Page 2 of 6 SITTING AS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE For Possible Action — Presentation, discussion and possible direction regarding the update of the 2006- 2015 Pahrump Regional Planning District Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). (DL) Darrell Lacy reviewed what Impact Fees are and what he is trying to do with the Improvement Plan update. The BOCC chose not to approve storm and drainage fees they did approve impact fees for Parks, Police, Fire and Streets and Highways. The original impact fee calculation study was done in 2006 and 2007 when the growth rate was projected to be 6% per year. We had a recession and had slow growth. The current growth rate for 2017 — 2018 is at 2% right now. Working with Planning and Public Works they have identified 40 road sections and several new intersection improvements that they think should be added to the list of uncompleted roads from the previous CIP study. They have identified in the Master Plan things that would help growth on the Southside. Connection for Thousandaire to State Hwy 160, and a South loop which is Kellogg to 160. North on 160 the intersection of Manse and 160 is also the intersection for Eberhard and 160. Eberhard to the North would be proposed as an intersection and road entrance to the Great Basin College Campus. On the East bypass the MP showed picking up where Kellogg and Thousandaire hit 160. Those were based on an assumption of future disposal of land by BLM and private land in the area. Due to the lack of development in the area that isn’t the appropriate place to start an East bypass somewhere around the fairgrounds/race track area. For an east bypass they would do phases 1A and 1B which would start in that area and go to Bell Vista. Road Construction starts at one (1) Million a mile. One of the next steps includes some possible flood control in this project. The original project that was studied in 2008 was a $315 million flood control plan for the whole valley and included a piece of the east bypass. If we could start collecting money to enable surveying, ROW acquisition from BLM and get to a point we can move forward and start asking for grants. John Koenig stated they talked about impact fees for the flood plain. Discussion with the old CIP board was that there was no point in an impact fee to collect per rooftop because we wouldn’t generate that type of money.
Mr. Lacy
stated they are looking at somewhere in the 11-million-dollar range for that section. If they can accumulate some funds and work on the ROW acquisitions it will give us something to work with.
Commissioner Lee
asked if the list in the back up is listed by priority or yet to be determined.
Mr. Lacy
stated that is to be determined. One of the CIP annual analysis is to reorganize projects by priority.
Commissioner Bennett
asked what type of taxes we are collecting from Front Sight and the Race Track, the prison.
Mr. Lacy
stated this is impact fees based on new homes or new commercial businesses. We get property tax for properties in town, gas tax for the roads. This impact fee doesn’t allow us to maintain or rebuild existing roads, this is to expand existing roads or build new roads. Once we have impact fees PW, CIP, the RTC and the BOCC review and put road projects forward for priority and determine what project gets paid from what fund. We contributed CIP funding to NDOT to build the roundabouts, so it moved it up in priority for us.
Commissioner Koenig
stated if we don’t use the money within X amount of years or commit to using it has to go back to the developer that paid it.
Commissioner Fowler
asked what X amount of years is?
Mr. Lacy
stated committed in 5 spend in 10. Page 3 of 6
Commissioner Koenig
stated what we get from Front Sight and the Racetrack is the same from anyone else. Front sight has no homes, so it is just property taxes.
Commissioner Bennett
asked where the money from the Prison goes that they have to pay the county. /
Commissioner Koenig
stated it goes into the general fund.
Commissioner Fowler
asked what the projected impact fee numbers are for the phases 1 and 2 at the Commercial Development at the track and the Front Sight new development plans for their condos.
Mr. Lacy
stated impact fee per residential rooftop is $1941 with potentially 77 homes. The commercial is around $3 a square foot.
Commissioner Koenig
stated if you build a 4,000 sq. ft, $4 million-dollar home you pay $1941 and if you put a $100,000 manufactured home down you pay $1941.
Commissioner Fowler
asked if the funds they receive from the Race Track or Front Sight are better spent in that general vicinity.
Mr. Lacy
stated impacts from development follow three areas. They will have to do everything onsite, then directly in front of them which is the State Highway and they will have to do a traffic study which they will look at local impact.
Commissioner Fowler
asked how much of their data will be able to piggy back on when they look at starting the bypass?
Mr. Lacy
stated if we can attribute activity in a certain area by their traffic count they would have paid mitigation fees on top of this. They will pay direct based on the traffic engineer study. This might be roads at Kellogg and Homestead or Bell Vista and Leslie based on what the CIP is priority.
Commissioner Fowler
stated if we can get as creative as possible with the Race Track and the resources they put in or the DOE Funding that we might be able to get.
Mr. Lacy
stated we have to have a statutory basis for any fee’s we collect.
Commissioner Koenig
stated we have to be careful how we spend the fees, we can’t take fees from Pahrump and spend it on a road in Amargosa. We have to look at what the impact the race track will have on Pahrump, they want to be self-contained. They may or may not come into town to shop. That is the point of their commercial development.
Mr. Lacy
stated they also get a room tax at 7% into the town of Pahrump tourism fund. Some of it goes to parks, the fair ground development and marketing.
Commissioner Curtis
asked if there are ever any taxes on agricultural construction.
Mr. Lacy
stated yes if they build buildings but if it is just farming no. He isn’t sure if there is a agricultural project exemption,
Mr. Waggoner
stated there is an agricultural exemption. If there is a building involved there is an impact involved.
Commissioner Curtis
asked if that would be a commercial impact.
Mr. Waggoner
stated yes. Page 4 of 6 Regular Agenda Items: Action may be taken by the Regional Planning Commission on the following items: 10. 11.
