SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)20-15, designating David Gephart as Chief Fiscal Officer, authorized to submit the Town's Annual
Expenditure Limitation Report (AELR) to the Auditor General
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Arizona Revised Statutes Section 41-1279.07(E) requires each county, city, town and community college district to
annually provide to the Auditor General, by July 31, the name of the Chief Fiscal Officer (CFO) the governing board
designated to submit the current year's annual expenditure limitation report (AELR). The Auditor General's Office
has recently updated the CFO designation form to require documentation of the governing board's official
designation authorizing the individual to submit the AELR as the CFO, such as a board resolution or meeting
minutes. Council's action approving the attached resolution designating David Gephart as the Chief Fiscal Officer
authorized to submit the AELR satisfies this requirement.
The AELR is prepared annually by the Town's independent auditors, Heinfeld Meech, and is required to be filed
with the Auditor General's Office by March 31 each year, or nine months after fiscal year-end. The Town already
submitted its AELR for last fiscal year prior to the March 31, 2020 deadline.

Meeting Date:05/06/2020
Requested by: George Dunscomb Submitted By:George Dunscomb, Magistrate Court
Department:Magistrate Court
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)20-16, authorizing and approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Town of
Oro Valley and the Pima County Jail to provide officer coverage for video proceedings between the jail and the
Court
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the IGA between the Town and the Pima County Sheriffs' Department for Jail staff to
move OV prisoners from their cells to the video court room and back.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Town Magistrate has determined that obtaining the necessary video equipment to conduct remote hearings
with individuals being held in the Pima County Jail, thus eliminating the need to physically transport them to the
court for hearings, will be more cost effective, increase security, and minimize potential health-related issues
associated with the current pandemic restrictions. This IGA allows the Magistrate Court to access the video system
at the jail, reserves a specified time for those hearings one time each week, and provides for jail officers to be
present to move the Oro Valley prisoners from their cells to the video courtroom, watch them during the hearing,
give them their paperwork and move them back to their cells.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Town of Oro Valley is entering into an IGA with Pima County to provide video conferencing capabilities
between the Pima County Jail Court Room and the Oro Valley Magistrate Court Room. Recent security staff
changes and COVID-related challenges led to implementation of this solution.
During the Court’s Operational Review conducted by the Administrative Office of the Court (AOC) in November
2019, the Court was informed by the AOC that they felt having a “bailiff” who wore an Oro Valley Police Department
uniform violated the separation between the Court and the Administrative Branch of government. The review further
concluded that OV's practice of using the sworn officer bailiff to transport prisoners by himself did not adhere to
safety protocols. Therefore, the bailiff position is being renamed “Court Security Officer” and will no longer have the
ability to conduct prisoner transports.
Because the state identified that having a sworn officer provide security in the courtroom was problematic, the Oro
Valley Police Department was also no longer able to provide back-up security for the Court. As a result, the Court
entered into an agreement with the Arizona Rangers to provide backup coverage and to transport in-custody
defendants to the Court, at a cost of $200 per court session.
Adding to an already complicated situation, the COVID-19 pandemic further increased risk of exposure to staff and
members of the public during prisoner transport and in the courtroom for court hearings.
As a result, video conferencing is a prudent solution to these challenges. The attached IGA between the Town of
Oro Valley and Pima County sets out the terms of the Town’s use of the jail facility and staff to conduct the
in-custody hearings without transporting prisoners.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The initial video equipment cost $11,654.66 and was paid out of Court funds controlled by the Administrative Office
of the Courts.
The IGA provides one officer, for one hour each week, 52 weeks a year at an hour rate of $33 for one hour, for a
total projected expense of $1,731 per year. At present, the Municipal Court has a contract with the Arizona
Rangers to conduct transports, one time each week at a cost of $200 per court session, for an annual cost
of $10,400, which was a cost added during the fiscal year due to the AOC review findings (and therefore not
budgeted). The IGA is a significantly more cost efficient way to manage prisoner appearances.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (approve or deny) Resolution No. (R)20-16, approving the IGA between the Town of Oro Valley and
Pima County for the use of video equipment and personnel at the jail.

THE TOWN OF ORO VALLEY, a municipal corporation, (hereinafter sometimes referred to as
the “Town”); and
THE COUNTY OF PIMA, a body politic and corporate, a political subdivision of the State of
Arizona, (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “County”).
WHEREAS the Parties desire to enter into an agreement to provide video-court hearings for

one another for joint or cooperative action pursuant to A.R.S. § 11-952, et seq.; and

NOW THEREFORE, THE TOWN AND COUNTY HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The County of Pima’s Sheriff’s Department Corrections Bureau shall provide the Town of Oro
Valley’s Magistrate Court with a video court session between Oro Valley Magistrate Court
(OVMC) and the Pima County Adult Detention Center (PCADC).
2. PCADC will be responsible for pulling OVMC’s inmate files and preparing them for court,
preparing their inmates for court, providing security in the courtroom, providing clerical support

4. Each video court session will be weekly on Thursdays, beginning at 0830 hours. Both Town
and County agree that this schedule may be changed based on either party’s need for more
video court time, or based on other factors that could require a different schedule. OVMC shall
complete the video court session no later than 0930 hours. Any hearing extending past 0930
hours shall be continued at a later date.
5. Town of Oro Valley will pay for one weekly hour of video court which will cover the cost of one

Corrections Officer (1 hour) $33.29
Total for one hour: $33.29
6. “Town of Oro Valley Prisoner” shall mean any person who has been incarcerated as a result of a

or has been sentenced pursuant to an order of the Oro Valley Magistrate Court and for whom
the Town of Oro Valley has the legal obligation to provide or pay for prisoner housing (this
Agreement does not create such an obligation, that obligation exists under current Arizona Law).
A prisoner arrested by the Town of Oro Valley Police Department solely on another
governmental entity warrant is not a Town of Oro Valley prisoner.
7. Criteria and Rules Governing Billing:

ending at 0930 hours each Thursday, or any fractional part thereof.
b. Should a “billable video-court session” not occur in any given week, the Town of Oro
Valley will not be billed that week.
c. The Town of Oro Valley will be billed monthly for these services. Invoicing for these
services will be separate from the monthly incarceration billing invoice and must be paid
separately.
8. Criteria for Assessment of Billing:
a. The costs of a “billable video-court session” shall be based on the current rates of salary
each involved class of employee currently earns. These rates are subject to increase as
wages increase for the classification.
b. County will give Town a thirty (30) day notice of any salary rate increase and Town will
be billed accordingly.
9. County will submit a statement of Town of Oro Valley video-court session charges on a monthly
basis. This statement shall provide information in chronological order as follows: billing period,
dates of video court sessions, weekly costs of individual employees, weekly totals, and the
monthly total bill.
Any individual video court session charge contested shall be made known to the County within
30 days after receipt of the monthly billing. If the Town notifies the County of a dispute within
30 days of receipt of the monthly billing, the Town may withhold payment on those specific video
court sessions for which billing is disputed until the dispute has been resolved. No dispute will
be accepted if not made within 30 days after the receipt on the monthly billing. Disputes about
the billing statement shall be jointly reviewed by both parties and satisfactorily resolved within 45
days of the monthly billing. All charges shall be paid within sixty days of receipt of the monthly
billing, excluding contested charges. Contested charges shall be paid within 30 days of
resolution of the dispute. Charges remaining unresolved after the 60-day period may be
arbitrated by a mutually acceptable third party. Town agrees to pay interest on outstanding
charges beginning on the 10th day after resolution of the billing at a rate of 10% per annum until
paid. Town agrees that when a check is sent to County in payment of previously disputed
charge, Town will attach an invoice detailing what specific charges are being paid. Town
agrees that when funds are withheld due to a disputed charge, the specific charge being
disputed, and the amount of payment being withheld, will be specified on an invoice attached to
the payment check for the period in which the charge disputed was included. Town agrees to
attach to each check submitted to County an invoice indicating the dates for which that check is
to be applied.
10 This Agreement shall cover the time period from May 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020. This
Agreement may be extended for four (4) additional one (1) year periods or any portion thereof.
Any extension of this Agreement shall be by written amendment executed by the governing
bodies of the parties.
11. Neither party shall be obliged to the other party for any costs incurred pursuant to this
Agreement, except as herein provided.
12. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as either limiting or extending the statutory
jurisdiction of either of the signing parties hereto.
13. To the extent permitted by law, each party agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless the
other, their appointed boards and commissions, officials, employees and insurance carriers,
individually and collectively from all losses, claims, suits, demands, expenses, subrogation,
attorney’s fees or actions of any kind resulting from all personal injury including bodily injury and
death, and property damage occasioned during the term of this Agreement for acts or omissions
of such party, its agents, officials, and employees. Each party represents that it shall maintain
for the duration of this Agreement, policies of public liability insurance covering all of their
operations undertaken in implementation of this Agreement, providing bodily injury limits of not
less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) for any one person, of not less than One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for any one occurrence, and property damage liability to a limit of
not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The parties may fulfill the obligations
of this Article by programs of self-insurance equivalent in coverage.
14. The parties agree to be bound by arbitration, as provided in Arizona Revised Statutes, §
12-1501 et. seq. to resolve disputes arising out of this Agreement where the sole relief sought is
monetary damage of $50,000 or less, exclusive of interest and costs.
15. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated with
thirty days notice, if for any reason the Pima County Board of Supervisors does not appropriate
sufficient monies for the purpose of maintaining this Agreement. In the event of such
cancellation, County shall have no further obligation to the Town other than for services already

SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: PURSUANT TO A.R.S. §9-463.05, TO DISCUSS AND REVIEW POSSIBLE CHANGES TO
THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES CHARGED BY THE TOWN OF ORO VALLEY
RECOMMENDATION:
No action is required.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the February 19, 2020 regular Town Council meeting, Council approved the land use assumptions (LUA) and
infrastructure improvement plans (IIP) sections of the development impact fee study prepared for parks,
police, streets and water. The purpose of this agenda item is to present the Town Council with the Development
Impact Fees and receive public comment. Arizona Revised Statutes state that a public hearing must be held on the
proposed Development Impact Fees.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Development impact fees are assessed by the Town to fund one-time infrastructure improvements needed as a
result of new growth. These fees are accumulated to construct specific improvements or portions of improvements
within the Town in accordance with the LUA and IIP adopted by the elected body. The Your Voice, Our Future
general plan specifies that new growth pay for itself. Development impact fees are the primary way in which that
occurs.
The last comprehensive update of the Town's impact fees was completed in 2014. At that time, the Town adopted
fees for parks, police, transportation and water. In January 2019, the Town retained the services of TischlerBise to
prepare the updated impact fee report. The detailed report was made available on the Town of Oro Valley website
for public review on November 1, 2019, and the updated report was made available on March 9, 2020 (Attachment
1). Copies of the draft report were sent to various stakeholders to include the Southern Arizona Home Builders
Association, Metropolitan Pima Alliance, Greater Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce, Tucson Metro Chamber of
Commerce, Larsen Baker LLC, Engineering and Environmental Consultants, Inc. and the Arizona Multi-housing
Association. Stakeholder meetings were held on November 18, 2019, and December 17, 2019.
The development fees are included in the Development Fee Report chapter (pages 1-13). The Arizona Fee
Comparison which was part of TischlerBise's January 8 presentation has been updated and can be found under
Attachment 2. During the February 19 Council meeting, Council requested a comparison of non-residential fees,
which can be found under Attachment 3. When comparing the non-residential fees, Oro Valley's proposed fees are
competitive within the local market.
Next Steps
The following table illustrates the timeline for approval based on the State law's public participation process:
Meeting Date
Public Hearing: Development Fees to Council Wednesday, May 6, 2020
Council Approve/Deny: Impact Fees Wednesday, June 17, 2020
75-day Waiting Period to Collect new Fees Monday, September 1, 2020
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on the TischlerBise draft report, the combined total of the fees would be approximately 7% decrease for
residential uses, approximately 33% higher for retail/commercial and 18% decrease for office, industrial and
warehouse uses. The TischlerBise draft report summarizes the proposed and current fees on page 12.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
A motion is not required by Council. This is a public hearing for comment only.

E XECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Town of Oro Valley hired TischlerBise, Inc., to document land use assumptions, prepare an
Infrastructure Improvements Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “IIP”), and update development fees
pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes (“ARS”) § 9-436.05 (hereinafter referred to as the “Enabling
Legislation”). Municipalities in Arizona may assess development fees to offset infrastructure costs to a
municipality for necessary public services. The development fees must be based on an Infrastructure
Improvements Plan and Land Use Assumptions. The IIPs for each type of infrastructure are located in each
infrastructure type’s corresponding section, and the Land Use Assumptions can be found in Appendix A.
The proposed development fees are displayed in the Development Fee Report chapter.
Development fees are one-time payments used to construct system improvements needed to
accommodate new development. The fee represents future development’s proportionate share of
infrastructure costs. Development fees may be used for infrastructure improvements or debt service for
growth related infrastructure. In contrast to general taxes, development fees may not be used for
operations, maintenance, replacement, or correcting existing deficiencies.
This update of the Town’s Infrastructure Improvements Plan and associated update to its development
fees includes the following necessary public services:
• Parks and Recreational Facilities
• Police Facilities
• Street Facilities
• Water Facilities
This plan also includes all necessary elements required to be in full compliance with Arizona Revised
Statutes (“ARS”) § 9-436.05 (SB 1525).
ARIZONA DEVELOPMENT FEE ENABLING LEGISLATION
The Enabling Legislation governs how development fees are calculated for municipalities in Arizona.
Necessary Public Services
Under the requirements of the Enabling Legislation, development fees may only be used for construction,
acquisition or expansion of public facilities that are necessary public services. “Necessary public service”
means any of the following categories of facilities that have a life expectancy of three or more years and
that are owned and operated on behalf of the municipality: water, wastewater, storm water, drainage,
flood control, library, streets, fire and police, and neighborhood parks and recreation. Additionally, a
necessary public service includes any facility, not included in the aforementioned categories (e.g., general
government facilities), that was financed before June 1, 2011 and that meets the following requirements:
1. Development fees were pledged to repay debt service obligations related to the construction of
the facility.
2. After August 1, 2014, any development fees collected are used solely for the payment of principal
and interest on the portion of the bonds, notes, or other debt service obligations issued before
June 1, 2011 to finance construction of the facility.

Infrastructure Improvements Plan
Development fees must be calculated pursuant to an IIP. For each necessary public service that is the
subject of a development fee, by law, the IIP shall include the following seven elements:
• A description of the existing necessary public services in the service area and the costs to update,
improve, expand, correct or replace those necessary public services to meet existing needs and
usage and stricter safety, efficiency, environmental or regulatory standards, which shall be
prepared by qualified professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.
• An analysis of the total capacity, the level of current usage and commitments for usage of capacity
of the existing necessary public services, which shall be prepared by qualified professionals
licensed in this state, as applicable.
• A description of all or the parts of the necessary public services or facility expansions and their
costs necessitated by and attributable to development in the service area based on the approved
Land Use Assumptions, including a forecast of the costs of infrastructure, improvements, real
property, financing, engineering and architectural services, which shall be prepared by qualified
professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.
• A table establishing the specific level or quantity of use, consumption, generation or discharge of
a service unit for each category of necessary public services or facility expansions and an
equivalency or conversion table establishing the ratio of a service unit to various types of land
uses, including residential, commercial and industrial.
• The total number of projected service units necessitated by and attributable to new development
in the service area based on the approved Land Use Assumptions and calculated pursuant to
generally accepted engineering and planning criteria.
• The projected demand for necessary public services or facility expansions required by new service
units for a period not to exceed 10 years.
• A forecast of revenues generated by new service units other than development fees, which shall
include estimated state-shared revenue, highway users revenue, federal revenue, ad valorem
property taxes, construction contracting or similar excise taxes and the capital recovery portion
of utility fees attributable to development based on the approved Land Use Assumptions and a
plan to include these contributions in determining the extent of the burden imposed by the
development.
Qualified Professionals
The IIP must be developed by qualified professionals using generally accepted engineering and planning
practices. A qualified professional is defined as “a professional engineer, surveyor, financial analyst or
planner providing services within the scope of the person’s license, education, or experience.” TischlerBise
is a fiscal, economic, and planning consulting firm specializing in the cost of growth services and is licensed
to do business in Arizona. Our services include development fees, fiscal impact analysis, infrastructure
financing analyses, user fee/cost of service studies, capital improvement plans, and fiscal software.
TischlerBise has prepared over 900 development fee studies over the past 40 years for local governments
across the United States.

Conceptual Development Fee Calculation
In contrast to project-level improvements, development fees fund growth-related infrastructure that will
benefit multiple development projects, or the entire service area (usually referred to as system
improvements). The first step is to determine an appropriate demand indicator for the particular type of
infrastructure. The demand indicator measures the number of service units for each unit of development.
For example, an appropriate indicator of the demand for parks is population growth and the increase in
population can be estimated from the average number of persons per housing unit. The second step in
the development fee formula is to determine infrastructure improvement units per service unit, typically
called Level-of-Service standards, sometimes referred to as LOS. In keeping with the park example, a
common LOS standard is improved park acres per thousand people. The third step in the development
fee formula is the cost of various infrastructure units. To complete the park example, this part of the
formula would establish a cost per acre for land acquisition and/ or park improvements.
Evaluation of Offsets
Regardless of the methodology, a consideration of offsets is integral to the development of a legally
defensible development fee. There are two types of offsets that should be addressed in development fee
studies and ordinances. The first is a revenue offset due to possible double payment situations, which
could occur when other revenues may contribute to the capital costs of infrastructure covered by the
development fee. This type of offset is integrated into the fee calculation, thus reducing the fee amount.
The second is a site-specific credit or developer reimbursement for dedication of land or construction of
system improvements. This type of credit is addressed in the administration and implementation of the
development fee program. For ease of administration, TischlerBise normally recommends developer
reimbursements for system improvements.

DEVELOPMENT FEE REPORT
METHODOLOGY
Development fees for the necessary public services made necessary by new development must be based
on the same level-of-service provided to existing development in the service area. There are three basic
methodologies used to calculate development fees. They examine the past, present, and future status of
infrastructure. The objective of evaluating these different methodologies is to determine the best
measure of the demand created by new development for additional infrastructure capacity. Each method
has advantages and disadvantages in a particular situation and can be used simultaneously for different
cost components. Additionally, development fees for public services can also include the cost of
professional services for preparing IIP’s and the related Development Fee report.
Reduced to its simplest terms, the process of calculating development fees involves two main steps: (1)
determining the cost of development-related capital improvements and (2) allocating those costs
equitably to various types of development. In practice, though, the calculation of development fees can
become quite complicated because of the many variables involved in defining the relationship between
development and the need for facilities within the designated service area. The following paragraphs
discuss basic methods for calculating development fees and how those methods can be applied.
• Cost Recovery (past improvements) - The rationale for recoupment, often called cost recovery, is
that new development is paying for its share of the useful life and remaining capacity of facilities
already built, or land already purchased, from which new growth will benefit. This methodology
is often used for utility systems that must provide adequate capacity before new development
can take place.
• Incremental Expansion (concurrent improvements) - The incremental expansion method
documents current level-of-service standards for each type of public facility, using both
quantitative and qualitative measures. This approach assumes there are no existing infrastructure
deficiencies or surplus capacity in infrastructure. New development is only paying its
proportionate share for growth-related infrastructure. Revenue will be used to expand or provide
additional facilities, as needed, to accommodate new development. An incremental expansion
cost method is best suited for public facilities that will be expanded in regular increments to keep
pace with development.
• Plan-Based (future improvements) - The plan-based method allocates costs for a specified set of
improvements to a specified amount of development. Improvements are typically identified in a
long-range facility plan and development potential is identified by a land use plan. There are two
basic options for determining the cost per demand unit: (1) total cost of a public facility can be
divided by total demand units (average cost), or (2) the growth-share of the public facility cost
can be divided by the net increase in demand units over the planning timeframe (marginal cost).
A summary is provided in Figure 1 showing the methodology for each of the facility and fee study types,
as well as the service area and cost allocation method used to develop the IIP and calculate the
development fees.

A Note on Rounding
A note on rounding: Calculations throughout this report are based on an analysis conducted using Excel
software. Most results are discussed in the report using two, three, and four-digit places, which represent
rounded figures. However, the analysis itself uses figures carried to their ultimate decimal places;
therefore, the sums and products generated in the analysis may not equal the sum or product if the reader
replicates the calculation with the factors shown in the report (due to the rounding of figures shown, not
in the analysis).
SERVICE AREA
ARS 9-63.05 defines “service area” as follows:
Any specified area within the boundaries of a municipality in which development will be served by
necessary public services or facility expansions and within which a substantial nexus exists
between the necessary public services or facility expansions and the development being served as
prescribed in the infrastructure improvements plan.

