Planning, analysis and community input
Midland’s growth comes with challenges. One of those challenges is how to pay for needed infrastructure in anticipation of growth.
The City of Midland selected Parkhill, with the collaboration of Kimley-Horn Associates, to complete a Midland Impact Fee Study to implement development impact fees for the city. This study included significant public involvement, advisory committee leadership, and multiple presentations to the city council.
In a 16-month timeframe, Parkhill assembled a citizens advisory committee that walked through the study of the purpose of impact fees, benefits and drawbacks to implementing them in Midland, and successfully gained support from the development community and city council for approval to implement them for roadway, water, and sewer capital improvements. The study efforts with the committee included workshops with city staff, review of land use assumptions and service areas, discussion of comparison cities and funding options, reviewing preliminary and final capital improvements plans, reviewing draft impact fee calculations, discussion of the draft reports, outlining priorities for improvements, and providing written comments to the city council on the land use assumptions, capital improvement plans, and proposed fees. Assessment of fees began in October 2019, and collection started in October 2020.
