Springville City Council approves 2024 Transportation Master Plan and impact fees

The Springville City Council meeting on December 16, 2024, focused on the approval of the 2024 Springville City Transportation Master Plan Impact Fee Facility Plan and Impact Fee Analysis. The council discussed the importance of impact fees, which are designed to ensure that the costs associated with development are covered by developers rather than the general public.

During the meeting, council members expressed their support for the plan, emphasizing its fairness to citizens. Council member Brad highlighted that the impact fees would alleviate financial burdens on residents, as the costs would be borne by those undertaking new developments. The council unanimously approved the motion to adopt the updated plan and enact the associated transportation impact fees.

The council also encouraged staff to review the impact fees annually to ensure they remain fair and relevant to the community's needs. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, marking the end of discussions on this significant planning initiative for Springville.