Figure 2: Current Development Fee Service Area
Much of the land in Oro Valley is characterized by a built environment of dispersed, detached single family
housing, transected by arterial roadways leading to concentrated nodes of businesses, institutions and
commercial development with, largely single-family lots spread out to the northern edges. As a result of
the development pattern, the Town relies on a variety of revenues and funding mechanisms to pay for
public infrastructure and facilities which service residents. Oro Valley has embraced numerous policies
and plans to guide future development, most notably the 2016 Your Voice, Our Future General Plan aimed
at encouraging new development as much as possible to pay the proportional share of growth-related
infrastructure improvements for area roads, parks, police, fire and public facilities. In light of the plan-
specific policies outlined by the Town along with discussions with Town staff regarding anticipated
development patterns and infrastructure needs, TischlerBise is recommending no changes to the
Development Fee Service Area as displayed in Figure 2.
The single Development Fee Service Area is supported first and foremost because, parks and recreation,
police, and roadway infrastructure are intended to serve the entire Town with a standard level-of-service
as opposed to bounded districts or subareas. As an example, referring to Figure 2, a new residential
development in the northeast area is still likely to also utilize regional parks or police facilities located
throughout Town. Furthermore, many services such as police and roadway infrastructure react to
deployment changes over time based on migration patterns of people and are not necessarily restricted
to specific geographic sub-zones. As such, TischlerBise is recommending all fees for these categories be
assessed as a Townwide fee.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT FEES
Oro Valley’s current development fees are shown below in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7. Demand for non-utility
services (transportation, parks & recreation and police) is driven by the intensity of the use on those
particular services; therefore, fees are assessed based on development type – Residential or Non-
Residential; current non-utility fees are shown in Figure 4. The Town of Oro Valley assess Water Facilities
development fees for water based on meter type — and include the following classifications: Single Family
Residential, Multifamily Residential, Commercial and Irrigation. Each of these categories include
independent impact fee charges attributed to Alternative Water Resources Development Impact Fee
(AWRDIF), which is related to alternative water resource projects such as Central Arizona Project and the
Potable Water System Development Impact Fee (PWSDIF). Current Water Facilities fees are shown in
Figure 5, 6 and 7.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FEES
The proposed fees are based on a policy-level concept that development fees should fund 100 percent of
growth-related infrastructure, therefore the fees shown below represent the maximum allowable fees.
Oro Valley may adopt fees that are less than the amounts shown; however, a reduction in development
fee revenue will necessitate an increase in other revenues, a decrease in planned capital improvements
and/or a decrease in Oro Valley’s level-of-service standards. All costs in the Development Fee Report are
in current dollars with no assumed inflation rate over time. If cost estimates change significantly over
time, development fees should be recalibrated.
Proposed development fees are shown below in Figures 8, 9 and 10. All tables show the proposed fee,
the current fee and the total dollar change. Proposed utility development fees shown in Figure 8 are
assessed per meter based on capacity ratios referenced from the American Water Works Association
Manual of Water Supply Practices and apply a Demand Adjustment Factor calculated from 2017-2018
consumption data per nonresidential and irrigation meter classifications. Utilization of these capacity
ratios replicate current fee methodologies and yield the Town a consistent comparison and approach.
Further, and at the direction of staff, the Water Facilities development fees have been consolidated into
a single fee. The relationship between infrastructure funded with current PWSDIF revenue and

infrastructure funded with AWRDIF revenue are very similar. Both are potable water resource driven and
both are required to meet the demands of growth. As such, the infrastructure needs are being combined
into one IIP resulting in the creation of one new development impact fee to replace the two existing
impact fees. The new development fee will be known as the Water Facilities development fee. The Water
Facilities development fee is intended to fund all types of water resources, the infrastructure to deliver
those resources and any related debt including CAP capital infrastructure repayment costs.
All other non-utility services (transportation, parks & recreation, police) are shown in Figures 9 and 10
based on residential or nonresidential development type. Development fees for residential development
are assessed per dwelling unit, based on the type of unit. Nonresidential development fees are assessed
per 1,000 square feet of floor area.

PARKS AND RECREATION AL FACILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT
PLAN
ARS § 9-463.05 (T)(7)(g) defines the facilities and assets that can be included in the Parks and Recreational
Facilities IIP:
“Neighborhood parks and recreational facilities on real property up to thirty acres in area, or parks
and recreational facilities larger than thirty acres if the facilities provide a direct benefit to the
development. Park and recreational facilities do not include vehicles, equipment or that portion of
any facility that is used for amusement parks, aquariums, aquatic centers, auditoriums, arenas,
arts and cultural facilities, bandstand and orchestra facilities, bathhouses, boathouses,
clubhouses, community centers greater than three thousand square feet in floor area,
environmental education centers, equestrian facilities, golf course facilities, greenhouses, lakes,
museums, theme parks, water reclamation or riparian areas, wetlands, zoo facilities or similar
recreational facilities, but may include swimming pools.”
The Parks and Recreational Facilities IIP includes components for park amenities, park land improvements
and the cost of professional services for preparing the Parks and Recreational Facilities IIP and related
Development Fee report. An incremental expansion methodology is used for park amenities and park land
improvement, and a plan-based methodology is used for the Development Fee Report.
Service Area
The Town of Oro Valley plans to provide a uniform level-of-service and equal access to parks and
recreational facilities within the Town limits. The parks and recreation programs are structured and
provided to make full use of Oro Valley’s total inventory of facilities. Therefore, the recommended service
area for the Parks and Recreational Facilities IIP is Townwide.
Proportionate Share
ARS § 9-463.05 (B)(3) states that the development fee shall not exceed a proportionate share of the cost
of necessary public services needed to accommodate new development. TischlerBise recommends
daytime population as a reasonable indicator of the potential demand for Parks and Recreational Facilities
from residential and nonresidential development. According to the U.S. Census Bureau web application
OnTheMap, there were 8,201 inflow commuters in 2015, which is the number of persons who work in
Oro Valley but live outside the Town. OnTheMap is a web-based mapping and reporting application that
shows where workers are employed and where they live. It describes geographic patterns of jobs by their
employment locations and residential locations as well as the connections between the two locations.
OnTheMap was developed through a unique partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau and its Local
Employment Dynamics (LED) partner states. OnTheMap data is used, as shown in Figure PR1, to derive
Functional Population shares for Oro Valley. The estimated Town population in 2015 from PAG is
estimated at 42,259. The study uses 2015 data because this the most recent year available for
inflow/outflow data. Therefore, it is compared to the population estimate for the corresponding year.
As shown in Figure PR1, the proportionate share is based on cumulative impact days per year. Oro Valley
residents were allocated 365 days per year, for a total of 15,424,535 impact days. Inflow commuters were
allocated 4 days per week, and 50 weeks per year, for a total of 1,640,200 impact days per year. Adding
Land Use Assumptions, IIP and Development Fee Report Town of Oro Valley, Arizona
14
the respective impact days of residents and inflow commuters (shown below in days) yields the total
annual impact days for both residential and nonresidential categories. Residential’s proportionate share
of the total impact hours is 90%, while the nonresidential share is 10%.
Figure PR1: Daytime Population in 2015
RATIO OF SERVICE UNITS TO DEVELOPMENT UNITS
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(4) requires:
“A table establishing the specific level or quantity of use, consumption, generation or discharge of
a service unit for each category of necessary public services or facility expansions and an
equivalency or conversion table establishing the ratio of a service unit to various types of land
uses, including residential, commercial and industrial.”
Figure PR2 displays the demand indicators for residential and nonresidential land uses. For residential
development, the table displays the persons per housing unit for single-family (or single unit) and
multifamily units. For nonresidential development, the table displays the number of employees per
thousand square feet for four different types of nonresidential development.

ANALYSIS OF CAPACITY, USAGE, AND COSTS OF EXISTING PUBLIC SERVICES
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(1) requires:
“A description of the existing necessary public services in the service area and the costs to upgrade,
update, improve, expand, correct or replace those necessary public services to meet existing needs
and usage and stricter safety, efficiency, environmental or regulatory standards, which shall be
prepared by qualified professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.”
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(2) requires:
“An analysis of the total capacity, the level of current usage and commitments for usage of
capacity of the existing necessary public services, which shall be prepared by qualified
professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.”
Park Land Improvements – Incremental Expansion
The summary of park land in Oro Valley is displayed in Figure PR3. Town-owned golf courses, regional
parks, retention ponds, and conservation parks were excluded from the inventory. Oro Valley has a total
of 389 acres of park land. The level-of-service for residential development is 0.0020 acres per resident,
which is found by multiplying the total number of improved acres (99) by the residential proportionate
share (90%) and dividing this total by the 2018 population (45,184). The nonresidential level-of-service is
0.009 developed acres per job, which is found by multiplying the total number of improved acres (99) by
the nonresidential proportionate share (10%) and dividing this total by the number of jobs in 2018
(10,642). According to information provided by Town staff, the average cost to develop an acre of park
land is $68,769. The cost per demand unit is determined by multiplying the level-of-service standard by
the average development cost per acre. This results in a cost per person of $135.47 (0.0020 x $68,769)
and $63.96 per job (0.0009 x $68,769).
Because the Town of Oro Valley does not anticipate any substantial neighborhood or community park
land purchases over the next 10 years (or, developers will be asked to dedicate a reasonable portion of
land to the Town for development as park land), the cost of additional park land acquisition is not
recommended for inclusion in the Development Fee Report and is excluded from the Town’s
development fee calculations. Park land improvements—including but not limited to elements such as
irrigation, landscaping, lighting or turf —however are included in the Fee with the expectation that the
Town will maintain the current level-of-service through incremental improvements on existing but
unimproved park land.

Figure PR3: Park Land Inventory and Level-of-Service Standards
Park Amenities and Improvements – Incremental Expansion
The inventory summary of Oro Valley’s park amenities is displayed in Figure PR4. Oro Valley parks have
87 amenities that have a total replacement cost of approximately $18.3 million. Dividing the total
replacement cost by the total number of amenities yields an average cost per improvement of $210,936.
The current residential level-of-service is 0.00173 amenities per resident, which was obtained by
multiplying the 87 amenities by the residential proportionate share (90%) and dividing this amount by the
current population (45,184). Similarly, the nonresidential level-of-service is 0.0082 units per job (90 x 10%
x 10,642). Multiplying the average cost per amenity ($210,936) by the residential and nonresidential
levels-of-service results in a cost per person of $364.92 and $172.97 per job. Note that while the LOS
Standards shown are rounded to the fifth decimal place, the analysis does not round these figures.
Therefore, the cost analysis calculations may not produce the same result if the reader replicates the
calculations using the factors shown (due to the rounding of figures shown, not in the analysis).

