On April 1, 2008, to satisfy the requirements of the TransNet Regional
Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP) for receipt and
expenditure of TransNet funds, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2008-2310
amending Title 4 of the National City Municipal Code by adding Chapter 4.52
"Establishing and Approving a Transportation Development Impact Fee for
Capital Improvement Projects Necessary to Maintain Acceptable Levels of Traffic
and Transportation Service Within the City".
The TransNet Extension Ordinance requires that the RTCIP transportation
mitigation fee charged by local jurisdictions be adjusted every year on July 1 in
order to maintain the purchasing power of the program for improvements to the
Regional Arterial System. On February 25, 2011 the SANDAG Board of Directors
approved a 2 percent adjustment to the RTCIP, raising the minimum fee from
$2,081 per new residential dwelling unit to $2,123 per unit beginning July 1,
2011.
Per the RTCIP, local agencies are required to implement the annual fee
adjustment set by SANDAG. Failure to do so will result in loss of TransNet
funding for improvements to local streets. If adopted by City Council, the new fee
would go into effect on July 1, 2011. A copy of the City's Transportation Impact
Fee Program and fee schedule is available at the City Clerk's Office. Public
notice was provided by the City Clerk's Office in accordance with Government
Code Section 66017.
