Executive Summary
The Town of Fountain Hills (Town) retained the team of Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (RFC or
Raftelis)1 , to complete an update of the Town’s development impact fees for compliance with the
requirements of Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) § 9-463.05.
Under the updated requirements of ARS §9-463.05 a development impact fee study is segmented into
three major components as follows:
1.The Land Use Assumptions (LUA) identify the current and projected service units by service area.
The Town LUA are summarized in Appendix A and outline the projected growth in residential
population and housing units and non-residential employment and square feet.
2.The Infrastructure Improvements Plan (IIP) identifies the current and future facilities to serve the
projected growth in service units identified within the LUA.
3.The Development Impact Fee Report (Fee Report) outlines the proposed development impact fee
by fee category and service area incorporating the IIP eligible facilities and service units. The Fee
Report will also incorporate capital funding analyses, offset calculations and cash flow projections
for the proposed development impact fees.
As noted above, the IIP has as its focus the existing and planned facilities to meet the needs of future
development in the Town identified within the LUA. The LUA and IIP do not contain calculated or
proposed fees. As such time as the LUA and IIP public input process is completed and these documents
finalized, development impact fees will then be calculated and available in the Fee Report.
Development Impact Fee Adoption Procedures
Specific development impact fee adoption procedures are outlined in ARS § 9-463.05 (C) and ARS § 9-
463.05 (D) for public postings, public hearings and adoption of the LUA, IIP and Fee Report. If new
LUA, IIP and fee schedules are not adopted by August 1, 2014, municipalities can no longer collect
development impact fees until the new LUA, IIP and fee study is adopted. The requirements for public
notices and adoption procedures are as follows:
The LUA and IIP with supporting documents, must be released and made available to the public
and posted to a website at least 60 days before a public hearing on the IIP per ARS § 9-463.05 (D).
Public Hearing on the LUA/IIP can be held 60 days after the documents are released to the public
and posted.
The LUA and IIP must be approved or disapproved no sooner than 30 days after the public
hearing, but must be within 60 days of the public hearing, and at least 30 days before the second
“Fee Report”public hearing per ARS § 9-463.05 (D)(1).
At least 30 days before second public hearing, the “notice of intention” to modify the
development impact fees as well as the fee schedule within a written report (Fee Report) that
supports the fees must be released to the public and posted per ARS § 9-463.05 (C).
1 The Town initially retained Red Oak Consulting, an ARCADIS group, to complete this study and the contract was
subsequently assigned to RFC in July 2013.

Public hearing on the Fee Report 30 days after the document is released to the public and posted.
Final action to adopt/disapprove fees must be at least 30 days after the 2 nd public hearing but
within 60 days of the second public hearing per ARS § 9-463.05 (C)and ARS § 9-463.05 (D)(1).
Fees effective not earlier than 75 days after formal approval and cannot be adopted as emergency
measure per ARS § 9-463.05 (C).
The Town may update the IIP to reflect modifications of facilitie s to serve new development and
complete a similar process of updating LUA, IIP and Fee Report including public hearing and reporting
requirements. The update will need to be completed at a minimum of every five years.

Introduction
The Town of Fountain Hills (Town)retained the team of Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc.(RFC or
Raftelis)2 , to complete an update of the Town’s development impact fees for compliance with the
requirements of Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS)§9-463.05.
To ensure that new development contributes its proportionate share towards the cost of public facilities
the Town has enacted development impact fees for a variety of fee categories. The fees were most
recently updated in December 2011 with elimination of the Open Space and General Government fees
and reductions to the Park and Recreation, and Library and Museum fee areas as a result of ARS §9-
463.05,enacted in April 2011. The purpose of this study is to update the Town’s development impact fee
categories:
Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Law Enforcement
Parks and Recreation
Streets
Open Space
Library and Museum
This document, the Town’s LUA and IIP,outlines the current and projected development,current and
planned facility value, capacity, service level, service units, and single-family residential Equivalent
Development Unit (EDU) by development type and fee category. The IIP outlines background
information regarding ARS § 9-463.05 and IIP eligible facilities for development impact fee recovery. The
IIP eligible facilities and service units support the update of the Town’s development impact fees to be
completed as the final phase of this update.
The Town’s fiscal year (FY)begins July 1st and ends June 30th;FY 2013-14 refers to the 12-month period
July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
Background
Arizona has experienced tremendous growth in past decades. To ensure new growth pays its
proportionate share of infrastructure costs, deve lopment impact fees are collected by cities and towns to
evenly and fairly distribute the burden of facility capacity to serve new development. These one -time
charges are assessed to new development by local governments to recover the proportional cost of
facilities benefiting new development based on specific calculations using standardized assessment
schedules. Each development project pays a proportionate share of the cost of new infrastructure or
necessary public services (NPS) needed to support new d evelopment.
ARS §9-463.05 provides a framework for cities and towns to assess, collect and administer development
impact fees. In April of 2011, statutory revisions were made by the approval of Senate Bill (SB) 1525 that
2 The Town initially retained Red Oak Consulting, an ARCADIS group, to complete this study and the con tract was
subsequently assigned to RFC in July 2013.

