Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 2
Resolution that are necessary to maintain the community's level of service and thereby meet the
transportation demands of new residents, businesses, employees, customers, and other users of
local streets and transportation facilities through build out under the General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the Report, the General Plan and the General Plan EIR describe the impacts
of contemplated future development on existing transportation facilities in the City of Petaluma
and analyze the need for the new transportation facilities required by future development within
the City of Petaluma, as described herein and in the Report; and,
WHEREAS, the Report sets forth the relationship between contemplated future
development, the traffic Facilities required to serve such development, and the estimated cost of
the needed traffic Facilities; and,
WHEREAS, the Report estimates the cost in current dollars of those improvements,
assigns the portion of those costs attributable to new development, and calculates the fees
necessary to raise the revenue necessary to pay for the portion of the improvement costs
attributable to new development; and,
WHEREAS, the Report identifies a component of the cost of the Old Redwood
Highway/U.S. 101 Interchange Project and the Rainier Avenue/U.S. 101 Interchange Project to
which funds of the former Petaluma Community Development Commission ( "PCDC ") have
been committed in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Law and through
cooperative agreements with the Sonoma County Transportation Authority and CalTrans, the
binding nature of which commitments has been disputed by the State Department of Finance
pursuant to ABxl 26 as of the time of adoption of this Resolution; and,
WHEREAS, the Report identifies the disputed funds as a "Redevelopment Supplement"
of $18.8 million dollars that the Report includes in the cost of the Traffic Impact Fee program so
that Traffic Fee proceeds are sufficient to fund the Old Redwood Highway and Rainier Avenue
interchange improvements in case the City is ultimately unsuccessful in obtaining confirmation
from the State Department of Finance or the courts that the disputed funds are in fact legally
binding obligations of the City as successor agency to the former PCDC; and,
WHEREAS, on April 2, 2014 the City received approval from the California Department
of Finance of it Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July through
December 2014, including $8,836,001 ( "Bond Proceeds "), representing the balance of the
proceeds of bonds issued by the former PCDC on or before December 31, 2010; and, for
construction of the Old Redwood highway Interchange.
WHEREAS, the Bond Proceeds have been applied to partly satisfy the City's obligation
to provide funding for the Old Redwood highway Interchange Project, permitting a reduction of
the $18.8 million dollar Redevelopment Supplement that would otherwise be needed to cover the
funds of the former PCDC on which the City relied to fund the Old Redwood highway and
Rainier projects, and as well permitting a corresponding reduction in the Traffic Development
Impact Fee, resulting in a reduction of the Redevelopment Supplement and a commensurate
reduction in the Traffic Development Impact Fee from the original $18.8 million specified in the
Report to a new total of $9,972,739, which cost of the new, reduced Redevelopment Supplement
is included in the updated Traffic Development Impact Fee; and,
WHEREAS, the Report demonstrates the appropriateness of updating the Traffic
Development Impact Fee based on current estimates of the need for and cost of transportation
improvements needed to accommodate new development, including (1) an analysis of existing
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 3
roadways, transportation facilities and land available for such facilities; (2) an estimate of the
increase in the City's service population at build out; (3) the cost of providing the transportation
improvements identified as necessary to meet the demands of the estimated increase in the City's
service population at build out; and (4) other sources of funding, such as the Bond Proceeds, that
may be applied to City transportation improvement projects; and,
WHEREAS, The Traffic Development Impact Fee is not a "tax" as defined in Section 1,
paragraph (e) of Article XIIIC of the California Constitution ( "Proposition 26 ") because such fee
is imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not
provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of
providing the service or product; and /or the fee is imposed for a specific government service or
product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does
not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of providing the service or product; and /or the fee is
imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to the City of issuing licenses and permits,
performing investigations, inspections and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders and
the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof, and /or the fee is imposed as a condition
of property development; and,
WHEREAS, the Traffic Development Impact Fee is not subject to the requirements of
Article XIIID of the California Constitution ( "Proposition 218 ") concerning property related
assessments and fees pursuant to Apartment Association of Los Angeles County v. City of Los
Angeles (2001) 24 Cal.4th 830, in that such fee is not applicable to incidents of property
ownership, but rather to actual use of and need for City services and /or facilities; and,
WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code Section 50076, fees and charges that
do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service or regulatory activity for which the
fees are charged and which are not levied for general revenue purposes are not special taxes as
defined in Article 3.5 of the Government Code; and,
WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code section 66016, at least 14 days prior
to the public meeting at which the City Council considered the adoption of this Resolution,
notice of the time and place of the meeting was mailed to eligible interested parties who filed
timely written requests with the City for mailed notice of meetings on new or increased fees or

Council considered adoption of this resolution was given by publication in accordance with
Government Code Section 6062a; and,
WHEREAS, on September 10, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2444
N.C.S, which adds a new Title 19, entitled "Development Fees," to the Petaluma Municipal

FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows:
A. After considering the Report, the testimony received at the noticed public meeting
at which this resolution was considered, the accompanying staff report, the
General Plan, the General Plan EIR, and all correspondence received at or prior to
the public meeting (the "Record "), by adoption of this Resolution the City
Council hereby approves the Report as previously adopted by Resolution No.
