Recommendation
Introduce by title only and waive further reading of AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 16.83 TO UPDATE
THE WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE
(TUMF) PROGRAM; and,
adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE SCHEDULE
Background
The City is a Member Jurisdiction 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, in 2002-2003 the WRCOG Member Jurisdictions
developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional
System of Highways and Arterials due to new development in Western Riverside County could
be made up in part by a TUMF on future residential, commercial and industrial development. As
a Member Jurisdiction of WRCOG and as a TUMF Participating Jurisdiction, the City
participated in the preparation of a certain “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform
Fee Nexus Study,” (2002 Nexus Study) later adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee.
Based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented an ordinance authorizing
the City’s participation in a TUMF Program.
Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.), WRCOG has prepared a new
Nexus Study (2016 Nexus Study) to update the fees. On July 10, 2017, the WRCOG Executive
Committee reviewed the 2016 Nexus Study and recommended TUMF, participating jurisdictions
update their fees by amending their applicable TUMF Ordinances to reflect changes in the
TUMF network and the cost of construction.

Discussion
The proposed Ordinance provides the legal basis for a revised TUMF schedule. The actual
TUMF schedule will be established through the Resolution.
In accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act, the proposed Ordinance and 2016 Nexus Study:
(i) identify the purpose of the revised fees; (ii) identify the use to which the revised fees is to be
put, including identification of any facilities to be financed; (iii) determine how there is a
reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the
fee is imposed; (iv) determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the
public facilities and the type of development project upon which the fees are imposed; and
(v) determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fees and the
cost of the public facilities or portion or the public facility attributable to the development on
which the fees are imposed.
The Resolution will establish the Fee Schedule for TUMF as follows:
(1) $9,418.00 per single family residential unit
(2) $6,134.00 per multi-family residential unit
(3) $1.77 per square foot of an industrial project
(4) $7.50 per square foot of a retail commercial project
(5) $4.56 per square foot of a service commercial project
(6) $2.19 per square foot of a service Class A and B Office

of Governments (WRCOG), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and
seventeen cities located in Western Riverside County; and,
Whereas, the member agencies of WRCOG, recognize that there is insufficient funding to
address the impacts of new development on the regional system of highways and arterials in
Western Riverside County (Regional System), developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds

Whereas, Section 5 of the Expenditure Plan for Measure “A” requires that the City participate in
the WRCOG Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF”) program to receive its fair share of
the transportation funds generated by Measure “A”; and,
Whereas, the TUMF program requires each member entity of WRCOG, including the City, to
adopt an ordinance imposing a development impact fee on new construction within that entity’s
jurisdiction for purposes of funding the TUMF program; and,

16.83 to the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code to authorize the City’s participation in the WRCOG
TUMF program and authorizing imposition of a development impact fee to fund the TUMF program,
the amount of which is to be established by resolution; and,

new Nexus Study in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code Section
66000 et seq.) for the purpose of again updating the previously adopted TUMF fees. TheNexus
Study, entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2016 Update,” and is
incorporated herein by reference; and,
Whereas, the City Council desires to amend Chapter 16.83 to update the TUMF program
regulations and to update the previously adopted TUMF fees in accordance with WRCOG’s most
recent Nexus Study; and,
Whereas, this Ordinance is intended to satisfy the City’s ongoing obligations for participation in
the TUMF program and for receipt of funds under Measure “A.”
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The above recitals are all true and correct.
Section 2: Chapter 16.83. Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Sections 16.83.020
and 16.83.040 are hereby amended as follows:
16.83.020 Findings.
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 needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and
Arterials in Western Riverside County (Regional System) could be made up in part by a
transportation uniform mitigation fee (TUMF) on future residential, commercial and industrial
development. A map depicting the boundaries of Western Riverside County and the Regional
System is available in the office of the City Clerk and made a part hereof. As a member agency
of WRCOG and as a TUMF participating jurisdiction, the City participated in the preparation of a
certain “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study,” dated October 18,
2002 (2002 Nexus Study), prepared in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code
Sections 66000 et seq.) and adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee. Based on the 2002
Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented Ordinance No. 1096 authorizing the City’s
participation in a TUMF program.
B. WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF participating jurisdictions, has prepared an updated
Nexus Study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2016 Update” (Nexus
Study) pursuant to Mitigation Fee Act, for the purpose of updating the fees. On July 10, 2017, the
WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the Nexus Study and TUMFprogramandrecommended
TUMF participatingjurisdictions amendtheir applicableTUMF ordinancesto reflect changes inthe
TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF program.
D. 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 nonresidential users of the development in
which the TUMF will be levied.
E. 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
nonresidential 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.
F. The City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new 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.
G. The fees collected pursuant to this chapter 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 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.
H. By notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place for a public hearing
on the Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder, and at least 10 days prior to this hearing,
the City Council made the Nexus Study available to the public.
I. 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.
J. The City Council finds that the Nexus Study proposes a fair and equitable method for
distributing a portion of the unfunded costs of improvements and facilities to the RegionalSystem.
K. The City Council hereby adopts the Nexus Study, including its Addendum regarding temporary
fee reduction, and its findings. The Nexus Study is available in the office of the City Clerk and
incorporated by reference only.

ES.O EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES.1 Inlroduction ond Purpose of the Nexus Study
Western Riverside County lncludes 18 incorporoted cities ond the unincorporoted
county covering on oreo of opproximotely 2,100 squore miles. Through the mid 2000's,
this portion of Riverside County wos growing of o poce exceeding the copocity of
existing finonciol resources to meet increosing demond for tronsportotion infrostructure.
Although the economic recession of the lote 2000's. ond the ossocioted crises in the
mortgoge ond housing industries, hos slowed this rote of growth, the region is expected
to rebound ond the projected growth in Western Riverside County is expected to
increose. This increose in growth could significontly increose congestion ond degrode
mobility [f substontiol investments ore not mode in tronsportotion infrostructure. This
chollenge is especiolly criticol for orteriol roodwoys of regionol significonce, since
troditionol sources of tronsportotion funding (such os the gosoline tox ond locol generol
funds) will not be neorly sufficient to fund the needed improvements.
ln Februory 1999, the cities of Temeculo, Murrieto ond Loke Elsinore, the Western
Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the Rlverside County Tronsportotion
Commission (RCTC) ond the Building lndustry Associotion (BlA) met to discuss the
concept of o Tronsportotion Uniform Mitigotion Fee (TUMF) for southwest Riverside
County. ln August 2000, the concept wos exponded to include the entire WRCOG sub-
region.
The TUMF Progrom is lmplemented through the ouspices of WRCOG. As the council of
governments for Western Riverside County, WRCOG provides o forum for
representotives from 18 cities, the Riverside County Boord of Supervisors, the Eostern
ond Western Municipol Woter Districts, the Riverside County Superintendent of Schools,
the Morch Jolnt Powers Authority, the Riverside Tronsit Agency ond the Morongo Bond
of Mission lndions to colloborote on issues thot offect the entire subregion, such os oir
quolity, solid woste, tronsportotion ond the environment. While the TUMF connot fund
oll necessory tronsportotion system improvements, it is intended to oddress o current
tronsportotion funding shortfoll by estoblishing o new revenue source thot ensures future
development will contribute toword oddressing the impocts of new growth on regionol
tronsportotion infrostructure. Funding occumuloted through the TUMF Progrom will be
used to construct tronsportotion improvements thot will be needed to occommodote
future trovel demond in Western Riverside County. By levying o fee on new
developments in the region, locol ogencies will be estoblishing o mechonlsm by which
developers ond in turn new county residents ond employees will effectively contribute
their "foir shore" toword sustoining the regionol tronsportotion system.
This TUMF Droft Nexus Study is intended to sotisfy the requirements of Colifornio
Government Code Chopter 5 Section 65000-66008 Fees for Development Projects (olso
known os Colifornio Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600) or the Mitigotion Fee Act) which
governs imposing development impoct fees in Colifornio. The initiol WRCOG TUMF
Nexus Study wos completed in October 2002 ond odopted by the WRCOG Executive
Committee in November 2002. The results of the first review of the Progrom were

wos conducled in 2008 ond 2009 in port to oddress the impocts of the economic
recession on the rote of development within the region ond on tronsportotion project
costs. The findings of the 2009 review of the progrom were odopted by the WRCOG
Executive Committee on October 5, 2009.
A third comprehensive review of the TUMF Progrom wos conducted in 2014 ond 2015

