Bastrop City Council will consider an amendment to its roadway impact fee ordinance next month to fund infrastructure needed as the city continues to grow.
The details: The roadway impact fee ordinance, established in 2023, allows the city to collect money from developers when plats are approved and applies to the construction of new streets.
Vivianna Nicole Andres, Bastrop city manager assistant, highlighted how a roadway impact fee is based on several factors, including:
- The date of the approval of the final plat
- The type and use of the structure being constructed
- The service area in which the property is located
“An update is needed to revise the ordinance to include newly annexed areas,” Andres said. “As the community continues to grow, the city will need to extend streets to accommodate growth.”
