RESOLUTION NO. XX-25
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA, TO ALLOCATE AND APPROPRIATE $315,000 TO COMPLETE A
LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING STUDY
WHEREAS, the City of Richmond collects Traffic Impact Fees from developers to help mitigate the impact of new development on transportation infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richmond was unable to update its Traffic Impact Fee when the fee schedule was last updated, because the City did not have an updated long-range transportation infrastructure plan to support a nexus study; and
WHEREAS, the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000 et seq.) requires that a jurisdiction demonstrate a reasonable relationship, or nexus, between an impact fee and the public improvements funded by that fee; and
WHEREAS, to support such a nexus study and evaluate the appropriateness of the City’s Traffic Impact Fee, the City of Richmond must conduct a study that demonstrates how Richmond will expand transportation system capacity in order to accommodate new growth; and
WHEREAS, the proposed planning study will evaluate future transportation needs, assess current conditions, and develop a prioritized list of improvements for all travel modes; and
WHEREAS, this project list will be used by the Finance Department to prepare a formal nexus study, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act; and
WHEREAS, City staff has determined that $315,000 is needed to complete the long- range transportation infrastructure planning study; and
WHEREAS, City staff has determined that this is an eligible expense under Measure J Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that $315,000 from Measure J be allocated and appropriated to provide funding for the long-range transportation infrastructure planning study.