2012 -125 N.C.S. adopted August 27, 2012; and the City Council further finds that
the future development in the City of Petaluma will generate the need for the
Facilities, as defined below, and that the Facilities are consistent with the City's
General Plan.
B. By adoption of this Resolution, the City Council also approves and adopts the
December 2015 Addendum replacing and superseding the June 2014 Addendum
and making up part of the entire Report as defined in this Resolution and which is
hereby made a part of and incorporated herein by this reference as Exhibit A.
C. The City currently provides facilities to the community and the fee set forth in this
resolution will be used to maintain current service levels. As such, the Traffic
Development Impact Fee as it relates to development within the City is not a
"project" within the meaning of CEQA (Pub. Res. Code §21080(b)(8)(D)).
D. In adopting this resolution, the City Council is exercising its powers under Article
XI, § §5 and 7 of the California Constitution, Chapter 5 of Division 1 of the
Government Code ( "Mitigation Fee Act "), commencing with Section 66000,
Section 54 of the City of Petaluma Charter, and Chapter 19.24 of the Petaluma
Municipal Code, collectively and separately.
E. The Record establishes:
1. In accordance with Section 66000, subdivision a, paragraph 1 of the
Mitigation Fee Act, the purpose of the City Traffic Development Impact
Fee ( "Fee "), set forth in this Resolution, as specified in the Report, is to
provide funding to achieve the City's goal of maintaining existing traffic
service levels and provide traffic facilities to mitigate the traffic impacts of
new development within the City, consistent with the land use and
transportation polices of the General Plan by developing an overall
transportation system that will accommodate the City's expected future
traffic demand.
2. In accordance with Section 66000, subdivision a, paragraph 2 of the
Mitigation Fee Act, the Fee collected pursuant to this resolution shall be
used to help fund circulation improvement projects necessary to
accommodate future traffic demand in Petaluma as described in the
Report, the General Plan and the City's budget for capital improvements.
Such traffic Facilities, which are specifically described in the Report and
listed in Table 3 -3 of the Report, include the following:
• Rainier Avenue Extension and interchange (locally preferred
alterative)
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 5
• Caulfield Lane Extension
• Old Redwood Highway Interchange Improvements
• Caulfield Lane /Payran Street Intersection Improvements
• Petaluma Boulevard/Magnolia Avenue/Payran Street Intersection
• Construction of New Intersections throughout the City
• Traffic Signal Upgrades throughout the City
• Pedestrian/Bicycle Improvements throughout the City
• Transit Improvements throughout the City
• Redevelopment Supplement
3. In accordance with section 66000, subdivision a, paragraph 3 of the
Mitigation Fee Act, there is a reasonable relationship between the Fee's
use (to pay for the construction of the Facilities) and the type of
development for which the Fee is charged in that the fee will be applied to
all development in the City — including residential, commercial, office,
and industrial development projects, which will generate new demands for
traffic facilities. As described in the Report, different types of
development generate traffic with different characteristics. The
calculations presented in tables 3 -7 and 3 -8 of the Report account for these
different characteristics by applying different per -unit fee factors to each
type of development. These considerations account for the differential
impacts on the local transportation system generated by different
development types.