Development Fee Report – Plan-Based
The cost to prepare the Parks and Recreational Development Fees and IIP totals $15,268. Oro Valley plans
to update its report every five years. Based on this cost, proportionate share, and five-year projections of
new development from the Land Use Assumptions document, the cost per person is $4.39 and the cost
per job is $1.71.
Figure PR5: Development Fee Report Cost Allocation
PROJECTED DEMAND FOR SERVICES AND COSTS
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(5) requires:
“The total number of projected service units necessitated by and attributable to new development
in the service area based on the approved land use assumptions and calculated pursuant to
generally accepted engineering and planning criteria.”
As shown in Figure PR6 and PR7, the Land Use Assumptions projects an additional 5,991 persons and
1,831 jobs over the next 10 years.
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(6) requires:
“The projected demand for necessary public services or facility expansions required by new service
units for a period not to exceed ten years.”
These projected service units are multiplied by the current levels-of-service for the IIP components shown
in Figure PR6 and PR7. New development will demand an additional 13 acres of improved park land.
The park improvements totals demanded by new development multiplied by the respective costs suggests
the Town will need to spend approximately $927,694 on new park land improvements to accommodate
projected demand.

Required Offsets
An offset is not necessary for the Parks and Recreational Facilities development fees because 10-year
growth costs exceed the amount of revenue that is projected to be generated by development fees
according to the Land Use Assumptions, as shown in Figure PR10.
Proposed Parks and Recreational Facilities Development Fees
Infrastructure standards and cost factors for Parks and Recreational Facilities, including park amenities,
park land improvements and pool facilities, and the professional services cost for the IIP and Development
Fee Report are summarized at the top of Figure PR9. Updated development fees for Parks and
Recreational Facilities are shown in the column with green shading alongside the current development
fees, and the net change is shown in the far-right column. The proposed development fees for parks and
recreation increased across all development types from the current fee amounts.

Parks and Recreational Facilities Development Fee Revenue
The top of Figure PR10 summarizes the growth-related cost of infrastructure in Oro Valley over the next
10 years (approximately $3.4 million for Parks and Recreational Facilities). Oro Valley should receive
approximately $3.2 million in Parks and Recreational Facilities development fee revenue over the next 10
years if actual development matches the Land Use Assumptions. This yields a minor net deficit of
approximately $209,000.

POLICE FACILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PLAN
ARS § 9-463.05 (T)(7)(f) defines the facilities and assets that can be included in the Police Facilities IIP:
“Fire and police facilities, including all appurtenances, equipment and vehicles. Fire and police
facilities do not include a facility or portion of a facility that is used to replace services that were
once provided elsewhere in the municipality, vehicles and equipment used to provide
administrative services, helicopters or airplanes or a facility that is used for training firefighters or
officers from more than one station or substation.”
The Police Facilities IIP and Development Fees includes components for police stations, police vehicles,
and the cost of professional services for preparing the Police Facilities IIP and related Development Fee
Report. Three different methodologies are utilized across the Police IIP. A cost recovery methodology is
used for police facilities, an incremental approach is utilized for vehicles, and a plan-based methodology
is used for the Development Fee Report.
Service Area
The Town of Oro Valley’s Police Department strives to provide a uniform response time Townwide.
Therefore, a Townwide service area is recommended for the Police Facilities IIP.
Proportionate Share
ARS § 9-463.05 (B)(3) states that the development fee shall not exceed a proportionate share of the cost
of necessary public services needed to accommodate new development. TischlerBise recommends
functional population to allocate the cost of police facilities to residential and nonresidential
development. Functional population is similar to what the U.S. Census Bureau calls "daytime population,"
by accounting for people living and working in a jurisdiction, but also considers commuting patterns and
time spent at home and at nonresidential locations. OnTheMap is a web-based mapping and reporting
application that shows where workers are employed and where they live. It describes geographic patterns
of jobs by their employment locations and residential locations as well as the connections between the
two locations. OnTheMap was developed through a unique partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau
and its Local Employment Dynamics (LED) partner states. OnTheMap data is used, as shown in Figure P1,
to derive Functional Population shares for Oro Valley.
Residents that do not work are assigned 20 hours per day to residential development and 4 hours per day
to nonresidential development (annualized averages). Residents that work in Oro Valley are assigned 14
hours to residential development and 10 hours to nonresidential development. Residents that work
outside Oro Valley are assigned 14 hours to residential development. Inflow commuters are assigned 10
hours to nonresidential development. Based on 2015 functional population data for Oro Valley, the cost
allocation for residential development is 78 percent while nonresidential development accounts for 22
percent of the demand for police facilities.

Figure P1: Police Proportionate Share
RATIO OF SERVICE UNITS TO DEVELOPMENT UNITS
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(4) requires:
“A table establishing the specific level or quantity of use, consumption, generation or discharge of
a service unit for each category of necessary public services or facility expansions and an
equivalency or conversion table establishing the ratio of a service unit to various types of land
uses, including residential, commercial/retail, industrial, and office/other services.”
Figure P2 displays the ratio of service units to various types of land uses for residential and nonresidential
development. The residential development table displays the persons per housing unit for single-family
(or single unit) and multifamily units.
TischlerBise recommends using nonresidential vehicle trips as the best demand indicator for police
facilities and vehicles. Trip generation rates are used for nonresidential development because vehicle trips
are highest for commercial/retail developments, such as shopping centers, and lowest for industrial
development. Office and institutional trip rates fall between the other two categories. This ranking of trip
rates is consistent with the relative demand for police from nonresidential development. Other possible
nonresidential demand indicators, such as employment or floor area, will not accurately reflect the

demand for service. For example, if employees per thousand square feet were used as the demand
indicator, police development fees would be too high for office and institutional development because
offices typically have more employees per 1,000 square feet than retail uses.
Trip generation rates per average weekday are from the reference book Trip Generation published by the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE 10th Edition 2017). A vehicle trip end represents a vehicle either
entering or exiting a development (as if a traffic counter were placed across a driveway). To calculate
development fees, trip generation rates require an adjustment factor to avoid double counting each trip
at both the origin and destination points. Therefore, the basic trip adjustment factor is 50%.
For commercial and institutional development, the trip adjustment factor is less than 50% because retail
development and some services attract vehicles as they pass by on arterial and collector roads. For
example, when someone stops at a convenience store on the way home from work, the convenience store
is not the primary destination. For the average shopping center, the ITE data indicates that 34% of the
vehicles that enter are passing by on their way to some other primary destination. In other words, 34% of
trips to the average shopping center are already being counted because the shopping center is not their
final destination, and therefore these trips must be discounted. The remaining 66% of attraction trips have
the commercial site as their primary destination. Because attraction trips are half of all trips, the trip
adjustment factor is 66% multiplied by 50%, or approximately 33% of the vehicle trips. These factors are
shown to derive inbound vehicle trips for each type of nonresidential land use.
The ratio of service unit to development unit for each type of nonresidential development is calculated
by multiplying the ITE trip generation rate by the trip rate adjustment factor to avoid double-counting
trips, as discussed above. By way of example, the service unit to development unit ratio for a Commercial
development is found by multiplying the ITE trip generation rate of 37.75 trips (per 1,000 square feet) by
the trip rate adjustment factor of 33%, yielding an adjusted trip rate of 12.46 trips per 1,000 square feet.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume a 100,000 square foot commercial development would generate
1,246 primary destination trips per average weekday.

Police Facilities – Cost Recovery
The Police Department recently opened a new Police Station, totaling 24,000 square feet of floor area.
Prior to the opening of this facility, the Police Department was housed in a 15,165 square foot facility. As
shown in Figure P3, the construction of this new station represents a substantial increase to the Town’s
level-of-service. For example, the level-of-service per person in 2018 is 0.262 square feet per person. In
2019, with the construction of the new stations, the level-of-service person is 0.408 square feet per
person. To ensure that new development is not correcting an existing deficiency, TischlerBise is utilizing a
cost recovery method based on the total projected service units in 2033, the last year of debt service. As
shown in Figure P3, the level-of-service per person is projected to be 0.349 square feet in 2033, an

increase of 25% over the current level-of-service. The level-of-service per nonresidential vehicle trip is
projected to be 0.129 in 2033, an increase of 20% over the current level-of-service.
Figure P3: Police Facilities and Level-of-Service Analysis
As shown in Figure P4, the total facility cost (including principal and interest) totaled $2,549,274. The cost
recovery portion of the Police Facilities development fee will be used to cover new development’s share
of Police Station debt service payments. When this cost is spread over the projected service unit
(population and nonresidential vehicle trips) in 2033 (the year the debt obligation is retired), the cost per
person is $37.04 and the cost per nonresidential trip is $13.75. Based on the land use assumptions, it is
projected that new development will generate development fee revenue of approximately $298,000 over
the next 10 years.

Figure P5. The Oro Valley Police Department has an inventory of 129 vehicles, which have a total
estimated replacement cost of $6 million. Dividing the total cost by the total number of units yields an
average cost per unit of $46,563. The level-of-service standards and cost analysis for police vehicles are
continued on the following page. The current residential level-of-service is 0.0022 units per resident,
which was obtained by multiplying the 129 units by the residential proportionate share (78%) and dividing
this amount by the current population (45,184). Similarly, the nonresidential level-of-service is 0.0009
units per vehicle trip. Multiplying the average cost per unit ($46,563) by the residential and nonresidential
levels-of-service results in a cost per person of $102.44 and $41.91 per vehicle trip. Note that while the
LOS Standards shown are rounded to the fifth decimal place, the analysis does not round these figures.
Therefore, the cost analysis calculations may not produce the same result if the reader replicates the
calculations using the factors shown (due to the rounding of figures shown, not in the analysis).

Development Fee Report – Plan-Based
The cost to prepare the Police Facilities IIP and related Development Fee Report totals $15,268. Oro Valley
plans to update its report every five years. Based on this cost, proportionate share, and five-year
projections of new residential and nonresidential development from the Land Use Assumptions
document, the cost per person is $3.80 and the cost per nonresidential trip is $1.05.

