WHEREAS, section 8-44 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code ("SAMC") establishes the authority for the City Council to create Transportation System Improvement Program ("TSIP") Areas and to establish fees on development in such areas to pay for transporta- tion system improvements located in or benefitting such areas; and WHEREAS, the City Council by previously adopted resolu- tions, has established TSIP Areas A through F in the City of Santa Aha; and WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana has entered into a joint powers agreement with the City of Orange to form a joint powers agency entitled the "Transportation System Improvement Authority" to administer the expenditure of transportation system improvement fees collected from a "TSIP Area," consisting of a portion of TSIP Area A in the City of Santa Ana and a similar specified area of the City of Orange, for the benefit of said TSIP Area as a whole; and WHEREAS, that portion of TSIP Area A which is included within the jurisdiction of the Transportation System Improvement Authority is identified in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incor- porated herein, and is hereinafter referred to as "Area A-l;" and WHEREAS, the said Transportation System Improvement Authority has determined that, in order to obtain sufficient funds for the construction of adequate transportation system improve- ments located within or benefitting the TSIP Area, development fees for transportation system improvements need to be increased to a level of $4.55 per square foot of development throughout the TSIP Area; and WHEREAS, included within Area A-1 is that certain pro- perty (hereinafter referred to as the "Mainplace Site") which is the subject of a Participation Agreement, dated May 15, 1984, between the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana ("Agency") and Santa Ana Venture ("Venture"), and which is specifically described therein; and WHEREAS, in conjunction with the development of the Mainplace Site, Agency and Venture have expended funds in excess of the transportation improvement system development fee for transportation system improvements benefitting the TSIP Area to the extent that it is fair and reasonable to allow further develop- 294 RESOLUTION NO. 89-065 PAGE TWO ment of the Mainplace site at the current fee of one percent of estimated cost of development; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: 1. TSIP Area A-i, as identified in Exhibit A, is hereby established as a separate and distinct transportation system improvement program area. 2. Except as otherwise provided hereinbelow, the fee charged pursuant to SAMC section 8-44 for TSIP Area A-1 shall be $4.55 per square foot of floor space in the construction or improvement which is the subject of a building permit application for which payment of a fee is required by said section 8-44. 3. The purpose of the abovesaid fee is set forth in sub- section (e) of SAMC section 8-44 as follows: "The purpose of a transportation system improve- ment program is to identify and designate those areas where the transportation system may experience a sig- nificant reduction in the level of service unless corrective measures are instituted concurrent with increased transportation demands. Fees collected for building projects and improvements on properties in a transportation systems improvement program area shall be used to improve the transportation system within such area when such improvements will substantially benefit the transportation system within the area." 4. The use to which the abovesaid fee will be put is set forth in SAMC section 13-112 as follows: "Monies in a transportation system improvement program area fund shall be expended to improve the transportation system within the area for which such fund was established, or outside such area only when such improvement will substantially benefit such area." The public facilities to be financed by the fee are identified in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein. 5. The fee applies to all types of development projects, including residential, commercial, office and industrial; subject to certain limited exceptions set forth in section 9-44. The use of the fee for transportation system improvements is reasonably related to all types of development projects because RESOLUTION NO. 89-55 PAGE THREE the owners, occupants and visitors of all types of uses are benefitted by improved vehicular traffic flow. 6. The need for the public facilities is reasonably re- lated to all types of development projects because all types of development projects generate vehicular traffic. The restric- tion of the use of fees to transportation system improvements which are located in, or which substantially benefit, the area of the City from which the fees are derived assures that the fees derived from any given development project are used to pro- vide those transportation improvements which most directly address the needs created by such development project. 7. As used herein, "project" means any proposed construc- tion which is subject to the payment of a fee pursuant to SAMC section 8-44, and "one percent fee" means the fee which applied to all development in Area A prior to this Resolution in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the estimated cost of con- struction or improvement of a project. The fees established by this resolution shall apply to all projects except as follows: (a) Any project for which a building permit has been issued prior to the date of this resolution shall be subject to the one percent fee, unless such building permit expires without commencement of construction. (b) Any project on the Mainplace Site shall be subject to the one percent fee. ADOPTED this 3rd day of ~u]2/ , 1989. ATTEST: c. Guy / 'Clerk of the CounO4~V Da/~-~el ~.
