A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION
FEE (TUMF) APPLICABLE TO ALL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY OF SAN
JACINTO
WHEREAS, the City is a Member Agency of the Western Riverside Council of
Governments ('WRCOG"), a joint powers agency consisting of the City, the County of
Riverside, and the thirteen Cities situated in Western Riverside County. Acting in
concert, the Member Agencies of WRCOG developed a plan whereby the shortfall in
funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials
in Western Riverside County (the "Regional System") could be made up in part by a
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee on future residential, commercial and industrial
development. A map depicting the boundaries of Western Riverside County and the
system is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof. As a Member Agency
of WRCOG, the City participated in the preparation of a certain "Western Riverside
County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study', dated October 18, 2002
("2002 Nexus Study") prepared pursuant to California Government Code, Section 66000
et seq., the Mitigation Fee Act. Based on this nexus study, the City adopted and
implemented Ordinance No. 03-03 authorizing its participation in a Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee Program; and
WHEREAS, WRCOG with the assistance of its member agencies have now
prepared an updated "Western Riverside County Transportation Fee Nexus Study"
("Nexus Study") pursuant to California Government Code Section 66000 et seq., the
Mitigation Fee Act for the purpose of updating the fees imposed by Ordinance No. 03-
03; and
WHEREAS, consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of
Ordinance No. 03-03, the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby
finds, that future development within Western Riverside County and the Cities therein
will result in traffic volumes exceeding the capacity of the Regional System as it
presently exists; and
WHEREAS, consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of
Ordinance No. 03-03, the City Council has been further informed and advised, and
hereby finds, that if the capacity of the Regional System is not enlarged, the result will
be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County and the City,
with unacceptable Levels of Service throughout Western Riverside County by 2030; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has been further advised, and so finds that funding,
in addition to those fees adopted pursuant to the 2002 Nexus Study, will be inadequate
to fund construction of the Regional System. Absent an update of the "Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee" ("TUMF") based on the Nexus Study, existing and known future
