A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA REGARDING
PARTICIPATION IN THE TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE (TUMF).
WHEREAS, the City of San Jacinto recognizes significant growth in
western Riverside County is projected to occur; and
WHEREAS, the long term forecast of western Riverside County includes
an additional 1 ,700,000 people, 580,000 households, and 840,000 employees;
and
WHEREAS, the future development within the western county sub region
over the long term will result in traffic volumes in excess of capacity which will
adversely impact the existing regional system of highways and arterials; and
WHEREAS, failure to improve capacity will cause unacceptable levels of
service to occur throughout the regional transportation system; and
WHEREAS, a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee imposed on new
development to mitigate transportation impacts will provide a funding source to
N%W construct additional transportation infrastructure which has regional benefit; and
WHEREAS, the TUMF will be a fair share and equitable method for
distributing the unfunded cost of the transportation improvements needed to
accommodate the future traffic generated by new development and is subject to
an AB 1600 study, and
WHEREAS, absent a regional TUMF imposing a fair share traffic impact
fee on new development, existing and known future sources of revenue will be
inadequate to improve substantial portions of the circulation system needed to
avoid unacceptable levels of congestion and related adverse impacts; and
WHEREAS, the TUMF will supplement other revenue generated and
dedicated for transportation including state, federal and the reauthorization of
Measure "A" sales tax.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of San Jacinto
acknowledges the importance of funding critical regional infrastructure and
transportation improvements necessary to accommodate future growth and
preserve the quality of life for current and future residents, and endorses the
need for a TUMF to be adopted by the jurisdictions within western Riverside
County and;
..r
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT this resolution constitutes
conceptual approval regarding participation in the TUMF program for western
Riverside County, and the City of San Jacinto recognizes that formal
commitment to participate in the TUMF is subject to the final approval of the
... TUMF Ordinance and implementation Agreement by the City
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED, this 17th day of January
2002.