ES.2 Future Growlh
For eorlier versions of the TUMF Nexus Study, the primory ovoiloble source of
consolidoted demogrophic informotion for Western Riverside County wos provided by
the Southern Colifornio Associotion of Governments (SCAG). Recognizing the need to
develop o more comprehensive source of socioeconomic doto for Riverside County,
the Riverside County Center for Demogrophic Reseorch (RCCDR) wos estoblished
under the joint efforts of the County of Riverside, the Western Riverside Council of
Governments, the Coochello Volley Associotion of Governments, ond the University of
Colifornlo, Riverside in 2005. RCCDR provided demogrophic estimotes ond forecosts for
Riverside County os input to the SCAG regionol forecosts os well os providing the
demogrophic bosis for the Riverside County Troffic Anolysis Model (RivTAM). RCCDR
doto wos used os the bosis for the TUMF Nexus Study 2009 Updote.
As directed by the WRCOG Executive Committee, the SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS
demogrophics forecosts were utilized os the bosis for this 2015 Updote of the TUMF
Nexus Study. A mojor distinction between RCCDR doto used for the TUMF Nexus Study
2009 Updote ond the SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS doto used for this 2016 Updote is the chonge
in the bose yeor from 2007 to 2012, os well os the chonge in the horizon yeor from 2035
Io 2040. This shift in the bose yeor ond horizon yeor demogrophic ossumptions of the
progrom corries through oll ospects of the nexus onolysis, including the trovel demond
forecosting. network review ond fee colculotion.
The populotion of Western Riverside County is projected to increose by 37% in lhe
period between 2012 ond 2040. During the some period, employment in Western
Riverside County is onticipoted to grow by 87%. Figure ES.2 illustrotes the forecost
growth in populotion, household ond employment for Western Riverside County.
ES.3 Need for lhe TUMF
The WRCOG TUMF study oreo wos extrocted from the greoter regionol model network
for the purpose of colculotlng meosures for Western Riverside County only. Peok period
performonce meosures for the TUMF study oreo included totol vehicle miles of trovel
(VMT), totol vehicle hours of trovel (VHT), totol combined vehicle hours of deloy (VHD),
ond totol VMT experiencing unocceptoble level of service (LOS E).
As o result of the new development ond ossocioted growth in populotion ond
employment in Western Riverside County, odditionol pressure will be ploced on the
tronsportotion infrostructure, porticulorly the orteriol roodwoys. with the peok period
VMT on the TUMF Network estimoted to increose bV 63% between 2012 ond 2040. By
2040, 57% of the totol VMT on the TUMF Network is forecost to be troveling on focilities
experiencing peok period LOS E or worse. Without improvements to the orteriol
highwoy system, the totol vehicle hours of deloy (VHD) experienced by oreo motorists
on the TUMF Network will increose over 4.9% per yeor. The need to improve these
roodwoys ond relieve future congestion is therefore directly linked to the future
development which generotes the trovel demond.

Figure ES.2 - Populolion, Households ond Employment in Weslern Riverside County
(2012 to 2040)
As populotion ond employment in Western Riverside County grows os o result of new
development, demond for regionol tronsit services in the region [s olso expected to
grow. Weekdoy system ridership for RTA bus tronsit services is opproximotely 31,016
riders per doy in Western Riverside County in 20i5. By 2025, bus tronsit services ore
forecost to serve opproximotely 46,572 riders per weekdoy. This represents on overoge
increose of 1,414 weekdoy riders eoch yeor. Bosed on this rote of ridership growth,
weekdoy ridership is estimoted to increose by 41,01 I riders per weekdoy between 2012
ond 2040.
The ideo behind o uniform mitigotion fee is to hove new development throughout the
region contribute equolly to poying the cost of improving the tronsportotion focilities
thot serve these longer-distonce trips between communities. Thus, the fee should be
used to improve tronsportotion focilities thot serye trips between communities within the
region (primorily orteriol roodwoys) os well os the infrostructure for public tronsportotion.

ES.4 The TUMF Network
The Regionol System of Highwoys ond Arteriols (olso referred to os the TUMF Network) is
the system of roodwoys thot serve inter-community trips within Western Riverside County
ond therefore ore eligible for improvement funding with TUMF funds. Tronsportotion
focilities in Western Riverside County thot generolly sotisfied select performonce
guidelines were identified, ond o skeletol regionol tronsportotion fromework evolved
from focilities where multiple guidelines were observed. This fromework wos reviewed
by representotives of oll WRCOG constituent jurisdictions ond privote sector
stokeholders, ond endorsed by the WRCOG Public Works Committee. WRCOG
Technicol Advisory Committee, TUMF Policy Committee ond the WRCOG Executive
Committee.
The TUMF Network wos refined to distinguish between focililies of "Regionol
Significonce" ond focilities of "Zonol Significonce". The Focilities of Regionol
Significonce hove been identified os the "bockbone" highwoy network for Western
Riverside County. Focilities of Zonol Significonce (the "secondory" network) represent
the bolonce of the Regionol System of Highwoys ond Arteriols for Western Riverside
County. A portion of the TUMF is specificolly designoted for improvement projects on
the bockbone system ond on the secondory network within the zone in which it is
collected.
Figure ES.3 illustrotes the TUMF improvements to the Regionol System of Highwoys ond
Arteriols.
The totol cost of improving the TUMF system is $3.25 billion. Accounting for obligoted
funds ond unfunded existing needs, the estimoted moximum eligible volue of the TUMF
Progrom is $2.96 billion. The moximum eligible volue of the TUMF Progrom includes
opproximolely $2J1 billion in eligible orteriol highwoy ond street reloted improvements
ond $92.6 million in eligible tronsit reloted improvements. An odditionol $43.3 million is
olso eligible os port of the TUMF Progrom to mitigote the impoct of eligible TUMF reloted
orteriol highwoy ond street projects on criticol notive species ond wildlife hobitot, while
$112.2 million is provided to cover the costs incurred by WRCOG to odminister the TUMF
Progrom.

ES.s TUMF Nexus Anolysis
There is o reosonoble relotionship between the future growth ond the need for
improvements to the TUMF system. These foctors include:
development.
regionol tronsportotion impocts of future development in Western Riverside County.
cumulotive regionol impocts of new development.
progrom.
odequote mobility for tronsit-dependent trovelers ond to provide on olternotive to
outomobile trovel.
The split of fee revenues between the bockbone ond secondory highwoy networks is
reloted to the proportion of highwoy vehicle trovel thot is relotively locol (between
odjocent communities) ond longer distonce (between more distont communities but
still within Western Riverside County). To estimote o rotionol fee split between the
respective networks. the future trovel forecost estimotes were oggregoted to o motrix
of peok period trips between zones. The overoll result is thot 50.7% of the regionol trovel
is ottributoble to the bockbone network ond 493% is ossigned to the secondory
network.
ln order to estoblish the opproximote proportionolity of the future troffic impocts
ossocioted with new residentiol development ond new non-residentiol development,
peok period growth in VMT between 2012 ond 2040 wos derived from RivTAM ond
oggregoted by trip purpose. lt wos concluded thot home-bosed person trips represent
71.0% of the totol future person trlps, ond the non-home-bosed person trips represent
29.0% of the totolfuture person trips.
ES.6 Foir-Shore Fee Colculotion
The bolonce of the unfunded TUMF system improvement needs is $2.96 billion which is
the moximum volue ottributoble to the mitigotion of the cumulotive regionol
tronsportotion impocts of future new development in the WRCOG region, ond will be
coptured through the TUMF Progrom. By levying the uniform fee directly on future new
developments (ond indirectly on new residents ond new employees to Western
Riverside County), these tronsportotion system users ore ossigned their "foir shore" of the

