PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTING A RESOLUTION REVISING TOWN -
WIDE TRAFFIC IMPACT MITIGATION FEES (CONTINUED FROM 11/18/91, 7/20, 9/8,
11/2/92, 2/1, 3/1, AND 4/5/93).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open the public hearing;
2. Close the public hearing;
3. Adopt Resolution amending traffic impact mitigation fees and rescinding Resolutions 1990-144 and
1993-134.
PURPOSE OF FEE:
Section 15.70.015(b) of the Town Code states the purpose of traffic impact mitigation fees is:
"The Town Council finds that the purpose of the traffic impact mitigation fee is to assure
that each new development or expansion of use pays its fair share of the transportation
improvements needed to accommodate the cumulative traffic impacts. Existing and known
future sources of revenue are inadequate to fund a substantial portion of the transportation
improvements necessary to avoid unacceptable levels of service, congestion, and related
adverse impacts."
BACKGROUND:
At its September 11, 1991 meeting, the General Plan Committee recommended that the Planning
Commission forward a new formula for calculating traffic impact mitigation fees to the Council. The Planning
Commission endorsed this formula at its October 9, 1991 meeting, referring the matter to Council for
adoption on November 18, 1991. At the April 5, 1993, Council requested that the matter of amending traffic
impact mitigation fees be reconsidered prior to the budget hearings for FY 1994-1995.

March 31, 1994
The existing formula uses a table of fees assessed by floor area for classes of land use. The fee for new
uses is reduced by a credit based on the fee that would have been charged for the existing or former use
on the property. While residential fees are calculated on a linear basis (e.g. $600 per average daily trip),
commercial fees are not. Commercial uses that are high traffic generators pay Tess per trip than some low
traffic generators. This occasionally resulted in a situation where the credit for new developments actually
exceeded the fee even though the increase in traffic was fairly substantial. The General Plan Committee felt
that this situation was unfair. Since that time staff has encountered situations where the reverse was also
true.
The new formula is based on tables which assign trips to both the new and former use with the credit
established by subtracting the old trips from the new trips and then assessing a fee of $600/trip for the first
10 new trips and $60/trip for the remainder. Since that time, Town staff met with the legislative committee
of the Chamber of Commerce for several months regarding this and other issues, culminating in the
committee endorsement of the proposed Traffic Impact Fee Resolution. However, the committee did not
want the fee for medical office use to be reduced. The proposed resolution (Attachment 1) provides that
the fee for medical office use be calculated at $600 per Average Daily Trip (ADT) for the first (10) trips and
$120 per ADT thereafter. By calculating the fee for medical office use in this manner, the fee will remain
about the same as under the current fee schedule.
The proposed fees will not change the current Traffic Policy or Traffic Impact Fee Ordinance. Projects that
generate over 20 A.M. or P.M. Peak Hour trips will still be required have a traffic report, and to mitigate
specific traffic impacts in addition to paying a Traffic Impact Mitigation fee. The draft resolution (Attachment
1) only affects the cost of the traffic fee. Attachment 2 established the existing fee schedule and upon
adoption of the draft resolution, will be rescinded.
The resolution included as Attachment 3 adopted the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation
as the new rates, and the provisions of Resolution 1993-134 have been incorporated into the draft resolution.
DISCUSSION:
Section 15.70.035 of the Town Code requires that the amount of the Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees be
established by resolution, and shall be subject to periodic review by the Town Council. Council included
this provision because it recognized that adjustments in the fee would be necessary from time to time as
staff gained experience implementing the fee schedule.
The main area of concern to staff has been the method currently used to assign credit for previous uses.
In most instances, when commercial property is redeveloped, the new use is different than the former use.
In some instances, the new project will generate more traffic but that is not reflected in the fee. This very
problem is what originally prompted Council to ask staff to revise the traffic impact fees.
On the other hand, in reviewing proposed projects at the counter or at the Development Review Committee,
there have been cases where the traffic has not increased, but a significant fee is required by the current
fee schedule. Many of these projects have been dropped or have failed to proceed because of the cost of
the fee.
Attachment 4 shows the changes in the existing and proposed fee on various uses. The first half of the table
shows the difference in fees for development of vacant property. The second half of the table, which is a
summary of Attachments 5 - 9 and the discussion below, shows that the fee and the increase in ADT's are
linked.
Since this matter was last heard by Council, staff has identified several examples that illustrate why the
method of calculating traffic fees should be revised. Attachment 5 shows the fee calculation for a project
at 15166 Los Gatos Boulevard (Nissan -Volvo site). The proposed project will significantly decrease the
ADT and add only four additional P.M. Peak Hour trips. Based on the way the credit for a previous use is
calculated, this project would be required to pay in excess of $100,000 in Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees.

