AGENDA TITLE: Review Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) Re0ort and Provide
Direction Regarding Future Implementation
MEETIN4 DATE: November 16, 2005
PREPAID BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council review the Regional Transportation Impact
Fee (RTIF) report and direct staff to pursue: implementation of the
RTIF by bringing back the ordinance, modifed for Lodi's Code, for
consideration, introduction and adoption, and, with adoption, the
RTIF operating agreement and fee resolution.
BACKGWU14D INFORMATION: The San Joaquin Council of Governments (COG), with the
participation of our City Council representative and staff has studied
and adopted a new fee program to help pay for regional
transportation improvements. Such a program was encouraged as
part of Measure K — the Y2 -cent transportation sales tax in this County. (A local transportation fee was
required as part of Measure K.)
The COG has asked San Joaquin County and each City to adopt this program (see letter, Exhibit A). As
noted in the letter, Pennino & Associates will be presenting background information on the RTIF to help
seek Council's approval.
The RTIF consists of:
• Technical Report dated October 27, 2005 (the "nexus study") — Exhibit B — This report provides
the technical documentation and analysis supporting the fee program and the maximum fee.
• Operating Agreement — Exhibit C — This agreement details the procedures for setting, collecting
and administering the fees.
• Model Ordinance — Exhibit D — This model ordinance provides the legal basis for implementing
the fee program.
• Madel Resolution — Exhibit E — This model resolution actually sets the fees.
Some of the highlights of the program are:
The proposed fees are:
o $2,500 per single-family dwelling
o $1,500 per mull -family revelling unit
o $1.00 per retail building square foot
o $1.25 per office building square foot
o $0.75 per industrial building square foot

• The fee is automatically adjusted each July 1 by the change in the Engineering News Record
Construction Cost Index.
• The fees are to be solely used for projects listed in the technical report.
• 10% of the funds collected by Cities are provided to San Joaquin County for RTIF projects located
within the County.
10% of the funds collected by each agency are provided to the COG for State Highway projects
on the RTIF list.
• 5% of the funds collected by each agency are provided to the COG for transit improvements on
the RTIF list.
• 75% of the funds collected by each City (85% County) may be retained by the agency for RTIF
projects at their discretion or provided to COG for an RTIF project.
• Up to 2% of the first million dollars retained by each agency may be used for administrative costs
(plus up to 1 % of amounts over one million).
RTIF funds are to be kept in a separate fund and inter -fund borrowing is specifically prohibited,
except within the RTIF program.
• Semi-annual and annual reporting is required.
• Except for the annual index adjustment, there is a 5 -year "freeze" on the fees and the program,
with 5 -year updates following.
• Provisions for RTIF projects built by development projects are included, similar to the City's fee
program.
• The City will need to evaluate its own transportation fee program, due to adoption of the RTIF.
In keeping with the intent of Measure K and recognizing the growing need for transportation funding, City
staff is supportive of the RTIF.
FISCAL tINIPACT: Additional transportation funding actually available to Lodi will depend on
development activity. The City's current fee for transportation projects is
$12,969 per low-density residential acre or approximately $2,600 per
single-family unit. Clearly, the RTIF would be a significant increase in
available funding.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.

I. INTRODUCTION AND RESULTS
This Technical Report is designed to provide participating jurisdictions in San Joaquin
Region with the necessary technical documentation and nexus analysis supporting the
adoption of a Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) Ordinance. It has been
prepared by Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) and Fehr & Peers Associates Inc.,
with input and guidance from the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG). The
RTIF program described in this Report is based on current growth projections and
infrastructure requirements and is consistent with the most recent relevant case Iaw and
the principles of AB1600 or Government Code Section 66000 et seq ("Fees for
Development Projects"; except where specific citations are provided, this statute will be
referred to in this Report as AB 1600).
Following this introductory chapter, Chapter II discusses the land use growth
projections used in this analysis and Chapter III describes the RTIF capital costs.
Chapter IV describes the modeling techniques used to establish nexus for the RTIF
program and the resulting RTIF program fee calculation by land use category.
PURPOSE OF PROPOSED FEES AND TECHNICAL REPORT
The RTIF program described in this Report will provide funding for regional
transportation improvements required to serve new development and to ensure that
existing service levels can be maintained. To the extent that required improvements
serve both new and existing development, or travel through the San Joaquin Region,
only the portion that is attributable to new development inside the region is included in
the RTIF program. It is expected that the RTIF program funding will be augmented by
other revenue sources to meet overall funding requirements, particularly Measure K
funding and State and Federal Grants.