costs to oddress the cumulotive impocts of odditionol troffic they will generote on the
regionol tro nsportotion system.
Of the $2.96 billion in unfunded future improvement needs, Tl.O% ($2.10 billion) will be
ossigned to future new residentiol development ond 29.0% ($858.7 million) will be
ossigned to future new non-residentiol development.
ES.7 Conclusions
Bosed on the results of the Nexus Study evoluotion, it con be demonstroted thot there is
reosonoble relotionship between the cumulotive regionol tronsportotion impocts of
new lond development projects in Western Riverside County ond the need to mitigote
these tronsportotion impocts using funds levied through the proposed TUMF Progrom.
Foctors thot reflect this reosonoble relotionship include:
development.
regionol tronsportotion impocts of future development in Western Riverside County;
cumulotive impocts of new development;
progrom;
odequote mobility for tronsit-dependent trovelers ond to provide on olternotive to
outomotive trovel.
The Nexus Study evoluotion hos estoblished o proportionol "foir shore" of the
improvement cost ottributoble to new development bosed on the impocts of existing
development ond the ovoilobility of obligoted funding through troditionol sources. The
foir shore fee ollocoble to future new residentiol ond non-residentiol development in
Western Riverside County is summorized for differing use types in Toble ES.l.

I.O INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OI THE NEXUS STUDY
1.1 Bockground
Western Riverside County includes 18 incorporoted cities ond the unincorporoted
county covering on oreo of opproximotely 2,100 squore miles. Through the mid 2000's,
this portion of Riverside County wos growing of o poce exceeding the copocity of
existing finonciol resources to meet increosing demond for tronsportotion infrostructure.
Although the economic recesslon of the lote 2000's, ond the ossocioted crises in the
mortgoge ond housing industries, slowed this rote of growth, the regionol economy is
continuing to rebound ond the projected rote of development in Western Riverside
County is expected to increose. This increose in growth could significontly increose
congestion ond degrode mobility if substontiol investments ore not mode in
tronsportotion infrostructure. This chollenge is especiolly criticol for orteriol roodwoys of
regionol significonce, since troditionol sources of tronsportotion funding (such os the
gosoline tox ond locol generol funds) will not be neorly sufficient to fund the needed
improvements. Development exoctions only provide improvements neor the
development site, ond the brood-bosed county-level funding sources (i.e., Riverside
County's holf-cent soles tox known os Meosure A) designote only o smoll portion of their
revenues for orteriol roodwoy improvements.
ln onticipotion of the continued future growth projected in Riverside County, severol
county-wide plonning processes were initioted in 199?. These plonning processes
include the Riverside County Generol Plon Updote. the Community Environmentol
Tronsportotion Acceptobility Process (CETAP) ond the Mulii-Species Hobitot
Conservotion Plon (MSHCP). Reloted to these plonning processes is the need to fund
the mitigotion of the cumulotive regionol tronsportotion impocts of future new
development.
Reglonol orteriol highwoys in Western Riverside County ore forecost to corry significont
trofflc volumes by 2040. While some locolized fee progroms exist to mitigote the locol
impocts of new development on the ironsportotion system in specific oreos, ond while
these progroms ore effective locolly, they ore insufficient in their obility to meet the
regionol demond for tronsportotion infrostructure. Former Riverside County Supervisor
Buster recognized the need to estoblish o comprehensive funding source to mitigote
the cumulotive regionol tronsportotion impocts of new development on regionol
orteriol highwoys. The need to estoblish o comprehensive funding source for orteriol
highwoy improvements hos evolved into the development of the Tronsportotion
Uniform Mitigotion Fee (TUMF) for Western Riverside County.
ln Februory 199?, Ihe cities of Temeculo, Murrieto ond Loke Elsinore, the Western
Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the Riverside County Tronsportotion
Commission (RCTC) ond the Building lndustry Associotion (BlA) met to discuss the
concept of o TUMF. The intent of this effort wos to hove the southwest oreo of Western
Riverside County oct os o demonstrotion for the development of policies ond o process
for o regionol TUMF Progrom before opplying the concept countywide. From Februory
1999 to September 2000, the Southwest Areo Tronsportotion lnfrostructure System

Funding Yeor 2020 (SATISFY 2020) ?rogrom progressed with policy development, the
identificotion of lronsportotion improvements, troffic modeling, cost estimotes, fee
scenorios ond o droft lmplementotion Agreement.
ln Moy 2000, Riverside County Supervisor Tovoglione initioted discussions in the
northwest oreo of Western Riverside County to determine the level of interest in
developing o TUMF for thot oreo of the county. lnterest in the development of o
northwest oreo fee progrom wos high. ln August 2000, the WRCOG Executive
Committee took oction to build upon the work completed in the southwest oreo for the
SATISFY 2020 progrom ond to develop o single consolidoted mitigotion fee progrom for
oll of Western Riverside County. This oction wos predicoted on the desire to estoblish o
single unlform mitigotion fee progrom to mitigote the cumulotive regionol impocts of
new development on the regionol orteriol highwoy system, rother thon multiple discrete
ond disporote fee progroms with vorying policies, fees ond improvement projects. A
TUMF Policy Committee comprising regionol elected officiols wos formed to
recommend ond set policies for stoff to develop the TUMF Progrom ond provide overoll
guldonce to oll other stoff committees.
While the TUMF connot fund oll necessory tronsportotion system improvements, it is
intended to oddress o current tronsportotion funding shortfoll by estoblishing o new
revenue source thot ensures future new development will contribute toword oddressing
its indirect cumulotive troffic impocts on regionol tronsportotion infrostructure. Funding
occumuloted through the TUMF Progrom will be used to construct tronsportotion
improvements such os new orteriol highwoy lones, reconfigured freewoy interchonges,
roilrood grode seporotions ond new regionol express bus services thot will be needed
to occommodote future trovel demond in Western Riverside County. By levying o fee
on new developments in the region, locol ogencies will be estoblishing o mechonism
by which developers ond in turn new county residents ond employees will effectively
contribute their "foir shore" toword sustoining the regionol tronsportotion system.
This TUMF Nexus Study is intended to sotisfy the requirements of Colifornio Government
Code Chopter 5 Section 66000-66008 Fees for Development Proiects (olso known os
Colifornio Assembly Bill .l600 (AB l600) or the Mitigotion Fee Act), which governs
imposing development impoct fees in Colifornio. The Mitigotion Fee Act requires thot
oll locol ogencies in Colifornio, including cities, counties, ond speciol districts follow two
bosic rules when instituting impoct fees. These rules ore os follows:
l) Estoblish o nexus or reosonoble relotionship between the development
impoct fee's use ond the type of project for which the fee is required.
2l The fee must not exceed the project's proportionol "foir shore" of the
proposed improvement ond connot be used to correct current problems or
to moke improvements for existing development.
1.2 TUMF Nexus Study History
The TUMF Progrom is implemented through the ouspices of WRCOG. As the council of
governments for Western Riverside County, WRCOG provides o forum for