significantly changed the requirements for development impact fees. To understand the regulatory
environment, the following section provides an overview of the most important elements of the
development impact fee statutes.
Qualifying Uses
A municipality may assess development impact fees to help offset the capital expenses associated with
providing NPS to a new development. This would include infrastructure costs, purchases of real property,
fees for engineering and architectural services, financing costs, and other qualifying profe ssional services.
Development impact fees are required to result in a beneficial use to the development and be calculated
based on an IIP. The fees may not exceed the development’s proportionate share of the NPS and must
be based on the same level of service provided to existing development in the service area.
ARS §9-463.05(T)(5)defines NPS in a manner that effectively limits the facilities for which development
impact fees can be collected. After January 1, 2012, development impact fees may only be assessed for the
following NPS:
Water Facilities;
Wastewater Facilities;
Storm Water, Drainage and Flood Control Facilities;
Library Facilities of up to 10,000 square feet that provide a direct benefit to development,
excluding appurtenances, equipment or vehicles;
Street Facilities;
Fire and Police Facilities, including appurtenances, equipment and vehicles with exceptions
described in the next paragraph;
Neighborhood Parks and Recreation facilities on property up to 30 acres (larger allowed if there is
a direct benefit to the development); and
Qualifying pledged debt.
Within these definitions of NPS, specific exclusions are provided within ARS §9-463.05.Specifically,
development impact fees may not be used to purchase library equipment and vehicles. Fire and Police
replacement facilities, administrative vehicles and equipment, helicopters and airplanes, and centralized
training facilities are also specifically excluded from the definition of NPS. For Neighborhood Parks and
Recreation facilities,the following amenities are also excluded:vehicles, aquatic centers (although
swimming pools are allowed), auditoriums, arenas, arts and cultural facilities, bandstands and orchestra
facilities, bathhouses, boathouses, clubhouses, community cent ers over 3,000 square feet, environmental
education centers, equestrian facilities, golf courses, greenhouses, lakes, museums, theme parks, water
reclamation or riparian areas, wetlands, and zoos.
Fee Calculations Under ARS §9-463.05
Under ARS §9-463.05, development impact fees are only calculated and assessed for existing or proposed
improvements included in an approved IIP.The IIP is tied to the LUA (growth projections)for each
service area within the boundaries of a city or town.Following the requirements of ARS § 9-463.05(T)(7)
the LUA must include “…projections of changes in land uses, densities and intensities and population for
8
a specified area over a period of at least ten years and pursuant to the general plan of the municipality .”
The fees apply to designated service areas, are calculated using consistent units of measurement called
“service units,” and must be based on the same level of service (LOS) provided to existing development in
the service area.
A service area is the specific area within the boundaries of a city or town within which the development
will be served by the NPS or facility expansions;for all the fee categories (considered in this study)in a
relatively small community like Fountain Hills (in terms of area/square miles),the service area is defined
as the entire community. A “substantial nexus”must exist between the NPS or facility expansions and the
development being served.For each service area,LUA must be adopted or updated and an IIP must be
prepared.
The demand for facilities is quantified using a common unit of measurement, called a “service unit.” A
service unit is a standardized measure of the consumption, use, generation or discharge attributable to an
individual unit of development calculated using generally accepted engineering or planning standards. The
service unit used in this report is the EDU. One EDU represents the average demand for services
generated by a single-family home.
Development impact fees may only be collected to recover the cost of current or future improvements
with capacity to serve new development identified in the IIP prepared for each service area, which again,
could be the entire Town. The IIP must describe projects planned within the next ten years for NPS.3
The IIP should include only new improvements that will add capacity to accommodate future growth or
costs attributable to existing improvements that have excess capacity for future development. For each
category of public service, the IIP shall include the elements in ARS §9-463.05(E)(1)-(7):
Element #1: A description of the existing necessary public services in the service area and the
costs to upgrade, update, improve, expand, correct or replace those necessary public services to
meet existing needs and usage and stricter safety, efficiency, environmental or regulatory
standards, which shall be prepared by qualified professionals licensed on this state, as applicable.
Element #2: An analysis of the total capacity, the level of current usage and commitments for
usage of capacity of the existing necessary public services, which shall be prepared by qualified
professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.
Element #3: A description of all or the parts of the necessary public services or facility expansions
and their costs necessitated by and attributable to development in the service area based on the
approved land use assumptions, including a forecast of the costs of infrastructure, improvements,
real property, financing, engineering and architectural services, which shall be prepared by
qualified professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.