This Report also provides a schedule of fees to be established by the RTIF Ordinance
and/or Resolution. This Report and the technical information it contains should be
maintained and reviewed periodically by the SJCOG and participating jurisdictions as
necessary to ensure its accuracy and to enable the adequate programming of funding
sources. To the extent that improvement requirements, costs, or development potential
changes over time, the RTIF program will need to be updated.
The proposed RTIF program fee, if approved, will need to be enabled through adoption
by participating jurisdictions of a new Ordinance or Resolution. The enabling
Ordinance would allow the jurisdiction to adopt, by Resolution, a fee schedule
consistent with supporting technical analysis and findings. The Resolution approach to
setting the fee allows periodic adjustments of the fee amount that may be necessary over
time, without amending the enabling Ordinance.

Draft Technical Report
San Joaquin Regional Transportation Impact Fee
October 24, 2005
SUMMARY OF MAXIMUM AND PROPOSED FEES
A summary of the maximum fees calculated in this RTIF Technical Report by land use
category are provided in Table 1 and summarized below. Because of insufficient data
on office growth projection, office category is included as part of the
commercial/industrial category.
• $2,512 per single-family unit
• $1,542 per multifamily unit
• $4.65 per retail square foot
• $2.13 per commercial/industrial square foot
The fees shown above represent the maximum fee that can be charged based on the
nexus findings described in this Report. These fees are calculated to generate sufficient
revenue to cover the RTIF capital facility costs associated with new development in the
County. Participating jurisdictions may as a matter of policy decide to charge a fee
below the maximum fee for any or all of the land uses. However, the revenue shortfall
to the RTIF program that would result from reducing the fees must be made up by other
non-RTIF revenue sources. Specifically, the fee levels for certain land uses cannot be
raised to cover revenue shortfalls that result from lowering the fees on other land uses.
SICOG in conjunction with participating agencies have proposed to charge a fee below
the maximum amount legally allowed based on the nexus calculations presented above.
A comparison between the maximum RT1F fee and the proposed RTIF fee is presented
in Table 1 of this report.
The fee reduction is based on key stakeholders (i.e., developers, elected officials,
city/county officials) goal to mitigate the impact new growth has on the regional
transportation system as well as continue to foster economic development, job creation,
and sales tax generation. The proposed fees represent a consensus reached by the
region's leaders based on the analysis of economic drivers pertinent to the San Joaquin
region.
IMPLEMENTATION AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
ANNUAL REVIEW
AB 1600 (at Gov. C. §§ 66001(c), 66006(b)(1)) stipulates that each local agency that
requires payment of a fee make specific information available to the public annually
within 180 days of the last day of the fiscal year. This information includes the
following:

• A description of the type of fee in the account.
• The amount of the fee.
• The beginning and ending balance of the fund.
• The amount of fees collected and interest earned.
• Identification of the improvements constructed.
• The total cost of the improvements constructed.
• The fees expended to construct the improvement
• The percent of total costs funded by the fee.
If sufficient fees have been collected to fund the construction of an improvement, the
agency must specify the approximate date for construction of that improvement.
Because of the dynamic nature of growth and infrastructure requirements, participating
jurisdictions and the SJCOG should monitor development activity, the need for
infrastructure improvements, and the adequacy of the fee revenues and other available
funding. Formal annual review of the CFF program should occur, at which time
adjustments should be made. Costs associated with this monitoring and updating effort
can be included in the RTIF program.
SURPLUS FUNDS
AB 1600 also requires that if any portion of a fee remains unexpended or uncommitted
in an account for five years or more after deposit of the fee, the City Council shall make
findings once each year: (1) to identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put (2) to
demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it was
charged, (3) to identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete
financing of incomplete improvements, and (4) to designate the approximate dates on
which the funding identified in (3) is expected to be deposited into the appropriate fund
(§66001(d)).
