STAFF REPORTS: CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: There were no reports. CORRESPONDENCE: Traffic Impact Fees Commercial Development - Washington St & Meadow Lane With a study of the City's traffic impact fees pending, Redevelopment Director Robb Steel reviewed the method used for traffic impact fees applicable to the proposed commercial development project (21/2 to 3 acres, 17,620 square feet) at Washington and Meadow Lane. In the instant case two points were raised: (1) Determine reasonable traffic impact fees and (2) determine any credit for prior improvements. In using the existing traffic impact fee schedule, the fee was $900,000. Following comparisons with major municipal competitors (Rialto, Fontana and San Bernardino), the fee was reduced to $200,000 and for the proposed development, based on the square footage and uses, the estimated fee was determined to be $63,173. Finally, based on current information, from the applicant, the proposed applicable fee was fixed at $43,293. On the second issue regarding credit adjustment in the sum of $37,500, following its study, Staff conducted recommended that no credit be granted for prior public improvements. Director Steel stated the matter would be reconsidered if any substantive documentation was presented to warrant credit. Doug Shackelton, Weldon L. Brown, and Manooch Khambeigi spoke in favor of this item. MOTION/VOTE: After discussion, motion made by CM Chastain, seconded by CM Bennett, to approve Staffs recommendation, specifically, Item No. 1 to conceptually agree to establish the traffic impact fee in accordance with the schedule (formula) outlined in Exhibit C and to apply a 10% credit to offset that number.
