services, such as fire, police or ambulance stations
owned or operated by municipalities, fire districts organized pursuant to Section 32-1-1002, C.P.S., or
ambulance districts organized pursuant to Section 32-1-1007, C.R.S.
Sec. 20-1-80. Independent fee calculation.
A. The intent of an Independent Fee Calculation Study is to determine appropriate impact fees for land uses
that are not typical of the generalized land uses listed in the impact fee schedules. It shall not be grounds for
an independent fee calculation that the initial occupant of the development will not generate as much
impact as is assumed by the fee schedules, but that unique and permanent features of the development will
result in lower impacts over the long term.
B. The impact fee may be computed by the use of an Independent Fee Calculation Study at the election of the
fee payer, if the applicant believes it can be demonstrated. The that the nature of the proposed
development makes it likely that the impacts generated will cost substantially less to mitigate than the
amount of the fee that would be generated by the use of the fee schedule.
C. The preparation of the Independent Fee Calculation Study shall be the sole responsibility and expense of the
electing party.
D. Any person who requests an Independent Fee Calculation Study shall pay an application fee for
administrative costs associated with the review and decision on such study; the fee for this review is cited in
Chapter 5, Appendix D of this Code.

Here is the most recent code change version to be formatted to your template. Also, attached is the final impact fee
study report, which the ordinance applies too. Unlike the 2010 ordinance (attached), we will refer to the fee schedule
ordinance to update the fees rather then include them as an appendix to the ordinance. Hope this helps.

I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, I was just following the conversation and just misunderstood how
the two correlate. I'll work on getting yours drafted and figure up a new schedule for your review. Then, we can circle
back when Don sends out the departmental Chapter 5 appendix reviews in the next week or so.

Esther,
Sorry, I guess I am confused. I didn't think the impact fee ordinance needed to run concurrent with the fee schedule
o rdinance, but if it does that is fine. I was trying to close out my contract before the end of the year, which I probably
still can even if the ordinance isn't effective until next year. I was thinking we would adopt the impact fee study
o rdinance separately and just refer to the fees being changed or updated when you do your annual fee schedule
o rdinance. If we are not combining in one ordinance like we did in 2010, then we would need them to be two separate
o rdinances that run concurrent. Is that what you are thinking? I appreciate the clarification.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,
Based on the attached email string, I think I may have misunderstood the direction we were going. You indicated the
tentative schedule I laid out for the annual Fee Ordinance looked good and Don indicated his Ordinance would work well
for this, so I put this off thinking the two would run concurrently starting mid November. If that's not the case, my
apologies for the confusion, but I'll need a little time to get your ordinance drafted and slate a new schedule for your
item.
Either way, just let me know. Thanks!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Duncan Associates was retained by Weld County, Colorado to assist in updating the County's impact
fees for roads, drainage, and County facilities. This study calculates maximum impact fees that Weld
County can charge based on the existing levels of service.
Current Impact Fees
The county's current impact fees are based on a study prepared in 2010. The major changes made in
2010 from the previous impact fee studies are summarized as follows:
• The land use categories in the road and County facility fee schedules were simplified and
standardized to provide consistency and greater ease of administration.
• The road impact fee was expanded from a few "strategic roads" to all County arterials and
collectors to provide greater flexibility to spend the funds on a wider variety of improvements.
® The drainage impact fee was updated based on the existing level of service, with assessment
and collection moved to building permit to be consistent with the other impact fees.
® The County facilities fee was updated based on the existing level of service for County facilities
other than roads or drainage, which are funded by separate impact fees, or ambulance facilities,
which are supported by user fees.
The 2010 updated road and County facilities fees were significantly higher than the previous fees,
which had last been updated in 2002. These updated fees were adopted at percentages that would
result in single-family fees increasing by the rate of consumer price inflation since 2002 — 67.65% for
roads and 64.57% for County facilities. The ordinance was revised to allow annual inflation indexing,
based on the change in the Denver consumer price index over the previous year, although this
adjustment has not been made every year. Drainage fees did not change in the 2010 study and were
adopted at 100°/ of the maximum amount.
The County's current road and County facilities fees are shown in Table 1 on the following page. The
current drainage impact fee is S0.15 per square foot of impervious cover. Road and County facilities
fees, after several annual inflation adjustments, are now at about 78% and 74%, respectively, of the
maximum 2010 fees.

Executive Summary
A large portion of the increases in road and County facilities fees reflects the fact that current fees,
even with several inflation adjustments, are still only about 75% of the maximum amounts calculated
11 years ago. The updated maximum road fees for a single-family unit is only 17% higher than the
maximum fee calculated in 2010, and the County facilities fee is only 44% higher. As points of
reference, the Colorado Department of Transportation's Construction Cost Index has increased 54%
over the last 11 years, and the I ingineering N ews-Re cord's Building Cost Index has increased 39%.

