§ 26-98-600. Purpose of countywide traffic development fee.

In order to implement the goals and objectives of the general plan, including the circulation and transit element of that general plan, and to mitigate the traffic impacts caused by new development in Sonoma County, certain public roadway improvements must be constructed to insure a safe and efficient level of service. The board of supervisors has determined that a countywide development impact fee is needed in order to finance these public improvements and to pay for the development's fair share of the construction cost of these improvements. In establishing the fee described in the following sections, the board of supervisors has found the fee to be consistent with its general plan and, pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.2, has considered the effects of the fee with respect to the county's housing needs as established in the housing element of the general plan.
