TITLE: AUTHORIZING A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
AND INTERIM.FEE FOR THE'PORTION OF
THE CITY NOT COVERED BY THE LA COSTA
AREA STUDY.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
DEPT. HD.
CITY ATTi.-A
CITY MGR.
ADOPT Resolution No. r', and Resolution No. (,( D
authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Barton-
Aschman Associates, Inc. for a traffic impact study in the
remainder of the City similar to that prepared for the La Costa
area at a cost not to exceed-$85,000, and authorizing the
collection of an Interim Traffic Impact Fee pending the results of
the study.
ITEM EXPLANATION
In conjunction with the overall Growth Management Program, there
exists a need to determine the current and future circulation
adequacy throughout the City. A similar study on a smaller scale
was -just completed for the La Costa area and this study would
address those areas not previously examined. As staff indicated in
the original agenda bill for the La Costa area study, the balance of the City would be reviewed when the La Costa Study was complete
and approved by City Council.
The purpose of the study now being recommended will be to do just
that. It is also needed as part of th- City's on -going monitoring
process of compliance with the adopted circulation performance
standards for each of the approved Local Facility Management Zone
Plans.
Due to the time constraints in place to finalize the framework for
the Growth Management Program, staff is recommending that the formal bidding process be waived in order to allow staff to
contract with Barton"Aschman for this study. Staff believes that
this firm's work on the La Costa Traffic Impact Fee Study provides
them with the necessary background to accomplish the remaining
traffic impact study. Also as A by product of this study, staff
will be provided with a computerized traffic model so that City
staff can evaluate the impacts of new development on the City's
traffic circulation system on an in-house basis.
The information obtained will be utilized to identify the current
and long-term traffic impacts, propose alternatives necessary to
solve or mitigate these impacts, prepare the cost estimates of the
alternatives, recommend phasing of the alternatives and develop the
appropriate fee schedules.
Because the o-•erall Traffic Impact Study will not be completed
until December 31, 1986 and several projects will be allowed to go
forward prior to the determination of the actual impact fee, staff
is recommending that Resolution No.
be ted to
and authorize the collection of an inter e�rim traffic pimpact feeablish
This fee would be similar to the interim fee which was adopted for

F
' the La Costa Area.
The specific interim fee has been determined
based upon an estimate of needed roadway improvements and the
traffic generation rates of various
types of undeveloped land in
the portion of the City not covered by the La Costa Stud
generation rates are taken from the SANDAG publication of•tThese
raffic
generation in the San Diego area which were also utilized for the
La Costa Area interim fee.
The fee will be set at $60 per daily trip for residential
single family residence generates 10 tri s (i'e, a

$600), $15 per daily trip for industrialPand$10aY' thus 10 X $60 =
commercial uses. per daily trip for
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the Traffic Impact Study is not to exceed $85,000 an
will be funded from "revenue generated b d
` y the proposed Interim
Traffic Impact Fee. The proposed interim fee will be sufficient to
provide funding for this future capital study and establish some reserves for
projects. The attached resolutions appropriate
funds within the Traffic Impact fund for this study.