If adequate funding has been collected for a certain improvement, an approximate date
must be specified as to when construction on the improvement will begin. If the
findings show no need for the unspent funds, or if the conditions discussed above are
not met, and the administrative costs of the refund do not exceed the refund itself, the
local agency that has collected the funds must refund them (Gov. C §66001(e)(f)):
SECURING SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING
The RTIF program identifies $561 million in capital projects that can be funded in full or
in part by impact fee revenue. However, the RT1F revenue generated is itself not
sufficient or appropriate for funding the full amount of the RTIF capital projects
identified in this Technical Report. For example, out of the $561 million in RTIF capital
projects, approximately $128 million can be attributable to trips that originate or end
outside the San Joaquin Region. The new facility costs attributable to these "external
trips" cannot be covered by impact fee revenue. In addition, the SJCOG Board may
4 PA 15000s115040RT1FlReportlnexasstdyfrW102405.d"
Dray Technical Report
San Joaquin Regional Transportation Impact Fee
October 24, 2005
approve fee levels that are lower than the maximum amount allowed based on the
nexus analysis, further reducing the revenue available to the RTIF program. Thus, to
fully implement the RTIF program, the SJCOG will have to obtain funding and pay for
improvements not covered by impact fee revenue. Examples of such sources include
Measure K funds; CALTRANS funding; and other local, State and federal sources.
Ultimately, funding for the entire cost of the RTTF program must be identified and
allocated during the life of the RTTF program.

II. RTIF GROWTH PROJECTIONS
The RTIF program fee is a one-time fee levied on new development at a rate
proportional to its demand for transportation capital improvements. Thus, a forecast of
new development in the San Joaquin Region is required to calculate the fee. This
Chapter documents the land use growth assumptions used to calculate the RTIF
program fee. Specifically, it describes the amount of residential, retail, and
commercial/industrial land use development expected to occur in San Joaquin Region
through the year 2030. These estimates are used for the following primary purposes in
the fee calculation:
Estimates of existing and future development are used to evaluate future traffic
levels and determine the need for transportation improvements in the San Joaquin
Region.
• Estimates of future development are used to allocate the costs of required
transportation improvements and ultimately to calculate a fee per unit of new
growth.
The following sections describe the development projections and the key assumptions
underlying them.
TIME HORIZON
The time horizon for an impact fee program is important because it determines the type
and amount of transportation improvements that will be included in the fee program as
well as the level of growth these improvements will serve. A longer time horizon will
result in more transportation improvements being included in the RTIF program fee
because of the added traffic demands from the increased population and jobs that will
occur by that future date. A shorter time horizon typically reduces the number of
improvements in the RTIF program fee because it includes only those improvements
needed to accommodate a lower level of population and employment growth.
There are two ways that the time interval can be set in an impact fee analysis. One
approach is to consider all improvements needed through the "build out" of a
community's General Plan. Another approach is to establish a future date, typically
before "build out" occurs, which is consistent with forecast data or improvement cycles.
Both techniques are used in impact fee technical reports.
This Technical Report is based on a time horizon that ends in the year 2030. This
corresponds to the timeframe used in the Regional Transportation. Plan {RTP} which
specifies the priority transportation projects in the San Joaquin Region, as approved by
SJCOG. The timeframe also corresponds to the household and employment projections
available for use in this Report, as further described below.

GROWTH PROJECTIONS
The regional household and employment projections, provided by SJCOG, form the
basis for developing growth forecasts by land use category. Specifically, household
growth projections are used to estimate future residential development, whereas
employment growth projections are used to estimate future retail and
commercial/industrial development. The household and employment projections used
in this Report are based on standard methodology developed in the 2030 Regional
Transportation Plan, which is adopted throughout the San Joaquin Region. Table 2
summarizes the projection data.
For employment projections, approximately 350 square feet per retail employee and 700
square feet for all other employment categories are assumed to estimate the
commercial/industrial development. In addition, an average vacancy rate of 7 percent
for retail and commercial/industrial space is also assumed. The allocation of
employment into retail and commercial/industrial land use categories is based on the
historical employment proportions reported in data approved by the SJCOG.
DWELLING UNIT EQUIVALENTS
This analysis relies on Dwelling Unit Equivalent (DUE) factors to compare and evaluate
future development across land use categories. Specifically, DUE factors compare
residential, retail, and commercial/industrial land uses to one another based on their
vehicle trip generation rates in order to develop a common metric for analysis. The
factors used to convert residential, commercial/industrial, and retail growth into DUEs
are shown in Table 3, and are based on standard assumptions regarding trip generation
and trip diversion.; The DUE factors are then used to calculate total DUE growth by
land use, as shown in Table 4.