INTRODUCTION
e
Duncan Associates was retained by Weld County, Colorado to assist in
updating the County's impact fees for roads, drainage and County facilities.
The County began charging road impact fees in subareas of the county in
1999, and has imposed county -wide road impact fees since 2002. Impact
fees for drainage and County facilities were enacted in 2005. All three fees
apply only to new development in the unincorporated area. The fees were
last updated in 2010.
kground
Weld County is located on the northern boundary of Colorado, bordering
both Nebraska and Wyoming (see Figure 1). It is the third largest county
in Colorado. There are 32 municipalities wholly or partially within the
county. Greeley, the largest city, is the county seat. The terrain is relatively flat. The northeastern
portion of the county contains the extensive Pawnee National Grassland and the Pawnee Buttes,
which rise 250 feet above the surrounding terrain. Along the western border some low hills begin the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains further west. The county is served by two interstate highways — I-
25 runs just west of the county line and I-76 crosses the southeast corner of the county. The area of
the county was reduced somewhat in 2001 with the creation of the new Broomfield County from a
small part of Weld County and parts of Adams, Boulder, and Jefferson counties.

Impact fees are most appropriate for jurisdictions
experiencing rapid growth. Weld County has been
experiencing significant growth over the past three decades,
a trend that is projected to continue for the next 30 years.
The population growth since 1960, as well as projected
growth to 2050, is illustrated in Figure 2.2
The cities and towns within the county account for about
84% of total county population, and captured about 89% of
population growth over the past nine years. While the cities
and towns have been growing at a faster rate, the
unincorporated area has been experiencing rapid
development as well. Over the last nine years, the
population in the unincorporated area increased by an
average of 1.9% per year, as shown in Table 4.

Legal Framewirk
Impact fees are a way for local governments to require new developments to pay a proportionate share
of the infrastructure costs they impose on the community. In contrast to traditional "negotiated"
developer exactions, impact fees are charges that are assessed on new development using a standard
formula based on objective characteristics, such as the number and type of dwelling units constructed.
The fees are one-time, up -front charges, with the payment usually made at the time of building permit
issuance. Kssentially, impact fees require that each new development project pay its pro -rata share of
the cost of new capital facilities required to serve that development.
Since impact fees were originally pioneered in states that lacked specific enabling legislation, such fees
have generally been legally defended as an exercise of local government's broad "police power" to
regulate land development in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. The
courts have developed guidelines for constitutionally -valid impact fees, based on "rational nexus"
standards. The standards essentially require that the fees must be proportional to the need for
additional infrastructure created by the new development, and must be spent in such a way as to
provide that same type of infrastructure to benefit new development.
With the governor's signature of Senate Bill 15 on November 6, 2001, Colorado became the 24th state
to adopt impact fee enabling legislation. Among other things, this bill created a new section 104.5:
Impact Fees, in Article 20 of Title 29, Colorado Revised Statutes, which specifically provides that:
Pursuant to the authori y granted in section 29-20-104 (1) (g) and as a condition of issuance of a
development permit, a local government may impose an impact fee or other similar development charge
to fund expenditures by such local government on capital facilities needed to serve new development.
One of the most fundamental principles of impact fees, rooted in both case law and norms of equity,
is that impact fees should not charge new development for a higher level of service than is provided
to existing development. While impact fees can be based on a higher level of service than the one
existing at the time of the adoption or update of the fees, two things are required if this is done. First,
another source of funding other than impact fees must be identified and committed to fund the
capacity deficiency created by the higher level of service. Second, the impact fees must generally be
Weld County Impact Fee Study: Duncan Associates
Roads, Drainage 8- County Facilities

Introduction
reduced to ensure that new development does not pay twice for the same level of service, once through
impact fees and again through general taxes that are used to remedy the capacity deficiency for existing
development. In order to avoid these complications, the general practice is to base the impact fees
on the existing level of service.
A corollary principle is that new development should not have to pay more than its proportionate
share when multiple sources of payment are considered. As noted above, if impact fees are based on
a higher -than -existing level of service, the fees should be reduced by a credit that accounts for the
contribution of new development toward remedying the existing deficiencies. A similar situation
arises when the existing level of service has not been fully paid for. Outstanding debt on existing
facilities that are counted in the existing level of service will be retired, in part, by revenues generated
from new development. Given that new development will pay impact fees to provide the existing
level of service for itself, the fact that new development may also be paying for the facilities that
provide that level of service for existing development could amount to paying for more than its
proportionate share. Consequently, impact fees should be reduced to account for future payments
that will retire outstanding debt on existing facilities.
The issue is less clear-cut when it comes to other types of revenue that may be used to make capacity -
expanding capital improvements of the same type being funded by impact fees. Arguably, no credit
is warranted in most cases, since, while new development may contribute toward such funding, so
does existing development, and both existing and new development benefit from the higher level of
service that the additional funding makes possible. Impact fee studies, however, have traditionally
given credit for the portion of dedicated revenues that are used for capacity -expanding improvements.
This study will provide revenue credits for these types of dedicated revenues.
Credit has also sometimes been provided for outside grants for capacity improvements that can
reasonably be anticipated in the future. In addition to the argument presented above (i.e., grants raise
the level of service and benefit new development as well as existing development), two additional
arguments can be made against applying credit for grants. First, new development in a community
does not directly pay for State and Federal grants in the same way they pay local gasoline and property
taxes. Second, future grant funding is far more uncertain than dedicated revenue streams. On the
other hand, local governments have less discretion about whether to spend grant funding on capacity -
expanding capital improvements. In this study, credit will be provided for future Federal and State
grant funding based on recent grant funding history.

