III. Reasons for Recommendation and Background:
On January 28, 1986, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 86/36
establishing the Crow Canyon Area of Benefit to collect fees from development to
reimburse the Blackhawk Corporation for the construction of the Crow Canyon
Road Extension. On September 16, 1986, the Board of Supervisors adopted
Resolution No. 86/560 approving a County Reimbursement Agreement with the
Blackhawk Corporation for the construction of the Crow Canyon Road Extension.
To address the traffic needs in the region, the County, Town of Danville, and City
of San Ramon entered into a"Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (Tassajara Area
Transportation Improvement Fees (TATIF))" dated April 28, 1987. Within the
framework of this agreement, the County, Town, and City collected a fee from
development in the TATIF area. These fees funded road improvement projects in
the region, with a portion ($1,840) of each fee collected going to the reimburse the
Blackhawk Corporation for construction of the Crow Canyon Road Extension. The
Blackhawk Corporation has now been fully reimbursed.
Recently, the County, Town and City prepared the Southern Contra Costa (SCC)
Joint Exercise of Powers (JEPA). This new agreement between the jurisdictions
establishes regional and sub-regional traffic mitigation fee programs, in part to fund
the construction of projects necessary to mitigate the impact created by develop-
ment in Dougherty Valley. The traffic study that was prepared for the Dougherty
Valley Settlement Agreement between the County, Town, and City was used to
identify the sub-regional road improvement projects in the SCC area. The traffic
study also determined the fair share cost of the sub-regional improvements
attributable to development in Dougherty Valley and attributable to development in
the area around Dougherty Valley. The fair share costs attributable to development
in the area around Dougherty Valley are funded through the collection of the SCC
Sub-Regional Fee. The TATIF area borders the northern portion of Dougherty
Valley.
The SCC JEPA has been prepared with the intention of leaving the TATIF area as
a separate fee area with the covenents of the Tassajara JEPA remaining in effect.
The TATIF project list and the SCC Sub-Regional project list have two projects in
common: Crow Canyon Road improvements and Camino Tassajara improvements.
Because the TATIF area is within the SCC Sub-Regional Fee area, staff from the
City, Town, and County recommend that the unobligated TATIF (Crow Canyon
Road Extension) funds be used, in part, to fund those two improvement projects.
Staff feels there is a sufficient conection between development in the TATIF area
and the need for the improvements to Crow Canyon Road and Camino Tassajara.
The existing unobligated balance of the Crow Canyon Trust Fund is approximately
$180,000. There are approximately 300 remaining units in the TATIF Fee Area that
have been previously conditioned to pay the TATIF. These units are expected to
generate an additional $550,000 in unobligated TATIF funds. The trust fund
balance is affected by interest accrued, as well as administrative charges in the
form of trust fund administration and the setup charges for the Southern Contra
Costa JEPA. These administrative charges are applicable only to the interest
accrued, and not to fees collected from developers.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The unobligated TATIF funds could not be used to fund construction of SCC Sub-
regional projects. The SCC Sub-Regional fee would have to be increased in order
to fund those projects fully.