3 For the water and wastewater facilities/fee, the IIP can project out 15 years.However, as the Town does not provide
these services, this report does not contain an IIP for water and wastewater.
9
Element #4: A table establishing the specific level or quantity of use, consumption, generation or
discharge of a service unit for each category of necessary public services or facility expansions and
an equivalency or conversion table establishing the ratio of a service unit to various types of land
uses, including residential, commercial and industrial.
Element #5: The total number of projected service units necessitated by and attributable to new
development in the service area based on the approved land use assumptions and calculated
pursuant to generally accepted engineering and planning criteria.
Element #6: The projected demand for necessary public services or facility expansions required by
new service units for a period not to exceed ten years.
Element #7: A forecast of revenues generated by new service units other than development fees,
which shall include estimated state-shared revenue, highway users revenue, federal revenue, ad
valorem property taxes, construction contracting or similar excise taxes and the capital recovery
portion of utility fees attributable to development based on the approved land use assumptions,
and a plan to include these contributions in determining the extent of the burden imposed by the
development.
Offsets
To recognize other revenues which may fund the same category of NPS recovered through development
impact fees,ARS §9-463.05(B)(12) requires a municipality to forecast the contribution to be made in the
future in cash or by taxes, fees, assessments or other sources of revenue derived from the property owner
towards the capital costs of the NPS covered by the development impact fee and offset these
contributions in determining the extent of the burden imposed by the development for the NPS
recovered by the development impact fee.An offset is required if a dedicated tax or fee based revenue
source for a project funds the same NPS facilities that are recovered through development impact fees.
An example may be a dedicated sales tax to repay debt service for a new NPS that is included in the IIP.
Other
The statute allows for fees collected before January 1, 2012,to be used for projects no longer authorized,
if they are spent by January 1, 2020.
Methodologies
There are a variety of methods that can serve as a rational basis for computing non-utility and utility
development impact fees. The most common include:
System Buy-In
Plan Based Incremental or Incremental
Plan Based Average
Hybrid Method
The System Buy-in method uses a historical perspective. The original costs of the system’s fixed assets
are identified and escalated to current value using a nationally recognized index. System equity equals the
10
escalated original cost less developer contributions as well as growth-related interest costs. The
development impact fee is the quotient of the system value divided by the system capacity.
The Plan Based Incremental or Incremental method is forward-looking and considers only future
growth-related capital projects and acquisitions. The development impact fee is the quotient of the
growth-related cost of proposed projects for a specified time frame plus growth-related debt interest costs
divided by the increase in capacity provided by those projects.
The Plan Based Average method is similar to the Plan Based Incremental method. However, the plan
based average approach considers future growth-related projects that benefit new and existing
development. The development impact fee is the quotient of the cost of proposed projects for a specified
time frame divided by the total capacity served in the calculation year.
The Hybrid method combines the system buy-in and incremental methods. The development impact fee
is the quotient of the sum of the current system value and future growth-related capital costs divided by of
the sum of existing system capacity and the increase in capacity provided by the future growth -related
projects.
The Town must create an IIP to reflect the costs required to provide NPS for new growth. In developing
the costs in the IIP,the Town considered what was needed so the burden of providing services to new
development did not lower the service level for existing citizens or charge new development exclusively to
increase the level of service provided to existing residents.The Town may increase the level of service for
current and future residents; however,the development impact fee will reflect only the p ortion of the
facility benefiting new development,with funding for the increased level of service portion of the
improvement benefiting existing development funded by alternative sources.
In all fee categories, projects are based on facility needs to serve future development. However, many of
these facilities serve growth beyond the ten years shown in the IIP, and/or benefit existing residents in
terms of providing for and/or replacing existing Town facilities.Within Fire and EMS and Parks and
Recreation fee categories, there are existing and future facilities that will benefit current and future
development. Proposed fee calculations will recognize the proportional cost of current and future
facilities benefiting new development. Funding for the porti on of facilities benefiting existing
development will need to be funded from another source,which may include general fund revenues, debt
and/or future dedicated tax-based funding sources documented in the Fee Report.
Current Development Impact Fees
Tables 1 and 2 summarize the Town’s current non-utility development impact fees.The Streets
development impact fee summarized in Table 2 includes different fees assessed to single -family and multi-
family residential and commercial, office, hotel and industr ial categories.