representotives from l8 cities, the Riverside County Boord of Supervisors, the Eostern
ond Western Municipol Woter Districts, the Rlverside County Superintendent of Schools,
the Morch Joint Powers Authority, the Riverside Tronsit Agency ond the Morongo Bond
of Mission lndions to colloborote on issues thot offecl the entire subregion, such os oir
quolity, solid woste, tronsportotion ond the environment. A current list of the stondlng
WRCOG TUMF reloted commlttees ond committee membership is included in Appendix
A.
The initiol WRCOG TUMF Nexus Study wos completed in October 2002 ond odopted by
the WRCOG Executive Committee in November 2002. lts purpose wos to estoblish the
nexus or reosonoble relotionship between new lond development projects in Western
Riverside County ond the proposed development impoct fee thot would be used to
improve regionol tronsportotion focilities. lt olso identified the proportionol "foir shore"
of the improvement cost ottributoble to new development.
Consistent with the provlsions of the Mitigotion Fee Act, the WRCOG Executive
Committee hos estoblished thot the TUMF Nexus Study will be subject of o
comprehensive review of the underlying progrom ossumptions of leost every five yeors
to confirm the Nexus. Acknowledging the unprecedented ond unique noture of the
TUMF Progrom, the Executive Committee determined thot the flrst comprehensive
review of the Progrom should be initioted within two yeors of initiol odoption of the
Progrom primorily to volidote the findings ond recommendotlons of the study ond to
correct ony progrom oversights. The results of the first review of the Progrom were
documented in the TUMF Nexus Study 2005 Updote odopted by the WRCOG Executive
Committee on Februory 6,2006. A second comprehensive review of the TUMF Progrom
wos conducted in 2008 ond 2009 in port to oddress the impocts of the economic
recession on the rote of development within the region ond on tronsportotion project
costs. The findings of the 2009 review of the progrom were odopted by the WRCOG
Executive Committee on October 5, 2009.
A third comprehensive review of the TUMF Progrom wos conducted in 2014 ond 2015
leoding to o Droft Nexus Study document being distributed for review in August 2015.
The WRCOG Executive Committee subsequently considered comments reloted to the
Droft Nexus Study 2015 Updote ot the meeting held on September 14,2015 where it wos
resolved to "deloy finolizing the Nexus Study for the TUMF Progrom Updote until the 2016
Southern Colifornio Associotion of Governments' 2015 Regionol Tronsportotion Plon /
Sustoinoble Communities Strotegy growth forecost is ovoiloble for inclusion in the Nexus
Study". The Southern Colifornio Associotion of Governments (SCAG) odopted the 2016-
2040 RegionolTronsportotion Plon/ Sustolnoble Communities StrotegV (2016 RTP/SCS) on
April7,20l5 enobling WRCOG stoff to proceed with finolizing the updote of the TUMF
Nexus Study. This version of the WRCOG TUMF Nexus Study Report documents the finol
results of the third comprehensive review of the TUMF Progrom to incorporote the
revisions completed during 2016. The findings of this report were ultimotely odopted by
the WRCOG Executive Committee on July 10, 2017.
To ensure new development continues to contribute o foir shore of the cost to mitigote
its cumulotive regionol tronsportotion impocts in the period between the
comprehensive review of progrom ossumptions completed of leost every five yeors, the

coincide with the publicotion of the most recently updoted index). lf opproved by the
Executive Committee, the resultont percentoge chonge for eoch of the indices will be
opplied to the unit cost ossumptions for roodwoy ond bus tronslt costs, ond lond
ocquisition costs, respectively, to reflect the combined effects of chonges in eligible
project costs on the resultont per unit fee for eoch defined lond use cotegory.
1.3 TUMF Nexus Study Process
ln coordinotion with WRCOG. city ond county representotives, developers, ond other
interested porties reviewed ond updoted the underlying ossumptions of the Nexus
Study os port of this comprehensive progrom review. ln porticulor, the most recent
socioeconomic forecosts developed bySCAG os the bosis forthe 2015 RTP/SCS were
incorporoted, os resolved by the WRCOG Executive Committee of the September 14,
2015 meeting. This use of the most recent SCAG forecosts resulted in o shift of the
progrom bose yeor from 2007 to 2012, os well os o shift in the progrom horizon yeor from
2035 to 2040. Furthermore, the TUMF Network wos re-exomlned in detoil bosed on trovel
demond forecosts derived from the most recent version of the Riverside County
Tronsportotion ond Anolysis Model (RivTAM) to more occurotely reflect future project
needs to oddress the cumulotive regionol impocts of new development in Western
Riverside County os well os eliminoting those projects hovlng been completed prior to
the commencement of the Nexus review in 20.l6.
The subsequent chopters of this Nexus Study document describe the vorious
ossumptions, doto inputs ond onolysls leoding to the determinotion of eoch mojor
vorioble in the TUMF colculotion, ond ultimotely leoding to the determinotion of the
TUMF Schedule of Fees thot indicotes the moximum "foir shore" fee for eoch of the
vorious use types defined in the TUMF progrom. The overoll process for estoblishing the
TUMF nexus is summorized in this section, including the flow chort in Figure 1.1 thot
illustrotes the vorious technicol steps in this fee colculotion process. Eoch technicol step

l.l.l. Estoblish lhe TUMF Network Project list
The roodwoy network in Western Riverside County must be evoluoted to determine how
new development octivity will impoct the performonce of the network, ond how the
resultont troffic impocts con be mitigoted by completing vorious roodwoy
improvements. The following steps integrote the lotest SCAG socio-economic forecosts
into RivTAM os the bosis for determining future roodwoy deficiencies ond identifying the
list of eligible improvements to oddress these future deficiencies. The rotionol ond
methodology for occomplishing these steps is further exploined in Chopters 2 ond 3 of
this report. with the resultont TUMF Network described in Chopter 4.
I ) The SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS wos developed using housing ond employment doto for
2012 os its bose yeor. This officiolly-odopted dotoset wos updoted for the bose
for the TUMF 20.l6 Nexus Updote, including redistribution of the SCAG doto to
correspond to the RivTAM TAZ structure.
2) The RivTAM modelr hos dotosets ovoiloble thot represent the copocity of the
different focilities in the rood network for severol dlfferent study yeors. For this
nexus updote, the RivTAM 2012 bose network thot wos developed following the
odoption of the SCAG 20.l2 RTP wos selected os the one most closely resembling
cunent conditions. This network wos subsequently reviewed ond updoted,
including o detoiled review by WRCOG ond porticipoting.iurisdictions, os well os
portner entities, including BlA, to identify projects thot were completed on the
orteriol network in the period between 2012 ond December 2015. The orteriol
network wos then recoded to reflect the chonges to the TUMF Network to creote
o 20l5 existing network os the bosis for onolysis.
3) RivTAM wos run using the 2012 socio-economic doto (SED) ond the 2015 rood
network to produce the boseline volumes on the roods in the TUMF Network.
4) The boseline volume-to-copocity (V/C) rotio wos then determined. The torget
LOS for TUMF focilities is "D". meoning thot focilitles with LOS "E" or "F", i.e. those
with o V/C rotio of 0.9 or higher, ore deemed to hove inodequote copocity. The
result of this step is o list of roods thot hove existing copocity deficiencies.
5) The SCAG 2015 RTP/SCS wos developed using housing ond employment doto for
2040 os its forecost horizon yeor. This officiolly-odopted dotoset wos olso used os
the future bose yeor for the TUMF updote colculotion.
6) RivTAM wos run using the orteriol rood network for 2015 with the lond use
ossumptions for 2040. This "No Build" scenorio wos used to determine where
1 The mocro-level troffic forecosting wos conducted using the Riverside County Tronsportotion ond Anolysis Model
(RivIAM). RivTAM is o version of SCAG's six-county model with odditionol detoil (troffic onolysis zones ond locol roods)
odded wiihin Riverside County. lt wos developed for use in troffic studies in Riverside County os o replocement for
severol older models thot covered different portions of the county. RivTAM hos both the geogrophic scope needed to
onolyze oll TUMF focilities ond conformity with regionol plonning ossumptions. There is o memorondum of understonding
omong lhe.jurisdictions of Riverside County thot encouroges the use of the RivTAM model for use in iroffic studies.