ROADS
Weld County currently assesses a road impact fee on new development to help pay the cost of
improvements required to accommodate the additional traffic on the County's arterial and collector
roads. The purpose of this chapter is to update Weld County's road impact fees.
Geographic reas
There are two kinds of geographic areas in impact fee systems: service areas and benefit districts. A
service area, also sometimes called an assessment district, is an area that is served by a defined group
of capital facilities and is subject to a uniform impact fee schedule. A benefit district is an area within
which fees collected are earmarked to be spent.
The County's road impact fee service area is the entire unincorporated area of the county. The
unincorporated area is currently divided into four road impact fee benefit districts, bounded internally
by US 85 and US 34. Fees collected in each district are earmarked to be spent within that same district.
The current road impact fee benefit districts are illustrated in Figure 3 on the following page.
Road impact fee collections and expenditures over the last 11 years are summarized in Table 5. The
County has been collecting and spending significant amounts of road impact fees in each of the four
benefit districts. No issues have been noted with the configuration of the districts, and no changes
are recommended as part of this update.

Major Roadway System
A road impact fee program should include a clear definition of the major roadway system that is to be
funded with impact fees. Weld County's major roadway system consists of all County -maintained
arterials and collectors within the unincorporated area. An inventory of the existing major roadway
system was compiled from the County's functional classification map, which is illustrated in Figure 4.
A detailed inventory of the County's existing arterial and collector roads is presented in Table 33 in
the Appendix. The major purpose of the inventory is to ensure that the travel demand factors for
individual land uses used in the fee schedule are calibrated to the actual system -wide travel observed
on the major roadway system.

Total existing VMT on the major roadway system must be estimated, because traffic counts or model
volumes are not available for all arterial and collector roadway segments. Ilowever, daily volumes are
available for segments accounting for 83% of paved road miles and 64% of gravel road miles. Average
volumes for segments without counts were estimated, using 75% of the average volume of segments
with counts by road classification (arterial vs. collector), pavement type (paved vs. unpaved), and
number of lanes. This procedure yields an estimate of 923,525 VMT on the major County roads in
the unincorporated area, as shown in Table 6.

Units
In impact fee analysis, the measurement of demand is referred to as the "service unit." For the
County's road impact fees, the service unit is a daily vehicle -mile of travel, or VMT. The VMVIT
generated by specific land use types is a product of three factors: 1) daily trip generation rate; 2) percent
new trips; and 3) trip length.
Trip Genergy fly.}n
Trip generation rates represent trip ends, or driveway crossings at the site of a land use. Thus, a single
one-way trip from home to work counts as one trip end for the residence and one trip end for the
workplace, for a total of two trip ends. In order avoid double -counting trips, the number of trip ends
are divided by two. The trip generation rates utilized in the 2010 study were from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers' (ITV), Trip Generation manual, 8th edition, published in 2008. The updated
trip rates are based on the 10th edition of the ITN. manual, published in 2017.
Perce t New Trips
The trip rates are also adjusted by a "new trip" factor to exclude pass -by and diverted -link trips. This
adjustment reduces the possibility of over -counting trips by including only primary trips generated by
the development. Pass -by trips are those trips that are already on a particular route for a different
purpose and simply stop at a particular development on that route. For example, a stop at a retail
store on the way home from the office is a pass -by trip for the retail store. A pass -by trip does not
create an additional burden on the street system and therefore should not be counted in the assessment
of impact fees. A diverted -link trip is similar to a pass -by trip, but a diversion is made from the regular
route to make an interim stop. The new trip data utilized in the updated fee schedule are based on
data from the IT _ K Trip Generation Manual
Trip Length
Trip length represents the average length of a trip in miles on the major roadway system (County
arterials and collectors). Trip lengths defined in this vary significantly between communities based on
the definition of the major roadway system and the size of the jurisdiction. The starting point is
national data from the 2017 National household Travel Survey. These national average trip lengths by
land use must be evaluated to ensure they do not result in an over -estimate of total actual VMT on
the major roadway system.
The actual VMT on the major roadway system calculated in Table 6 above can be compared to the
VMT one would expect to see based on existing land uses and the travel demand factors used to
generate the fee schedule. The expected VMT is calculated by multiplying the existing quantities of
each land use by the VMT per unit based on the recommended travel demand factors by major land
use category to determine the locally -generated VMT that is expected to be present on the major
roadway system. Table 7 below presents the VMT that would be expected, based on existing land
uses in the unincorporated area and the national travel demand factors by land use.