4. In accordance with Section 66000, subdivision a, paragraph 4, of the
Mitigation Fee Act, there is a reasonable relationship between the need for
the Facilities and the types of development projects on which the Fee is
imposed in that the Fee will be applied to new development in the City of
Petaluma — both residential and non - residential. These development
projects will generate new residents and employees who live, work, and /or
shop in Petaluma and who generate or contribute to the need for traffic
facilities as follows:
• New residents and employees will add vehicle trips to transportation
infrastructure, including roadways, intersections, interchanges and
traffic signals.
• New residents and employees will add pedestrian and bicycle trips to
pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
• New residents and employees will use City transit facilities and
services.
The need for the traffic facilities listed in Table 3 -3 of the Report has been
established through the development of the EIR, as described in Chapter 3
of the Report. The Report indicates that there are no existing deficiencies
in any of the Facilities to be included in the City's Traffic Development
Impact Fee program, and that as a result, the program will not result in
imposition of the cost of addressing currently deficient traffic facilities on
new development. All of the traffic Facilities costs allocated to new
development under the Fee program are allocable to new development in
accordance with the analysis in the report, either in their entirety, or
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 6
according to the fair percentage allocable to new development as indicated
in the Report.
5. In accordance with Section 66000, subdivision b of the Mitigation Fee
Act, there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the Fee and
the cost of the Facilities, or the portion thereof attributable to the
development in the City on which the Fee is imposed in that the Fee has
been calculated by apportioning the cost of the Facilities to each type of
new residential dwelling unit, and to the "dwelling unit equivalent" or
DUE of each non - residential (commercial, office and industrial) use. For
Facilities that are necessary solely because of future development, the fall
cost of the Facilities has been allocated to the Fee. For Facilities that will
serve existing and future residents and employees, the costs have been
allocated proportionally. The analysis presented in the Report accounts for
existing deficiencies in the local transportation system and does not
include the cost of rectifying deficiencies in the fee program. The costs
attributable to traffic demand generated outside the City of Petaluma are
similarly excluded from the program. Thus, the City's Fee program
allocates to new development only the cost of public improvements
attributable to new development within Petaluma. Tables 3 -9, 3 -10 and 3-
11 in the Report provide detailed information on these calculations
6. The cost estimates set forth in the Report are reasonable estimates for
constructing or acquiring the Facilities, and the Fees expected to be
generated by future development will not exceed the projected cost of
constructing and /or acquiring the Facilities.
7. The method of allocation of the Fee to a particular development bears a
fair relationship and is roughly proportional to each development's burden
on and benefits from the Facilities to be funded by the Fee, in that the Fee
is calculated based traffic impacts each particular development will
generate.
The Report is a detailed analysis of how traffic services will be affected by
development in the City and the public facilities required to accommodate
that development.
The Fee is consistent with the General Plan and, pursuant to Government
Code Section 65913.2; the City Council has considered the effects of the
Fee with respect to the City's housing needs as established in the housing
element of the General Plan.
10. The Fee amounts set forth in Exhibit A include the reasonable costs of
administration and compliance of the Fee program with the requirements
of the Mitigation Fee Act and other applicable law. The Fee program and
administration cost is calculated to be approximately .074% of the total
Fee as shown in Table 3 -11 and Appendix C of the Report.

Avenue/U.S. 101 Interchange Projects to which funds of the former PCDC
were committed in accordance with the Community Redevelopment Law
and through cooperative agreements between the City and the Sonoma
County Transportation Agency and CalTrans, the binding nature of which
commitments has been disputed by the State Department of Finance
pursuant to ABxl -26 as of the time of adoption of this Resolution. Such
disputed former PCDC funds are referred to in this Resolution and the
Report (see, e.g., Tables 3 -3 and 3 -11 of the Report) as the Redevelopment
Supplement, and have been included in the costs of the Traffic
Development Impact Fee program to ensure that Fee proceeds are
sufficient to fund the Old Redwood Highway and Rainier Avenue
interchange improvements in case the City is ultimately unsuccessful in
obtaining confirmation from the State Department of Finance or the courts
that the disputed funds are in fact a legally binding obligation of the City
as successor agency to the former PCDC. On April 2, 2014 the City
received approval from the California Department of Finance of it
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July
through December 2014, including bond proceeds of the former PCDC in
the amount of $8,836,001 representing the balance of former PCDC bond
proceeds issued on or before December 31, 2010. Allocation of such funds
to the City's obligation to fund construction costs of the Old Redwood
Highway Interchange results in a reduction of the Redevelopment
Supplement and makes possible a commensurate reduction in the Traffic
Development Impact Fee. Application of the former PCDC bond proceeds
results in a new Redevelopment Supplement amount reduced from the
original $18.8 million to a new total of $9,972,739. The cost of the new,
reduced Redevelopment Supplement is included in the updated Traffic
Development Impact Fee.
