of development project on which the fee is imposed;

facility and the type of development project on which the fee is
imposed; and

the cost of the public facility attributable to the development on
which the fee is imposed.
B. The fees collected pursuant to this resolution shall be used to finance the
public facilities described or identified in the City of Lake Elsinore Traffic Impact Fee Study or
other public traffic facility plans as may from time to time be adopted by the City Council.

in the Traffic Impact Fee Study, the Council approves such project descriptions and cost
estimates, and finds them reasonable as the basis for calculating and imposing , certain
development impact fees.

Study are consistent with the City's General Plan;

potential environmental impacts which have been identified in environmental analyses of other
planning efforts.
F. Nonresidential development contributes a significant amount of sales tas
to the City, has the potential to create a substantial number of jobs, and will enhance the City's
quality of life and produce other desirable benefits to the City such that Tr~c Infrastructure Fee
