Chapter 16.83
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE
(TUMF) PROGRAM
16.83.010 Title.
This Chapter shall be known as the “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance” and shall be added as Chapter LEMC. [Ord. 1267 § 1,
2009; Ord. 1096 § 1, 2003]. of 2017” (“Chapter” or “Chapter 16.83”).
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 1618 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 (the “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, hereinafter referred to as Exhibit “A”, is availableon file in the Office of the
City Clerk and made a part hereof.incorporated herein. 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
(the “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. 1096an ordinance
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: 20092016
Update” (“20092016 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et
seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act,), for the purpose of updating the fees. On September 14 and
October 5, 2009July 10, 2017, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 20092016
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.
C. Consistent with its previous findings made in the ordinances adopting and amending the
Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance No. 1096,
Chapter 16.83 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, 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.
D. However, the City Council realizes the impact of an economic recession on development and
the construction sector in Western Riverside County as indicated in the Addendum to the 2009
Nexus Study, available in the office of the City Clerk and made a part hereof. The City Council
finds that having the ability, by way of a resolution, to allow for a temporary 50 percent reduction
in TUMF fees through December 31, 2010, may encourage economic development by reducing
the overall cost of development. The same adjustment of the entire TUMF program will also
assure that each development continues to contribute a fair share of the total program costs
without unduly burdening later projects to make up the TUMF revenues that would be effectively
forfeited during the temporary reduction period. The City Council further finds that the resulting
minor decrease in TUMF revenues if such a reduction is adopted by resolution will not have a
material effect on the ability to fulfill the purposes of the TUMF program or the ability to make
the findings recited herein pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act.
E.
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 nonresidentialnon-residential
users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied.
F.
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
nonresidentialnon-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.
G.
F. The City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new
20092016 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.
H.
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 20092016 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.
I.
H. By notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place for a public
hearing on the 20092016 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder, and at least ten (10)
days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 20092016 Nexus Study available to the
public.
J.
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.
K.
J. The City Council finds that the 20092016 Nexus Study proposes a fair and equitable
method for distributing a portion of the unfunded costs of improvements and facilities to the
Regional system.
L.
K. The City Council hereby adopts the 20092016 Nexus Study, including its Addendum
regarding temporary fee reduction, and its findings. The 20092016 Nexus Study, is availableon
file in the Office of the City Clerk and made a part hereof. incorporated herein by reference.
L. The City Council hereby adopts this Chapter to amend and supersede the former
provisions of such chapter.