This is because fees for housing are based on the maximum fee allowed based on a nexus evaluation ($600
X 9.87 ADT), and all other uses are based on a chart that places each use into a general category. Under
the current fee schedule there is no correlation between the increase in the number of trips generated by
a use and the fee.
On the other hand, Attachment 6 shows the fee calculation for demolition of a convalescent hospital and
building a new medical office building located at 15400 National Avenue. The project would significantly
increase traffic but under the current fee schedule the fee was only $12,033. Under the proposed fee
schedule the fee would be over $70,000.
Attachment 7 shows the fee calculations for a medical office building on a vacant lot at 555 Knowles Drive.
The traffic fee under the current fee schedule and the proposed fee schedule are comparable, which was
a goal of the Chamber of Commerce legislative committee. To Accomplish this goal, the fee for medical
offices is higher than other uses such as retail and restaurants. This is justified by the fact that medical
office uses only generate property tax revenue, whereas retail uses generate sales tax and property tax
revenue. The attachment also shows medical office fees calculated at the same rate as other uses.
The proposed fee schedule will increase the traffic fee for restaurants. Attachment 8 shows that the fee
under the proposed fee schedule correlates directly with the increase in traffic. This example is for a
McDonald's restaurant that was proposed in a building previously occupied by a bank at 497 N. Santa Cruz
Avenue. McDonald's withdrew this application on March 23, 1994.
The last example, Attachment 9, shows the fee calculation for another restaurant that was proposed in a
building previously occupied by retail uses. When this application originally went to the Planning
Commission, a Spanish restaurant was proposed (it is now proposed to be a yogurt shop). The restaurant
category from ITE, is not reflected in the existing fee schedule since all restaurants are grouped into one
category, it is the same for all restaurants. Under the proposed fee schedule, the type of restaurant will
dramatically affect the fee. I.T.E. has three restaurant categories; quality, high -turnover sit down and fast
food and each category has significantly different ADT's. Restaurants will be required to pay a fee based
on the type of restaurant and the ADT generated by that type of restaurant.
The final issue that will be resolved by the proposed fee schedule has to do with businesses that are defined
as a restaurant by the Zoning Ordinance but are not considered restaurants by ITE. Walk-in, impulse shops,
such as yogurt shops, juice bars and donut shops are considered restaurants by the Zoning Ordinance but
are considered Specialty Retail by ITE. These uses simply do not generate the amount of additional traffic
as shown by ITE for restaurants. To resolve this issue, staff will use the traffic generation rate for Specialty
Retail uses to calculate the traffic fee. As a result, these businesses would not be charged a fee unless they
increased the size of the building.
CONCLUSION:
Adoption of the proposed fee resolution (Attachment 1) will resolve numerous issues that have come to
light since the current fee schedule was originally adopted in July, 1990. The proposed fee schedule is
consistent with the objectives of the Town's Traffic Policy and Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee Ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The new fee schedule will directly tie the fee to the increase in traffic. The revenue generated will depend
on the number and type of projects ultimately approved. Further, projects which would be assessed these
fees might also be conditioned to construct public improvements, reducing the need for future capital
expenditures.

RESOLUTION
RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS
AMENDING TRAFFIC IMPACT MITIGATION FEES AND
RESCINDING RESOLUTIONS 1990-144 AND 1993-134
RESOLVED, the Town Council hereby establishes a traffic impact fee payable
pursuant to Chapter 37 of the Town Code as follows:
A. The fee for residential uses shall be calculated at $600 per Average Daily Trip
(ADT).
B. The fee for medical office use shall be calculated at $600 per ADT for the
first ten (10) trips and $120 per ADT thereafter.
C. The fee for all other uses shall be calculated at $600 per ADT for the first
ten (10) trips and $60 per ADT thereafter.
D. The Town Council may exempt housing developments for very low, low and
moderate income residents (as defined by Town Ordinance, General Plan, or
statute) from all or a portion of the traffic impact mitigation fee upon making
a finding that the development provides a significant community benefit by
meeting current needs for affordable housing. The exempted fees will be
made up from other sources of revenue. Traffic mitigation fees paid by other
developers will not be used to subsidize the exempted projects. Each year the
Town will identify how much money is to be allocated in the Capital
Improvement Program for traffic improvement projects. Additional revenue
sources will be identified to cover exempted fees.

n
E. Traffic credit may be granted for an existing or former use. When applicable,
existing or former use traffic (ADT) shall be subtracted from the project
traffic prior to calculating the fee. The first ten trips of the difference will
be charged at the higher $600 per trip rate.
F. ADT is defined as the number of average daily trips associated with an
identified land use as determined or derived from the most recent edition of
Trip Generation by the Institute of Transportation Engineers or a Town
sponsored traffic study - whichever is less. The Town approved traffic study
will be paid for by the applicant.
FURTHER RESOLVED, this Resolution rescinds Resolution No. 1990-144 and
Resolution No. 1993-134.

RESOLUTION 1994-55
RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS
AMENDING TRAFFIC IMPACT MITIGATION FEES AND
RESCINDING RESOLUTIONS 1990-144 AND 1993-134
RESOLVED, the Town Council hereby establishes a traffic impact fee payable
pursuant to Chapter 37 of the Town Code as follows:
A. The fee for residential uses shall be calculated at $600 per Average Daily Trip
(ADT).
B. The fee for medical office use shall be calculated at $600 per ADT for the
first ten (10) trips and $120 per ADT thereafter.
C. The fee for all other uses shall be calculated at $600 per ADT for the first
ten (10) trips and $60 per ADT thereafter.
D. The Town Council may exempt housing developments for very low, low and
moderate income residents (as defined by Town Ordinance, General Plan, or
statute) from all or a portion of the traffic impact mitigation fee upon making
a finding that the development provides a significant community benefit by
meeting current needs for affordable housing. The exempted fees will be
made up from other sources of revenue. Traffic mitigation fees paid by other
developers will not be used to subsidize the exempted projects. Each year the
Town will identify how much money is to be allocated in the Capital
Improvement Program for traffic improvement projects. Additional revenue
sources will be identified to cover exempted fees.
SM06\RESOS\TRAFFIC. RES
E. Traffic credit may be granted for an existing or former use. When applicable,
existing or former use traffic (ADT) shall be subtracted from the project
traffic prior to calculating the fee. The first ten trips of the difference will
be charged at the higher $600 per trip rate.
F. ADT is defined as the number of average daily trips associated with an
identified land use as determined or derived from the most recent edition of
Trip Generation by the Institute of Transportation Engineers or a Town
sponsored traffic study - whichever is less. The Town approved traffic study
will be paid for by the applicant.
FURTHER RESOLVED, this Resolution rescinds Resolution No. 1990-144 and
Resolution No. 1993-134.
