RECOMMENDATION
(Motion to Continue the Public Hearing to November 7, 2023 Regular Council Meeting) Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2023-50, approving the Regional Transportation Impact Fee Report and adopting updated development impact fees related to transportation, effective October 17, 2023. Per Ordinance No. 608 (M.C. Section 3.64) related to the approval of transportation development impact fees, motion to approve Resolution No. 2023-50 approving the Regional Transportation Impact Fee Report and adopting updated development impact fees related to transportation, effective October 17, 2023.
BACKGROUND
The City of Patterson has adopted development impact fees in accordance with relevant provisions of Government Code §66000 et seq, to address the need for municipal facilities attributed to new development. Under State law, an impact fee must be reasonably related to the cost of the service provided by the local agency. These fees are only charged to and collected from new development within the city limits at the time of building permit issuance.
ANALYSIS
The City’s traffic engineer, Advanced Mobility Group have completed work on a Regional Transportation Impact Fee (TIF). The TIF considers roadway improvements identified in the 2010 General Plan and the Transportation Infrastructure Master Plan that are necessary to accommodate future expansion of the city. The TIF estimated funds necessary to accommodate and mitigate the impacts of future development. It should be noted that the TIF’s focus is on major intersections and roadways that serve a more regional need. Intersections and roadways that primarily serve local needs would be paid for directly by a developer or through other financial measures. As a development impact fee, the TIF would only pay for the fair share impact of future development. Existing deficiencies would be required to be paid for through other methods.
Proposed Maximum Allowable Transportation Impact Fee
Residential Units Total TIF per Unit
Single Family $7,532
Medium Density $4,261
High Density $3,633
Non-Residential Total TIF per 1,000 square feet
Retail $10,421
Non-Residential Mixed Use $8,460
Office $7,861
Limited Industrial $5,502
General Industrial/Warehouse $3,581
FISCAL IMPACT
Costs associated with the impact fee study were budgeted in Transportation funds. The revenues generated by the updated fees shall be placed in impact fee funds. All impact fees are collected at the time a building permit is issued; therefore, the fiscal impact is unknown until development takes place. The approved fees would increase annually, effective January 1st of every year, by the San Francisco Bay Area’s CCI (Construction Cost Index).