schedule in Table 9; average trip lengths are national averages from 2017 National Household Travel Survey.
The total expected VMT, based on existing land uses in the unincorporated area and the travel demand
factors from national data, is slightly lower than the total actual VMT estimated on the County's major
roadways, as shown in Table 8. Consequently, there is no need to adjust the national average trip
lengths.

This section calculates the average cost to add the capacity necessary to accommodate an additional
vehicle -mile of travel (VM'I). Under the standard consumption -based road impact fee methodology,
new development is charged the cost to add one vehicle -mile of capacity (VMC) for every new VMT
generated by the development.
The County's existing major roadway system consists of mostly 2 -lane roadways, many unpaved and
without shoulders. The Weld Conny Transportation Plan 2045, adopted in November 2020, proposes to
expand the capacity of the system with a mix of improvement types, including constructing new roads,
adding a center turn lane to existing 2 -lane roads, widening 2 -lane roads to 4 lanes, widening existing
narrow 2 -lane roads by adding paved shoulders, paving gravel roads, and improving intersections.
Generalized cost estimates per mile for various types of improvements were prepared by the Public
Works Department and are detailed in Appendix D. Drainage costs were excluded from the cost
estimates to ensure that there is no overlap with the separate County drainage impact fee.
While all these types of improvements expand roadway capacity, the capacity added can be most
readily determined for the construction of new roads, widening existing roads to add lanes, and paving
gravel roads. Based on the generalized unit costs, the estimated costs of these types of planned
improvements are summarized in Table 10 on the following page.

The average cost per vehicle -mile of capacity can be determined by dividing the total cost of the
planned segment improvements by the VMC added by the improvements. As shown in Table 12, the
planned improvements costs yield a weighted average cost of $327 per vehicle -mile of capacity. The

This section of the report calculates a revenue credit in order to account for revenue generated by new
development that will be used to pay for capacity -related capital improvements through State and
Federal motor fuel tax and other State highway grants. The County has no road -related debt; as a
result, an additional credit to account for outstanding debt is not required in this update.
To develop the revenue credit, the consultant reviewed Weld County historical funding and
expenditure data for roadway projects. As shown in Table 13, the County has received about $130.6
million in State and Federal funding over the last five calendar years. Not all of the State/Federal
funding received has or will be spent on capacity -expanding improvements. Over the last five years,
48% of all road funding has been spent on capital projects (although these were not necessarily for
capacity expansion). To be conservative, it is assumed that all capital outlays were to expand capacity
rather than repair or replace existing road facilities.

Using the last five years as a guide, the County can expect to receive approximately $26 million
annually in State and Federal funding for road purposes. It is assumed that 48% of that amount will
be available for the construction for capacity -expanding improvements. As shown in Table 14, new

The updated road impact fees are compared with the current fees and the maximum fees calculated
in the 2010 study in Table 17 below. While the changes vary, updated fees for most land uses,
including single-family homes, are roughly 50% higher than current fees. Much of the increase,
however, reflects the fact that current fees are only about 78% of the maximum amounts calculated
in the 2010 study. The updated fee for a single-family unit is only 17% higher than the maximum fee
that was calculated 11 years ago. As a point of reference, the Colorado Department of

DRAINAGE
Weld County currently assesses a drainage impact fee on new development to help pay the cost of
additional facilities and improvements needed to accommodate the increased Stormwater runoff
generated by additional impervious cover. This chapter updates that fee.
Section 5-8-10 of the Weld County Code establishes a drainage impact fee, which is currently 50.15
per square foot of impervious cover. Pursuant to the County Code, the fee is paid by builders at the
time of building permit for the buildings, sidewalks, driveways and other impervious cover created by
construction on an individual lot and the adjoining street to the centerline.
G ,a
ra hie Areas
In an impact fee system, it is important to clearly define the geographic areas within which impact fees
will be collected and within which the fees collected will be spent. There are really two types of
geographic areas that serve different functions in an impact fee system: service areas and benefit
districts. A "service area" defines the area within which a set of common capital facilities provides
service, and for which a fee schedule based on average costs within that area is calculated. A "benefit
district," on the other hand, represents an area within which the fees collected must be spent. Benefit
districts are intended to better ensure that improvements funded with impact fees are constructed
within reasonable proximity of the feepaying development.
Stormwater drainage systems are naturally organized by topography into watersheds. Weld County
Public Works has delineated 22 major watersheds existing in the county, as illustrated in Figure 5 on
the following page. Some watersheds are partially in neighboring jurisdictions. Kach watershed is
named after its major stream or river.

while it could be reasonable to determine drainage impact fees separately for each watershed, there
are several reasons in favor of continuing to have a single service area for the entire unincorporated
area. The first is the inherent connectedness of drainage subareas. However the watersheds are
defined, development there will inevitably have downstream impacts. Second is feasibility — the
County does not have a drainage master plan for all of the watersheds. Finally, it is likely that the cost
to accommodate a square foot of impervious cover will be similar from one watershed to another.

