Staff Summary (background):
A.R.S. § 9-463.05 governs how development fees are calculated for municipalities in Arizona. Under the
updated requirements of A.R.S. § 9-463.05, a development impact fee study is segmented into three major
components as follows:
1. The Land Use Assumptions (“LUA”) document identifies the current and projected service
units by service area.
2. The Infrastructure Improvements Plan (“IIP”) identifies the current and future facilities to
serve the projected growth 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.
The adoption of a new IIP and proposed fees includes several opportunities for public input. The adopted
IIP/LUA and the proposed development fees resulting therefrom are posted on the Town’s website. The
following is the schedule of public hearings and adoption of the IIP and development fees:

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 Final LUA and IIP dated March 10,
2014. The Final LUA and IIP 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 Final LUA and IIP
Report dated March 11, 2014.
3.Development Impact Fee report (Fee Report), the subject of this document,outlines the
proposed development impact fee by fee category and service area based on the eligible
facilities and service units identified in the separate Final LUA and IIP Report dated
March 10, 2014. The Fee Report incorporates capital funding analyses, offset
calculations (if any)and cash flow projections for the proposed development impact fees.
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 Parks 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
The draft development impact fees are proposed to be effective August 1, 2014.
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.

Current Development Impact Fees (Except Streets)
Table 4
Current Streets Development Impact Fees
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
development impact fees that recover the proportional impact of the identified facilities from
new development in compliance with the requirements of ARS § 9-463.05.
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 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 necessary public services 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 servi ce 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 portion 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.Proposed
fee calculations recognize the proportional cost of current and future facilities benefiting new
development. Funding for the portion 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.However, the IIP eligible
facilities documented in this report are fully allocated to growth without a benefit to existing
development with no offset required.
Fire and Emergency Development Impact Fee
The draft Fire and Emergency development impact fees will be assessed Town-wide.Table 5
summarizes draft Fire and Emergency development impact fees by type of development.
6
Table 5
Draft Fire and Emergency Development Impact Fees
Residential developments are assessed fees per housing unit while non-residential commercial,
public, lodging and industrial development categories are assessed per 1,000 square feet of
development.Draft fees are proposed to be effective August 1,2014.
The Town’s Fire and Emergency development impact fee was calculated using the hybrid
approach that considers:
Replacement value of constructed and eligible facilities.
Current cost of future growth-related IIP projects.
Increase reflecting net present value (NPV) of future interest of growth-related portion of
projected debt issues.
Appendix A summarizes the calculated Fire and Emergency development impact fees per
residential housing unit and non-residential square feet.The eligible costs are allocated between
residential and non-residential development types based on projected square feet of development
at FY 2034-35.Service units reflect existing and projected housing units and non-residential
square feet detailed in the Final LUA IIP Report.The capacity of planned facilities will be
exceeded in FY 2034-35 and the total current and projected FY 2034-35 square feet are used to
allocate costs before calculating draft development impact fees by type of development.
The components of the calculated Fire and Emergency development impact fee and associated
cash flow projection is discussed in the following sections.
Eligible Assets Replacement Value
The replacement value of current eligible Fire and Emergency facilities is approximately $1.6
million excluding grant funded and donated assets as detailed in the Final LUA and IIP Report
and supporting worksheets in Appendix A. The asset value includes existing fire stations, land,
specialized vehicles, apparatus, equipment and miscellaneous assets and excludes administrative
vehicles, grant funded or donated assets.
Infrastructure Improvements Plan Projects
The total cost of the proposed fire station number 3 is $2.8 million anticipated to be constructed
from FY 2021-22 through FY 2022-23 as detailed in the Final LUA and IIP Report and
summarized in Appendix A to this report.The new fire station is allocated fully to future

