The Fees shall be determined based on the average daily traffic generation of the Development Project. The City Manager or designee shall calculate the traffic generation of the Development Project using published traffic generation rates, traffic generation studies, traffic count data, traffic impact studies, other relevant data and analysis, and/or engineering judgment.

For purposes of the Fees, single-family dwelling units shall include single-family detached homes and detached condominiums; multifamily dwelling units shall include attached condominiums, townhouses, duplexes, triplexes and apartments. Accessory Dwelling Units 750 square feet or larger shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit on the lot. The traffic generation for all other residential land uses shall be calculated based on the number of dwelling units proposed in the Development Project.

The traffic generation for nonresidential land uses shall be calculated using various measures of Development intensity as described in published traffic generation rates. For these uses, rates based on the square footage of the Development Project will in most cases be selected over rates based on gross acreage, as determined by the City Manager or designee. As it applies to nonresidential land uses, gross acreage means all land area that the City Manager’s designee deems necessary within the boundary of the parcel or parcels of the Development Project for which Building Permits are being requested.

In the ETDIF, the traffic generation rates for commercial retail land uses shall be reduced by 72 percent to recognize the capture of locally generated residential traffic as documented in “Eastern Area Transportation Development Impact Fees” Engineer’s Report, dated March 2005. (Ord. 3466 § 1, 2019; Ord. 3440 § 1, 2018).
