A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH ESTABUSHING THE
AMOUNT OF THE TRANSPORTATION
FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS DEVELOPMENT
FEE AND ESTABUSHING THE AMOUNT OF THE
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS
DEVELOPMENT APPUCATION FEE PURSUANT
TO CHAPTER 22B OF THE CODE OF THE CITY
OF SEAL BEACH
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Short Title. This resolution may be referred to as the "Transportation
Facilities and Programs Development Fee Resolution" of the City of Seal Beach.
Section 2. PUJl)Ose. The purpose of this resolution is to establish the amount of
the Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Fee and to establish the amount of the
Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Application Fee pursuant to Chapter 22B
of the Code of the City of Seal Beach.
Section 3. Findines. The City Council, after review of the report prepared by
DKS Associates entitled "Final Report, City of Seal Beach Traffic Impact Fee Study" ("Final
Report"), other staff reports, and testimony and infonnation received at a public hearing on this
matter, hereby approves the Final Report and makes the following specific findings:
A. Based upon a study of the known major development projects
proposed within the City, future development within the City will significantly impact several
intersections in the City during both the AM and PM peak hours. In addition, daily traffic
volumes on Pacific Coast Highway and Seal Beach Boulevard are projected to increase as a
result of development within the City, exacerbating projected deficiencies without such
development.
B. According to generally accepted reports prepared by the Institute
of Transportation Engineers, different land uses generate different volumes of automobile trips
(trip generation rates). Standard trip generation equations from the Institute of Transportation
Engineers are referenced in this Resolution and reflect the most accurate characterization of
actual traffic generated by specific land uses and thus the impact of that traffic on the City's
arterial street system.
C. All but two of the intersections listed in the Final Report are
currently operating at a "D" or better level of service during both the AM and PM peak hours,
and are adequate to accommodate present levels of traffic volumes. According to the Final
Report, the existing roadway capacities of several intersections in the City will be inadequate
to accommodate additional traffic volumes generated by future development. Also, certain
portions of Pacific Coast Highway and Seal Beach Boulevard which are already inadequate to
accommodate present levels of traffic volumes are projected to be even further overburdened by
additional traffic volumes generated by future development.
Resolution Number ~~~~
,
D. In order to mitigate the impact of new development, construction
of major improvements to the existing City-wide arterial street system is required. Such
improvements will result in an arterial street system with more capacity to accommodate the
additional traffic volume that will be generated by anticipated future development.
E. The only fair and equitable method 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. The
fonnula to calculate the amount of traffic volume generated by each type of land use is based I
upon a report prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers which the City finds relevant
to the land-use conditions in the City of Seal Beach.
F. The roadway and intersection improvements constructed with funds
generated by the Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Fee will specifically
benefit the fee contributor by mitigating the adverse impacts of arterial street system congestion
such as noise, air pollution, traffic, delay, accidents and inconveniences that will be created due
to future development. Further, the specific benefit a property receives from roadway
improvements is reasonably proportional to its fee contributions.
G. The purpose of the fee established by this resolution is to mitigate
the impact of traffic generated by future development.
H. The fee established by this resolution will be used solely to fund
roadway and intersection improvements that will increase the capacity of the arterial street
system within the City of Seal Beach.
I. In accordance with California Government Code Section 6600 I, the
facts and evidence presented establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the
Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Fee's use and the type of development
project on which the fee is imposed. Each development project on which the fee is imposed will I
generate additional traffic that will utilize the arterial street system. The fee will be used to
improve the arterial street system and therefore improve access to each development and the
value of each development. This relationship is further detailed in the Final Report.
J. In accordance with California Government Code Section 66001, the
facts and evidence presented establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the need
for arterial street system improvements and the type of development projects on which the
Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Fee will be imposed. Each development
project upon which the fee will be imposed will generate traffic which must be accommodated
by the arterial street system. Such traffic cannot be accommodated at current levels of service
without the improvements that will be funded by the fee. This relationship is further detailed
in the Final Report.