Drainage
enefit Districts
Currently, the entire unincorporated area comprises a single benefit district. The county could be
divided into multiple benefit districts, possibly using some combination of watersheds, so that fees
collected in one part of the county are spent on projects in the same area. Arguments against multiple
benefit districts include the connectivity issues discussed above. New impervious cover will generate
the need for improvements that may be a long way downstream of the development. In addition,
multiple benefit districts would make it difficult to amass sufficient fees in any district to fund projects,
and those local projects may not be priority ones. On balance, this study recommends retaining a
single benefit district for the entire unincorporated area.
Service Units
In order to develop a drainage impact fee, the demand for drainage facilities generated by new
development of different intensities must be expressed in terms of a common "service unit." A service
unit represents the unit of demand for the facility. An appropriate service unit for drainage impact
fees is square feet of impervious cover. Impervious cover consists of roofs, pavement, and other
surfaces that turn most of the rain that falls on them into stormwater runoff The stormwater run-off
from additional impervious cover creates the need for add'tional County investments in drainage
infrastructure.
The amount of existing impervious cover in the unincorporated area is estimated based on data for
the square footage of buildings and structures from the Weld County Assessor's Office records, as
well as "imperviousness factors" to take into account additional impervious cover besides buildings.
For agricultural structures and buildings, the factor is 1. For residential structures and buildings, the
factor is 2, so the amount of a residential structure's square footage was multiplied by 2 to provide an
approximation of the associated impervious cover, such as patios, sidewalks, driveways, and adjacent
streets. For commercial and industrial, the imperviousness factors are 4 and 6, respectively, to account
for such items as outdoor storage areas, driveways, paved parking, and adjacent streets and sidewalks.
The result of this analysis is an estimate of 185.2 million square feet of existing impervious cover in
unincorporated Weld County, as shown in Table 18 below.

A fundamental principle of impact fees is that new development should not be charged for a higher
level of service than is provided to existing development. This section calculates the existing level of
service, expressed in terms of the existing investment in drainage infrastructure per service unit. All
three major components of the County's drainage system — roadside ditches, culverts and bridges are also part of the roadway system. Roadside ditches are primarily needed to receive the stormwater
draining from the roadway itself, while culverts and bridges are needed at the intersection of the
roadway with natural drainage channels receiving runoff from other areas. To a greater extent than
roadside ditches, culverts and bridges could be considered equally drainage and road structures, since
they are generally required only where roadways meet natural drainage channels (although bridges may
serve other functions, such as grade -separated intersections). However, because of their greater size
and cost, bridges are generally sized to accommodate ultimate long term drainage conditions when
they are initially built to allow for the extension of a roadway, while culverts more often need to be
enlarged over time as development occurs and stormwater flows increase. Consequently, the costs
related to bridges and ditches are more related to roads and road extensions and are included in the
road impact fee. The drainage impact fee is based on the cost of culverts, although the funds can be
spent on other types of drainage improvements as well as drainage planning studies.
The County does not have an inventory of all its existing culverts. However, the County estimates
that road improvements require an average of two culverts per road -mile. In order to determine the
typical cost of these culverts, Weld County used Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
roadway construction estimates were used. The County opted for this method because costs can vary
greatly from project to project and this estimate gives an accurate average cost. The County utilizes
materials that are produced at County -owned gravel open -pit mines, and relies on County staff and
equipment to construct the culverts, which make it difficult to accurately estimate costs. CDOT
construction estimates provide the County a reliable estimate to determine the cost of the County's

culverts. Lti'izing the CDOT construction estimates, the average cost for installation of a culvert is
55,292. This estimate includes construction equipment required, aggregate material cost, culvert pipe
cost, and staff time.
As summarized in Table 19, the current replacement value of the County's existing culverts is
estimated to be about 535.3 million. Dividing the total cost of existing culverts by the existing
impervious cover results in a cost of 50.19 per additional square foot of impervious cover to maintain
the existing level of service.

