City of Post Falls, Idaho

TischlerBise has worked with the City of Post Falls to develop the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fees since the City’s first study in 2006. Most recently, TischlerBise was retained to update the City of Post Falls’ impact fee program that includes parks, public safety, and roads. This assignment included modifying the approach taken for residential fees and expanding the nonresidential schedule to align with land uses being built in the City. The parks fee includes two different types of parks, for which current levels-of-service have been maintained over the past ten years, as well as recreation center space. The public safety fee includes space for police facilities as well as communications infrastructure such as wireless towers, and the roads fee is based on a long-range plan of improvements needed to accommodate growth. TischlerBise informed stakeholders on the process and methodologies through the process and made changes in response to feedback from staff, elected officials, and stakeholders.
