A CEDS is a regional strategy that reflects local economic development needs andpriorities and recommends a regional approach to achieving sustainable economicdevelopment. A CEDS is required to qualify for Economic Development Administration(EDA) assistance. EDA funds can be used for planning, technical planning, and bricksand mortar construction. They help fund infrastructure needed to create business parksor move a business within the community. The goal of EDA funds is to assist with localeconomic development. A CEDS is used as a regional strategy to coordinate economicdevelopment efforts.
The intent of the MOU is to formalize a Merced County Marketing Team consisting ofeconomic development leaders from each City and the County for the purposes ofimplementing key pieces of the Economic Development Roadmap and more specificallythe marketing initiatives to attract traded sector businesses including marketing, publicrelations, business recruitment, business retention, and lead generation. The MOUdoes not commit the County or Cities to any financial commitment for the collaboration;however, the Marketing Team may at some point in time agree to collaboratively fundand leverage resources for marketing purposes to implement business attractionmarketing, at which time Los Banos City staff would bring a proposal back to theCouncil for approval.

TO: Mayor & City Council Members
FROM: Mark Fachin, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer tYJevv(~DATE: July 16, 2014
SUBJECT: Council Direction to Staff in regards to the City of Los Banos TemporarilySuspending the Collection of All Regional Transportation Impact Fees(RTIF) established by Ordinance No. 1031 as Amended and Codified inTitle 3, Chapter 18 of the Los Banos Municipal Code
TYPE OF REPORT: Non Consent
Recommendation:That the City Council receives the staff report and provides staff with direction. Thatdirection could be one of the following:
1. Take no action, which will result in the RTIF fee program continuing to beadministered per Ordinance No. 1115, which expires on March 21, 2015.
2. Request that staff present to Council an Ordinance that would temporarilysuspend the collection of All Regional Transportation Impact Fees (RTIF) fora time period as outlined in the Ordinance and for all designated land usecategories. This Ordinance, if adopted, would go into effect 30 days after itsfinal passage and adoption.
Background:The main purpose of a regional transportation impact fee is to help plan for and mitigatetransportation impacts of future growth on the regional transportation system. Localtraffic impact fees are used to fund local improvements to mitigate cumulative impactsto local roadways caused by development. In theory, regional transportation impactfees build multi-jurisdictional transportation projects that benefit two or morecommunities.
Before a new transportation impact fee can be established, the California Mitigation FeeAct (AB 1600) requires cities or counties prepare "nexus" calculations, based on projectcost estimates, land use projections, traffic modeling, and appropriate trip generationrates to make sure that the impact fee will primarily benefit new development. Based onthe project and program nexus, such fees can either fund all, but sometimes only aproportionate share of the project needed to accommodate the new development. Feescannot pay for more than the project costs, should not overlap (but can complement)existing impact fees and must provide credit for developers who actually construct all ora portion of the project for which that the fee is paid. Such fees can only be used forcapital projects and not be used for operations and maintenance. Impact fees arerequired to have a 5-year capital improvement plan indicating the purpose and use ofthe fee. Therefore, impact fee programs can be used very effectively on projectdevelopment activities (i.e. preliminary engineering, environmental studies or other earlyproject phases such as acquisition of right-of-way and/or commitment as a local matchfor other funding to fund construction activities). Although some of the smaller projectscan be entirely funded with traffic impact fees (if the project is entirely needed becauseof a new development area), regional transportation impact fees are best coordinated ina funding package with a variety of other local, regional, state and/or federal funds.
One of the main advantages of establishing the program is that most state and federaltransportation programs are very competitive, and require at least 20% of the fundingmix to come from local funding sources. Therefore, the RTIF would help make MercedCounty agencies' applications more successful, particularly for securing our share oflarger statewide interregional transportation funds and federal funds.
Background of Merced County RTIF:On July 19, 2001, the MCAG Governing Board unanimously adopted the 2001 RegionalTransportation Plan (RTP). The RTP documented the region's population, housing, andeconomic growth and the need for transportation projects to ensure safety, relievecongestion, and maintenance for Merced County's regional transportation system. Inaddition to listing and prioritizing the region's transportation projects and programs, theplan's Financial Element documented that the existing financial resources to fund theseprojects were inadequate. The RTP called for pursuing two new sources of funding, alocal % cent sales tax dedicated solely to transportation projects and a regionaltransportation impact fee to mitigate future development impacts on the regional roadsystem.
During the fall/winter of 2001-02, an amendment to the MCAG Joint Powers Agreementwas submitted and approved by each city council and board of supervisors authorizingMCAG to administer a regional transportation impact fee program adopted byordinance, resolution, or other appropriate action by each member agency.This unanimous action by each member amended the MCAG JPA to allow MCAG toreceive the fees from a locally adopted transportation fee program and implementtransportation projects. Further, as a local program, it meant that a jurisdiction retainsthe individual authority to implement, change, and/or terminate the program.
Thereafter, a regional road network was defined, growth impacts modeled, and projectswere identified that would mitigate resultant traffic congestion.
In July 2004, the MCAG Governing Board adopted the 2004 Regional TransportationPlan with a Financial Element that assumed funding resources would be available fromRegional Transportation Impact Fee program. The 2004 Regional TransportationImpact Fee Study includes a project financial plan listing the multiple sources of fundsthat will be used to pay for the identified projects, a uniform mitigation fee, and the "fairshare" fee contributions from vehicle trips beginning or ending in each respectivejurisdiction. At the January 20, 2005 MCAG Governing Board meeting, the RTIF Studywas accepted and the RTIF Model Ordinance and RTIF Implementation Agreementwere transmitted to the City of Los Banos for consideration and action.
