Fair Oaks Ranch confirms water and wastewater impact-fee totals after council adoption
Summary
Fair Oaks Ranch officials confirmed the maximum allowable impact fees that City Council adopted in August: $21,000.13 for water and $9,943 for wastewater, a combined total of $30,009.58. Committee members reviewed packet pages and noted earlier numerical confusion in meeting materials.
Fair Oaks Ranch’s Capital Improvements Advisory Committee reviewed and confirmed the impact-fee amounts the City Council adopted Aug. 7, 2025, totaling $30,009.58 for a single-family connection.
The committee, which advises the council on land-use assumptions and impact fees, confirmed the maximum allowable water impact fee is $21,000.13 and the wastewater impact fee is $9,943, for a combined total of $30,009.58. Staff said the ordinance adopting those amounts is included in the meeting packet.
Committee members discussed an apparent error in earlier references to the fee totals in meeting materials and agreed that the figures printed on page 13 of the packet are the accurate amounts sent to City Council. Staff reiterated that council has the legal authority to lower but not raise the maximum fees the committee recommends.
Committee chair (ex officio) Maven and staff noted the packet contains the ordinance that City Council approved and that the record of adoption is available as the last item in the meeting materials. Members also reviewed how impact fees were calculated as part of a five-year update and discussed that the newly adopted fees are substantially higher than the previous five-year cycle.
The committee did not take a separate vote on the fee ordinance at this meeting; the City Council’s adoption was reported as an administrative update and the ordinance number and vote totals were not specified in the CIAC transcript.
The committee’s discussion prefaced a broader briefing during the meeting on how impact-fee revenue will be applied to water and wastewater capital projects over the coming years.
