Summary:
Estimated Actual
Arlington has a statutory obligation to update the land use Milestone Completion Completion
assumptions and capital improvements plan that form the RFP advertised Dec. 2024
basis for the Impact Fee Program (IFP). The update is Contract signed Mar. 2024
required every five years (TLGC Sec. 395.052). The current Land Use TBC

land use assumptions examine projections of changes in land
uses, densities, intensities, and population. The assumptions
are reasoned judgments based on existing zoning patterns,
development policies, and the realistic prospect for future
change. With the projections contained in the land use
assumptions, the city prepares a revised CIP detailing the
capital improvements needed over the term of the plan to
meet existing and projected future demand. The update also
addresses known inequities in the existing program to ensure
developers are contributing to the Program based on the
latest engineering and planning practices. Specifically, the
Arlington IFP must update its land use classifications to
conform to the latest Institute of Transportation Engineers
trip generation data used by other jurisdictions.

The IFP update shall be performed by a qualified engineer or
engineering consultant who is not an employee of the City.
The update process is essentially the same as was used to
enact the IFP ordinance originally. The engineer works with
the appointed CIPAC (the Planning and Zoning Commission)
to produce the update.