On April 29, 2005 the Los Banos City Council considered the RTIF ImplementationAgreement and the Model RTIF Ordinance and unanimously approved both.
Approval of the RTIF Implementation Agreement. The RTIF Implementation Agreementamended the MCAG Joint Powers Agreement to permit MCAG to deliver thetransportation projects identified in the program. Approval of the RTIF ImplementationAgreement does not commit the City to adopt the fee program.
Adoption of the RTIF Ordinance. This action enacted the regional transportation impactfee. To implement the regional transportation impact fee and start to collect the fee, fivemember jurisdictions needed to adopt the program by ordinance or resolution includingthe Merced County Board of Supervisors and a majority of the cities with a majority ofthe population.
Effective August 1,2005, the cities of Atwater, Dos Palos, Los Banos, Merced, and theCounty of Merced began collecting RTIF fees through their local permitting process.The City of Gustine began collecting the fee effective August 22, 2005. The City ofLivingston has not adopted an ordinance or resolution to implement the RTIF programfee collection.
In August of 2008, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving the implementationof the updated RTIF study. On April 15, 2009, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.1086 that established new non-residential RTIF fees, per the approved updated RTIFstudy.
The Fee ProgramThe current RTIF fees that were adopted per Ordinance No. 1086 are:
• Residential, single-family
• Residential, multi-family
$3,115 per dwelling unit
$1,892 per dwelling unit
• Retail commercial, general $4,146 per 1,000 sq. ft.floor area

(Suspended until 3/21/15Ordinance No. 1115)
Per the Ordinance all commercial and industrial projects pay the impact fees at the timeof building permit issuance and all residential projects pay the impact fees at the time ofissuance of the certificate of occupancy. Since 2005 of the $10,425,316.99 collected byall the member cities, the City of Los Banos has collected $1,773,116.89 as follows:
• FY 2005-06 $ 69,534.00;
• FY 2006-07 $601,678.57;
• FY 2007-08 $433,153.29;
• FY 2008-09 $355,488.97;
• FY 2009-10 $182,434.83;
• FY 2010-11 $ 58,308.90;
• FY2011-12 $ 41,203.34;
• FY 2012-13 $ 3,115.00;
• FY 2013-14 $ 28,199.99.(3" Quarter)
The amount of the fee assessed to a particular project is dependent upon the land usecategory of the specific project based upon the Trip Generation Rate published by theInstitute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) as follows:
• "Residential/Single Family" =Single-family detached homes on individual lots.
• "Residential/Multiple Family" = Two- and mUltiple-family dwelling units, includingapartments, condominiums, and mobile homes in mobile home parks.
• "Retail Commercial, General" = Retail uses, including but not limited to, discountstores, nurseries, automobile sales and service, supermarkets, drugstores, storesselling electronics, toys, apparel, etc., video rentals, and other similar uses.
• "Commercial/High Turnover" = Sit-down and fast food restaurants with or withoutdrive-up windows, drinking establishments, convenience markets, gas stations,quick lubes, and banks (walk-in and drive-through).
• "Commercial/Low Turnover" = Specialty retail or strip centers, factory outlets, tirestores, home improvement stores, furniture stores, and other similar uses.
• "Commercial/Greater Than 50,000 Square Feet" = Shopping centers andcommercial uses defined above with more than 50,000 square feet of floor area.
• "Office/Commercial" = Professional offices, business parks, business oradministrative offices, insurancelfinancial/real estate services, research &development, medical or dental services, government offices, and similar uses.
• "Industrial/Agricultural Processing" = Light and heavy industrial uses, inclUdingbut not limited to: manufacturing, assembly, bottling, printing, cabinet/machine shop,wholesale business, warehouses, corporation yards, movinglstorage services,utilities, lumberyards, canneries, and agricultural food processing.
Adoption of Ordinance No. 1115The Los Banos City Council, on February 19, 2014, adopted Ordinance No. 1115 whichtemporarily suspended the collection of Regional Transportation Impact Fees (RTIF) fora period of twelve months from the effective date of the Ordinance for the following landuse categories:
Retail commercial, generalRetail commercial, high turnoverRetail commercial, low turnoverRetail commercial, over 50,000 sq. ft.Office commercialIndustrial/Ag processing
Ordinance No. 1115 will expire on March 21, 2015.
Discussion:At this time staff is looking to the Council for direction on the RTIF program. Twodirections that could be followed are:
1. Take no further action, which will result in the RTIF fee program continuing tobe administered per Ordinance No. 1115 which has temporarily suspendedthe collection of the RTIF fees in six categories until March 21, 2015.
2. Request that staff present to Council an Ordinance that would temporarilysuspend the collection of All Regional Transportation Impact Fees (RTIF) fora time period as outlined in the Ordinance and for all designated land usecategories. This Ordinance, if adopted, would go into effect 30 days after itsfinal passage and adoption.
Fiscal Impact:Between 2009 and 2012, the City of Los Banos has issued no single family residentialpermits. In 2013-2014, the City has issued 20 single residential permits of which twohave been finaled and have paid the RTIF. The City has collected a total of $6,230during FY 2013-14 in the RTIF residential program.
Since the development impact fees pay for planned infrastructure, the result of this feesuspension would be a decrease in the amount of planned regional transportationinfrastructure that can be funded by the Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF)program. The magnitude of the impact to the RTIF would largely be dependent on thepace of development during the fee suspension period.
