Mayoi Brian 'Sobel shared a packet of printed information with the City 31 Council and requested they review the material as soon as possible sand' make their 32 individual recommendations to him prior to his 'next Transportation Committee 33 meeting. ; 34 TRAFFIC IMPACT:FEE ORDINANCE 35 The 'City, Council discussed the proposed ordinance establishing a traffic impact fee 36 with, ". the consultant and staff. Consultant.Bill Hendrickson described the 37 Government Code Section 66000 et seq. requirement as, the! development of a 38 methodology to determine. the. pro..rata allocation of the anticipated capital 39 . .improvement costs resulting,from capital improvement impacts of new development 40 (residential, commercial,.industrial). He noted the fee must be evaluated by°the City 41 Councifon pan annual basis which will allow the fee structure to reflect the current 42 capital improvement needs as they relate (in. this case) to traffic impacts of new .43 developments: January 16, 1990 Vol. 25, Page 243 1 Traffic IMDact Fee Ordinance cont'd. 2 The current traffic ' impact fee for residential units is $1,500 per unit. The 3 recommended., fees; after considering the anticipated needs for ; capital 4 improvements related, to traffic as a result of new development up to the year 2005' 5 are,,$2,500 for residential, $5. per square foot for commercial, buildings, and $2. per 6 square foot for light manufacturing. The estimated traffic capital improvement 7 expenditure to the: year 2005 is $43 Million. Included in that figure are projects 8 ' =which will. be , funded through assessment districts and possibly through a voter 9 approved sales tax increase. It was suggested that there needs to be a mechanism to 10 credit developers for their. participation in the cost.of assessment districts created to 11 construct capital ;improvements and a payback .provision should be developed 12 should the voters approve the proposed County -wide sales tax increase measure for 13 transportation improvements. 14 It was also suggested the City specify what it wants to achieve and to develop a 15 method to encourage development to furnish that goal. A mechanism could be 16 similar to the sales tax exchange the redevelopment agency worked out with the 17 automobile row developers by returning a portion of the City's additional sales tax 18 revenue to them for a short period of time. 19 The plan needs flexibility, to reflect what the development is bringing to the City 20 and what the City, in turn, should be willing to give up or go into partnership with to 21 provide that service. Bill Hendrickson suggested the criteria and policy details be 22 established by a document other than this ordinance. The Council expressed 23 concern about the fees being so high, they will drive people away; the potential of an 24 estimated impact which proves to be overstated by the City; and other potential 25 differences from the ordinance's formula. Mr. Hendrickson advised that the appeals 26 process built into the ordinance should help address those types of situations. 27 It was suggested the. City might consider allowing developers to defer fees; or to 28 utilize the benefits of a Mello -Roos Community Facilities Financing District for 29 financing certain types of public facilities pursuant to Government Code 53311 et 30 seq. 31 The Council agreed to continue the item to the Tuesday, .February 20, City Council 32 meeting. In the meantime, the Chamber of Commerce and the Building Industry 33 Association should receive copies of the proposed ordinance and resolution in 34 sufficient time for them to develop suggestions and comments on the proposal in 35 writing to the City Manager prior to February 20. 36 Vice Mayor Sobel advised that he heard from a couple of people on this matter, "it 37 struck him not. enough word was out and I would like to have staff in conjunction 38 with us and the people who are here to night look at ways to get the word out on 39 that and I know we have had, hearings that have been reported in the news paper 40 one thin* that occurs to me is the Chamber newsletter which gets to our business 41 community having a regular legislative update every month." Would like staff to 42 cooperate on that point and whatever assistance we can give so everybody is up to 43 speed on these things and we can get the input we desire that we require to make 44 some of these decisions. 45 RECESS 8:50 to 9:00 p.m. 1 2 3, 4 5 '6 7 10 11 12 13 V�1 14 Page 244, Vol. 25 P, _ 1`4..

Lee & Associates on 27 behalf of the gas station .owner and Exxon. from the Planning; Commission denial of 28 a variance to allow retention of a non -conforming free standing sign at the Exxon 29 Gas Station located at 5153 Old Redwood Highway. 30 Planning Director Warren Salmons reviewed the situation. There has been a 46 31 foot pylon type freestanding- "TEXACO" sign at this location for .many years (prior 32 to adoption of the 1972 sign regulations). Thee gas station was part of a swap 33 between Texaco and Exxon whereby .certain Northern California Texaco gas 34 stations became Exxon. gas stations. When the .transition occurred, an application 35 for. sign permit was submitted and approved by the City. The permit .for a new 36 illuminated monument sign as well. as 3 non --illuminated ,signs were approved with 37 the condition that "all other signs will be removed With, the exception of attached 38 signs. The Exxon sign contractor proceeded to install the new signs,. but did not 39 remove the 46 foot pylon sign. Rather, they replaced the Tetters with "EXXON ". A 40 stop'work order was issued "and the City requested Exxon tot remove the 46 foot sign. 41 Exxon applied for a variance which was denied bythe Planning Commission. January 16, 1990 Vol. 25, Page 245 1 Exxon Anneal continued 2 The. Zoning Ordinance Sign Regulations state that a combination of signs in this 3 zoning district shall not exceed 200 square, feet, while the current signage exceeds 4 500 square feet (200 square feet represent the 46 foot sign). In addition, only one 5 free standing sign that is no higher than the building (16 feet) is permitted. The 6 permitted total signage for this site (excluding the State Mandated gasoline pricing 7 signs) is 42.5 square feet. 8 Exxon and the operator of the gas station state the removal of the 46 foot sign would 9 severely deprive freeway travellers and customers of Exxon the information of the 10 existence of the gas station. They request that until.state highway signage is erected 11 with all companies and. services available or all business/property owners are 12 required to remove existing highway signage, the variance be granted; otherwise, 13 removal create an unjust hardship for Exxon. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 The hearing was opened.
