BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The new development impact mitigation fees became effective in November 1991, and with the exemptions granted to "projects in progress" and the lag in my residential development with the growth management plan, the initial projects paying the fees are those for which a pvbl is improvement fee agreement was signed as part of the annexation for the property. Unfortunately, these have been the most difficult to calculate as they involve commercial projects that do not clearly fit the standard fee categories. The most significant problem involves the first phase of the mw shopping center at the southwest corner of Kettleman Lane (Highway 12) and Lower Sacramento Road (Sunwest Plaza/Wal-Mart). The land has a general plan designation of "neighborhood commercial". The City's fee schedule shows a total mitigation fee of $41,280 per acre for this type of project. However, the DR for this project indicated traffic generation comparable to that of "general commercial" land which, if applied, would add an additional $10,510 per acre. With this documentation, staff was prepared to add this fee to the project. The developers objected to this, citing the published fee schedule, and also asked for downwatd adjustments based on the service demands of the Wal-Mart store that comprise the first phase of the project. The impact fee ordinance (Section 15:64.120) allows such adjustments to be made by the Public Works Director and provides an appeal process to the Council. Given the confusion over the published fee schedule, staff feels it is reasonable that the fees for this project not exceed those shown on the schedule and asks for Council direction on this. To avoid future confusion, vie are evaluating modifications to the schedule, probably by adding a "shopping center" category. W will bring this to the Council early next year. In the interim, vie have added a note to the schedule as shown in Exhibit A. Also, th2 requested downwatrl adjustments are in line with the ordinance and ca;) be handled by staff. APPROVED. THOMASA.

COM) December 17, 1991 Sunwest Plaza Shopping Center (Wal-Mart) December 18, 1991 Page 2 Along with the adjustments, the developers have also requested credits for various public improvements they are making as part of their project. Most of these are already authorized by City ordinance and include oversize water main and major crossing credits, master storm drains and portions of street widening cn Lower Sacramento Road. These will be included in their public improvement agreement as fee credits. They have also requested some credit for excess widening on Highway 12 and the cost of the signal- relocation at Highway 12 and Lower Sacramento Road. Although this work was not included as a "project" in the impact fee program, the partici�p ation in the cost of widening is appropriate due to the excess width as defined in the ruv public improvement reimbursement ordinance. Similarly, the signal work was not included, however, with the City participation in the widening cost and the fact that the signal was installed by the State and the County, without utilizing the available R/W, staff feels a credit is appropriate. With Counci approval staff will include this widening and signal work as a fee credit (approximately $90,000). dote that all of these credits are funded from the various impact fee funds. The total net impact fees for the Wal-Mart portion (12.5 acres, 120,000 SF building) including all the adjustments and credits discussed above, will be approximately $350,000. In summary, staff is requesting approval on the following:: 1) Using the neighborhood commercial rate for street impact fees on this project. 211 Incluaing the excess widening cn Highway 12 and s final relocation mirk at the intersection of tower Sacramento Road and Highway 12 i r the list of impact fee projects. This will al (v fee credits for this work done by the developers. FUNDING: Impact fee funds. L. Ronsko is Works Director Prepared by Richard C.