The Town’s Library and Museum, Streets and Law Enforcement development impact fees will be phased
out by August 1, 2014,with existing fund balance being used to fund eligible capital improvements and/or
pledged debt as outlined within the balance of the report. Pending future updates to the Town’s long -
term capital plan and IIP, the Town may reinstate these and other devel opment impact fees that recover
the proportional impact of the identified facilities from new development in compliance with the
requirements of ARS § 9-463.05.
Land Use Assumptions
Appendix A summarizes the land use assumptions and growth projections through FY 2034-35. The
residential population and dwelling units are based on Town-provided projections, including anticipated

Infrastructure Improvements Plan
This IIP outlines the facilities and service requirements to meet projected growth over the next ten -year
period.The service area for the Town development impact fees includes the approximately 18.2 square
mile incorporated area of the Town.
The Town has identified improvements for development impact fee recovery for Fire and EMS and Park
and Recreation fee categories. The improvements may provide capacity beyond the ten -year period with
development impact fees based on the proportional cost of the f acilities per service unit.This approach
fairly distributes the cost recovery among current growth within the ten-year period and growth after the
ten-year period. Additional capital improvements have also been identified that are part of the Town’s
capital improvement program (CIP) over the same time period which may be operational in nature or for
facilities the that have not been identified for development impact fee recovery.
As part of the development impact fee calculation, a cash flow and capital funding plan will be further
evaluated based on the non-growth and growth-related portion of the NPS facilities identified within the
IIP. Development impact fees will exclude the portion of the facility benefiting existing development.
Revenues from New Development and Offset Calculations
The Town has projected total tax-based and fee-based revenues through FY 2024-25 included in
Appendix D. The total revenues will fund a variety of expenditures within the Town’s General Fund. Per
ARS § 9-463.05, offsets reflect the contribution toward funding the same category of NPS as recovered
through development impact fees from other tax and fee-based revenues generated from new
development. Offsets will be outlined within the Development Impact Fee Report and proposed fee
categories. An offset will be developed to reflect tax-based revenues funding the same NPS facilities that
are recovered through development impact fees7.
Offsets will be calculated per EDU for fee categories being updated reducing the overall development
impact fee assessed.
Existing Fund Balance
The current development impact fee fund balance for each of the fee categories at the end of FY 2012-13
is shown in Table 5.The fund balance represents the dollar amount available to pay fo r eligible projects
(including pledged debt) in each of the fee categories.
7 The Town does not assess an excess tax rate above the average tax rate and therefore an offset for the excess tax ra te is
not warranted.

