A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
JACINTO AMENDING THE APPLICABLE TRANSPORTATION
UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE (TUMF) APPLICABLE TO ALL
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO
WHEREAS, the City of San Jacinto (“City”) is a member agency of the Western Riverside
Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside
and eighteen cities located in Western Riverside County; and
WHEREAS, the member agencies of WRCOG recognized that there was insufficient
funding to address the impacts of new development on the regional system of highways and
arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”); and
WHEREAS, in order to address this shortfall, the member agencies formulated a plan
whereby a transportation mitigation fee would be assessed on new development and would be
used to fund the necessary improvements for the Regional System; and
WHEREAS, WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Participating Jurisdictions, prepared
an updated nexus study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024
Update” (“2024 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq.
(the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees; and
WHEREAS, in September 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024
Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend
their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of
construction in order to update the TUMF Program; and
WHEREAS, consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Ordinance No.
24-14, the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that if the capacity of
the Regional System is not enlarged and unless development contributes to the cos t of improving
the Regional System, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western
Riverside County, with unacceptable Levels of Service. Furthermore, the failure to mitigate
growing traffic impacts on the Regional System will substantially impair the ability of public safety
services (police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and
welfare. Therefore, continuation of a TUMF Program is essential; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational
relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees
are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are
necessary for the safety, health, and welfare of the residential and non -residential users of the
development in which the TUMF will be levied; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational
relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional System and the type of
development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the
residential and non-residential users of such projects to have access to the Regional system.

Resolution No. 4115
Such development will benefit from the Regional System improvements and the burden of such
developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the
new 2024 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Regional System
improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional System, and that the amoun t of
the TUMF expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost
to such development; and
WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to the TUMF Ordinance shall be used to help pay
for the design, planning, construction of and real property acquisition for the Regional System
improvements and its facilities as identified in the 2024 Nexus Study. The need f or the
improvements and facilities is related to new development because such development results in
additional traffic and creates the demand for the improvements; and
WHEREAS, by notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place
for a public hearing on the 2024 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder and at least ten
(10) days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 2024 Nexus Study availab le to the public;
and
WHEREAS, at the time and place set for the hearing, the City Council duly considered
data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of the improvements and facilities
for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether written or ora l, submitted prior
to the conclusion of the hearing; and
WHEREAS, Section 4.C. of Ordinance No. 26 -02 authorizes periodic review and
adjustment to the applicable TUMF in accordance with any adjustments made by the WRCOG
Executive Committee; and
WHEREAS, Section 4.C.1 of Ordinance No. 26-02 implements an annual automatic
construction cost index (“CCI”) adjustment to the TUMF; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Resolution is to implement the initial automatic CCI
adjustment as provided for in Ordinance 26 -02; and
WHEREAS, further CCI increases shall be automatically implemented pursuant to section
4.C.1 of Ordinance No. 26-02; and
WHEREAS, the automatic CCI adjustment implemented by this Resolution is inflationary
only and does not modify the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, improvement program,
or proportionality findings previously adopted by the City; and
WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to this Resolution shall be used to finance the
public facilities described or identified in the Nexus Study; and
WHEREAS, the levying of TUMF has been reviewed by the City Council and staff in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines and
it has been determined that the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from CEQA pursuant to
Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Jacinto does resolve as follows:
