Herriman council adopts updated transportation master plan, lowers transportation impact fees
Summary
The council unanimously adopted an updated transportation master plan and a linked impact-fee enactment that, staff said, reduces the per-home transportation impact fee roughly 27% (from about $3,900 to $2,700 for a single-family home) and phases projects through 2050. Councilors and staff said the change aims to balance growth funding with economic development incentives.
Herriman City Council unanimously adopted an updated transportation master plan and an accompanying impact-fee enactment on March 25, moving the long-range project list and fee calculations into the city's formal policy framework.
Bryce, the staff presenter, told the council the plan uses the Wasatch Front Regional Council model refined to Herriman's local traffic analysis zones and projects growth through 2050. He said the impact-fee analysis identifies which phase-1 projects are "impact-fee eligible" (growth-paying-for-growth) and that recent changes such as public infrastructure districts and a shift of some costs to UDOT have driven a lower cost-per-trip. "Our cost per trip is going down by about 27%," Bryce said, and staff estimated a single-family home would pay about $2,700 at building-permit time, down from roughly $3,900 under the prior schedule.
Bryce cautioned councilors that impact fees do not cover 100% of project costs and said general-fund dollars, grants or other sources will still be needed for many projects. He also noted coordination with UDOT on SR-126 remains unresolved and could affect long-term outcomes for some corridors.
Councilors asked about the interactive story map and scenario slider staff published online; Bryce said residents can compare build/no-build scenarios and click project phases to see planned timing and safety recommendations. After brief public comment and the required public hearing, Councilor Jared moved to adopt ordinance 2026-06 (the transportation master plan) and ordinance 2026-07 (impact-fee facility plan, analysis and enactment); the motions passed by roll call.
What happens next: staff will finalize the ordinance language and implement the updated fee schedule at building permit issuance; the plan will also serve as a foundational data source for subsequent master plans and capital project prioritization.
The vote: Council approved both ordinances in separate roll-call votes (ordinance 2026-06 and ordinance 2026-07).
