Box 53110 San Jose, ' CA 95153-0110 Re: Fruit Growers Supply Company, Colton, California Dear Charlie, As you requested, this is a recommendation regarding an appropriate traffic mitigation fee for the proposed Fruit Growers Supply Company warehouse in Colton, California. My understanding is that the Colton Public Works Department has determined the fee to be $30,520 based upon the segregation of the warehouse floor space from the lobby/display area and offices, with the application of corresponding traffic mitigation fees for each of these separate building areas. The City's calculations are summarized as follows. Warehouse and pallet shed = 15,440 s.f. x 0.50 = $ 7,720.00 Display = 4,800 s.f. x 4.00 = 19,200.00 Office = 2,400 s.f. x 1.5 = 3,600.00 TOTAL 22,640 s.f. TOTAL $30.520.00 I believe it is more appropriate to assess the entire project based upon the industrial storage rate included in the attached "City of Colton Calculation of Fee for Each Land Use and Projected Revenue" (Attachment 1). The project has a total building size of 22,640 square feet. Applying a fee of $500 per 1,000 square feet results in a total fee of $11,320. The reason it is appropriate to assess the project based upon one land use category for the entire project is that the apparent trip generation rate for the industrial storage category used to establish this fee is actually higher than standard warehouse trip generation rates documented by the Institute of Transportation Engineers and Caltrans. It, therefore, more than compensates for any ancillary floor space proposed for Fruit Growers Supply Company. This is documented in the following discussion. Apparently the City of Colton is charging a fee of $60 per daily trip. This is based upon single—family residences being charged $600 per residence. The typical trip generation rate for single—family development is 10 trip ends per day per dwelling unit. Dividing the $600 per dwelling unit fee by 10 trip ends results in $60 per daily trip. With the industrial storage category being charged a rate of $500 per 1,000 square feet, and a rate per daily trip of $60, the assumed trip generation rate for industrial storage is 8.33 trips per day per 1,000 square feet.