In order to ensure that new development is not double -charged, the cost per service unit should be
reduced by a revenue credit to take into account the present value of future taxes or fees that will be
generated by new development and used to retire debt on existing facilities serving existing
development. However, the County does not have any outstanding debt on existing roadways or
associated drainage facilities.
Some State and Federal funding is received by the County for road improvements, and some of these
improvements may include culverts. However, the portion of road funding allocable to culvert
construction is unknown, and the full credit for State and Federal funding is attributed to the road
impact fee calculated in this update. As a result, no credit is necessary for the drainage impact fee,
and the updated net cost per service unit is the same as the cost per service unit calculated above. The
updated drainage impact fee is 4 cents higher per square foot of impervious cover than the current
fee, as shown in Table 20. This represents a 27% increase from the current fee.

This chapter updates Weld County's impact fees for County buildings. The current fee addresses the
costs of all County facilities, including the jail, courthouse, County administration, law enforcement,
public works, etc., other than those addressed by the road and drainage impact fees, and also excluding
ambulance facilities, which are supported by user fees. Since most of these facilities provide county-
wide benefits, the level of service was determined based on existing county -wide land use (including
development within municipalities) .
Ser ice Areas
County facilities are not geographically distributed among all areas of the county. Kxisting facilities
and employment tend to be concentrated in certain areas of the county. Since the facilities serve all
residents, the physical location of the facilities is irrelevant. As a result, the previous study utiized a
single county -wide service area.
Ilowever, the review conducted as part of this update indicates that the lack of participation by the
municipalities may put an unfair burden on new development in the unincorporated area. While
development in the unincorporated is assessed only for its proportional share of the cost of coun iy-
wide facilities, the benefit from such improvements is shared with development in the municipalities,
which does not pay the fee.
This free -rider problem is significant. Municipalities account for over 80% of existing residential and
nonresidential development, and accounted for almost 90% of population growth over the last decade.
To address this issue, the updated fees use the unincorporated area as the service area.
Lett
antic
The updated County facilities impact fee is based on the existing level of service provided by County -
owned faC:ties that primarily serve development in the unincorporated area. The level of service
used in developing the County facilities impact fees in this study is the ratio of the replacement value
of those facilities to the functional population of the service area. The replacement value is limited to
buildings, and excludes land, equipment, and fleet costs.

Service Units
In impact fee analysis, different types of development must be translated into a common unit of
measurement that reflects the impact of new development on the demand for service. This common
unit of measurement is referred to as a "service unit" Service units create the link between the supply
of capital facilities and the demand for such facilities generated by new development. The service unit
used in this update is called "functional population," which is described and calculated in Appendix
B.
The "functional population" approach is one of the few techniques used in impact fee studies to
estimate the demand for government facilities. In general, the demand for the services covered by the
fee is proportional to the presence of people. Functional population represents the number of "full-
time equivalent" people present at the site of a land use, and it is used for the purpose of determining
the impact of a particular development on the need for such facilities.
Cost per Service Unit
The County's existing facilities are used to determine the existing level of service, which is the cost
per service unit to accommodate new development at the same level of service. The first step is to
identify the existing facilities that primarily serve development in the unincorporated area. Most of
the County facilities support services that serve the entire county. These include general County
administration, courts, corrections, property tax appraisal, elections, public health, human services,
hazardous material disposal, coroner, and forensics. Services that primarily benefit the unincorporated
area include public works, law enforcement, development review and permitting, and oil and gas.
The inventory of existing County facilities, broken down by whether they primarily benefit the entire
county or the unincorporated area, is provided in Table 21 on the following page. The replacement
values of existing facilities are based on the current insured value for each facility, which reflects the
estimated cost to replace each structure. The total replacement cost of the facilities that primarily
serve the unincorporated area is estimated to be S36.5 million.

County Facilities
The cost per service unit based on the existing level of service can be determined by dividing the
replacement cost of existing County bui-dings primarily serving the unincorporated area by the
functional population of the unincorporated area. As shown in Table 22, dividing the replacement
cost by the existing service units yields a cost per service unit of S937 per functional population.

Impact fees should be reduced to account for future funding that wilbe generated by new
development and used to remedy existing deficiencies or to retire outstanding debt on facilities that
serve existing development. The updated fees are based on the existing level of service and,
consequently, there are no deficiencies. Weld County has no outstanding debt for any County
facilities.
The County has received some State funding over the past five years for improvements to County
facilities that primarily serve the unincorporated area. A credit for the State grant funding is calculated
in Table 23.

The updated County facilities impact fees are compared to current fees and the maximum fees
calculated in the 2010 study in Table 26. The updated maximum fee for a single-family dwelling unit
is 94% higher than the current fee, and 44% higher than the fee calculated in the 2010 study. As a
point of reference, the Engineering News -Record's Building Cost Index increased 39% over the last 11
years (May 2010 to May 2021) .

The housing types used in Weld County's impact fees are single-family detached, multi -family, and
mobile home (manufactured home) . The multi -family category includes townhouses, duplexes,
triplexes, fourplexes, apartments and condominiums. A manufactured home or mobile home located
on a separate lot is treated as a single-family detached dwelling. The average household sizes
associated with the three housing categories are shown in Table 28.

