RESOLUTION NO. 2024-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMARILLO, CALIFORNIA, MODIFYING THE CITY’S
TRAFFIC CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The City Council of the City of Camarillo resolves as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Camarillo finds and declares as follows:
A. The City has adopted Chapter 11.68 (Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees) of the Camarillo Municipal Code establishing a traffic mitigation fee program.
B. Chapter 11.68, among other things, sets forth the types of new development that is subject to the City’s Traffic Mitigation Fees, authorizes the establishment of geographic areas or “Districts” where impacts are generally similar, and provides the basis and methodology for calculating the applicable Traffic Mitigation Fee.
C. Since the adoption of Chapter 11.68, the City has adopted several resolutions that have approved and adjusted the City’s Traffic Circulation Improvement Plan, Traffic Mitigation Fee Districts, and Traffic Mitigation Fees.
D. These resolutions include Resolution Nos. 89-164, 97-125, 98-148, 2005-73, 2012-23, 2021-39, and 2022-24. The findings contained in these resolutions are incorporated by this reference.
E. Section 11.60.030.G. of the Camarillo Municipal Code notes that the Traffic Circulation Improvement Plan shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council and shall be revised as necessary.
F. Section 11.68.080.A. of the Camarillo Municipal Code permits the City Council to make a determination for use of the Traffic Mitigation Fee.
G. Section 66001(g) of the California Government Code notes that development fees such as the Traffic Mitigation Fee may include costs attributable to the increased demand for public facilities reasonably related to a development project in order to (1) refurbish existing facilities to maintain the existing level of service or (2) achieve an adopted level of service that is consistent with the general plan.
H. The City has received an updated Traffic Circulation Improvement Plan (TCIP), which incorporates changes to funding distribution of projects identified within the TCIP but makes no proposed changes to the Traffic Mitigation Fees themselves. Changes include the reduction of Traffic Mitigation Fees for the Metrolink Undercrossing project in the amount of $4,466,000; the reduction of $3,000,000 for the Central Interchange; and the reduction of $6,107,000 for the Las Posas: Ventura to Pleasant Valley Project. The $13,573,000 will be redistributed to other projects, including $425,000 to the Las Posas and Temple Traffic Signal Project; $4,238,000 to the Pleasant Valley Road Bike Lanes Project; and $8,910,000 to a newly added project, the Ventura Boulevard Bridge Replacement Project.
Resolution No.
I. As there are no proposed changes to the Traffic Mitigation Fees no Nexus Routine is required.
J. For the reasons set forth in the accompanying staff report, which is incorporated by this reference, the City Council has determined that the public interest, convenience, and necessity require modification to the Traffic Circulation Improvement Plan.
SECTION 2: Traffic Circulation Improvement Plan. The City Council hereby adopts the modified Traffic Circulation Improvement Plan as set forth in the attached Exhibit A.
SECTION 3: The City Clerk is directed to certify the adoption of this resolution.
