(A) Infrastructure Improvements Plan contents. The Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall be developed by qualified professionals and may be based upon or incorporated within the town's Capital Improvements Plan. The Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall:
(1) Specify the categories of necessary public services for which the town will impose a development impact fee, which may include any or all of the following:
(a) Water.
(b) Wastewater.
(c) Stormwater, drainage, and flood control.
(d) Street facilities.
(e) Fire protection.
(f) Police.
(g) Parks.
(2) Define and provide a map of 1 or more service areas within which the town will provide each category of necessary public services for which development impact fees will be charged. Each service area must be defined in a manner that demonstrates a substantial nexus between the capital facilities to be provided in the service area and the ERUs to be served by those capital facilities.
(3) Identify and describe the land use assumptions upon which the Infrastructure Improvements Plan is based in each service area.
(4) Analyze and identify the existing level of service provided by the town to existing ERUs for each category of necessary public services in each service area.
(5) Identify the level of service to be provided by the town for each category of necessary public services in each service area based on the relevant land use assumptions and any established town
standards or policies related to required levels of service. If the town provides the same category of necessary public services in more than 1 service area, the Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall include a comparison of the levels of service to be provided in each service area.
(6) Identify any grandfathered facilities and the impact thereof on the need for necessary public services in each affected service area.
(7) Estimate the total number of existing and future ERUs within each service area based on the town's land use assumptions and projected new ERUs in each service area.
(8) For each category of necessary public services, analyze and identify the projected utilization of any available excess capacity in existing capital facilities, and all new or expanded capital facilities that will be required to provide and maintain the planned level of service in each service area as a result of the new projected ERUs in that service area, for a period not to exceed 10 years. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the town from additionally including in its Infrastructure Improvements Plan projected utilization of, or needs for, capital facilities for a period longer than 10 years, provided that the costs of such capital facilities are excluded from the calculation of the plan-based cost per ERU.
(9) For each category of necessary public services, estimate the total cost of any available excess capacity and/or new or expanded capital facilities that will be required to serve new ERUs, including costs of land acquisition, improvements, engineering and architectural services, studies leading to design, design, construction, financing, and administrative costs, as well as projected costs of inflation. Such total costs shall not include costs for ongoing operation and maintenance of capital facilities, nor for replacement of capital facilities to the extent that such replacement is necessary to serve existing ERUs. If the Infrastructure Improvements Plan includes changes or upgrades to existing capital facilities that will be needed to achieve or maintain the planned level of service to existing ERUs, or to meet new regulatory requirements for services provided to existing ERUs, such costs shall be identified and distinguished in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan.
(10) Forecast the revenues from taxes, fees, assessments or other sources that will be available to fund the new or expanded capital facilities identified in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan. The Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall additionally estimate the time required to finance, construct and implement the new or expanded capital facilities.
(B) Multiple Plans. An Infrastructure Improvements Plan adopted pursuant to this section may address 1 or more of the town's categories of necessary public services in any or all of the town's service areas. Each capital facility shall be subject to no more than 1 Infrastructure Improvements Plan at any given time.
(C) Reserved capacity. The town may reserve capacity in an Infrastructure Improvements Plan to serve 1 or more planned future developments, including capacity reserved through a Development Agreement pursuant to § 154.13. All reservations of existing capacity must be disclosed in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan at the time it is adopted.
