MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND FOR SAN JOAQUIN HILLS AND TRANSPORTATION BRIDGE FEE PROGRAM FOOTHILL /EASTERN CORRIDORS Government Code Sections 50029 and 66484.3 permit the establishment of local ordinances to require payment of fees as a condition of approval of a final map or as a condition of issuing a building permit for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated cost of constructing bridges over waterways, railways, freeways and canyons, or constructing major thoroughfares in Orange County. Pursuant to the above provisions of the Government Code, the Board of Supervisors adopted Section 7 -9 -316 of the Orange County Codified Ordinances providing for the establishment of major thoroughfare and bridge construction fees to be paid by subdividers and building permit applicants in the County of Orange. On April 21, 1982, the Board of Supervisors, by Resolution 82 -598, directed the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) to begin analyzing potential areas of benefits, and to proceed with the establishment of a fee program. The Board, furthermore, determined that developers of subdivisions which contain portions of any transportation corridor, would dedicate right -of -way, grade and construct necessary portions of the corridor and participate in any established corridor fee program. On February 15, 1983 the Board of Supervisors, by Resolution 83 -239, identified interim areas of impact for the San Joaquin Hills and Foothill /Eastern Transportation Corridors and directed EMA to require subdividers to enter into contracts to participate in corridor implementation pending establishment of a fee program.
