COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE) ss
CITY OF SAN JACINTO)
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 Program participating
jurisdictions, has prepared an updated Nexus Study entitled “Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2016 Update” (“2016 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California
Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of
updating the fees. On July 10, 2017, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the
2016 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. 17-05, 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 cost 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. 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 2016 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the
Regional System improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional
System, and that the amount 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 2016 Nexus Study.
The need for the improvements and facilities is related to new development because
such development results in additional traffic and creates the demand for the
improvements;
WHEREAS, by notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and
place for a public hearing on the 2016 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder
and at least ten (10) days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 2016 Nexus
Study available 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 oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing; and
WHEREAS, Section 4.C. of Ordinance 19-14 of the TUMF Ordinance authorizes
periodic review and adjustment to the applicable TUMF i n accordance with any
adjustments made by the WRCOG Executive Committee; 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 ordinance is exempt
from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

A. The City is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of
Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of
Riverside and 18 cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert,
the WRCOG Member Agencies developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds

by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential,
commercial and industrial development.

now desires to adopt a process in which WRCOG calculates and collects TUMF
on behalf of member agencies under the Western Riverside County
