A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA AMENDING THE APPLICABLE
TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE(TUMF)
APPLICABLE TO ALL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY OF
TEMECULA
WHEREAS, the City of Temecula ("City") is a member agency of the Western Riverside
Council of Governments ("WRCOG"), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of
Riverside and eighteen cities located in Western Riverside County; and
WHEREAS, the member agencies of WRCOG recognized that there was insufficient
funding to address the impacts of new development on the regional system of highways and
arterials in Western Riverside County(the"Regional System"); and
WHEREAS, in order to address this shortfall, the member agencies formulated a plan
whereby a transportation mitigation fee would be assessed on new development and would be used
to fund the necessary improvements for the Regional System; and
WHEREAS, WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Program participating jurisdictions,
has prepared an updated Nexus Study entitled "Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus
Study: 2016 Update" ("2016 Nexus Study") pursuant to California Government Code sections
66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees. On July 10, 2017,the
WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2016 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and
recommended TUMF participating jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to
reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF
Program; and
WHEREAS, consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Resolution No.
17-47 the City Council has been informed and advised,and hereby finds,that if the capacity of the
Regional System is not enlarged and unless development contributes to the cost of improving the
Regional System, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside
County, with unacceptable Levels of Service. Furthermore,the failure to mitigate growing traffic
impacts on the Regional System will substantially impair the ability of public safety services
(police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare.
Therefore, continuation of a TUMF Program is essential; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational
relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees
are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are
necessary for the safety, health, and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the
development in which the TUMF will be levied;and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational
relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional System and the type of
development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the
residential and non-residential users of such projects to have access to the Regional system. Such
development will benefit from the Regional System improvements and the burden of such
developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the
new 2016 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Regional System
improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional System,and that the amount of the
TUMF expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to
such development; and
WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to the TUMF Ordinance shall be used to help pay
for the design, planning, construction of and real property acquisition for the Regional System
improvements and its facilities as identified in the 2016 Nexus Study. The need for the
improvements and facilities is related to new development because such development results in
additional traffic and creates the demand for the improvements;
WHEREAS,section 15.08.040(A)of the TUMF Ordinance authorizes periodic review and
adjustment to the applicable TUMF in accordance with any adjustments made by the WRCOG
Executive Committee; and
WHEREAS, on November 4, 2019, the WRCOG Executive Committee approved the CCI
adjustment based upon the annual change in Construction Cost Index (CCI) as described in the
TUMF Administrative Plan.
WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to this Resolution shall be used to finance the
public facilities described or identified in the Nexus Study; and
WHEREAS, the levying of TUMF has been reviewed by the City Council and staff in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the CEQA Guidelines
and it has been determined that the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to
Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