I Assumptions based on data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (PTE) Trip Generation Model
(b+h Edition) and the San Diego Council of Governments (SANDAG) Brief Guide to Vehicular Traffic
Generation Rates, July 1998.

Ill. RTIF CAPITAL PROJECTS AND COSTS
This chapter documents the transportation improvements included in the RTIF capital
project list and their corresponding costs. The RTIF Master Project List was selected
based on the inclusion criteria described herein and refined based on funding need. The
eligible RTIF capital project list includes all the projects that are assumed to be funded,
in full or in part, by RTIF revenue.
RTIF PROJECT INCLUSION CRITERIA
The road and transit projects proposed for funding by the RTIF are included in an initial
RTIF Master Project List. The RTIF project list is composed of improvements that fall on
the "RTIF Network", a unified system of roadways, transit linkages, and other
transportation facilities that confer benefits upon development throughout the County.
This network is illustrated in Figure 1. The RTIF Network was developed and defined
as part of the RTIF planning and policy formulation process?
While an initial RTIF Master Project List has been established as part of this Technical
Report, it is recognized that the list of transportation projects may need to be amended
over time as circumstances change. As a result, during the RTIF planning process a
number of screening criteria were considered and evaluated as a method for selecting
the type of projects that would possibly be funded by RTIF revenue. These screening
criteria are designed to distinguish projects where the nexus with new development
throughout the San Joaquin Region is strong. It is the adherence to the screening criteria
that assures that the required "nexus" findings and other requirements of Government
Code Section 66000 et seq. are respected.
In order to be included in the RTIF Master Project List, Highway Widening, Interchange
and Local Roadway Improvement projects must meet all of the following criteria:
A. All projects must be part of the RTIF Network;
B. All projects must be scheduled for delivery within the time horizon of the
nexus analysis; and3
C. All projects, except interchange improvements, must involve a capacity
improvement of one or more through travel or passing lanes, or auxiliary lanes
(i.e., turn lanes).
2 The RTIF Network is based on the Congestion Management Program (CMP) network of major facilities of
regional significance and supplemented with additional major arterials that serve inter -community travel in
San Joaquin County.
3 All RTIF highway widening, interchange, regional roadway, and public transit projects must be identified
in the S1COG Board adopted RTIF project list and Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) prior to delivery. The
current time horizon for the RTP is 2005 - 2030.

Drat Ted miaal Report
San Joaquin Regional Transportation Impact Fee
October 24, 2005
In order to be included in the RTIF Master Project List, all Public Transit projects must
satisfy the following criteria: 4
A. All projects must be scheduled for delivery within the time horizon of the
nexus analysis; and
B. All projects must involve an improvement to an existing or new service/facility
which connects at least two or more cities or regions.
The RTIF nexus fee is based on a combination of highway widening, interchange, and
regional roadway projects. The RTIF Master Project List is further refined to ensure that
appropriate projects receive necessary funding to complete delivery. These projects were
selected from the RTIF Master Project List based on the following-
A.
ollowing
A. Currently identified in Tier I of the RTP;
B. Regional roadway and interchange projects that are in Tier I of the RTP and/or
are Measure K Renewal projects; and,
C. All remaining regional roadway projects which fall on the current SJCOGBoard
adopted Regional Transportation Network.
A description of the master and eligible RTIF projects and costs are provided in Table 5.
CHANGES TO RTIF MASTER PROJECT LIST
As needs and priorities change over time, on a semi-annual basis, a jurisdiction can
exchange any one of their RTIF projects from the RTIF Master Project List with one or
more of their projects in Tier I of the RTP. This level of flexibility is intended to help
jurisdictions adapt to changes in funding availability and transportation priorities.
However, the following conditions need to be met to secure an exchange:
+ RTP meets air quality conformity requirements;
The projects are categorized in Tier I of the RTP. Tier I RTP projects are priority
projects for which funding sources have been identified; and,
• RTIF nexus requirements are maintained.
4 Examples of regional transit projects include: (a) capital purchase of rolling stock; (b) bus shelters and
associated amenities; and, (c) multi -modal stations and associated amenities.

ALLOCATION OF ELIGIBLE RTIF COSTS
RTIF funds represent one source of funding. These funds, combined with other local,
state and federal funds ensure the complete delivery of the RTIF transportation project.
