The reduction was the result of a determination, by the Public Works Department, that the initial fee was not based on the primary use of the property, and that the applicant was warranted the reduction. A The applicant submitted an additional_ appeal and stated that the method of assessment was not equitable and requested the fee be reduced to about$6,000.00 based on criteria from the Institute of Traffic Engineers and Caltrans.

As provided in the attached materials, two classifications are used for residential development, P five for commercial, and two for industrial development. At the Public Hearing of January 5, 1993, reference was made, by the applicant, to the fees calculated for two projects recently proposed in the vicinity.