Fire & EMS
The Town provides Fire & EMS services to residential and non-residential developments throughout the
Town.
Current Fire and EMS Facilities
Fire and EMS service is provided by two fire stations, apparatus and related equipment.The current
facility fixed asset records are summarized in Appendix B. Assets that were acquired when the Town took
over a Fire District and grant funded assets are excluded. Based on the current fixed asset inventory list
provided by the Town, the replacement cost of these existing assets are estimated based the acquisition
date and original cost escalated based on the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR-
CCI) to the date of September 2013. The net replacement cost excluding former Fire District assets and
grant funded assets is approximately $1.6 million. The Town does not have outstanding debt related to
current Fire and EMS facilities.

The Fire & EMS service levels are based on a variety of factors. The primary service level criterion is a n
average response time within five minutes 90% of the time and average of eight minutes 90% of the time
for two response time zones further away from Town center8. Several factors influence response times
including the location and number of calls in proximity to the Town’s two existing fire stations.Current
fire stations serve the entire community responding to calls based on location of the station and nature of
the call. When the primary station is responding to a call,the other station may be dispatched to respond
to subsequent calls outside of its primary geographic area resulting in longer response times.
Fire and EMS Facility Expansions
The Town has identified an additional station that is projected to be constructed by FY 2022-23 driven by
new development. The location of this fire station (the third in the Town)will be established by the
Town’s adopted Fire Station Master Plan.Figure 1 identifies the current and possible fire station facilities.

Fire and EMS Service Units and EDUs
Fire service units include both residents and employees,as people drive the demand for fire and EMS
services. Current and proposed fire stations are projected to provide sufficient capacity to projected
service units through FY 2034-35.Appendix B summarizes projected fire service units. Servic e units are
17
converted to housing units or residential EDUs using projected persons per occupied housing unit.
Similarly, the anticipated number of employees based on average square foot for retail, office, industrial
and hotel / motel varies by development type and service units are converted to the equivalent employees
per 1,000 square feet for assessment purposes. Table 6 summarizes the Fire and EMS EDUs by
development type based on the ratio of employees per 1,000 square feet to the residential EDU value.

development impact fees. The Fire and EMS development impact fee will be based on the hybrid
approach incorporating current and planned IIP eligible facili ties and total current and future service units
through FY 2034-35.
Parks and Recreation
The Town provides Park and Recreation facilities to residential developments throughout the Town.
Current Park and Recreation Facilities
The mission of the Town’s Community Services Department is to enhance the quality of life by providing
and maintaining safe, available, and accessible parks and recreation services located throughout the Town.
Table 7 summarizes the current inventory of neighborhood and community parks.

Park and Recreation facilities include parks, park improvements, and equipment.The current facility fixed
asset records are summarized in Appendix C. Based on the current fixed asset inventory list provided by
the Town, the replacement cost of these existing assets are estimated based the acquisition date and
original cost escalated based on the ENR-CCI to the date of September 2013.Land is valued at the
original cost and is not escalated based on the ENR -CCI and grant funded assets are excluded.The
replacement value of the current facilities less grant funded assets is over $21.3 million and detailed in
Appendix C.The Town does not have outstanding debt related to current Park and Recreation facilities.
Park and Recreation Service Level and Capacity
The Town’s Parks and Recreation service level is based on the number of acres per 1,000 residents for
community and neighborhood parks. The current service level is below the Town’s targeted ratios for
neighborhood parks and above the targeted service level for community parks . Table 8 summarizes the
target and current service levels provided.
Table 8
Neighborhood and Community Park Service Level
The benefit of the Parks and Recreational facilities to non-residential developments was evaluated. Based
on the types of facilities within the Town, a strong benefit to non -residential developments was not found
and therefore service units include only residential developments.
Park and Recreation Facility Expansions
The Town has identified two park improvements that will expand the current system to serve existing and
future development. The first improvement is associated with a planned development on the former State
Trust Lands that will be funded by the developer and excluded from development impact fee recovery .
The second improvement is a neighborhood park projected to be constructed by FY 2022-23 that will add
3.4 acres of new park acreage and improvements to the Town’s inventory summarized in Appendix C.