POLICE FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT FEES
Required Offsets
The Town of Oro Valley will fund the new Police Station with a bond that will be retired using sales tax.
Since new development will generate future sales tax that may be used to retire debt, TischlerBise has
calculated an offset for the Police Facilities development fee. As discussed previously, the new Police
Station will elevate the level-of-service for station space within the Town. The cost per service unit for the
station component was determined based on the projected 2033 demand base, which would represent a
25% increase in the level-of-service for residential development and a 20% increase for nonresidential
development. To determine the offset for future principal payments, TischlerBise obtained the
amortization schedule for this debt. Given the fact this new facility results in an increase in the level-of-
service, TischlerBise apportioned the share of future principal payments to residential and nonresidential
development that is used to elevate the existing level-of-service (discussed above) and calculated a net
present value of the offset. For example, the projected principal payment in FY2021-22 is $121,500. This
payment is multiplied the Police Facilities proportionate share factors (shown in Figure P1) to determine
the residential and nonresidential shares, which is then multiplied further by the projected level-of-service
increase (25% for residential development and 20% for nonresidential development). These residential
and nonresidential shares are then divided by the residential and nonresidential service units to
determine the appropriate offset. As shown in Figure P9, projected future principal payments from
residential development that is directed toward the level-of-service increase is $396,825. Annual principal
payments are discounted using a net present value formula based on the bond interest rate of 3.02%. The
nonresidential share is $89,540. This results in offset per person of $7.89 and $2.42 per nonresidential
vehicle trip.

Proposed Police Facilities Development Fees
The proposed Police development fees are shown in Figure P10. Cost factors for police facilities, vehicles
and equipment, and professional services are summarized at the top of the figure. The residential
development fees are calculated by multiplying the $135.39 cost per person by the service unit ratios
(persons per housing unit) for each housing type. Nonresidential development fees are calculated by
multiplying the $54.28 per vehicle trip by the average weekday vehicle trips per 1,000 square feet ratios
and the trip adjustment factors for each development type. Proposed development fees for Police
increased for most all nonresidential development type and decrease slightly for residential from the
current fees.

Figure P10: Proposed Police Facilities Development Fees
FORECAST OF REVENUES
Appendix B contains the forecast of revenues required by Arizona’s Enabling Legislation.
Development Fee Revenues for Police Facilities and Vehicles
Revenue projections shown below assume implementation of the proposed Police development fees and
that development over the next 10 years is consistent with the Land Use Assumptions. To the extent the
rate of development either accelerates or slows down, there will be a corresponding change in the
development fee revenue. As shown in Figure P11, the 10-year costs of police facilities and vehicles total
approximately $2.0 million, and approximately $1.05 million will be collected from development fees. The
result is a deficit of approximately $1.0 million. This deficit is due to the share of costs for the new Police
Station that is attributable to the existing development base.

STREET FACILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PLAN
ARS § 9-463.05 (T)(7)(e) defines the facilities and assets that can be included in the Street Facilities IIP:
“Street facilities located in the service area, including arterial or collector streets or roads that
have been designated on an officially adopted plan of the municipality, traffic signals and rights-
of-way and improvements thereon.”
The Street Facilities IIP includes components for arterial street improvements and the cost of professional
services for preparing the Street Facilities IIP and related Development Fee Report. An incremental
expansion methodology is used for arterial and related street improvements, and a plan-based
methodology is used for the Development Fee Report.
Service Area
The service area for the Street Facilities IIP is Townwide, however due to the probability of incremental
development outside existing Town limits, Oro Valley may want to enter into development/annexation
agreements, or use some other instrument with prospective developers working outside established
Town limits which may include payments to the Town to help cover the cost of street infrastructure
improvements and/or mitigation measures that are determined to be necessary.
METHODOLOGY
Street Facilities development fees use an incremental expansion methodology and allocate capital costs
to residential and nonresidential development based on vehicle miles of travel using average weekday
vehicle trips and average trip lengths. This methodology allows Oro Valley to maintain the current level-
of-service standard as growth occurs. Development fee revenue collected using this methodology may
not be used to replace or rehabilitate existing improvements.
Proportionate Share
ARS § 9-463.05 (B)(3) states that the development fee shall not exceed a proportionate share of the cost
of necessary public services needed to provide necessary public services to the development. Trip length,
trip generation rates and trip adjustment factors are used to determine the proportionate impact of
residential, commercial, office, and industrial land uses on the Town’s street network.
RATIO OF SERVICE UNITS TO DEVELOPMENT UNITS
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(4) requires:
“A table establishing the specific level or quantity of use, consumption, generation or discharge of
a service unit for each category of necessary public services or facility expansions and an
equivalency or conversion table establishing the ratio of a service unit to various types of land
uses, including residential, commercial and industrial.”
Land Use Assumptions, IIP and Development Fee Report Town of Oro Valley, Arizona
37
Service Units
The appropriate service unit for the Street Facilities development fees is vehicle miles of travel (VMT).
VMT creates the link between supply (roadway capacity) and demand (traffic generated by new
development). Components used to determine VMT include: trip generation rates, adjustments for
commuting patterns and pass-by trips, and trip length weighting factors, are discussed further in this
section.
Figure S1: Summary of Service Units
Trip Generation Rates
For nonresidential development, the trip generation rates are from the 10th edition of the reference book
Trip Generation published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (2017). A vehicle trip end
represents a vehicle either entering or exiting a development (as if a traffic counter were placed across a
driveway). As an alternative to using the national average trip generation rate for residential
development, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publishes regression curve formulas that may
be used to derive custom trip generation rates using local demographic data. This is explained in more
detail in Appendix A: Land Use Assumptions.
Adjustments for Commuting Patterns and Pass-By Trips
To calculate Street Facilities Development Fees, trip generation rates require an adjustment factor to
avoid double counting each trip at both the origin and destination points. Therefore, the basic trip
adjustment factor is 50%. As discussed further below, the development fee methodology includes
additional adjustments to make the fees proportionate to the infrastructure demand for particular types
of development.
Residential development has a larger trip adjustment factor of 63% to account for commuters leaving Oro
Valley for work. According to the 2009 National Household Travel Survey, weekday work trips are typically
31% of production trips (i.e., all out-bound trips, which are 50% of all trips). As shown in Figure S2, the
Census Bureau’s web application OnTheMap indicates that 87% of resident workers traveled outside the
Town for work in 2015. In combination, these factors (0.31 X 0.50 X 0.87 = .13) support the additional 13%
allocation of trips to residential development.

Figure S2: Inflow/Outflow Analysis
For commercial development, the trip adjustment factor is less than 50% because retail development and
some services attract vehicles as they pass by on arterial and collector roads. For example, when someone
stops at a convenience store on the way home from work, the convenience store is not the primary
destination. For the average shopping center, the ITE data indicates that 34% of the vehicles that enter
are passing by on their way to some other primary destination. The remaining 66% of attraction trips have
the commercial site as their primary destination. Because attraction trips are half of all trips, the trip
adjustment factor is 66% multiplied by 50%, or approximately 33% of the trips. These factors are shown
to derive inbound vehicle trips for each type of nonresidential land use.
ANALYSIS OF CAPACITY, USAGE, AND COSTS OF EXISTING PUBLIC SERVICES
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(1) requires:
“A description of the existing necessary public services in the service area and the costs to upgrade,
update, improve, expand, correct or replace those necessary public services to meet existing needs
and usage and stricter safety, efficiency, environmental or regulatory standards, which shall be
prepared by qualified professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.”
As shown in Appendix C, the Town of Oro Valley provided an inventory of arterial road segments, including
segment lengths, lane quantities, and annual average daily traffic (AADT) counts. Multiplying each
segment’s length by the number of lanes yields the number of lane miles per segment. The Town’s arterial
road network consists of 118.5 lane miles. By multiplying the traffic counts and segment lengths, the daily
vehicle miles of travel (VMT) is obtained. The sum of each arterial road segment’s VMT is 383,580.

2. According to the National Household Travel Survey (2009)*, published in December 2011 (see
Table 30), home-based work trips are typically 30.99 percent of “production” trips, in other words,
out-bound trips (which are 50 percent of all trip ends). Also, LED OnTheMap data from 2015
indicate that 87 percent of Oro Valley workers travel outside the town for work. In combination,
these factors (0.3099 x 0.50 x 0.87 = 0.1347) account for 13 percent of additional production
trips. The total adjustment factor for residential includes attraction trips (50 percent of trip ends)
plus the journey-to-work commuting adjustment (13 percent of production trips) for a total of 63
percent.

Figure S3 documents the capacity of Oro Valley’s arterial road network. According to Town staff, the
Town’s arterial streets operate at a Level-of-Service A, and the average number of lanes for arterials is
roughly 4 lanes. A mile segment of a 4-lane arterial street with a Level-of-Service A should maintain a daily
volume of 12,600 vehicles, or 3,150 vehicles per lane mile over a 24-hour period. Given the incremental
expansion methodology used in this analysis, and the Town’s current level-of-service (LOS A), the baseline
VMC/VMT ratio for any incremental expansion method is 1.0 (i.e., VMC=VMT).
Figure S3: Arterial Road Network Capacity and Usage
Vehicle Trips
Figure S4 shows the calculation of vehicle trips generated by existing development. When the average
weekday VTE and Trip Adjustment percentages (shown in Figure S1) are multiplied by the development
unit quantities for Oro Valley from the Land Use Assumption in Appendix A (housing units and
nonresidential KSF), the total number of vehicle trips generated by existing development is determined.
As shown in Figure S4, this totals 135,631 adjusted vehicle trips.
Figure S4: Vehicle Trips
Average Trip Length
For the incremental expansion methodology, it is necessary to determine the average trip length on the
Town’s arterial network. To do this, national trip generation rates and average trip lengths from the 2017
National Household Travel Survey are used to determine expected VMT on the Town’s transportation
network.

Figure S5: National Average Trip Lengths
The national average trip length needs to be adjusted to reflect actual local demand on the Town’s arterial
network. To do this, TischlerBise first determines expected demand (VMT) on the Town’s complete
transportation network using the above national travel demand characteristics.
Average daily trips from existing development in each land use category are multiplied by the applicable
average trip lengths.
Figure S6. Expected VMT in the Town of Oro Valley
Because expected VMT reflects anticipated travel demand from Town development on the entire roadway
system, it is therefore higher than actual VMT on the arterial system in the Town. To calibrate demand on
the arterial system, expected travel demand is compared to actual VMT obtained from the Town of Oro
Valley. The ratio between actual and expected VMT provides a local adjustment factor that can be applied
to national average trip lengths by type of land use. The local adjustment factor is shown in Figure S7.