development (growth)benefiting future residential and non-residential developments.Based on
the timing of the projects, an annual capital project inflation rate of 3%, compounded annually, is
applied to project cost estimates and illustrated in the cash flow and supporting worksheet also
provided in Appendix A.
Cash Flow
A cash flow analysis has been compiled to summarize the sources and uses and funding
requirements of Fire and Emergency development impact fee fund included in Appendix A. The
sections below outline projects and cash flow uses of IIP projects,debt issuance and reserve
requirements, debt service funded through development impact fee revenues, interest income,
and debt proceeds.This section summarizes the assumptions and projections outlined in
Appendix A.
The Fire and Emergency development impact fee fund has a fund balance of $43,624 as of June
30, 2013 available to fund future growth-related improvements.
Debt Proceeds, Issuance Costs and Debt Service
Debt is projected to be issued to fund the proposed IIP eligible capital improvements. Debt
projections reflect availability of revenues generated from development impact fees balanced
against the timing of the project and availability of cash to partially fund anticipated capital
projects. Assumptions regarding the term, interest rate, debt service requi rement and issuance
expenses are also summarized in Appendix C.
NPV of Future Growth-Related Debt Interest
The NPV of future interest payments associated with future development’s portion of debt
funded Fire and Emergency IIP facilities is projected to be approximately $1.6 million. The
NPV interest reflects today’s value associated with funding the growth -related facilities and is
eligible for inclusion as assessed development impact fees are anticipated to repay the growth -
related debt service.The annual debt service and NPV associated with projected debt issues are
detailed in Appendix A.
Revenue Projections
Projected Fire and Emergency development impact fee revenues are based on the draft fees by
residential and non-residential development type, indexed for inflation, applied to projected
development for the following development types:
Residential
o Single-family residential
o Multi-family residential
Non-residential
o Commercial / lodging
8
o Industrial
Residential developments are assessed fees per housing unit while non-residential development
categories are assessed per 1,000 square feet of development.The fee increases are delayed 24
months after the August 1, 2014 effective date or two years to FY 2016-17 to conservatively
project revenues for plats that have already been approved and will be assessed the current Fire
and Emergency development impact fee. Plats that have been approved will be assessed the
current Fire and Emergency development impact fee since the fee is increasing.Appendix A
summarizes the projected development impact fee revenues by type of development.
Parks and Recreation Development Impact Fee
The draft Parks and Recreation development impact fees will be assessed Town-wide.
Table 6 summarizes draft Parks and Recreation development impact fees by type of
development.
Table 6
Draft Parks and Recreation Development Impact Fees
Residential developments are assessed fees per housing unit.Draft fees are proposed to be
effective August 1, 2014.
The Town’s Parks and Recreation development impact fee was calculated using the hybrid
approach that considers:
Replacement value of constructed and eligible facilities.
Current cost of future growth-related IIP projects.
Appendix B summarizes the calculated Parks and Recreation development impact fees per
housing unit.The components of the calculated Parks and Recreation development impact fee
and associated cash flow projection is discussed in the following sections.
Eligible Assets Replacement Value
The replacement value of current eligible Parks and Recreation facilities is approximately $21.3
million excluding grant funded assets as detailed in the Final LUA and IIP Report and Appendix
B. The asset value includes existing parks and improvements,land, equipment and
miscellaneous assets and excludes grant funded assets.

Infrastructure Improvements Plan Projects
The total cost of the planned Town funded Parks and Recreation IIP eligible improvements is
$0.7 million anticipated to be constructed in FY 2022-23 as detailed in the Final LUA and IIP
Report and summarized in Appendix B to this report.The future park improvements are
allocated fully to future development (growth)benefiting future residential developments.Based
on the timing of the projects, an annual capital project inflation rate of 3%, compounded
annually, is applied to project cost estimates and illustrated in the cash flow and supporting
worksheets also provided in Appendix B.
Cash Flow
A cash flow analysis has been compiled to summarize the sources and uses of the Parks and
Recreation development impact fee fund. Appendix B details the cash flow analysis. The
sections below outline projects and cash flow uses of IIP projects funded through development
impact fee revenues and interest income.The Town does not have outstanding debt repaid
through Parks and Recreation development impact fees and additional debt is not projected to be
required to fund future IIP eligible facilities.This section summarizes the assumptions and
projections outlined in Appendix B.
The Parks and Recreation development impact fee fund has a fund balance of approximately
$47,859 as of June 30, 2013 available to fund future eligible Park and Recreation facilities.
Revenue Projections
Projected Parks and Recreation development impact fee revenues are based on the draft fee by
residential housing unit, indexed for inflation, applied to projected single-family and multi-
family residential development.Residential developments are assessed fees per housing unit.