deficiencies would occur in the roodwoy system if development occurred os
expected but no roodwoy improvements were implemented.
7) Comporlng the existing copocity deficiencies with the future deficiencies
showed where new deficiencies would occur thot ore entirely ottributoble to
new development. Comporlng the existing ond future troffic volume to copocity
rotio on the roods thot ore currently deficient shows the portion of the future
deficiency thot is ottributoble to new development.
8) lt is generolly ocknowledged thot the TUMF progrom connot ond should not
ottempt to fund every roodwoy improvement needed [n Western Riverside
County. WRCOG hos odopted o set of selection criterio thot wos used to choose
which roodwoy improvements would be eligible for TUMF funding.
9) The selection criterio were opplied to the forecost deficiencies to identify
projects for the TUMF Project List. The project list wos subsequently reviewed to
confirm the eligibility of proposed projects, including projects previously included
in the TUMF progrom, os well os odditionol projects requested for inclusion os port
of the current updote. The project list wos then subsequently updoied to reflect
those projects considered eligible for TUMF funding os port of the 20.l5 Nexus.
1.1.2. Determine the TUMF Network Project Costs
The estimoted costs of proposed improvements on the TUMF Network ore colculoted
bosed on the prices of construction moteriols, lobor ond lond volues for the vorious
eligible project types included os port of the TUMF progrom. The opprooch ond
outcomes of the following steps is described in Chopter 4 of this report.
l0) The TUMF progrom hos design stondords covering the rood project components
thot ore eligible for TUMF funding. This ensures thot projects in jurisdictions with
different design stondords ore treoted equollyz.
1 i ) The unit costs for the vorious construction components were updoted bosed on
the current cost volues for lobor ond moteriols such os cement, ospholt,
reinforcing steel, etc., os derived from Coltrons cost dotobose, RCTC ond other
sources, effective Morch 2016. Additionolly. the ROW cost components per
squore foot for vorious lond use types were olso updoted bosed on current
property voluotions in Riverside County os reseorched by Overlond, Pocific ond
Cutler in Morch 20.l6.
12) The design stondords ond the unit costs were combined to creote conceptuol
engineering cost estimotes for different eligible project types (rood costs per
lone-mile, typicol costs per orteriol-freewoy interchonge, bridge costs per lineor
foot, etc.). The unit costs from the previous step were then opplied to the project
list to estimote the costs of the improvements on the TUMF project list.
2 A .iurisdiction moy choose to design to o higher stondord, but if it does so TUMF will only fund up to the equivolent of
whot costs would hove been hod the TUMF design stondords been followed.

14) The Riverside Tronsit Agency (RTA) commissioned o Comprehensive Operotionol
Anolysis (COA) thot wos completed in Jonuory 2015. This onolysis looked ot
existing ond future ridership ond idenlified potenliol poects to expond ond
improve tronsit service in Riverside Counly.
I5) The COA's ridership figures for 2015 ond 2025 were extropoloted to 20.I2 ond
2040 lo motch the onolysis yeors used for TUMF rood projects.
l6) The growlh in ridership between 2012 ond 2040 wos compored to totol ridership
in 2040 to determine the portion of 2040 ridership thot is otlribuloble lo exisling
possengers ond the portion ottributoble to new growth.
l7) As wos the cose for rood improvements, possible tronsit proiects from the COA
were screened using o set of criterio to determine whether lhey should receive
TUMF funding. The COA project list wos lhen reviewed by WRCOG ond RTA sloff
to confirm the volidity of the project list ond to refleci ony chonges in RTA project
recommendolions esioblished since the odoption of the COA to estoblish o finol

1.1.3. Delermine the TUMF Tronsil Componenl
Hoving determined the totol project costs to be covered by new development under
the TUMF progrom. it is necessory to divide these costs omong different types of
developments roughly in proportion io their expected troffic impocts. The following
steps described ihe process for determining the proporlion oltributoble to new
residentiol development. These opprooch for occomplishing these steps olong wilh the
findings of this onolysis ore described in detoil in Chopter 5 ond Chopler 6 of this report.
22) Colifornio legislotion encouroges the use of vehicle miles of trovel (VMT) os lhe
primory indicotor of troffic impocls becouse it tokes into occounl both to the
number of vehicle trips ond lhe overoge length of those lrips lo reflect the
proporlionol impocl lo the roodwoy nelwork. As o result, lhe methodology for
determining the relolive distribution of lroffic impocts beiween residentiol ond
non-residentiol uses for the purposes of TUMF wos revised from o trip bosed
opprooch used in the eorlier nexus studies lo o VMT bosed opprooch for the
2015 updote. The RivTAM 20'12 existing ond 2040 no-build model runs were
exomined to determine lhe VMT of vorious trip types thot would toke ploce in
Western Riverside County (exciuding through lrips). The resulls were compored
to determine lhe growth in VMI for eoch trip type. Per WRCOG policy (bosed on
Nolionol Cooperotive Highwoy Reseorch Progrom (NCHRP) recommended
prociice) trips originoting in or destined for o home ore oikibuied lo resideniiol
development while trips where neilher the origin nor the desiinolion ore o home
ore otlributed to non-residentiol development.
23) The SCAG 2015 RTP/SCS socio-economic forecosts were used to estimote the
number of singleJomily ond multi-fomily dwelling units thot will be developed
during the 20l2 to 2040 period.
24) Ihe Inslitule of Tronsportotion Engineers' (lTE's) trip generotion rotes, which come
from surveys of exisling sites for vorious development lypes, were then used to
estimote the doily number of trips thot will be generoled by future single- ond
multi-fomily developmenls ihot will occur in lhe region frcm 2012lo 2040.
25) The cost to be covered by residentiol development wos divided into the portion
ottributoble to new single-fomily dwellings ond portion ollributoble 'to new multi-
fomily development to colculote the cosl shore for eoch use.
25) lne cost shore for single-fomily dwellings ond mulli-fomily dwellings wos divided
by the number of dwellings of eoch type to determine the fee level required
from eoch new dwelling unit to cover lheir fok shore of the cost to miiigote the
impocts of new developments.
1.1.5. Computing lhe Fee for Non-Residentiol Developmenls
A process similor to thot used for residenliol units wos used lo determine the fee level for
non-residentiol development. However, the determinoiion of fees for non-residentiol
development involves odditionol steps due to the odditionol complexity of occounting
for o greoter voriety of development types within eoch use cotegory. Chopter 5 ond