Based on the multiple funding mechanisms, the following rationale was used to allocate
net RTIF costs to fiscally constrain the projects and establish the nexus:
A. RTIF Projects currently in Tier I of the RTP - RTIF gross project costs were
compared to the costs programmed in the RTP. The cost differentials between
the RTIF/Tier I RTP projects were offset with net eligible RTIF costs.
B. Regional roadway/interchange projects in Tier I of the RTP and/or MK
Renewal - These projects have multiple funding mechanisms and will require
RTIF funds to ensure delivery. As part of the nexus, 23 percent of the gross
project costs were used not to exceed the eligible RTIF net project costs.
C. Remaining regional roadway projects - Nexus fee includes full RTIF costs
attributable to new development for all remaining Regional Roadway Projects
which fall on the adopted Regional Transportation Network.
The impact of this cost allocation is summarized in Table 5. As shown, there are 120
separate RTIF projects with an estimated total capital cost of about $5.4 billion. Of the
total, 48 RTIF projects with a total cost of $561 million were selected for purposes of
calculating the fee amount. This amount reflects to proportion of the projects for which
funding sources have not yet been identified. The cost estimates are based on the best
information available at the time of this Report. To the extent that this project list and/or
the corresponding cost estimates are updated, the maximum fee amount will change
accordingly.

IV. RTIF MODEL AND FEE CALCULATION
This chapter describes the modeling techniques used to identify eligible transportation
projects and calculate the fee for the RTIF program. The fee is based on the RTIF capital
project list costs attributable to new growth within the San Joaquin Region divided by
projected development by land use category in the region.
TRANSPORTATION MODEL
This Technical Report relies on the SJCOG travel demand model, a regional model used
to conduct long-range planning and assess transportation impacts of major development
projects in the County. The model has recently been updated, and was used in
preparing the 2030 RTP. Therefore, the model is the best tool available for conducting a
project such as the RTIF Report. The SJCOG model contains land use estimates for the
year 2005, and projections for the year 2030. Both the 2005 and 2030 models were used
in the RTIF Report.
EXISTING DEFICIENCIES
As noted in Chapter III, the RTIF program excludes the proportion of a project cost that
are attributable in whole or in part to correct "existing deficiencies" or pre-existing
problems in the regional transportation system. Consequently, the transportation model
was used to identify existing deficiencies in the RTIF Network. Specifically, the 2005
model was applied, and the Level of Service (LOS) of each facility in the network was
assessed. Traffic volume thresholds for LOS calculation purposes were provided by
SJCOG staff. These thresholds were based on the standard highway capacity tables
prepared by the Florida Department of Transportation, and have been used in the
preparation of the 2030 SJCOG RTP and other regional planning documents.
The operational standard for roads in the San Joaquin Region is LOS D. Therefore, all
facilities that were estimated to operate at LOS E or F during the AM peak hour in the
2005 model were designated as having existing deficiencies. Any improvements
designed to correct the deficiencies in the RTIF Network have been adjusted to exclude
the portion that is attributable to existing deficiencies.
Because of limitations in the analytical methods available, no existing deficiency analysis
was conducted for interchange; rather, it was assumed that these improvements were to
be supported entirely by new development.
TRAFFIC CONTRIBUTION
The total amount of traffic on each facility is broken down into two components: the
traffic coming from or going to areas inside the San Joaquin Region (called "Internal
Trips") and the traffic corning from or going to areas outside the Region (called
19 PA15000sV5040RifF%Report%nexusstdyfina1102405.dot
Draft Technical Report
San Joaquin Regional Transportation Impact Fee
October 24, 2005
"External Trips"). These External Trips are not the responsibility of the new
development within San Joaquin Region, and thus need to be excluded from the fee
calculation. This analysis was done on the basis of trip ends; therefore, the so-called I -X
and X -I trips (trips that have one end in the region and one end outside the region) were
considered to be one-half attributable to Internal Trips, and one-half attributable to
External Trips.
The difference in total traffic volume on each project between 2005 and 2030 was
calculated, and became the denominator of the traffic contribution ratio. The difference
in volume associated with each of the categories described above was also calculated,
and these became the numerators of the calculation. For example, if total traffic on a
particular facility increased by 1,000 vehicles between 2005 and 2030, and if the traffic
attributable to the San Joaquin Region area increased by 200 vehicles, then the percent
contribution to that facility within the region would be 200/1,000 or 20 percent. The
remaining 80 percent of the growth in traffic would be similarly calculated from the
External Trips.
