The city council finds and declares that the purpose of this
chapter is as follows:
A. The
general plan of the city requires that the city be provided, in a
time frame related to its development, with an adequate level of traffic
and circulation infrastructure so as to maintain “Level of Service
C,” except where specified otherwise by the city council in
accordance with policies in the general plan.
B. New
development, and the expansion of existing development, within the
city imposes a burden on the existing traffic and circulation infrastructure
by adding additional traffic and by creating a need for new traffic
and circulation infrastructure. Such burdens may vary by type of land
use and by the location of the land use within the city.
C. Analysis
of the land use expected at certain levels of development of the city
pursuant to the general plan makes it possible to estimate the number
of trips generated by different types of land uses, to analyze the
traffic and circulation infrastructure or facilities necessary to
support those trips, and to determine which land uses will utilize
which portions of such infrastructure. It is therefore possible to
construct a fee, based on trip generation, which equitably spreads
the burden of traffic and circulation infrastructure or facilities
to those who will create the need for them and utilize them. It is
the intent of this chapter to create such a fee, spreading costs of
traffic and circulation infrastructure to those who create the need
for such infrastructure, without generating any surplus to the general
fund. It is the further purpose of this chapter to implement the general
plan by assuring that adequate public facilities are financed and
provided to serve the city.
D. The
fee established by this chapter has been calculated in the manner
set forth in the study so as to pay for those facilities listed in
the capital improvement program.
E. The
fee established by this chapter is in addition to any other fees or
charges required by law as a condition of development.
F. The
fee established by this chapter is to be collected for public improvements
and facilities for which an account has been established and funds
appropriated, and for which a proposed construction schedule has been
adopted.
G. The
failure to impose the conditions and regulations of this chapter relating
to payment of the fee on building permits would jeopardize residents
of the community, in that it would permit construction to proceed
without adequate infrastructure or means of financing said infrastructure.
H. The
requirement of this chapter to pay the fee is necessary in order to
assure compliance with the applicable Zoning Ordinance and general
plan requirements for the infrastructure funded by this chapter.
I. For
a period of greater than 10 days prior to adoption of this chapter,
data has been available to the public and to developers and their
representatives indicating the cost or estimated cost of all the infrastructure
to be funded, the revenue sources anticipated and the means of spreading
these costs.
J. The
city council has considered the effect of the fee imposed by this
chapter with respect to the housing needs of the city as a whole and
of the region, particularly as required by the housing element of
the general plan, and the city council finds that this chapter does
not unduly adversely affect the city’s ability to provide for
such needs.
K. The
establishment of the fee is for the purpose of obtaining funds for
capital projects, necessary to maintain service required by the general
plan within existing service areas and existing portions of the city
which are developed or for which land use has already been granted.

of any structure pursuant to and as defined by the building code.
“Covered improvements”
means those traffic and circulation facilities, improvements,
or infrastructure listed in that document entitled “2013 City/County

type of development or use is equivalent in terms of expected or estimated

type of development or use to dwelling unit equivalents. D.U.E. rates
shall be expressed as the number of D.U.E.s per unit of a particular
use.
“Facilities”
means those public traffic and circulation facilities, improvements
or infrastructure shown and included on the covered improvements list.
“Fee” or “traffic mitigation fee”
means the fee established by this chapter. The fee shall
be collected prior to the approval and issuance of any building permit,
or as provided otherwise in this chapter. The fee shall be used solely
to finance the covered improvements.
“Improvement plan”
means a site plan of property proposed for development showing
all required improvements that must be approved by the city prior
to the issuance of a building permit for the property.
“Infill area”
means that portion of the city not within the Northeast,
North Central, Northwest, Highland Reserve North, North Roseville,
Stoneridge, Southeast, West Roseville, Del Webb, Creekview, or Sierra
Vista specific plan areas, nor within the North Industrial Area.
“Study”
means that certain document entitled “2013 City/County

study is on file in the offices of the director and city clerk.

The finance director is directed to establish a special interest-bearing

collected pursuant to this chapter shall be deposited in the Baseline/Walerga
traffic mitigation fund and expended solely to finance the facilities.
(Ord. 4118 § 1, 2004; Ord. 5203 § 1, 2013)
Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, the fee imposed
pursuant to this chapter shall be paid upon the issuance of any building
permit for any development, project or building. Calculation of the
fee shall be determined in accordance with the study and this chapter
depending upon where within the city development occurs, the type
of development and the extent of development.
(Ord. 4118 § 1, 2004)
Where building permits are issued by an individual or agency

(Ord. 4118 § 1, 2004; Ord. 5203 § 1, 2013)
The director shall determine D.U.E. rates for any development,
project or building for which a building permit is issued. D.U.E.
rates shall be based on the actual use proposed and shall consider
trip generation and any other information deemed pertinent by the
director. The rates shall be determined using generally accepted engineering
practice and the best available information. The total fee charged
shall be determined by the director and calculated by multiplying
the D.U.E. rate for the particular use by the number of units or size
of the development, project or building.
(Ord. 4118 § 1, 2004)
No fee shall be charged for already existing development or
for projects which rebuild or remodel without increasing the trips
generated, except as provided in this section.
A. Where the development or project changes to a different land use, it shall be charged the appropriate fee as provided by Sections
4.45.050 and
4.45.060, less any amount previously paid pursuant to this chapter.
B. Where the development or project expands or remodels the same land use, it shall be charged the appropriate fee as provided by Sections
4.45.050 and
4.45.060; provided, however, that the fee shall be calculated only as to that portion of the development or project which is expanded or remodeled. Where the fee is calculated based upon the number of dwelling units, no fee shall be charged unless at least one additional dwelling unit is added.
(Ord. 4118 § 1, 2004)
The fee established by this chapter shall be adjusted annually
on July 1st by a percentage equal to the adjustment rate for the prior
year for construction costs as determined by the director in the preceding
June. The director’s determination shall be based upon averaging
the Construction Cost Index (CCI) for 20 cities and for San Francisco,
as published in the Engineering News Record publication for the preceding
12 months ending in May. The resultant fee shall be rounded to the
nearest dollar figure.
(Ord. 4118 § 1, 2004; Ord. 4739 § 4, 2009)
When the moneys in the traffic mitigation fund are disbursed
for use, the fees shall be used to finance the facilities. To the
extent sufficient fees are available, all facilities financed by the
fees shall be constructed or acquired in accordance with the priorities
established in the city/county traffic mitigation fee.
(Ord. 4118 § 1, 2004)
If any provision of this chapter or the application thereof
to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall
