RESOLUTION NO. 2026-____
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MORENO VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE
APPLICABLE TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION
FEE (TUMF) APPLICABLE TO ALL DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE CITY OF MORENO VALLEY
WHEREAS, the City of Moreno Valley (“City”) is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and eighteen cities located in Western Riverside County; and WHEREAS, the member agencies of WRC OG recognized that there was insufficient funding to address the impacts of new development on the regional system of highways and arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”); and WHEREAS, in order to address this shortfall, the member ag encies formulated a plan whereby a transportation mitigation fee would be assessed on new development and would be used to fund the necessary improvements for the Regional System; and WHEREAS, WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Participating Jurisdictions, prepared an updated nexus study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024 Update” (“2024 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees; and WHEREAS, in September 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program; and WHEREAS, consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Ordinance No. 925, the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that if the capacity of the Regional System is not e nlarged and unless development contributes to the cost of improving the Regional System, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County, with unacceptable Levels of Service. Furthermore, the failure to mitigate growing traffic impacts on the Regional System will substantially impair the ability of public safety services (police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. Therefore, continuation of a TUMF Program is essential; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health, and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonabl e and rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional System and
2 Resolution No. 2026-____
Date Adopted: March 17, 2026
the type of development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such projects to have access to the Regional system. Such development will benefit from the Regional System improvements and the burden of such developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new 2024 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Regional System improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional System, and that the amount of the TUMF expected to be generated by new development wi ll not exceed the total fair share cost to such development; and
WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to the TUMF Ordinance shall be used to help pay for the design, planning, construction of and real property acquisition for the Regional System improveme nts and its facilities as identified in the 2024 Nexus Study.
The need for the improvements and facilities is related to new development because such development results in additional traffic and creates the demand for the improvements ; and
WHEREAS, by notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place for a public hearing on the 2024 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder and at least ten (10) days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 2024 Nexus Study available to the public; and
WHEREAS, at the time and place set for the hearing, the City Council duly considered data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of the improvements and facilities for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether written or oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing; and WHEREAS, SECTION 4 of Ordinance XX authorizes periodic review and adjustment to the applicable TUMF in accordance with any adjustments made by the WRCOG Executive Committee; and
WHEREAS, SECTION 4 of Ordinance XX implements an annual automatic construction cost index (“CCI”) adjustment to the TUMF; and WHEREAS, the purpose of the Resolution is to implement the initial automatic CCI adjustment as provided for in Ordinance XX; and
WHEREAS, further CCI increases shall be automatically implemented pursuant to SECTION 4 of Ordinance XX; and
WHEREAS, the automatic CCI adjustment implemented by this Resolution is inflationary only and does not modify the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, improvement program, or proportionality findings previously adopted by the City; and WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to this Resolution shall be used to finance the public facilities described or identified in the Nexus Study; and WHEREAS, the levying of TUMF has been reviewed by the City Council and staff in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines and it has been determined that the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from