A cost per vehicle mile of capacity (VMC) is calculated based on the average cost per lane mile of $429,245
and the average lane capacity of 3,150 average daily vehicle trips (per 1 lane mile). This results in a $136.27
cost per VMC. The incremental expansion methodology assumes the ratio of VMC to VMT is 1, therefore
the cost per VMT is also $136.27.

Projected development in Oro Valley over the next 10 years, and the corresponding need for additional
lane miles is shown in Figure S12. Trip generation rates and trip adjustment factors convert project
development into average weekday vehicle trips. New development in Oro Valley will generate 18,599
trips.
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(6) requires:
“The projected demand for necessary public services or facility expansions required by new service
units for a period not to exceed ten years.”
The travel demand model inputs above (Figure S9) are used to derive level-of-service in Vehicle Miles of
Travel and future needs of lane miles. A Vehicle Mile of Travel (VMT) is a measurement unit equal to one
vehicle traveling one mile. As shown in Figure S12, based on the increase in vehicle miles of travel
(51,323), the Town of Oro Valley would need to construct an additional 16.3 lane miles of arterials to
accommodate projected development over the next 10 years in order to maintain current level-of-service.
Figure S12: Projected Travel Demand Model
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(3) requires:
“A description of all or the parts of the necessary public services or facility expansions and their
costs necessitated by and attributable to development in the service area based on the approved
land use assumptions, including a forecast of the costs of infrastructure, improvements, real
property, financing, engineering and architectural services, which shall be prepared by qualified
professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.”
Multiplying the increase in number of lane miles (16.3) by the cost per lane mile from Figure S10
($429,245) results in a 10-year cost of approximately $6.99 million attributed to arterial lane miles.
However, the Town of Oro Valley only expects plans to build approximately 14.25 lane and intersections,
at a net cost of $6.1 million, which yields an adjusted cost per VMT of $119.18.

The cost to prepare the Street Facilities IIP and Development Fee Report totals $15,268. Oro Valley plans
to update its report every five years. Based on this cost, proportionate share, and five-year projections of
new residential and nonresidential development from the Land Use Assumptions document, the cost is
$0.61 per vehicle mile of travel.
Figure S14: Development Fee Report Cost Allocation
STREET FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT FEES
Required Offsets
The Arizona Development Impact Fee Act requires consideration of any ‘excess” construction sales tax
that may be used to fund growth-related capital facilities. The Town has a construction sales tax rate of 4
percent, of which 1.5% is in excess of the Town’s regular sales tax rate of 2.5%. However, the Town
accounts for all sales tax within its General Fund, so there is no dedicated portion directed towards
growth-related capital improvements. However, the Town does have a policy of allocating a minimum of
5% of the Town’s estimated excise tax collections to fund capital needs including asset repair and
maintenance, subject to Council approval and funding availability. For purposes of the development fees,
an offset for “excess” construction sales tax is provided for the Street Facilities development fee although
at present, any construction sales tax directed toward capital improvements is dedicated to debt service
payments for capital facilities that are not development fee eligible or credits have already been
evaluated. The Town of Oro Valley provided a 5-year projection of total construction sales tax, which totals
$21.6 million, or $4.3 million on an average annual basis. The “excess” portion of that sales tax totals $8.1
million, or $1.6 million annually. As stated previously (an in more detail in Appendix B), much of this
revenue is already committed to non-development fee eligible debt obligations. However, in keeping with
the Town’s policy of allocating 5% of sales tax collections, TischlerBise has provided an offset for 5% of
the “excess” construction sales tax, which results in an offset per VMT of $16.05.

PROJECTED STREET FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT FEE REVENUE
Projected fee revenue shown in Figure S17 is based on the development projections in the Land Use
Assumptions (see Appendix A) and the updated Street Facilities development fees (see Figure S16).
Expenditures on arterial street improvements are derived from the anticipated need for approximately
14.25 new lane miles over the next 10 years (see Figure S10) at a cost of $6.1 million. Anticipated
development fee revenue is approximately $800,000 less than expenditures due to the offset for “excess”
construction sales tax revenue.

WATER FACILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PLAN
ARS § 9-463.05 (T)(7)(a) defines the facilities and assets that can be included in the Water Facilities IIP:
“Water facilities, including the supply, transportation, treatment, purification and distribution of
water, and any appurtenances for those facilities.”
The Water Facilities IIP includes components for the plan-based development of various improvements
to integrate the delivery of additional CAP water needed to serve future growth. The Town completed a
master plan in 2006 which provided recommended system improvements to allow for the initial delivery
of CAP water allocation. Beginning in 2012, the Town began delivering a portion of this water allocation
through the Tucson Water distribution system and, in 2024, the Town will significantly expand their CAP
water deliveries through the Northwest Recharge, Recovery, and Delivery System (NWRRDS). The project
will result in a transition from majority well supply to a more balanced well and CAP water supply and will
require a significant change in the way the distribution system is operated and how water is delivered
across the system. These changes are required to accommodate the water demands attributed to growth
and to ensure that groundwater pumping stays below 5,000 AFY as an established target identified in the
Master Plan. In 2018, the Town adopted the Potable Water Master Plan (the Master Plan) which provides
a 10-year planning horizon road map for the Town Water Utility. The Master Plan includes infrastructure
improvements that will benefit existing customers as well as future growth.
The relationship between infrastructure historically funded with PWSDIF revenue and infrastructure
funded with AWRDIF revenue are very similar. Both are potable water resource driven and both are
required to meet the demands of growth. As such, the infrastructure needs are being combined into one
IIP resulting in the creation of one new development impact fee to replace the two existing impact fees.
The new development impact fee will be known as the Water Facilities Development Impact Fee. The
Water Facilities Development Impact Fee is intended to fund all types of water resources, the
infrastructure to deliver those resources and any related debt including CAP capital infrastructure
repayment costs.
Upon the completion of the 10-year infrastructure improvement plan (IIP), the Town will have the capacity
to deliver 4,960 acre-feet per year (AFY) of CAP water into the main service area which will reduce
groundwater pumping from 5,320 AFY to 4,400 AFY thereby complying with the Town’s targeted
groundwater production goal of no more than 5,000 AFY. The Master Plan identifies a number of system
improvements required to accommodate future growth, including new wells, storage, pipelines and
approximately 20 separate NWRRDS projects to allow integration of additional CAP supply into the
distribution system. In addition to these costs, the cost of professional services for preparing the Water
Facilities IIP and related Development Fee Report have been included.
Service Area
Because new development in Oro Valley will connect to the Town’s water system, the service area for
Water Facilities IIP is Townwide.
Proportionate Share
ARS § 9-463.05 (B)(3) states that the development fee shall not exceed a proportionate share of the cost
of necessary public services needed to provide necessary public services to the development.
Land Use Assumptions, IIP and Development Fee Report Town of Oro Valley, Arizona
49
The Water Facilities IIP and development fees are assessed on both residential and nonresidential
development as both types of development create a burden for additional water facilities. Customers by
land use are used to determine the proportionate share of this burden. In 2017-2018, approximately 82%
of water connections in Oro Valley were for single family residential units, accounting for approximately
75% of the average daily demand. Approximately 12% of connections were for multifamily housing and
nonresidential connections, accounting for approximately 13% of the average daily demand. Irrigation use
accounts for the remaining 12% of use. As shown in Figure W1, equivalent residential service unit factors
for commercial/industrial meters recognize these types of meters use far more water on average than a
comparably sized single family water meter. For example, a typical single family meter demands 0.28 acre
feet a year, whereas commercial/industrial users in Oro Valley demand 0.31 acre feet annually, which is
1.11 times the single family residential equivalent.
Figure W1: Water Facilities Consumption Data and Service Unit Capacity Factor
RATIO OF SERVICE UNITS TO DEVELOPMENT UNITS
ARS § 9-463.05(E)(4) requires:
“A table establishing the specific level or quantity of use, consumption, generation or discharge of
a service unit for each category of necessary public services or facility expansions and an
equivalency or conversion table establishing the ratio of a service unit to various types of land
uses, including residential, commercial and industrial.”
Water Facilities development fees are assessed by meter. Therefore, capacity ratios by meter size are the
appropriate demand indicator for Water Facilities. Capacity ratios equate 5/8" (0.625) meters to the
average day gallons per single-family residential unit. Utilizing average day gallons is the most efficient
way to show a direct relationship between development units, usage, and system capacity. The
nonresidential Water Facilities development fees are calculated by multiplying the number of gallons per
single-family unit by the capacity ratio for the corresponding size and type of water meter, which are
provided by the American Water Works Association (2012) and shown in Figure W2 below.

Water Facilities Level-of-Service Standards
The Town delivers a combination of groundwater and CAP water wheeled through the Tucson Water
distribution system to meet its potable water demands within its service area. The existing water
distribution system consists of approximately 366 miles of public water mains, 13 storage reservoirs and
24 pump stations. In 2017, the Town main service area potable water production consisted of 5,069 acre-
feet of groundwater (73 percent of total production) and 1,842 acre-feet of CAP water (27 percent of
production). The Town manages 17 active wells with a total approximate pumping capacity of 12.5 million
gallons per day (MGD). The well demand fluctuates daily, but according to the Master Plan, typical well
demand during average day conditions is approximately 4 MGD, and during peak day conditions typically
increases to 8 MGD. All of the wells are permitted by ADWR as recovery wells, which allows the use of
recharge credits to offset its annual replenishment obligations as determined by the state’s Assured Water

Cost Recovery for Excess Capacity in Supply Projects
In 2007 the Town acquired 3,557 acre feet of additional CAP water to meet the water demands for future
growth. As of December of 2019, the Town’s Water Utility has calculated that of the original 3,557 acre
feet earmarked for growth, approximately 3,000 acre feet (2,678,227 gallons per day) remains available.
Based on current consumption rates, this remaining capacity can serve additional 10,715 equivalent
service units. Remaining debt for this water allocation is $3,436,451. Therefore, the Water Facilities
development fee includes a cost recovery component shown in Figure W5, which recognizes the original
acquisition in the form of a cost recovery of $320.74 per service unit ($3,436,451/10,714=$320.74).