o. "Senior Housing" shall mean senior housing Development as defined in
the Report.
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 10
P. "Single Family Residential" shall mean detached, single- family dwelling
unit development as defined in the Report, as adopted by the City.

Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act and Chapter 19.24 of the City of Petaluma
Municipal Code, a Traffic Development Impact Fee ( "Fee ") shall be imposed and
paid at the times and in the amounts and otherwise apply and be administered as
prescribed in this Resolution on each type of development set forth in Exhibit A,
which is attached to and made a part of this Resolution, including each portion of
such Development within Mixed Development.
Time for Imposing Fee.
In accordance with Government Code Section 65961, the Fee for residential
subdivision development for which tentative or parcel maps are required pursuant
to the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) shall be
imposed at the time of approval of the conditions that apply to the tentative or
parcel map for such residential subdivision development, as applicable. Payment
of the Fee shall be deemed to be a condition of all such tentative or parcel maps.
Notwithstanding this Section 3, the time for payment of the Fee for all
development, including Single Family Residential and Multiple Family
Residential subdivisions, shall be as specified in Section 4, below.
4. Time for Fee Pament.
a. In accordance with Government Code Section 66007, the Fee shall be
charged and paid for each residential development upon the date of final
inspection or issuance of the certificate of occupancy for such residential
development, whichever is earlier; however, if the Fee is to reimburse the
City for expenditures previously made, or if the City determines that the
Fee will be collected for Facilities for which an account has been
established and funds appropriated and for which the City has adopted a
proposed construction schedule prior to issuance of the building permit for
such residential development, then the Fee shall be charged and paid upon
issuance of the building permit for such residential development.
However, with respect to a residential development proposed by a
nonprofit housing developer in which at least forty -nine percent (49 %) of
the total units are reserved for occupancy by lower income households, as
defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5, at an affordable rent,
as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50053, the payment
procedures described in Government Code Section 66007(b)(2)(A) -(B)
shall apply.
b. The Fee shall be charged and paid for each non - residential Development
upon issuance of the building permit for such non - residential
Development.
C. The Fee shall be charged and paid for each Mixed Development upon the
times specified in this Section 4 that apply to such Mixed Development.
For example, if a Mixed Development includes residential Development
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 11
and non - residential Development, and the Fee is to reimburse the City for
expenditures previously made, or the City has made the required
determination to permit requiring payment of the Fee upon issuance of the
building permit, and the procedures in Government Code section
66007(b)(2)(A) -(B) do not apply, the Fee as applicable to the entire mixed
development shall be paid upon issuance of the building permit for the
Mixed Development. If a Mixed Development includes residential and
non - residential development, and the Fee is not to reimburse the City for
expenditures previously made or the City has not made the required
determination to permit requiring payment of the Fee upon issuance of the
building permit, the Fee as to the residential portion of the mixed
development shall be paid upon the earlier of the date of final inspection
or issuance of the certificate of occupancy for such residential portion, and
the Fee as to the non - residential portion of the Mixed Development shall
be paid upon issuance of the building permit for such non - residential
portion.
Amount of Fee.
a. The amount of the Fee for residential and non - residential development
shall be as set forth in Exhibit B.
b. The amount of the Fee for Mixed Development shall be the sum of the
following, as applicable:
1. The applicable amount per unit pursuant to Section 5(a), above, for
each residential development within a Mixed Development.
2. The applicable amount per 1,000 square feet of Development or per
other applicable unit pursuant to Section 5(a), above, for each
nonresidential Development or portion of such Development within a
Mixed Development.