The trip distribution between inside and outside of the San Joaquin Region for all the
RTIF projects is shown in Table 6. The values in Internal and External Trips should sum
to 1.0, or 100 percent, for each RTIF project. With the External Trips screened out, Table
7 also shows the net RTIF project costs by multiplying the Internal Trips factors by the
total project costs.
PUBLIC TRANSIT CONTRIBUTION
The total share of the public transit costs is determined by new development within the
San Joaquin Region. Specifically, the total public transit share is calculated by
multiplying the incremental DUE growth as a percent of the total DUE in 2030. Between
2005 and 2030, the DUE in the San Joaquin Region is estimated to increase by 163,319, as
illustrated in Table 4. The new growth would contribute approximately 30 percent of
the total DUE in 2030. As shown in Table 6, $8.7 million of the public transit costs is
supported by the RTO program.
MAXIMUM FEE CALCULATION
The maximum fee calculation is based on the net RTIF capital project costs attributable
to the Internal Trips throughout the region divided by the projected number of new
housing units, retail and commercial/industrial square feet developed in the County
through year 2030. Specifically, the net RTIF capital project cost is divided by the total
DUE growth, as calculated in Table 4, to obtain total cost per DUE for the San Joaquin
Region as a whole.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE PROGRAM
OPERATING AGREEMENT
THIS REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE PROGRAM OPERATING
AGREEMENT ("Agreement") dated as of the Effective Date is made by and between the San
Joaquin Council of Governments ("SJCOG"), and the following eight public agencies located
within San Joaquin County (collectively the "Participating Agencies"), including, the County of
San Joaquin ("County"), the City of Escalon ("Escalon"), the City of Manteca ("Manteca"), the
City of Lathrop ("Lathrop"), the City of Lodi ("Lodi") the City of Ripon ("Ripon") the City of
Stockton ("Stockton"), and the City of Tracy ("Tracy") (the identified cities are hereinafter
collectively the "Cities").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, SJCOG has the responsibility as the region's designated Metropolitan Planning
Organization and through its powers as specified in its joint powers agreement to maintain and
improve the Regional Transportation Network, and
WHEREAS, the Participating Agencies and SJCOG find that future development within the
County of San Joaquin will result in traffic volumes in excess of capacity on a regional system of
highways, interchanges, and local roadways; and,
WHEREAS, the Participating Agencies and SJCOG find that failure to expand the capacity of
the existing circulation system will cause unacceptable levels of congestion on the Regional
Transportation Network; and,
WHEREAS, the Participating Agencies and SJCOG find that existing and future sources of
revenue are inadequate to fund substantial portions of the Regional Transportation Network
improvements needed to avoid unacceptable levels of congestion and related adverse impacts;
and,
WHEREAS, SJCOG, following extensive analysis and consultations with the Participating
Agencies and other stakeholders, has prepared a Regional Transportation Impact Program Fee
Technical Report ("RTIF Technical Report") that establishes a nexus between new development
and its impacts (increased travel demand, reductions in service levels, and the need for capital
improvements) upon the Regional Transportation Network; and,
WHEREAS, the Participating Agencies and SJCOG find and declare that the RTIF Technical
Report has determined the extent to which new development of land will generate traffic
volumes impacting the Regional Transportation Network and have determined that the Regional
Transportation Impact Fee Program ("RTIF Program") establishes a fair and equitable method to
fund costs of transportation improvements necessary to accommodate the traffic volumes
generated by future development of land within each City and the County; and,
356601-10
October 27, 2005
RTIF Operating Agreement
WHEREAS, the Participating Agencies and SJCOG find and declare that the RTIF Program is
necessary to help mitigate the impact of new development on the Regional Transportation
Network and along with other transportation funding mechanisms, in providing for the
construction of improvements to accommodate traffic generated by land development; and,
WHEREAS, the Participating Agencies and SJCOG have determined that it is in their best
interest to join together to administer the funds provided by the RTIF Program and to authorize
SJCOG to manage the RTIF Program for the San Joaquin County region; and,
WHEREAS, the Participating Agencies and SJCOG find and declare that in order to serve the
purposes described herein, additional funding, other than that received from the RTIF Program is
necessary and must be obtained and each party agrees to cooperate in obtaining additional
funding; and,
WHEREAS, the Participating Agencies and SJCOG find and declare SJCOG prepared, adopted

RTIF DRAFT MODEL ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL [BOARD OF SUPERVISORS] OF THE
CITY OF [COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN]
ADDING CHAPTER _ TO THE [name of jurisdiction] CODE ESTABLISHING THE
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE PROGRAM
The City Council [Board of Supervisors] of the City of [County of San
Joaquin] does ordain as follows:
Section 1. The Board of Supervisors/City Council has been informed and advised, and
hereby finds, that future development within San Joaquin County and the cities therein will result
in traffic volumes exceeding the capacity of the regional network of highways and arterials
identified within the Regional Transportation Network as it presently exists.
