adjustments in the amounts of the Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Fee for
pre-existing development, as such adjustments are provided for in Chapter 22B of the Code of
the City of Seal RP""h, and City Council Resolution 4234, as amended.
Section 2. Public Hearing. The Planning Commission conducted a public
hearing on April 3, 1996 and received public comments, both written and oral, regarding the
proposed amendments. After deliberation, the Planning Commission requested staff to develop
an alternate fee schedule, which was considered and recommended to the City Council through
the adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 96-9, adopted by the Commission on April I
17, 1996
Section 3. Findinl!:s. PurSuant to Resolution 4234, as amended, the City
Council may determine the appropriate amounts for the Transportation Faci1ities and Programs
Development Fee.
A. Section 3.E. of Resolution No. 4234 indicates "The only fair and equitable
way of securing adequate revenues necessary to fund such improvements is through a fee based
on the extent to which new development generates additional traffic volumes that impact the
arterial street system. "
B. Resolution No. 4234 or Chapter 22B of the Code of the City of Seal RP""h
does not address how to calculate "additional traffic volumes that impact the arterial street
system. "
C. The City Council wishes to provide direction to city staff and developers
of privately-owned property as to how the calculation of the Transportation Facilities and
Programs Development Fee will be calculated in a fair and equitable way so as to secure
adequate revenues necessary to fund such improvements through a fee based on the extent to
which new development generates additional traffic volumes that impact the arterial street I
system. The City Council has referred this matter to the Planning Commission for review and
recommendations, and has considered those recommendations.
D. The length of time between a vacancy and the subsequent development or
use of either a parcel of land or a structure can result in significantly different traffic patterns
than existing patterns, which could adversely impact the existing roadway system improvements
contemplated within the "Final Report - City of Seal Beach Traffic Impact Fee Study". Those

adverse impacts have been shown to increase significantly over time. Therefore, the City hereby
establishes a methodology to reflect this adverse traffic impact by requiring a greater fee
payment to be imposed based on the increasing length of a vacancy of a parcel of land or a
structure.
E. The Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that an
amendment to City Council Resolution 4234 is necessary, which will specify the procedure for
city staff to follow in calculating the appropriate Transportation Facilities and Programs
Development Fee adjustment when an application for a building permit is received on a property
proposed for expansion or new development which had a pre-existing traffic-generating land use
existing.