Water Facilities Projects – Plan Based
The Town recently completed the 2018 Water Utility Potable Water Master Plan which identifies a variety
of projects required to meet the water demand of future growth through the anticipated integration and
increase of CAP water deliveries into the system. As identified in the Master Plan, the cost of the various
projects is attributed to existing deficiencies and those improvements required to serve future growth.
The following projects are directly related to Water Facilities and include a combination of supply, storage,
transmission capacity expansion to meet future growth demands of the system. The total cost of
improvements planned over the next 10 years is $39,549,923 million ($6.3 million for supply projects,
$19.4 million for storage and $13.8 million for distribution). As is discussed below, each project provides
additional fixed system capacity which corresponds to fee levels and the duration that the fee will be
imposed.
Water Facilities Supply Projects – Plan Based
Illustrated in Figure W6, Water Facilities supply projects identified by Oro Valley staff will add an additional
1,400 Acre Feet of capacity, able to provide for 5,143 service units with a total cost of $6.3 million. The
Town has been collecting development fees in anticipation of developing these projects and as a result
maintains an existing Water Facilities balance of $14.8 million which is proportionately applied to the
supply projects resulting in a net cost of supply projects of $3.9 million and shown in Figure W6. The
resulting cost per acre foot of supply is $4,021 and cost per service unit is $1,125.80 ( $3,937,882 / 5,143
= $1,125.80).
Figure W6: Infrastructure Improvement Plan: Water Supply
Water Facilities Storage Projects – Plan Based
The Town has identified and plans on activating a variety of new storage facilities over the next 15 years
to help meet additional water demand from new development. Figure W7 shows each new storage
element, cost, reduction of existing impact fee balance, net cost and added average capacity in acre feet
per year. The new storage projects will have a net growth related cost of $12.1 million and will add an
additional 1,400 AFY of capacity. Dividing the net cost by the total added capacity yields a cost per acre
foot of capacity of $10,453 and a cost per service unit of $2,926.93.

Water Facilities Distribution Projects – Plan Based
Ten distribution related projects identified by staff all work in concert to help meet additional water
demand from new development. Figure W8 shows each component associated with the new distribution
architecture cost and added capacity in acre feet per year. Water Facilities distribution projects will in
total will add an additional 1,400 acre feet of capacity, able to support water distribution for 5,143 service
units with a total net cost of $8.6 million. The resulting cost per acer foot of distribution capacity is $7,112
resulting in a cost per service unit of $1,991.43.

WATER FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT FEE
Required Offsets
A revenue credit/offset is not necessary for the Water Facilities development fees because 10-year growth
costs approximates the amount of revenue that is projected to be generated by development fees
according to the Land Use Assumptions, as shown in Figure W11.
Proposed Water Facilities Development Fees
The proposed Water Facilities development fees for Water Facilities are shown in Figures W10. For a single
family residential 5/8”-inch water meter, the proposed fee is found by multiplying the cost per ERU
($6,249.40) by the AWWA capacity ratio (1.0) and the demand adjustment factor (1.0) and adding the
$21.73 fee study cost per meter (see Figure W9). Equivalent residential service unit factors for
commercial/industrial meters recognize that these types of meters use more water on average than a
comparably sized single family water meter. For example, a typical single family meter demands 0.28 acre
feet a year, whereas commercial/industrial users in Oro Valley demand 0.31 acre feet annually, which is
1.11 times the single family residential equivalent. The development fee for irrigation and nonresidential
meters is determined by multiplying the cost per service unit by the meter capacity ratio and the demand
adjustment factor then adding the cost per meter of $21.73.

FORECAST OF REVENUES
Appendix B contains the forecast of revenues required by Arizona’s Enabling Legislation.
Development Fee Revenues for Water Facilities
Revenue projections shown below assume implementation of the proposed Water Facilities development
fees and that development over the next 10 years is consistent with the Land Use Assumptions. To the
extent the rate of development either accelerates or slows down, there will be a corresponding change in
the development fee revenue. As shown in Figure W11, the 10-year water improvement costs total $24.75
million and approximately $24.1 million will be collected from development fees.

APPENDIX A: LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For municipalities in Arizona, the state enabling legislation requires supporting documentation on land
use assumptions, a plan for infrastructure improvements, and development fee calculations. This
document contains the land use assumptions for the Town of Oro Valley’s 2019 development fee update.
Development fees must be updated every five years, making short-range projections the critical time
frame. The Infrastructure Improvements Plan (IIP) is limited to 10 years for non-utility fees, thus a very
long-range “build-out” analysis may not be used to derive development fees.
Arizona Revised Statuses (ARS) § 9-463.05 (T)(6) requires the preparation of a Land Use Assumptions
document which shows:
“Projections of change in land uses, densities, intensities and population for a specified service
area over a period of at least 10 years and pursuant to the General Plan of the municipality.”
TischlerBise prepared current demographic estimates and future development projections for both
residential and nonresidential development that will be used in the Infrastructure Improvement Plan (IIP)
and calculation of the development fees. Demographic data for FY 18-19 (beginning July 1, 2018) are used
in calculating levels-of-service provided to existing development in the Town of Oro Valley. Although long-
range projections are necessary for planning infrastructure systems, a shorter time frame of five to 10
years is critical for the impact fees analysis. TischlerBise used compound growth rates to produce
conservative projections that increase over time.
SERVICE AREA
ARS § 9-63.05 defines “service area” as follows:
“Any specified area within the boundaries of a municipality in which development will be served
by necessary public services or facility expansions and within which a substantial nexus exists
between the necessary public services or facility expansions and the development being served as
prescribed in the infrastructure improvements plan.”
The Town’s previous Land Use Assumptions, Infrastructure Improvement Plan and Development Study
recommended a single services area, shown below in Figure A1.

Much of the land in Oro Valley is characterized by a built environment of dispersed, detached single family
housing, transected by arterial roadways leading to concentrated nodes of businesses, institutions and
commercial development from with, largely single-family lots spread out to the northern edges. As a
result of the development pattern, the Town relies on a variety of revenues and funding mechanisms to
pay for public infrastructure and facilities which service residents. Oro Valley has embraced numerous
policies and plans to guide future development, most notably the 2016 Your Voice, Our Future General
Plan aimed at encouraging new development as much as possible to pay the proportional share of growth-
related infrastructure improvements for area roads, parks, police, fire and public facilities. In light of the
plan-specific policies outlined by the Town along with discussions with Town staff regarding anticipated
development patterns and infrastructure needs, TischlerBise is recommending no changes to the
Development Fee Service Area as displayed in Figure A1.
The single Development Fee Service Area is supported first and foremost because, parks and recreation,
police, and roadway infrastructure are intended to serve the entire Town with a standard level-of-service
as opposed to bounded districts or subareas. As an example, referring to Figure A1, a new residential
development in the northeast area is still likely to also utilize regional parks or police facilities located
throughout Town. Furthermore, many services such as police and roadway infrastructure react to
deployment changes over time based on migration patterns of people and are not necessarily restricted
to specific geographic sub-zones. As such, TischlerBise is recommending all fees for these categories be
assessed as a Townwide fee.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Current estimates and future projections of residential development are detailed in this section, including
population and housing units by type (single family versus multi-family units). Current (2018) estimates of
housing units were obtained using annual housing unit permit data provided by the Town of Oro Valley’s
Planning & Development Services department. Population estimates were derived from the Arizona Office
of Economic Opportunity (AOEO), 2018 Place Level Population tables along with 2016-2050 Sub-County
projections and the persons per housing unit ratio derived from the 2017 U.S. Census Bureau’s American
Community Survey 5-year estimates.
Persons per Housing Unit
In 2010 the U.S. Census Bureau transitioned from the traditional long-form questionnaire to the American
Community Survey, which is less detailed and has smaller sample sizes. As a result, Census data now has
more limitations than before. For example, data on detached housing units are now combined with
attached single units (commonly known as townhouses). For development fees in Oro Valley, “single-unit”
residential includes detached units and townhouses that share a common sidewall, but are constructed
on an individual parcel of land. The second residential category includes all structures with two or more
units on an individual parcel of land.
According to the Census Bureau, a household is a housing unit that is occupied by year-round residents.
Development fees often use per capita standards and persons per housing unit, or persons per household,
to derive proportionate-share fee amounts. When persons per housing unit are used in the fee
calculations, infrastructure standards are derived using year-round population. When persons per
Land Use Assumptions, IIP and Development Fee Report Town of Oro Valley, Arizona
61
household are used in the fee calculations, the development fee methodology assumes all housing units
will be occupied, this requiring seasonal or peak population to be used when deriving infrastructure
standards.
TischlerBise recommends that development fees for residential development in the Town of Oro Valley
be imposed according to a number of year-round residents per housing unit. For the development fee
calculations, TischlerBise used the ACS results shown at the top of Figure A2 to indicate the relative
number of persons per housing unit, by units in a residential structure, and the housing mix in Oro Valley.
The ratio of persons per housing unit (PPHU) across housing types is 2.00. To estimate population for
future years, however, PAG average annual growth rates are applied to base year population estimates
and described further in this report. According to the 2017 ACS estimates, the share of multi-family
housing in Oro Valley is approximately 16%. In 2017, approximately 13% of the housing stock in Oro Valley
was vacant or used by seasonal residents.
Figure A2: Year-Round Persons per Unit by Type of Housing
Current Residential Estimates
To estimate the current number of housing units, TischlerBise used building permit data from 2010
through 2018 provided by the Town of Oro Valley’s Planning & Development Services Department which
were added to the total housing unit count from the 100 percent 2010 Decennial Census. Base year
population estimates were derived from AOEO. These estimates are shown in Figure A3 below, along with
2028 projections. The estimates show there were 45,184 persons and 22,636 housing units in Oro Valley
in 2018, and project 51,175 residents and 25,632 housing units by 2028.

eight-year period was 287, although there was a high degree of variation from year to year. Single family
permits have been steadily increasing from a low of 47 at the tail end of the Great Recession to a high of
338 in 2017, while multi-family unit permits appear to far more inconsistent ranging from a high of 646
in 2014 to zero in other years, but have averaged 101 per year over the time period. The general trend in
housing unit permits is increasing.
Figure A4: Recent Residential Permits by Fiscal Year
Residential Projections
To derive the 10-year housing unit projections, TischlerBise started with the 100 percent 2010 Decennial
Census figure of 20,340 housing units and added the permit figures for fiscal years 2010-18 from Figure
A4 (1,490 SF and 806 MF units = 2,296) resulting in a base year figure of 22,636 housing units.
Housing unit estimates for 2018 through 2028 were calculated using the AOEO 2016-2028 population
estimated average annual growth rate of 1.20 percent and applying the 2017 ACS PPHU figure of 2.00
across all housing types. The resulting annual growth in housing units for the 2018-2028 period is 299
units per year, shown in Figure A5. The 2010 through 2018 building permit data show an average of 287
total units per year and imply an average annual growth rate in housing units of 1.28 percent. These
growth rates likely reflect the recent short-term increase in building activity and favorable economic
conditions. According to Town building permit data, the housing mix of 76 percent single family units and
24 percent multi-family units was assumed to remain constant. Oro Valley is projected to add 2,996
housing units between 2018 and 2028.
Oro Valley’s population projections, also shown in Figure A5, were derived by first establishing a base year
population from AOEO and then applying their annual rate of growth projection of 1.20 percent. Oro
Valley is projected to add 5,991 residents between 2018 and 2028.

NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
In addition to data on residential development, the infrastructure improvements plan and development
fees require data on nonresidential development in Oro Valley. Current estimates and future projections
of nonresidential development are detailed in this section, including jobs and floor area by type.
TischlerBise uses the terms “jobs” to refer to employment by place of work.
Jobs by Type of Nonresidential Development
To estimate the current number of jobs, TischlerBise applied most recent, (2015) U.S. Census OnTheMap
Longitudinal-Employer Household statistics for the Town of Oro Valley to the 2016-2026 Arizona Office of
Economic Opportunity annual industry growth estimate for the area of 1.6 percent. Jobs were aggregated
into one of four categories: Industrial, Commercial, Institutional, and Office & Other. These estimates are
shown in Figure A6 below. Analysis estimates there were 10,642 jobs in Oro Valley in 2018, and the
number of jobs will grow to 12,473 by 2028.
Figure A6: Oro Valley Jobs Estimates for 2018 and 2028
Looking more closely at the projections, AOEO forecast 1.6% annual growth in employment per year
between 2018 and 2028. Oro Valley’s 10-year job projections through 2028 are shown in Figure A7. The

Nonresidential Floor Area by Type of Development
Figure A8 indicates 2018 floor area estimates for the Town of Oro Valley grouped into four industry
classifications: Industrial, Commercial/Retail, Institutional and Office/Other Services. Floor area by sector
was derived from 2015 OnTheMap employment figures which were adjusted to 2018 by applying the
AOEO employment growth rate of 1.6%. Utilizing 2018 employment estimates, TischlerBise then applied
ITE square foot per employee figures to derive current estimated nonresidential floor area by industry
sector. 2019-2028 projections utilize AOEO growth in employment and ITE factors in the same manner.
Institutional uses have the highest square foot per job ratio at 1,076, followed by Industrial at 615 square
feet per job, Commercial at 427 square feet per job, and Office & Other at 337 square feet per job. The
last column in Figure A9 shows the ratio of jobs per 1,000 square feet from the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (2017). In total, Oro Valley is projected to add 781,000 square feet
of nonresidential floor area by 2028.

Figure A9: ITE Employee and Trip Generation Ratios
AVERAGE WEEKDAY VEHICLE TRIPS
Average Weekday Vehicle Trips are used as a measure of demand by land use. Vehicle trips are estimated
using average weekday vehicle trip ends from the reference book, Trip Generation, 10th Edition, published
by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in 2017. A vehicle trip end represents a vehicle entering
or exiting a development (as if a traffic counter were placed across a driveway).
Trip Rate Adjustments
To calculate street development fees, trip generation rates require an adjustment factor to avoid double
counting each trip at both the origin and destination points. Therefore, the basic trip adjustment factor is
50 percent. As discussed further below, the development impact fee methodology includes additional
adjustments to make the fees proportionate to the infrastructure demand for particular types of
development.
Commuter Trip Adjustment
Residential development has a larger trip adjustment factor of 63 percent to account for commuters
leaving Oro Valley for work. According to the 2009 National Household Travel Survey (see Table 30)
weekday work trips are typically 31 percent of production trips (i.e., all out-bound trips, which are 50
percent of all trip ends). As shown in Figure A10, the U.S. Census Bureau’s OnTheMap web application
indicates that 87 percent of resident workers traveled outside of Oro Valley for work in 2015. In
combination, these factors (0.31 x 0.50 x 0.87 = 0.13) support the additional 13 percent allocation of trips
to residential development.

Figure A10: Commuter Trip Adjustment
Adjustment for Pass-By Trips
For commercial development, the trip adjustment factor is less than 50 percent because retail
development attracts vehicles as they pass by on arterial and collector roads. For example, when someone
stops at a convenience store on the way home from work, the convenience store is not the primary
destination. For the average shopping center, ITE data indicate 34 percent of the vehicles that enter are
passing by on their way to some other primary destination. The remaining 66 percent of attraction trips
have the commercial site as their primary destination. Because attraction trips are half of all trips, the trip
adjustment factor is 66 percent multiplied by 50 percent, or approximately 33 percent of the trip ends.
Estimated Residential Vehicle Trip Rates
As an alternative to simply using the national average trip generation rate for residential development,
the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publishes regression curve formulas that may be used to
derive custom trip generation rates, using local demographic data. Key independent variables needed for
the analysis (i.e. vehicles available, housing units, households, and persons) are available from American
Community Survey data. Shown in Figure A11, custom trip generation rates for Oro Valley vary slightly
from the national averages. For example, single-family residential development is expected to generate
8.20 average weekday vehicle trip ends per dwelling – compared to the national average of 9.44 (ITE 210).
Multi-family residential development is expected to generate 4.30 average weekday vehicle trip ends per
dwelling, which is lower than the national average of 5.44 (ITE 221).

2. According to the National Household Travel Survey (2009)*, published in December 2011
(see Table 30), home-based work trips are typically 30.99 percent of “production” trips, in
other words, out-bound trips (which are 50 percent of all trip ends). Also, LED OnTheMap
data from 2015 indicate that 87 percent of Oro Valley workers travel outside the town for
work. In combination, these factors (0.3099 x 0.50 x 0.87 = 0.1347) account for 13 percent of
additional production trips. The total adjustment factor for residential includes attraction
trips (50 percent of trip ends) plus the journey-to-work commuting adjustment (13 percent
of production trips) for a total of 63 percent.

Functional Population
TischlerBise recommends functional population to allocate the cost of certain facilities to residential and
nonresidential development. As shown in Figure A12, functional population accounts for people living and
working in a jurisdiction. OnTheMap is a web-based mapping and reporting application that shows where
workers are employed and where they live. It describes geographic patterns of jobs by their employment
locations and residential locations as well as the connections between the two locations. OnTheMap was
developed through a unique partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau and its Local Employment
Dynamics (LED) partner states.
Residents that do not work are assigned 20 hours per day to residential development and four hours per
day to nonresidential development (annualized averages). Residents that work in Oro Valley are assigned
14 hours to residential development and 10 hours to nonresidential development. Residents that work
outside Oro Valley are assigned 14 hours to residential development. Inflow commuters are assigned 10
hours to nonresidential development. Based on 2015 functional population data for Oro Valley, the
proportionate share is 78 percent for residential development and 22 percent for nonresidential
development.

SUMMARY OF GROWTH INDICATORS
Development projections for the Town are summarized in Figure A13. These projections will be used to
estimate development fee revenue and to indicate the anticipated need for growth-related infrastructure.
However, development fees methodologies are designed to reduce sensitivity to accurate development
projections in the determination of the proportionate-share fee amounts. If actual development is slower
than projected, development fees revenues will decline, but so will the need for growth-related
infrastructure. In contrast, if development is faster than anticipated, the Town will receive an increase in
development fee revenue but will also need to accelerate capital improvements to keep pace with
development.
Figure A13: Municipal Planning Area Projections and Growth Rates
Development projections are based on U.S. Census OnTheMap 2015 employment estimates with 2016-
2028 AOEO industry growth rates applied by sector for 2019 through 2028. TischlerBise used historical
Town building permit data to estimate 2018 housing unit totals and AOEO 2016-2050 growth rates to
project future population growth. Population data were converted to housing units utilizing Oro Valley’s
PPHU size of 2.00 and job data were converted to nonresidential floor area using the methods described
in this Land Use Assumptions document.

APPENDIX B: FORECAST OF REVENUES
SB 1525 requires that the infrastructure improvements plan include (Section 9-463.05.E.7):
A forecast of revenues generated by new service units other than development fees, which shall
include estimated state-shared revenue, highway users revenue, federal revenue, ad valorem
property taxes, construction contracting or similar excise taxes and the capital recovery portion of
utility fees attributable to development based on the approved land use assumptions, and a plan to
include these contributions in determining the extent of the burden imposed by the development as
required in subsection B, paragraph 12 of this section.
Only revenue generated by new development that is dedicated to growth-related capital improvements
needs to be considered in determining the extent of the burden imposed by new development. As
discussed in greater detail in the Legal Framework section, offsets against impact fees are warranted in
the following cases: (a) new development will be paying taxes or fees used to retire debt on existing
facilities serving existing development; (b) new development will be paying taxes or fees used to fund an
existing deficiency, (c) new development will be paying taxes or fees that are dedicated to be used for
growth-related improvements, or (d) excess construction sales tax.
The analyses provided in the legal framework, street facilities, parks and recreational facilities, police
facilities and water facilities sections of this report have identified that the only need for offsets is against
the street facilities development fees for a portion of the “excess” construction sales tax and the police
facilities development fees for future debt payments used to elevate the existing level-of service. The
reasons for this conclusion are, in the order listed above, as follows.
(a) The Town has no debt for past capacity-expanding street facilities and parks and recreational
facilities included in the development fee calculations. The Town does have debt as part of the
Municipal Operations Center and for the Aquatics Center, but neither facility is included in the
development fee calculations.
(b) The street facilities and parks and recreational facilities are all calculated on the basis of the existing,
system-wide level-of-service (actually, a lower level-of-service in the case of transportation impact
fees). Consequently, there are no existing deficiencies, and no offsets for deficiencies are warranted.
As discussed above, the police facilities development fees have an offset for the portion of future debt
used to elevate the existing level-of-service.
(c) The only funding the Town has that is dedicated to capacity-expanding capital improvements is
future regional funding for major road improvements. Since only the Town’s share of anticipated costs
is used to determine the cost per service unit, so an offset for anticipated regional funding is not
required.
(d) An offset is provided for excess construction sales tax as defined by State law, and the offset is
provided against the transportation impact fee.
