Consultants show draft maximums, compare Copperas Cove fees with neighbors
Summary
Kimley‑Horn presented draft maximum assessable fees and comparisons with nearby cities; consultants said council can set collection rates below the maximum or vary rates by land‑use type.
Consultants presented draft maximum assessable fees for roadway and water impact fees and compared Copperas Cove's draft figures with several Central and South Texas communities. Ben Platt said none of the peer communities in the slides had adopted the maximum assessable fee and that council can choose collection rates below the ceiling.
Platt displayed comparisons showing Killeen and other nearby jurisdictions with lower and higher charges; he noted Leander's single‑family fee is among the highest in the region. Platt said councils commonly set different collection rates for residential and commercial development and can ramp up collection over time or defer charges for a period to ease developer transition. He described the draft numbers as order‑of‑magnitude and said a financial assessment will refine the figures.