APPENDIX B: FUNCTIONAL POPULATION
The "functional population" approach is one of the few techniques used in impact fee studies to
estimate the demand for government facilities. To a large extent, the demand for general County
services is proportional to the presence of people. Functional population is analogous to the concept
of "full-time equivalent" employees. It represents the number of "full-time equivalent" people present
at the site of a land use, and it is used for the purpose of determining the impact of a particular land
use on the need for facilities.
Residential Functional Population
For residential land uses, the impact of a dwelling unit on the need for capital facilities is generally
proportional to the number of persons residing in the dwelling unit. This can be measured for
different housing types in terms of either average household size (average number of persons per
occupied dwelling unit) or persons per unit (average number of persons per dwelling unit, including
vacant as well as occupied units). In this analysis, average household size is used to develop the
functional population multipliers, as it avoids the need to make assumptions about occupancy rates.
The first step is to determine the percentage of time people spend at their place of residence. In 2018,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics interviewed one person each from 9,600 randomly -selected
households to determine how people spent their time during a recent day. Survey respondents were
limited to persons aged 15 or older in the civilian population. The survey determined the average
number of hours spent on various types of activities. While it did not itemize where the activities
occurred, reasonable assumptions have been made about which activities were more likely to occur at
the place of residence or away from home. The results, summarized in Table 29 on the following
page, indicate that people spend an average of two-thirds of each 24 -hour day at their place of
residence.

The housing types used in Weld County's impact fees are single-family detached, multi -family, and
mobile home (manufactured home) . The multi -family category includes townhouses, duplexes,
triplexes, fourplexes, apartments and condominiums. A manufactured home or mobile home located
on a separate lot is treated as a single-family detached dwelling.
Determining residential functional population multipliers is considerably simpler than the
nonresidential component. The average household size is multiplied by two-thirds, which is the
average percentage of a 24 -hour day people spend at home, to determine the functional population
per unit. A similar approach is used for the hotel/motel category. The functional populations per
unit for residential units and hotel rooms are shown in Table 30.

Appendix B: Functional Population
Nonresidential Fu ,ctional Population
The functional population methodology for nonresidential uses is based on trip generation data
ized in developing the travel demand schedule prepared for the updated road impact fee.
Functional population per 1,000 square feet is derived by dividing the total number of hours spent by
employees and visitors during a weekday by 24 hours. Kmployees are estimated to spend eight hours
per day at their place of employment, and visitors are estimated to spend one hour per visit. The
formula used to derive the nonresidential functional population estimates is summarized in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Nonresidential F °nctlonal P
p
ulatin Formula
Functional population/1000 sf = (employee hours/1000 sf + visitor hours/1000 sf) — 24 hours/day
Where:
Employee hours/1000 sf = employees/1000 sf x 8 hours/day
Visitor hours/1000 sf = visitors/1000 sf x 1 hour/visit
Visitors/1000 sf = weekday ADT/1000 sf x avg. vehicle occupancy — employees/1000 sf
Weekday ADT/1000 sf = one way average daily trips (total trip ends = 2)
onresidential functional population multipliers per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area are calculated
using the above formula. Data inputs include trip generation rates from the road impact fee update,
vehicle occupancy rates from the National h iousehold Travel Survey, and employee density from a U.S.
Department of Knergy survey. Table 31 presents the inputs and calculations for the nonresidential
land use categories.

Aa The State Demographers Office projects that there will be a significant amount of new growth and
development in the County over the next twenty (20) years, both County -wide and in the unincorporated
area.
B. Projected new growth and development in the County will require a substantial expansion in roads, drainage
infrastructure and County facilities if existing levels of service are to be maintained.
C. Under the current fiscal structure, additional revenues generated by the projected new growth and
development in the County will not be adequate to fund the needed capital improvements necessary to
accommodate the projected new growth and development if existing levels of service are to be maintained.
D. In order to address this problem, the Board of County Commissioners has determined that new land
development activity shall bear a proportionate share of the cost of the provision of new road, drainage and
County facilities capital improvements required by such development.
E The Board of County Commissioners has determined that the imposition of road, drainage and County
facilities impact fees are one of the preferred methods of regulating land development in order to ensure
that new development bears a proportionate share of the costs of the capital improvements necessary to
accommodate new development while at the same time maintaining the existing levels of service and
promoting and protecting the public health, safety and welfare.
F The Board of County Commissioners has the authority to adopt impact fees pursuant to the Colorado
Constitution and Section 29-20-104.5, C.R.S.
G In order to implement this policy, the County has adopted this Chapter, establishing road, drainage and
County facilities impact fees.
H The road, drainage, and County facilities impact fees assist in the implementation of, and are consistent with,
the Comprehensive Plan found in Chapter 22 of this Code.
No individual landowner is required to provide any dedication or improvement unless credit against the
appropriate impact fee is provided to meet the same need for capital facilities for which the road, drainage
and County facilities impact fees are imposed pursuant to the terms of this Chapter.

