County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program and adoption of the Resolution No. XXX, amending the applicable TUMF schedule to all developments in the City.
DISCUSSION
The City of Moreno Valley is a Member Jurisdiction of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and eighteen (18) cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, in 2002- 2003 the WRCOG Member Jurisdictions developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials due to new development in Western Riverside County could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial and industrial development. As a Member Jurisdiction of WRCOG and as a TUMF Participating Jurisdiction, the City participated in the preparation of a certain “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study,” (“2002 Nexus Study”) later adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee. Based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented an ordinance authorizing the City’s participation in a TUMF Program.
Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.), WRCOG has prepared a new nexus study (“2024 Nexus Study”) to update the fees. On September 9, 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions update their fees by amending their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction.
The proposed Ordinance provides the legal basis for a revised TUMF schedule. The actual TUMF schedule will be established through the Resolution.
In accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act, the proposed Ordinance and 2024 Nexus Study: (i) identify the purpose of the revised fees; (ii) identify the use to which the revised fees is to be put, including identification of any facilities to be financed; (iii) determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed; (iv) determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the type of development project upon which the fees are imposed; and (v) determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fees and the cost of the public facilities or portion or the public facility attributable to the development on which the fees are imposed.
The resolution will establish the Fee Schedule for TUMF as follows:
1. $12,380 per single family residential unit 1,800 square feet or less
2. $13,927 per single family residential unit between 1,801 and 2,300 square feet
3. $15,476 per single family residential unit between 2,301 and 2,700 square feet
4. $19,344 per single family residential unit greater than 2,700 square feet
5. $7,816 per multi-family residential unit
6. $2.33 per square foot of an industrial project
