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, Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 3 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 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 XIIIC of the California Constitution ( "Proposition 218 ") concerning taxes because taxes as defined in the article exclude charges imposed as a condition of property development, and the Traffic Development Impact Fee is a charge 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 (also part of Proposition 218) concerning property related assessments and fees pursuant to Apartment Association of Los Angeles County v. City of Los Angeles (2001) 24 CalAth 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 service charges; and, WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code Section 66016, the Report was available for public inspection, review, and comment for ten (10) days prior to the public meeting at which the City Council considered the adoption of this resolution; and, WHEREAS, ten (10) days advance notice of the public meeting at which the City Council considered adoption of this resolution was given by publication in accordance with Government Code Section 6062a; and, Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 4 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 Code and amends, repeals and/or recodifies various provisions authorizing the City's development - related fees, including the City Facilities Development Impact Fee, Open Space Land Acquisition Fee, Park Land Acquisition Fee (Non- Quimby Act), Park Land Acquisition Fee (Quimby Act), Traffic Development Impact Fee, Water and Wastewater Capacity Fees and the Commercial Development Housing Linkage Fee; and 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 May 2016 Addendum replacing and superseding the December 2015 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 Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 5 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 Addendum 1 to the Report, include the following: • Rainier Avenue Extension and interchange (locally preferred alternative) • 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 • SMART Station Parking 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. Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 6 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 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 full 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 7 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 .74% of the total Fee as shown in Table 3 -11 and Appendix C of the Report.

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 its 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.

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.

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 Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 12 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. 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 Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 13 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: 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. Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 14 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; 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 Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 15 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 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 Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 16 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 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. Resolution No. 2016 -076 N.C.S. Page 17 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 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. 17.