C. Any non - residential development on property on which a building or
structure was demolished or on which the use of an existing structure
changes to a more intensive use shall pay a prorated fee equal to the fee
calculated pursuant to this resolution that is applicable to the new
development or use, less the fee applicable to the prior development or
use, so long as such prior use was in existence at the time of adoption of
General Plan 2025.
d. Any development on any parcel any portion of which is located within one
half -mile of any portion of a parcel identified as a possible future location
for a SMART Rail Station on which parcel proposed for development a
building or structure was demolished or on which the use of an existing
structure changes to a more intensive use shall pay a prorated fee equal to
the fee calculated pursuant to this resolution that is applicable to the new
development or use, less the fee applicable to the prior development or
use, so long as such prior use was in existence at the time of adoption of
General Plan 2025.
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 12
e. In accordance with Government Code section 66005.1, housing
developments with common ownership and financing where not less than
50 percent of the floor space is for residential use and that satisfy all of the
following characteristics will be eligible for a reduced Fee reflecting the
lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with such
developments, unless the City adopts findings after a public hearing
establishing that a housing development would not generate a lower rate
of automobile trips than housing development that does not satisfy the
requirements of this provision:
• The housing development is located within 1/2 mile of a transit
station as defined in Government Code section 65460.1, including
planned transit stations whose construction is programmed to be
completed prior to completion and occupancy of the housing
development, and there is direct access between the housing
development and the transit station along a barrier -free, walkable
pathway not exceeding 1/2 mile in length);
• Convenience retail uses, including a store that sells food, are
located within 1/2 mile of the housing development;
• The housing development provides no more than the minimum
number of parking spaces required by local ordinance, or not more
than one onsite parking space for zero to two bedroom units, and
two onsite parking spaces for three or more bedroom units,
whichever is less.
The reduced Fee, if any, applicable to housing developments that meet the
requirements of this provision as determined by the City will be determined on a
project -by- project basis. Any applicable reduced Fee amounts must be supported
by a development- specific trip generation analysis acceptable to City staff that
substantiates a lower trip generation rate for a housing development that meets the
requirements of this provision as compared with housing developments that do
not meet the requirements of this provision.
6. Designation of Developments.
Nonresidential developments, other than Mixed Developments (but including
non - residential developments within Mixed Developments) that are not within the
definition of a use defined in this resolution shall be assigned to one of the
defined use categories by the City Manager for purposes of imposition and
charging of the Fee. The City Manager shall assign such categories as consistently
as possible within the definitions of such categories established pursuant to this
resolution or as later amended by the City Council. The City Manager may also
designate Development as Multifamily or Single - Family based on the actual
number of dwelling units per structure within the development.
7. Inapplicability of Fee.
The Fee shall not apply to:
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 13
a. Any alteration or addition to a residential structure, except to the extent
that a residential unit is added to a single family residential unit or another
unit is added to an existing multi - family residential unit.
b. Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing residential structure that
has been destroyed or demolished, if the building permit for reconstruction
is obtained within one year after the building was destroyed or
demolished. This subsection shall not apply if the replacement or
reconstruction increases the square footage of the structure by 50 percent
(50 %) or more.
C. Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing non - residential structure
that has been destroyed or demolished, if the building permit for
reconstruction is obtained within one year after the building was destroyed
or demolished, there is no change in the land use designation of the
property, and the square footage of the replacement building does not
exceed the square footage of the building that was destroyed or
demolished.
d. Any addition to an existing non - residential structure of 500 square feet or
less.
e. Any public or quasi - public development on lands designated Public /Semi-
Public or Education on the General Plan Land Use Map, as of the effective
date of the Fee, so long as such development is intended to serve
development in the City and does not itself generate a need for additional
public infrastructure needed to serve new development, as in the way new
residential development generates new residents requiring City services,
and new non - residential development generates new employees in the City
using City services.
f. The City Council, in its discretion, may determine that the Fee is
inapplicable to certain development constructed or to be constructed by a
public entity on land having an appropriate General Plan land use
designation provide that the City Council finds that such inapplicability is
in the interest of the public health, safety and /or welfare, for reasons
specified in the findings. Such reasons may include, but are not limited to,
that the Fee as it would apply to such development by a public entity will
be sufficiently recovered in whole or in part from residential development,
the residents of which may constitute the primary users of the public entity
development.