K. In accordance with California Government Code Section 66001, the
facts and evidence presented establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the amount
of the Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Fee and the cost of the arterial street
system improvements necessary to mitigate the impact of each development project upon which
the fee will be imposed. The reasonableness of the fee is evidenced by the method through
which the fee was calculated. This method may be summarized as follows:
(1) The total number of PM peak hour trips that will be
generated by proposed development was estimated by DKS Associates, using standard trip I
generation equations from the Institute of Traffic Engineers, to be 2,046.
(2) Based upon the total number of PM peak hour trips
identified in Step (I), DKS Associates determined those arterial street system improvements
necessary to mitigate the additional PM peak hour trips. The cost of these improvements
allocable to new development within the City was estimated to be $1,900,665. .
Resolution Number q2~
(3) The allocable cost of the improvements described in Step
(2) was divided by the number of additional PM peak hour trips identified in Step (1) to establish
a trip cost factor of $929.
I
(4) The trip cost factor specified in Step (3) was then multiplied
by either the PM peak hour trip generation rates per square foot for office, retail and restaurant
development, the PM peak hour trip generation rate per room or suite for hotel development,
the PM peak hour trip generation rates per dwelling unit for residential development, or the PM
peak hour trip generation rate per acre for city park development to establish the development
fee for the development project, set forth in Section 4 below.
The above described methodology is more fully described in the
Final Report which is incorporated herein in its entirety.
Section 4. Establishment of the Amount of the Tran~rtation Facilities and
Prol!rams Develooment Fee. The amount of the Transportation Facilities and Programs
Development Fee as provided for by the Transportation Facilities and Program's Development

Section 5. Establishment of the Amount of the Transoortation Facilities and
Pro~rams DevelQpment Application Fee. The amount of the Transportation Facilities and
Programs Development Application Fee as provided for by the Transportation Facilities and
Programs Development Fee Ordinance is hereby established as follows:
(1) The total number of PM peak hour trips that will be generated by proposed
development was estimated by DKS Associates, using standard trip generation equations from
the Instit"te of Traffic Engineers, to be 2,046.
Resolution Number 10231
(2) The direct City costs of completing the Final Report was estimated to be
$28,150.
(3) The costs described in Step (2) were divided by the number of additional
PM peak hour trips identified in Step (1) to establish a trip cost factor of $14.
(4) The trip cost factor specified in Step (3) was then multiplied by either the
PM peak hour trip generation rates per square foot for office, retail and restaurant development,
the PM peak hour trip generation rate per room or suite for hotel development, the PM peak I
hour trip generation rates per dwelling unit for residential development, or the PM peak hour
trip generation rate per acre for park development to establish the development project's pro-rata
share of the direct City costs of completing the Final Report. An additional amount of 13.4
percent of the Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Fee was added to ~is
amount in order to recover general city administrative overhead costs for administering the
program, resulting in the following development application fees:
Land Use Type Fee/Unit
Shopping Center $1.19 per square foot of
(up to 175,000 sq.ft.) gross leasable area

generated
Section 6. Inflation Index. Commencing on July 1, 1994 the fees established by
this resolution shall be adjusted on July 1 of each year based upon the Engineering News Record
State Highway Bid Price Index (ENR), or its successor. The City Traffic Engineer shall
compute the percentage difference between the ENR on July 1 of each year and the ENR for the
previous July 1. The City Traffic Engineer shall then adjust by such percentage the fees set I
forth in this resolution. The adjusted amounts shall be rounded to the nearest dollar, and after
a public hearing before the City Council, these amounts shall constitute the fees authorized by
Chapter 22B of the Code of the City of Seal Beach. Should the ENR be revised or discontinued,
the City Traffic Engineer shall use the revised index or a comparable index as approved by the
City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of roadway improvements.