2.0 FUTURE GROWTH
2.1 Recenl Hisloricol Trend
Western Riverside County experienced robust growth in the period from the lote 1990's
lo the mid 2000's. The results of Census 2000 indicote thot in lhe yeor 2000, Western
Riverside County hod o populotion of 1.187 million representing o 30% increose (or 2.7%
overoge onnuol increose) from the 1990 populotion of 912,000. Tolol employment in
Western Riverside County in 2000 wos estimoted by the SCAG to be 381 ,000
represenling o 46% increose lor 3.9% overoge onnuol increose) over the 1990
employmenl of 261 ,000.
Despite the impocts of lhe Greql Recession ond lhe ossocioled residentiol mortgoge
ond foreclosure crisis, Western Riverside Counly continued to grow due 1o lhe
ovoilobilily of relotively offordoble residenliol ond commerciol property, ond o
generolly well-educoted workforce. By 2010, the populotion of the region hod grown
Io 1 .7 42 million. o fvrlf'er 47% growth in populotion from 2000. Similorly, totol
employment in the region hod olso grown from 2000 to 2010 wilh 434,000 employees
eslimoted to be working in Weslern Riverside County. This represents o l2% increose
from the 381.000 employees working in lhe region in 2000.
2.2 Avoiloble Demogrophic Doto
A voriety of olternote demogrophic informotion thot quontifies future populotion,
household ond employment growth is ovoiloble for Western Riverside County. For
eorlier versions of lhe TUMF Nexus Study, the primory ovoiloble source of consolidoled
demogrophic informotion for Western Riverside County wos provided by SCAG. SCAG
is the lorgesl of neorly 700 Councils of Government (COG) in lhe United Stotes ond
funclions os the Metropoliton Plonning Orgonizotion (MPO) for six counties in Southern
Colifornio including Los Angeles, Oronge. Son Bernordino, Riverside, Venturo ond
lmperiol. SCAG is mondoted by the federol government to reseorch ond plon for issues
of regionol significonce including tronsporiotion ond growth monogement. As pori of
lhese responsibilities, SCAG mointoins o comprehensive dotobose of regionol
socioeconomic doto ond develops demogrophic projections ond trovel demond
forecosts for Southern Colifornio.
Recognizing the need 1o develop o more comprehensive source of socioeconomic
doto for Riverside County, the Riverside County Cenler for Demogrophic Reseorch
(RCCDR) wos estoblished under the joint efforts of the Counly of Riverside, the Western
Riverside Council of Governmenls, the Coochello Volley Associotion of Governments,
ond the University of Colifornio, Riverside in 2005. RCCDR wos responsible for
estoblishing ond mointoining demogrophic informotion ond ensuring doto consistency
through o cenlrolized doto source of demogrophic chorocteristics. RCCDR provided
demogrophic eslimotes ond forecosts for Riverside County os input to the SCAG

The functions of the RCCDR hove been subsequently integroted into the Riverside
County lnformotion Technology - Geogrophic lnformotlon Systems (RCIT-GIS) group.
ond their role in the development ond distribution of SED hos recently diminished.
Although RCII-GIS. WRCOG ond other regionol portners porticipoted in the process to

remoined the leod ogency in the compilotion ond disseminotion of the forecosts thot
were ultimotely odopted in 2016, including those specific to Western Riverside County.
For this reoson, the SCAG forecosts odopted for the 20,l6 RTP/SCS were used os the
bosis for the TUMF Nexus Study 2015 Updote, with the odopted SCAG doto being
disoggregoted to correlote to the troffic onolysis zone (TAZ) structure utilized for RivTAM.
2.3 Demogrophic Assumptions Used for lhe Nexus Study Anolysis
A mojor distinction between RCCDR doto used for the TUMF Nexus Study 2009 Updote
ond the SCAG 20.l6 RTP/SCS doto used for this 2016 Updote is the chonge in the bose
yeor from 2007 to 2012, os well os the chonge in the horizon yeor from 2035 to 2040.
This shift in the bose yeor ond horizon yeor demogrophic ossumptions of the progrom
corries through oll ospects of the nexus onolysis, including the trovel demond
forecosting, network review ond fee colculotion.
The SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS doto were compored to the RCCDR 2007 doto used in the

o modest decline in overoll employment, with o notoble shift in employment owoy from

the improvements needed to serve new development. Development exoctions
generolly provide only o froction of the improvements with improvements confined to
the oreo immediotely odjocent to the respective development, ond the brood-bosed
county-level funding sources (i.e., Riverside County's holf-cent soles tox known os

The forecost of future congestion levels is derived from Yeor 2040 No-Build trovel

The colculoted volues were compored to ossess the totol chonge between 2Ol2
Boseline ond 2040 No-Build. ond the overoge onnuol chonge between 20l2 Boseline
ond 2040 No-Build. As con be seen from the RivTAM outputs summorized in loble 3.1.
the odditionol troffic generoted by new development will couse VMT on the orteriol
highwoy network to increose by opproximotely 74% by the yeor 2040 (opproximotely
2.0% per yeor). ln the obsence of odditionol improvements to the tronsportotion
network in Western Riverside County, the growth in VMT will couse congestion on the
highwoy system to increose olmost exponentiolly, with the most significont increose in
congestion observed on the orteriol highwoy system thot includes the TUMF Network.
Mony focilities will experience o significont increose in vehicle deloy ond deteriorotion
in LOS to unocceptoble levels os o result of new development ond the ossocioted
growth in troffic. According to the Hiqhwov Copocitv Monuol (Tronsportotion Reseorch
Boord, 2010), LOS C or D ore required to "ensure on occeptoble operoting service for
focility users." LOS E is generolly recognized to represent the threshold of unocceptoble
operoting service ond the onset of substontiolsystemic troffic congestion.
The Conoestion Monooement Proqrom for Riverside County (CMP) published by the
Riverside County Tronsportotion Commission (RCTC) in 201 I designotes LOS E os the
"troffic stondords must be set no lower thon LOS E for ony segment or intersection olong
the CMP System of Highwoys ond Roodwoys" in Riverside County. "The intent of the
CMP is to more directly link lond use, tronsportotion. ond oir quolity, thereby prompting
reosonoble growth monogement progroms thot will effectively utilize new
tronsportotion funds, olleviote troffic congestion ond reloted impocts, ond improve oir
quolity." I The CMP provides o mechonism for monitoring congestion on the highwoy
system ond, where congestion is observed, estoblishes procedures for developing o
deficiency plon to oddress improvement needs. The reoctive noture of the CMP to
identify ond remediote existing congestion differs from the prooctive noture of the TUMF
progrom to onticipote ond provide for future troffic needs. For this reoson, the TUMF
progrom follows the guidonce of the Hiqhwov Copocitv Monuol in estoblishing LOS E os

determinotion of the "foir shore" of mitigoting the cumulotive regionol impocts of future
new development on the tronsportotion system.
The continuing need for o mitigotion fee on new development is shown by the odverse
impoct thot new development will hove on Western Riverside County's tronsportotion
infrostructure, ond in porticulor, the orteriol highwoy network. As o result of the new
development ond ossocioted growth in populotion ond employment in Western
Riverside County, odditionol pressure will be ploced on the tronsportotion infrostructure
with the totol VMT on the Western Riverside County Regionol System of Highwoys ond
Arteriols (RSHA; olso referred to os the TUMF Network) estimoted to increose by
opproximotely 63% or 1.8% compounded onnuolly.
As shown in Toble 3.1, the VMT on orteriol focilities within the TUMF Network experiencing
LOS of E or worse will increose by opproximotely 253% or 4.6% compounded onnuolly in
Western Riverside County in the period between 2012 ond 2040. By 2OaO, 57% of Ihe
totol VMT on the TUMF orteriol highwoy system is forecost to be troveling on focilities
experiencing doily LOS E or worse. Without improvements to the TUMF orteriol highwoy
system, the totol vehicle hours of deloy (VHD) experienced by oreo motorists on TUMF
orteriol highwoys will increose by opproximotely 4.9% per yeor. The combined
influences of increosed trovel demond ond worsened LOS thot monifest themselves in
severe congestion ond deloy highlight the continuing need to complete substontiol
copocity exponsion on the TUMF orteriol highwoy system to mitigote the cumulotive
regionol impoct of new development.
The RivTAM outputs summorized in Toble 3.1 cleorly demonstrote thot the trovel
demonds generoted by future new development in the region will leod to increosing
levels of troffic congestion, especiolly on the orteriol roodwoys. The need to improve
these roodwoys to occommodote the onticipoted growth in VMT ond relieve future
congestion is therefore directly linked to the future development which generotes the
odditionol trovel demond.
3.2 Future Trqnsil Ulilizqtion Levels
ln oddition to the roodwoy network, public tronsportotion will ploy o role in serving
future trovel demond in the region. Tronsit represents o criticol component of the
tronsportotion system by providing on olternotive mode choice for those not wonting to
use on outomobile, ond porticulorly for those who do not reodily hove occess to on
outomobile. As populotion ond employment in Western Riverside County grows os o
result of new development, demond for regionol tronsit services in the region is olso
expected to grow.
While some future tronsit trips will be occommodoied by inter-regionol tronsit services
such os Metrolink, o substontiol number of the trips within Western Riverside County will
be served by bus tronsit services ond for this reoson the provision of regionol bus tronsit
service is considered integrol to oddressing the cumulotive regionol tronsportotion
impocts of new developments. Regionol bus tronsit services within Western Riverside
County ore primorily provided by RTA. To support the evoluotion of regionol bus service

ridership for 20l5 ond 2025 were interpoloted to 201 2 ond 2040 to represent existing ond
future tronslt trips consistent with the onolysis of highwoy trlps described in Seclion 3.1.
The interpoloted yeor 2012 ond yeor 2O4O existing ond future tronsit ridership were
compored in order to ossess the lmpoct of new development on tronsit demond. The
weekdoy projected system ridership indicotes thot RTA bus tronsit services
occommodote opproximotely 31,0.I5 riders per doy in Western Riverside County in 2015.
By 2025, bus tronsit services ore forecost to serve opproximotely 46,572 riders per
weekdoy. This represents on increose in projected weekdoy ridership of 15,556
between 20i5 ond 2025, or on overoge increose of ,l,414 weekdoy riders eoch yeor.
Bosed on these projected weekdoy ridership levels ond rote of ridership growth eoch

2040 ore included in Appendix D.
The significont future growth in demond for public tronsit services is reflective of the
cumulotive regionol impocts of new development, ond the ossocioted increose in
demond for oll types of tronsportotion infrostructure ond services to occommodote this
growth. Furthermore, bus tronsit ridership is expected to grow os the improved services
being plonned ond implemented by RTA ottrocts new riders ond encouroges existing
riders to use tronsit more often os on olternotive to drlving. Attrocting odditionol ridersto bus tronsit services contrlbutes to the mitigotion of the cumulotive regionol
tronsportotion impocts of new development by reduclng the number of trips thot need
to be served on the highwoy system. The need to provide odditionol bus tronsit services
within Western Riverside County to sotisfy this future demond is therefore directly linked
to the future development thot generotes the demond.
3.3 The TUMF Concept
A sizoble percentoge of trip-moking for ony given locol community extends beyond the
bounds of the individuol community os residents pursue employment, educotion,
shopping ond entertoinment opportunities elsewhere. As new development occurs
within o porticulor locol community, this migrotion of trips of oll purposes by new
residents ond the new business thot serve them contributes to the need for
tronsportotion improvements within their community ond in the other communities of
Western Riverside County. The ideo behind o uniform mitigotion fee is to hove new
development throughout the region contribute uniformly to poying the foir shore cost of
improving the tronsportotion focilities thot serve these longer-distonce trips between
communities. Thus, the fee is intended to be used primorily to improve tronsportotion

focilities thot serve trips between communities within the region (in porticulor, orteriol
roodwoys ond regionol bus tronsit services).
Some roodwoys serve trips between odjocent communities, while some olso serve trips
between more distont communities within the region. The differing roodwoy functions
led to the concept of using o portion of the fee revenues for o bockbone system of
orteriol roodwoys thot serve the longer-distonce trips (i.e. using TUMF revenues from the
entire region), while using o second portion of the fee revenues for o secondory system
of orteriols thot serve lnter-community trips within o specific subregion or zone (i.e. using
TUMF revenues from the communities most directly served by these roods - in effect, o
return-to-source of thot portion of the funds). Reflecting the importonce of public
tronsit service in meeting regionol trovel needs, o third portion of fee revenues wos
reserved for improvements to regionol bus lronsii services (i.e. using TUMF revenues from
the entire region).
Much, but not oll, of the new trip-moking in o given oreo is generoted by residentiol
development (i.e. when people move into new homes. they creote new trips on the
tronsportotion system os they trovel to work, school. shopping or entertoinment). Some
of the new trips ore generoted simply by octivities ossocioted with new businesses (i.e.
new businesses will creote new lrips through the delivery of goods ond services, etc.).
With the exception of commute trips by locol residents coming to ond from work, ond
the trips of locol residents coming to ond from new businesses to get goods ond
services, the trovel demonds of new businesses ore not directly ottributoble to
residentiol development. The considerotion of different sources of new trovel demond
is therefore reflected in the concept of ossessing both residentiol ond non-residentiol
development for their reloted tronsportotion impocts.
ln summory, the TUMF concept includes the following:

of orteriol roodwoys thot serve longer-distonce trips within the region; o portion of
the fee is returned to the subregion or zone in which it wos generoted to fund
copocity improvements on o secondory system of orteriol roodwoys thot link the
communities in thot oreo; ond o portion of the fee is used to fund improvements to
reglonol bus tronsit services thot serve longer-distonce trips between the
communities within the region.

4.3 Future Roodwoy Tronsporlolion Needs
For the purpose of colculoting o "foir shore" fee for new development, it is necessory to
estimote the cost of improvements on the TUMF system thot will be needed to mitigote
the cumulotive regionol impocts of future tronsportotion demonds creoted by new
development. Estimoies of the cost to improve the network to mitigote the cumulotive
impocts of new development were originolly developed bosed on unit costs prepored
for the Coochello Volley Associotion of Governments (CVAG) Reqionol Arteriol Cost
Estimote (RACE)e, ond the WRCOG Southwest District SATISFY 2020 Summorv of Cost
Estimotesro (TKC/WRCOG 2000). The RACE cost estimotes were developed bosed on o
summory of octuol construction costs for projects constructed in Riverside County in
1998.
The initiol unit cost estimotes for the TUMF (bosed on infloted RACE cost estimotes) were
reviewed in the context of the SATISFY 2020 DrofI Cost Estimotes ond were consolidoted
to provide typicol improvement costs for eoch eligible improvement type. The
refinement of unit costs wos completed to simplify the process of estimoting the cost to
improve the entire TUMF network. Bosed on RACE ond SATISFY 2020, consolidoted cost
estimotes included typicol per mile or lump sum costs for eoch of the improvement
types eligible under the TUMF Progrom. The resultont revised unit cost estimotes were
used os the bosis for estimoting the cost to complete the necessory improvements to
the TUMF network to mitigote the cumulotive regionol tronsportotion impocts of new
development.
Voriotions in the consolidoted cost estimotes for specific improvement types were
provided to reflect differences in topogrophy ond lond use ocross the region. Unit costs
for roodwoy construction were originolly voried to occount for voriotions in construction
cost (ond in porticulor, roodwoy excovotion ond embonkment cost) ossocioted with
construction on level (code I ) rolling (code 2) ond mountoinous (code 3) terroin,
respectively. Right-of-woy ocquisition costs which originolly included considerotion for
lond ocquisillon, documentotion ond legol fees, relocotion ond demolition costs,
condemnotion compensotion requirements, utility relocotion, ond environmentol
mitigotion costs were olso voried to occount for voriotlons in right-otwoy costs
ossocioted with urbon (developed commerciol/residentiol mixed uses - code l),
suburbon (developed residentlol uses - code 2) ond rurol (undeveloped uses - code 3)
lond uses, respectively. Lump sum costs for interchonge improvements were originolly
voried to occount for voriotions in cost ossocioted with new complex, new stondord (or
fully reconstructed). or mojor (or portiolly reconstructed) or minor (individuol romp
improvements) interchonge improvements.
As port of the 2016 TUMF Nexus Updote, the originol unit cost cotegories were revised to