projected to provide sufficient capacity to projected service units through FY 2034-35.Appendix A
summarizes projected Park and Recreation service units. Service units are converted to housing units or
residential EDUs using projected persons per occupied housing unit of 2.16.
Park and Recreation Development Impact Fee and Capital Funding
The Town may issue debt to fund a portion of the proposed neighborhood park ref lected within
proposed development impact fees. The Parks and Recreation development impact fee will be based on
20
the hybrid approach incorporating current and planned IIP eligible facilities and total current and future
service units through FY 2034-35.
Trailhead Improvements / Open Space
The Town assessed an Open Space development impact fee until January 1, 2012 to recover the
proportional service level of existing and planned Open Space acquisitions and trailhead facilities for the
Town’s park and recreation system. Open Space service levels include:
114 acres per 1,000 residents
1,169 fee of trails per 1,000 residents
The Town has identified one future IIP eligible capital facility and currently does not have outstanding
pledged debt obligations funded through development impact fees. The planned improvement may be
funded within available funds from previously assessed development impact fees and therefore an Open
Space development impact fee will not be proposed as part of this study. The trailhead improvement and
fund balance will be adjusted as a Park and Recreation development impact fee restricted sub fund with
existing fund balance accumulated from previously assessed Open Space development impact fees
restricted to be used to fund the Adero Canyon Trailhead improvements that were included in the 2009
IIP and part of the Open Space development impact fees adopted by Town. The project is anticipated to
be completed by FY 2019-20 as summarized in Appendix C.
Law Enforcement
Police or Law Enforcement services are also provided to non-residential developments with the same
personnel. Additional support personnel are needed to support sworn officers.Police service levels are
based on a variety of factors. The primary service level criterion is based on response time for priority
one calls answered within one minute and a deputy dispatched on site within five minutes 9.The Town
does not currently own a separate police building as services are contracted to Maricopa County Sheriff’s
office with office space provided with the Town Hall .As the Town has not identified future IIP eligible
capital facilities and currently does not have outstanding debt obligations, the Law Enforcement
development impact fee will be eliminated no later than August 1, 2014. Th e existing fund balance
accumulated from previously assessed law enforcement development impact fees will be used to fund the
Law Enforcement space to be included in the planned Fire Station #2 relocation in FY 2014-15.
Library and Museum
The Town provides Library and Museum NPS to residential and non-residential developments through a
single facility constructed in 2000.This facility was funded initially with bonds that have subsequently
been refinanced.
Library and Museum service levels include:
0.74 library square feet per resident
9 Agreement for Law Enforcement Services between the Town of Fountain Hills and Maricopa Cou nty Sheriff’s Office,
Section II A.

0.28 museum square feet per resident
As the Town has not identified future IIP eligible capital facilities,the Library and Museum development
impact fee will be eliminated no later than August 1, 2014.The existing fund balance accumulated from
previously assessed library and museum development impact fees will be used to fund a portion of the
General Obligation 2005 Series debt service payments for the library and museum building.
Streets
The Town provides street NPS and currently assesses Street development impact fees to residential and
non-residential developments summarized in Table 2.The fees were most recently updated in 2009 and
recover the cost of constructing arterial streets and associated facilities necessary to serve new growth.
The Town has several current and future Street capital improvements, including those that e xpand
capacity serving current and future customers.
Street service levels are based on the vehicle mile capacity of collector and arterial streets summarized in
the Table 9.
Table 9
Street Service Level Standard
Street service levels are typically defined based on the capacity of each lane mile for different service level
grades and traffic conditions. For example, if a street were constructed to service level “A” the lane
capacity mile would exceed a similar street constructed at service level “D” or a reduced service level.
As the Town has not identified future IIP eligible capital facilities and currently does not have outstanding
debt obligations funded through development impact fees, the Streets developmen t impact fee will be
eliminated no later than August 1, 2014. The Town may identify IIP eligible Street facilities pending future
updates to the Town’s long-term capital, transportation master plan and IIP in compliance with the
requirements of ARS §9-463.05. The existing fund balance accumulated from previously assessed Street
development impact fees will be used to fund a portion project S6005 that has started and projected to be
completed in FY 2013-14. This project includes widening of Shea and Saguro Boulevards and was
previously included as growth-related project within the 2009 IIP.
