A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE
TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE FOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF ARCADIA
WHEREAS on December 6, 2005, the City Council of the City of Arcadia approved
the Transportation Master Plan and adopted Resolution No. 6495 approving the
Transportation Impact Fee Program and a Transportation Impact Fee with the following
conditions:
1. The Transportation Impact Fee is imposed upon all new development in the City.
The purpose of the Transportation Impact Fee is to help pay for needed traffic
improvements to maintain certain intersections at a Level of Service "D" or better.
2. The City 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 the intersections increases with the
increased traffic flow expected from new development.
3. The Transportation Impact Fees shall be used for the improvements to the
intersections identified in the Transportation Impact Fee Program.
4. It is reasonable to impose the Transportation Impact Fees on all types of new
development within the City because all new development adds additional vehicular
trips that place an increased burden on the City's roadway capacity.
5. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the Transportation Impact
Fee established and the new development that is paying the Fee, because the Fee
was based on the amount of P.M. peak hour vehicle trips attributed to such
1
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 required to fund only its share of the improvements; and
WHEREAS on March 7, 2006, the City Council approved minor changes to the
Transportation Master Plan and approved Resolution No. 6510 approving a revised
Transportation Impact Fee; and
WHEREAS in November of 2014, the City Council approved a Professional Services
Agreement with Gibson Transportation Consulting, Inc., for the preparation of an Update
to the Transportation Impact Fee Program and a revised Transportation Impact Fee; and
WHEREAS the Transportation Fee Program Update has now been completed
based on the original conditions stated above, and the revised Transportation Impact Fee
is ready for adoption; and
WHEREAS, a duly noticed Public Hearing was held by the City Council on October
18, 2016 concerning the proposed adoption of a revised Transportation Impact Fee as set
forth in this Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Transportation Impact Fees for new development shall be determined
based on $1,983.00 per PM Peak Hour vehicle trip. The resulting Transportation Impact
Fees for different land uses are set forth in Exhibit "A" and are hereby adopted.
