Development Impact Fees Impact Fee Areas (Maps, etc.) 4.1 Rationale for separate and unique Impact Fee areas Many counties, cities and towns have one standardized impact fee schedule that covers the entire jurisdiction. Although this type of impact fee structure has many advantages, including simplicity of calculation and ease of collection, it could lead to a relatively unfair distribution of infrastructure costs that promotes development in areas without existing infrastructure and penalizes development in areas that have better access to existing facilities. The City acknowledges that, because of the large size of Phoenix, several fee areas are needed to more fairly allocate future capital facility costs. As a result, there are two infrastructure financing areas; one in the north and one in the south. These two fee areas have been subdivided to better allocate specific types of facility costs. By assessing the fees on the basis of a specific fee area, or even sub-fee area, the City can better ensure that new development is only paying for capital facilities that it needs and will benefit from.