yeors, regionol infrostructure projects ore expected to generote opproximotely $250
million in funding for the MSHCP" bosed on mitigotion of 5% of construction costs. To
cleorly demonstrote complionce with the provisions of the MSHCP, the TUMF Progrom
will incorporote o cost element to occount for the required MSHCP contribution to
mitigote the multi-species hobitot impocts of constructing TUMF projects. ln
occordonce with the A/SHCP Nexus Report, on omount equol Io 5% of the construction
cost for new TUMF network lones. bridges ond roilrood grode seporotions will be
specificolly included os port of TUMF Progrom with revenues to be provided to the
Western Riverside County Regionol Conservotion Authority (RCA) for the ocquisition of

ond performonce guidelines (outlined in Section 4.1) were initiolly used os o bosis for
determining the needed network improvements. The initiol list of improvements
needed to provide for the troffic generoted by new development wos then compored
with locol Generol Plon Circulotion Elements to ensure thot the TUMF network included
plonned orteriol roodwoys of regionol significonce. A consolidoted list of proposed
improvements ond the unit cost ossumptions were then used to estoblish on initiol
estimote of the cost to improve the network to provide for future troffic growth
ossocioted with new development. This initiol list of proposed improvements hos since
been revised ond updoted os port of eoch subsequent Nexus Updote to reflect the

improvements to mitigote the odditionol troffic resulting from future development in
Western Riverside County. Representotives of privote development firms ond the BIA
hove continued to porticipote in the process of developing ond updoting the TUMF
Progrom. This involvement hos included octive porticipotion of prlvote developer stoff
of vorious workshops conducted of criticol milestone points in the process of
completing the Nexus updote, os well os o formol review of the TUMF Network ond
ossocioted elements of the Nexus Study by the BIA ond their hired consultont stoff.
As port of the 2015 Nexus Updote. the list of proposed improvements included in the
initiol Nexus Study ond volidoted during the subsequent Nexus updotes wos reviewed
for occurocy ond, where necessory, omended to remove or modify projects thot hove
chonged in need to mitigote impocts bosed on chonges in the potterns of growth ond
trovel demond within the region. Projects completed since the odoption of the 2009
Nexus Updote were olso removed from the network to reflect the foct thot mitigotion ot
these locotions is no longer required. The specific network chonges were screened by
the WRCOG Public Works Committee for consistency with TUMF network guidelines
including trovel demond ond troffic performonce, ond were subsequently reviewed by
representotives of the public ond privotes sectors of o series of workshop meetings
conducted between November 20'14 ond Jonuory 2015.
ln response to the releose of the 20,l5 Nexus Updote droft study document, the TUMF
Network wos further reviewed by o consultont teom hired by the BlA, with findings ond
recommendotions provided in o letter doted August 8,2015. A finol review of the TUMF
Network ond ossocioted improvements wos conducted by WRCOG stoff in
cooperotion with the Public Works Commlttee during the summer ond foll of 2015
specificolly in conjunction with the 2016 Nexus Updote to include considerotion of the
revised trovel forecosts bosed on the SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS demogrophic forecosts.
Bosed on the findings of the network screening, workshop meetings ond other reviews,
elements of specific projects were revised to reflect necessory network corrections ond

All eligible lmprovement types provide odditionol copocity to Network focilities to
occommodote future troffic growth generoted by new development in Western
Riverside County. Following the comprehensive updote of the TUMF Progrom, the
estimoted totol cost to improve the RSHA for Western Riverside County is $3.45 billion
with this cost including oll orteriol highwoy ond street plonning, engineering, design,
right-of-woy ocquisition ond copitol construction costs, but not including tronsit, MSHCP
or progrom odminlstrotion costs thot will be subsequently described. lt should be noted
thot the full cost to improve the TUMF Network connot be entirely ottributed to new
development ond must be odjusted to occount for the previous obligotion of other
funds to complete necessory improvements ond unfunded existing needs. Seclions 4.5
ond 4.6 describe the odjustments to the totol TUMF Network improvement need to
occount for exlsting needs ond obligoted funds.
ln oddition to the orteriol highwoy ond street lmprovement costs indicoted obove, the
TUMF Nexus Updote included specific considerotion for the TUMF Progrom obligotion to
the MSHCP progrom to mitigote the impoct of TUMF network lmprovements on species
ond hobitot within Western Riverside County. The TUMF obligotion to MSHCP wos
colculoted of o rote of 5% of the totol construction (copitol) cost of new lone
segments. bridges ond roilrood grode seporotions on the TUMF Network. The totol
obligotion to the MSHCP os indicoted in the TUMF Network cost fee toble is
opproximotely $45.4 million, olthough the totol obligotion specific to the TUMF progrom
is reduced to occount for MSHCP obligotions ossocioted with improvements oddressing
existing needs ond therefore excluded from TUMF.
The TUMF 2015 Nexus Updote similorly lncludes speciflc considerotion of the costs
ossocioted with WRCOG odministrotion of the TUMF Progrom. The overoge cost for
WRCOG to odminister the TUMF Progrom wos colculoted of o rote of 4% of the totol
eligible cost of new lone segments (including interchonges. bridges ond roilrood grode
seporotions) on the TUMF Network ond new tronsit services. Admlnistrotion costs
incurred by WRCOG include direct solory. fringe benefit ond overheod costs for
WRCOG stoff ossigned to odminister the progrom ond support porticipoting
jurisdictions, ond costs for consultont, legol ond ouditing services to support the
implementotion of the TUMF progrom. The toiol cost for WRCOG odministrotion of the
TUMF Progrom os indicoted in the TUMF Network cost fee toble is opproximotely $l .l2.2

centers. ln Western Riverside County, these bus tronsit services ore typicolly provided by
RTA. Tronsit needs to serve future regionol trovel in Western Riverside County vio bus
tronsit include vehicle ocquisitions, tronsit centers. express bus stop upgrodes,
mointenonce focilities ond other ossocioted copitol improvements to develop express
bus or other high frequency inter-community tronsit bus services wlthin the region.
Metrolink commuter roil service improvements were not included in the TUMF Progrom
os they typicolly serve longer inter-regionol commute trips equivolent to freewoy trips
on the inter-regionol highwoy system.
The network of regionolly significont bus tronsit services represents those express bus
ond other high frequency tronsit bus servlces thot primorily support inter-community trips
in Western Riverside County ond supplement the regionol highwoy system ond inter-
regionol commuter roil services. As o result. this portion of the bus tronsit system olso
represents the extents of the network of bus services thot would be eligible for TUMF
funded improvements.
The TUMF Bus Tronsit Network is the system of bus services thot serve inter-community
trips within Western Riverslde County ond therefore ore eligible for improvement funding
with TUMF funds. The Bus Tronsit Network for Western Riverside County wos identified
bosed on severoltronsit network ond performonce guidelines os follows:

RESOLUTION NO. 2017 – _________
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE
SCHEDULE
Whereas,the City of Lake Elsinore (City) is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and
seventeen 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 (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, in furtherance of this plan, the WRCOG Executive Committee adopted the “Western
Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study”, dated October 18, 2002, (2002 Nexus
Study); and,
Whereas, based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1096 on (TUMF
Ordinance) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq.authorizing the City to
impose the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) upon new development; and,
Whereas,WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF 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. 1096, the
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 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,
CC Reso. No. 2017-
Page 2 of 5
Whereas,the 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 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 TUMF Ordinance shall be used to help pay for the design,
planning, construction of and real 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; and,
Whereas, by notice duly given and published, the Council set the time and place for a Public
Hearing on the 2016 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder and at least 10 days prior to
this hearing, the Council made the 2016 Nexus Study available to the public; and,
Whereas,at the time and place set for the hearing, the 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,the Council finds that the 2016 Nexus Study proposes a fair and equitable method for
distributing a portion of the unfunded costs of improvements and facilities to the Regional system;
and,
Whereas,Section 4.C. of the TUMF Ordinance authorizes periodic review and adjustment to the
applicable TUMF in 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1.Findings. The recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as findings in support of
this Resolution. In addition, the City Council re-adopts the findings contained in Section 1 of
