(a) 
Definitions.
"New development"
means construction of residential improvements, construction of commercial, industrial or other nonresidential improvements, or the addition of floor space to existing developments.
"Transportation improvements"
means streets and supporting improvements including, but not limited to, right-of-way, roads, traffic-control devices, overpasses, bridges and related activities beyond the boundaries of a project, which do not otherwise constitute "on-site road improvements."
"On-site road improvement"
means any road improvement within the boundaries of a project including the following improvements along a project's boundaries: curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, plus up to 20 feet of matching paving along the entire frontage of the project on previously dedicated streets, off-site transitions, acceleration and deceleration lanes, any other special means of ingress/egress that involves road improvements, road improvements needed to solve problems directly related to the project, and any right-of-way needed to accommodate the above improvements.
"Off-site road improvements"
means transportation improvements constructed away from the project site which are necessary to mitigate cumulative traffic impacts but not necessary to mitigate traffic impacts of the project.
"Peak-hour trip"
means a single or one-direction vehicle movement with either the origin or destination (exiting or entering) inside the project site within the period of highest volume of traffic flow of the adjacent street system.
"Project"
means Casa del Cielo as identified in the records of the City.
(b) 
A transportation improvement fee shall be charged to the project upon issuance of a building permit and shall be paid prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
(c) 
Fee. For the project the fee shall be $34.59 per peak-hour trip generated by the project, generally based on data from the most recently issued Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation Tables, or data provided by a qualified traffic engineer, subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
(d) 
Use of Fee. The fee shall be solely used to pay for the construction of transportation improvements indicated in the Kimes-Coats Property traffic study, prepared by Kunzman Associates, dated March 18, 1986.
(e) 
Fee Review. On or about the first of January of each following year the Public Works Department shall review the estimated costs of the described capital improvements, the continued need for those improvements and the reasonable relationship between such need and the impacts of the various types of development pending or anticipated and for which this fee is charged. The Public Works Department shall report its findings to the City Council at a noticed public hearing and recommend any adjustment to this fee or other action as may be needed. Adjustments shall be reviewed based on the construction cost index (CCI) for the preceding year as published in the Engineering News Record.
(f) 
Requirements to Construct "Off-site Road Improvements." If the approving body requires the applicant to construct off-site road improvements the value of those improvements shall be deducted from the payment that would otherwise be collected. Traffic improvements that are necessary to mitigate the traffic impacts of the project are considered on-site and are not to be deducted from payment due.
(g) 
Judicial Action to Challenge This Resolution. Any judicial action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void or annul the resolution codified in this section shall be brought within 120 days.