The Board of Supervisors/City Council has been further informed and advised, and
hereby finds, that if the capacity of the Regional Transportation Network is not improved, the
result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of San Joaquin County, with unacceptable
levels of service throughout San Joaquin County by 2025. Reduced transportation service levels
will result in traffic congestion and related impacts upon air quality, economic development, and
quality of life.
The Board of Supervisors/City Council has been further informed and advised, and
hereby finds, that absent an RTIF Program, existing funding sources, including federal, State,
and local sources, will be inadequate to construct the Regional Transportation Network needed to
avoid the unacceptable levels of traffic congestion and related adverse impacts.
The County/City is a member agency of the San Joaquin Council of Governments
("SJCOG"), a joint powers agency consisting of the County of San Joaquin and the seven cities
situated in San Joaquin County. Acting in concert, the member agencies of SJCOG developed
the RTIF Program whereby the shortfall in funds needed to expand the capacity of the Regional
Transportation Network could be made up in part by a Regional Transportation Impact Fee
("RTIF Program Fee") on future residential and non-residential development. As a member
agency of SJCOG, the County/City participated in the preparation of the "San Joaquin County
Regional Transportation Impact Fee RTIF Technical Report", dated October 27, 2005, and
prepared pursuant to California Government Code, Section 66000 et seq., the Mitigation Fee Act
(the "RTIF Technical Report").
The Board of Supervisors/City Council has reviewed the RTIF Technical Report, and
hereby finds that future development within the County and cities will substantially adversely
affect the Regional Transportation Network, and that unless such development contributes to the
cost of improving the Regional Transportation Network, the Regional Transportation Network
will operate at unacceptable levels of service. Adoption of a Regional Transportation Impact Fee
Program, which establishes a RTIF Program Fee, and related cooperation with SJCOG to fund
regional transportation improvements will augment other funding sources and help assure that
needed improvements to the Regional Transportation Network are completed.
October 27, 2005
388888-9
The Board of Supervisors/City Council hereby finds and determines that the failure to
mitigate growing traffic impacts on the Regional Transportation Network within San Joaquin
County will substantially impair the ability of public safety services, including police and fire, to
respond, reduce air quality, and negatively affect economic development and the overall quality
of life in the region. As a result, the failure to mitigate impacts on the Regional Transportation
Network will adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare.
The Board of Supervisors/City Council further finds and determines that there is a
reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the RTIF Program Fees 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 projects on which the RTIF Program
Fee will be levied.
The Board of Supervisors/City Council further finds and determines that there is a
reasonable and rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional
Transportation Network and the type of development projects on which the RTIF Program Fee is
imposed because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such projects
to have access to the Regional Transportation Network. Such development will benefit from the
Regional Transportation Network improvements and the impact of such development will be
mitigated in part by the payment of the RTIF Program Fees.
The Board of Supervisors/City Council further finds and determines that the cost
estimates set forth in the RTIF Technical Report are reasonable cost estimates for constructing
the identified Regional Transportation Network improvements and projects ("RTIF Capital
Projects" or "Capital Projects") and that the amount of the RTIF Program Fee expected to be
generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to such development.
The fees collected pursuant to this Ordinance shall be used to help pay for the
construction and acquisition of the Regional Transportation Network improvements identified in
the RTIF Technical Report as the "RTIF Project List" or "RTIF Capital Projects". The need for
the improvements is related to new development because such development generates additional
traffic thus creating the demand for the improvements.
The Board of Supervisors/City Council finds that the RTIF Technical Report establishes
a fair and equitable method for distributing a portion of the unfunded costs of improvements to
the Regional Transportation Network.
The Board of Supervisors/City Council hereby adopts the RTIF Technical Report.
Section 2. Chapter is hereby added to the [insert name of jurisdiction] Code to
read in full as follows:
