§ 26-98-620. Amount of roadway improvement fund.

(a)

The development fee required for roadway improvements shall be apportioned among residential, commercial, industrial and institutional use.

(b)

The development fee amount is based upon the report of the transportation and public works director dated January 1991, February 1992, and subsequent reports, and the Sonoma County general plan.

The development fee shall be:

Three hundred ninety-one dollars ($391.00) per trip for residential uses; and

One hundred nineteen dollars ($119.00) per trip for commercial uses; and

One hundred nine dollars ($109.00) per trip for industrial/institutional uses.

(c)

The total fee payable for residential, commercial and industrial/institutional uses shall be computed by multiplying the number of estimated new average daily trips generated by the proposed project times the fee per trip.

(d)

Calculation of New Average Daily Trips.

(1)

The most recently issued trip generation manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers shall be used to determine the average daily trips for each proposed use.

(2)

If a project alters or replaces an existing legal project on the same parcel, the number of average daily trips generated by the existing legal project will be deducted to determine the net increase in average daily trips. The fee assessment will be based on the net increase in average daily trips for a particular site.

Example: for a general retail use of four thousand (4,000) square feet, replacing existing uses generating twenty (20) average daily trips, the fee would be:

48 trips/MSF × 4 MSF	= +192	gross trips (MSF = Thousand Square Feet)
20 existing trips	= - 20
31 passby trips	= - 31
_____
Net New Trips	= 141	new trips
141 New Trips × $119/Trip	= $16,779

 

(e)

Individual nonresidential uses permitted by the land use plan other than in commercial, industrial and institutional land use categories shall have roadway improvement fees assigned based upon recommendations from the county department of transportation and public works.
