WHEREAS, in order to receive funds collected by SANDAG through the TransNet Ordinance, the City Council must impose and collect the RTCIP fee for each newly constructed residential housing unit to mitigate the impact each unit has on the regional arterial system; and WHEREAS, the City Council has added Chapter 82.34 to the Coronado Municipal Code, adopting the San Diego County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of Attachment 1
2008 (the “Ordinance”), which approves the implementation of a monetary exaction for each newly constructed residential housing unit in the City of Coronado; and WHEREAS, the Ordinance provides that the City Council shall adopt a schedule of fees calculated according to the calculation methodology set forth in Table 11 of the Nexus Study, as may be amended from time to time; and
WHEREAS, SANDAG approved an increase in the Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program raising the minimum mitigation fee by 4.9 percent from $2,741.97 to $2,875.06.
