A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, SETTING A TRANSPORTATION
IMPACT FEE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF
ARCADIA
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Arcadia received the Transportation
Master Plan and the Transportation Impact Fee Program reports dated November 2005
relating to traffic impacts, infrastructure improvements, and impact fees; and
WHEREAS, new development will increase the amount of congestion on the City
streets; and
WHEREAS, the Arcadia General Plan established a target of level of service "D" or
better to be attained for roadways and at intersections within the City; and
WHEREAS, the Transportation Master Plan identifies certain intersections that must
be upgraded with necessary improvements to maintain a level of service "D" or better; and
WHEREAS, the Transportation Impact Fee Program assigns the percentage of the
improvements due to new development; and
WHEREAS, the City Council intends lhat for new development to pay its fair share
of the needed traffic improvements; and
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held by the City Council concerning
the proposed adoption of Transportation Impact fees on this Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
A. The fees established herein shall be imposed upon all new development
(regardless of any prior development on the subject property) in the City. The
purpose of the fee is to help pay for needed traffic improvements to maintain
certain intersections at a Level of Service "D" or better.
B. The City has determined that certain street intersections which were identified in
the Transportation Master Plan and the Transportation Impact Fee Program as
needing long-range improvements, must be improved. The needed
improvements to maintain Level of Service "D" or better at lhe intersections
increases with the increased traffic flow expected from new development.
C. The fee imposed by this Resolution shall be used for the improvements to the
intersections identified in the Transportation Impact Fee Program.
D. It is reasonable to impose the traffic impact fee on all types of new development
within the City as all new development adds additional vehicular trips that place
an increased burden on the City's roadway capacity.
E. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee that is
established by this Resolution and the new development that is paying the fee,
as the fee will be based on the amount of P.M. peak hour vehicle trips attributed
to such development in relation to the total number of P.M. peak hour vehicle
trips that the intersections are designed to handle at Level of Service "D" or
better and new development is only being required to fund its share of the
improvements.
SECTION 2. The fees for new development shall be based on $2,379.00 per PM
Peak Hour vehicle trip. The resulting fees for the different land uses are listed in Exhibit A
and are hereby adopted.
