RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AMENDING THE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT
IMPACT FEE ("TDIF") SCHEDULE AND ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT TO THE TDIF,
PURSUANT TO NCMC SECTION 4.52.100, AND CONSISTENT WITH
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66017, AND APPROVING AN INCREASE
IN THE TDIF BY 2%, AS REQUIRED BY SANDAG, RESULTING IN
THE FEE ADJUSTING FROM $2,209 PER NEW RESIDENTIAL
DWELLING UNIT TO $2,254 PER UNIT BEGINNING JULY 1, 2014
WHEREAS, in November 2004, San Diego County voters approved local
Proposition A extending the TransNet'/2 cent sales tax to fund the region's transportation
system for 40 years; and
WHEREAS, as part of Proposition A and the TransNet Extension Ordinance, the
Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program ("RTCIP") was created to ensure
that new development directly invests in the region's transportation system to offset the negative
impacts of growth on congestion and mobility; and
WHEREAS, one of the requirements of the RTCIP was that by July 1, 2008, each
local agency must contribute S2,000 from exactions imposed on the private sector for each new
residence constructed within each jurisdiction. Failure to do so would result in an agency's loss
of TransNet funding for improvement of local streets. Cities have the authority to impose impact
fees under the Mitigation Fee Act contained in California Government Code sections 66000
through 66025; and
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2008, to satisfy the requirements of the TransNet 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";
and
WHEREAS, 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.
WHEREAS, on February 28, 2014 the SANDAG Board of Directors approved a
two percent (2%) adjustment to the RTCIP, raising the minimum fee from $2,209 per new
residential dwelling unit to $2,254 per unit beginning July 1, 2014, in order to maintain the
purchasing power of the program for improvements to the Regional Arterial System.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby amends the previously adopted Transportation Development Impact Fee
Schedule and annual adjustment to the TDIF, pursuant to NCMC Section 4.52.100, and
consistent with Government Code Section 66017, to maintain the purchasing power of the
program of improvements to the Regional Arial System, by approving an increase to the TDIF
by two percent (2%), as required by SANDAG, resulting in the fee adjusting from $2,209 per
new residential dwelling unit to $2,254 per unit beginning July 1, 2014.