8. Use of Fee Revenue.
The revenues raised by payment of the Fee shall be placed in a separate, interest
bearing account to permit accounting for such revenues and the interest that they
generate. Such revenues and interest shall be used only for the Facilities and the
purposes for which the Fee was collected, which are the following:
a. To pay for design, engineering, right -of -way or land acquisition and
construction and /or acquisition of the Facilities and reasonable costs of
outside consultant studies related thereto;
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 14
b. To reimburse the City for the Facilities constructed by the City with funds
from other sources including funds from other public entities, unless the
City funds were obtained from grants or gifts intended by the grantor to be
used for the Facilities;
C. To reimburse developers who have designed and constructed any of the
Facilities with prior City approval and have entered into an agreement, as
provided in Section 9, below; and
d. To pay for and /or reimburse costs of program development and ongoing
administration and maintenance of the Fee program, including, but not
limited to, the cost of studies, legal costs, and other costs of updating the
Fee.
9. Credits and Reimbursement for Developer Constructed Facilities.
The City and a developer may enter into an improvement agreement to allow the
developer to construct certain of the Facilities. Entering such an agreement is in
the City's sole discretion. Such agreement shall provide for security for the
developer's commitment to construct the Facilities and shall refer to this
resolution for credit and reimbursement. If the City enters into such an agreement
with a developer prior to construction of one or more of the Facilities, the City
shall provide the developer a credit in accordance with the following:
a. Credit Amount.
The credit shall be in the amount of the lowest bid received for
construction of the facility, as approved by the City Engineer. However, in
no event shall a credit pursuant to this provision exceed the current facility
cost. For the purposes of this section, such current facility cost shall be the
amount listed in the Report for the particular facility, as subsequently
adjusted pursuant to Sections 13 and 14 of this Resolution prior to
issuance of the building permit for that facility. Once issued, credit
pursuant to this section shall not be adjusted for inflation or any other
factor. Credit provided pursuant to this section is not transferable.
b. Application of Credit.
Developers may apply credit given pursuant to this section against the Fee
applicable to a particular project until the credit is exhausted or an excess
credit results. The total credit shall be divided by the number of units or
square footage of building space (or combination thereof for a Mixed Use
Development) to determine the amount of credit which can be applied
against the Fee for each unit of measurement and, if the credit per unit of
measure is less than the Fee per unit of measurement, the developer shall
pay the difference for each residential unit or square footage of building
space.
C. Reimbursement for Excess Credit.
Reimbursement for excess credit shall only be from remaining unspent
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 15
Fee revenues. Once all the Facilities have been constructed or acquired,
and to the extent Fee revenues are sufficient to cover all claims for
reimbursement of Fee revenues, including reimbursement for excess
credit, developers with excess credit shall be entitled to reimbursement,
subject to such developers certifying in writing to the City that the cost of
constructing the facility that resulted in an excess credit was not passed on
to homeowners, and indemnifying the City from land -owner claims for
reimbursement under the Mitigation Fee Act, and Section 66001 in
particular. If remaining Fee revenues after all of the Facilities have been
constructed or acquired are insufficient to cover all claims for
reimbursement of Fee revenues, such claims, including claims for
reimbursement of excess credit, shall be reimbursed on a pro rata basis in
accordance with applicable law.
10. Standards.
The standards upon which the need for the Facilities is based are the standards of
the City, including the standards contained in the General Plan and its EIR and
those City standards reflected in the Report.
11. Periodic Review.
a. During each fiscal year, the City Manager shall prepare a report for the
City Council, pursuant to Government Code Section 66006, identifying
the balance of Fee revenues in the Fee account.
b. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66002, the City Council shall also
review, as part of any adopted City Capital Improvement Plan each year,
the approximate location, size, time of availability and estimates of cost
for all Facilities to be financed with the Fee. The estimated costs shall be
adjusted in accordance with appropriate indices of inflation. The City
Council shall make findings identifying the purpose to which the existing
Fee revenue balances are to be put and demonstrating a reasonable
relationship between the Fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
12. Subsequent Analysis and Revision of the Fee.
The Fee set forth herein is adopted and implemented by the City Council in
reliance on the Record identified above. The City may continue to conduct further
study and analysis to determine whether the Fee should be revised. When
additional information is available, the City Council may review the Fee to
determine that the Fee amounts remain reasonably related to the impacts of
development within the City of Petaluma and areas included in the City's General
Plan. The City Council may revise the Fee to incorporate findings and
conclusions of further studies and any standards in General Plan and /or the
General Plan EIR, as well as increases due to inflation and increased construction
costs.