A. The intent of an Independent Fee Calculation Study is to determine appropriate impact fees for land uses
that are not typical of the generalized land uses listed in the impact fee schedules. It shall not be grounds for
an independent fee calculation that the initial occupant of the development will not generate as much
impact as is assumed by the fee schedules, but that unique and permanent features of the development will
result in lower impacts over the long term.
B. The impact fee may be computed by the use of an Independent Fee Calculation Study at the election of the
fee payer, if the applicant believes it can be demonstrated-' ,e that the nature of the proposed
development makes it likely that the impacts generated will cost substantially less to mitigate than the
amount of the fee that would be generated by the use of the fee schedule.
C. The preparation of the Independent Fee Calculation Study shall be the sole responsibility and expense of the
electing party.
D Any person who requests an Independent Fee Calculation Study shall pay an application fee for
administrative costs associated with the review and decision on such study; the fee for this review is cited in
Chapter 5, Appendix D of this Code.

independent data not used in the impact fee study for all three (3) of these travel demand
characteristics. The independent sources shall be (1) an accepted standard source of transportation
engineering or planning data or (2) a local study on travel demand characteristics carried out by a
qualified traffic planner or engineer pursuant to an accepted methodology of transportation planning
or engineering.
2. An Independent Fee Calculation Study for County facilities impact fees shall provide independent
sources of data for determining appropriate functional population per development unit for the
proposed development, using the methodology set forth in the impact fee study.
3. An Independent Fee Calculation Study for drainage impact fees shall provide independent sources of
data for determining appropriate measures of impervious cover to be added by the proposed
development.

complete, a written statement specifying the deficiencies shall be sent by mail to the person
submitting the application. The application shall be deemed complete if no deficiencies are specified.
The Director shall take no further action on the application until it is deemed complete.
3. When the Director determines that the application is complete, the application shall be reviewed by
the Director with the assistance of the Department of Public Works staff, and the Director shall render
a written decision in forty-five (45) days on whether the fee should be modified and, if so, what the
amount should be, based upon the standards below.
G. Standards. If, on the basis of generally recognized principles of impact analysis, it is determined that the
data, information and assumptions used by the applicant to calculate that the Independent Fee Calculation
Study satisfy the requirements of this Section, the fee determined in the Independent Fee Calculation Study
shall be deemed the fee due and owing for the proposed traffic -generating development. The adjustment
shall be set forth in a fee agreement. If the Independent Fee Calculation Study fails to satisfy the
requirements of this Section, the fee applied shall be that fee established for the development in the fee
schedule.
H. Appeal of Independent Fee Calculation Study decision. A fee payer affected by the administrative decision of
the Director on an Independent Fee Calculation Study may appeal such decision to the Board of County
Commissioners, by filing with the Director within ten (10) days of the date of the written decision a written
notice stating and specifying briefly the grounds of the appeal. The Board of County Commissioners, after
hearing, shall have the power to affirm or reverse the decision of the Director. In making its decision, the
Board of County Commissioners shall make written findings of fact and conclusions of law, and apply the
standards in this Section. If the Board of County Commissioners reverses the decision of the Director, it shall
instruct the Director to recalculate the fee in accordance with its findings. In no case shall the Board of
County Commissioners have the authority to negotiate the amount of the fee or waive the fee. The decision
of the Board of County Commissioners shall be final and not subject to further administrative appeal.

Subject: RE: Chapter 20 Impact Fee Ordinance
Hi Elizabeth,
I can help with this one. Don usually sends the various Chapter 5 Appendix pages out to the Departments in early
October and I slate Ordinance dates backwards from a 1/1/2022 effective date. So, we would plug in your anticipated
Ch. 20 Impact fees, on the assumption that they will be adopted a week or so ahead of the regular fee schedule. Any
changes made along the way would obviously need to translate into the regular fee Ordinance at the next available
reading date. I've copied Don in case he has other ideas/suggestions.
A tentative schedule would probably look something like this (working around early publication deadlines due to the
holidays):
10/29/21— Last date for Changes Due from Depts.

Subject: RE: Chapter 20 Impact Fee Ordinance
Thank you Cheryl. Can you please tell be how this schedule relates to the annual Fee Schedule Ordinance update? My
guess is that ordinance would be effective in December? I ask because the new impacts fees adopted by this study will
need to be incorporated into the Fee Schedule Ordinance.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Subject: Chapter 20 Impact Fee Ordinance
Hi Cheryl,
Can you please help me set up a schedule to have the updated Impact Fee Ordinance adopted prior to the end of the
year?
We are still finalizing our edits to the existing Chapter 20, but there are not a lot of changes. I am hoping to get a final
draft to you by mid -September.
I appreciate your help laying out a schedule.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Relford