13. Fee Adjustments.
a. Annual CPI Adjustment. The Fee established will escalate or decrease
annually by the same percentage the latest "Engineering News Record
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 16
Construction Cost Index -20 City Average" ( "Index ") annually escalates
or decreases. The adjustment shall be based on a comparison of the most
recent Index to the Index in the month of adoption of the Fee, or the Index
used for the prior adjustment of the Fee. The Finance Director shall
compute the increase or decrease in such Fee. Such adjustments will take
effect each July 1 st.
b. Refund Applications Based on Redevelopment Supplement. In the case of
any development which has incurred and paid a Fee which includes the
Redevelopment Supplement, should the State Department of Finance or
the courts finally recognize the obligations of the City as successor to the
former PCDC pursuant to the above - described cooperative agreements
such that the Redevelopment Supplement is retained by the City as
successor to the former PCDC, current owners of development that paid
development fees that included the Redevelopment Supplement may apply
for a refund of the portion of the Fee that owner paid which is attributable
to the Redevelopment Supplement, subject to the following:
1. To be eligible for a refund, current development owners must certify in
writing to the City that the owner has not recovered or is not
recovering from third parties such as tenants or others the amount of
the fees paid attributable to the Redevelopment Supplement.
2. Any refunds pursuant to this provision shall only be paid from existing,
un- obligated, unspent Fee revenue balances. The City will have no
obligation to pay refunds to any owner absent sufficient existing, un-
obligated, unspent Fee revenue balance available for that purpose.
3. If existing, un- obligated, unspent Fee revenue balances are insufficient
to cover eligible applications for refund, such eligible applications
shall be paid refunds a pro rata basis in accordance with applicable
law.
14. Administrative Guidelines.
The Council may, by resolution, adopt administrative guidelines to provide
procedures for calculation, credit, reimbursement, or deferred payment and other
administrative aspects of the Fee. Such guidelines may include procedures for
construction of designated Facilities by developers.
15. Effective Date.
In accordance with California Government Code section 66017, subdivision (a),
this Resolution and the updates to the Fee pursuant to this Resolution (including,
but not limited to, the updates to the Report), shall become effective 60 days from
the date this Resolution is adopted.
16. Severability.
Each component of the Fee and all portions of this Resolution are severable.
Should any individual component of the Fee or other provision of this Resolution
be adjudged to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining component or
Resolution No. 2015 -191 N.C.S. Page 17
17.
provisions shall be and continue to be fully effective, and the Fee shall be fully
effective except as to that component that has been judged to be invalid.
Supersession/Repeal /Savings Clause.
Resolution No. 2014 -112 N.C.S. adopted July 7, 2014 is hereby repealed on the
effective date of this Resolution pursuant to Section 15. In addition, all resolutions
and parts thereof in conflict with the provisions of this resolution are superseded

Table 3 -7 recalculates the dwelling unit equivalent (DUE) factors, using updated data from the Institute
of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Handbook, 9th Edition, and SANDAG's Brief Guide of Vehicular
Traffic Generation Rates (July 2002). The "Percent New Trips" column need only be multiplied by the
peak hour trip rate in order to estimate vehicle trips per unit. Vehicle trips per unit for each land use is
then divided by the vehicle trips per single family dwelling unit to determine the DUE factor for each
land use.

Table 3 -8 recalculates the growth in DUE using the revised DUE factors from the preceding table. The
growth per dwelling unit, thousand square feet, hotel room, student or fuel position is multiplied by the
corresponding DUE factor from Table 3 -7 to convert projected growth into DUEs. Using the revised
growth scenario and revised DUE factors results in a growth increment of 12,772 DUEs, compared to the
9,096 calculated in the City's 2014 analysis. Total DUEs at buildout have also increased. These
adjustments result in new development representing a larger share of total build out DUEs, compared to
the 2014 analysis (22.43% v. 19.53 %).
