RESOLUTION NO. 95/ 377 Formation of the Martinez Area of Benefit August 8, 1995 Page 2 ADOPT the attached ordinance, which forms the Martinez Area of Benefit, and ordains the following: ILI 'tom Traffic Mitigation Fees (Ordinance No. 95 -_a 1. Adopt traffic mitigation fees, as recommended in the Development Program Report. d`J t 2. Adjust the fee schedule every year that the Area of Benefit is in effect, -' to account for the affects of inflation and that at no time will the fee schedule be increased at a rate of more that 5% per year. i Financial Impact: The total estimated cost of the road improvement projects identified in the Development Program Report for the Martinez area, is approximately $7.86 million. The proposed projects however, will only be partially funded by Martinez Area of Benefit fees. Adoption of the Martinez Area of Benefit will generate approximately $1.66 million for road I improvement projects, when all the fees are collected by'the year 2015 target date. The +{ existing unencumbered balance of the Martinez subarea of the Central County Regional Area of Benefit is approximately $525,000 and the unencumbered balance of the Briones subarea is approximately $246,000. Other sources of funding (State or Federal aid, or local sources such as sales tax and gas tax, etc.) will fund the remaining portions of the project costs. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: i The Countywide Area of Benefit was first adopted by the Board of Supervisors on March 15, 1988, to improve the capacity and safety of the arterial road network in unincorporated Contra Costa County through the establishment of a traffic mitigation fee. The Countywide I Area of Benefit was divided into seven regions, some of which were divided into subareas. The seven regions were named West County, Central County, Lamorinda, Alamo, South County, East County, and Bethel Island. The Central County region was divided into four subareas, named Briones, South Walnut Creek, Central County, and Martinez. There was a separate fee schedule for each region. Fees collected within subareas were held in a separate trust fund account specific to that subarea. The formation of separate Areas of Benefit based upon the subareas of the Regional Areas of Benefit will allow the Public Works Department staff to update and administer the program more efficiently. The fees for a particular subarea will now reflect the needs and potential development of that subarea and not of the region surrounding it. The project list set forth in the Development Program Report include the three projects that were on the original project list for the 1988 Countywide Area of Benefit. Two projects were in the Martinez subarea and one was in the Briones subarea. Since this project was the only project in the Briones subarea, the funds in the trust account for the Briones subarea will be transferred into the trust account for the Martinez Area of Benefit. The formation of this area of benefit will incorporate that project and a portion of the Briones subarea into the Martinez Area of Benefit. The reason for this boundary change, is that development in the Martinez subarea has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact upon the infrastructure of this portion of the Briones subarea. The cost estimates of these projects have been revised, the development potential for this area has been revised, and one new project has been added to the project list. This has resulted in a new schedule of proposed fees. RESOLUTION NO. 951 377 J Formation of the Martinez Area of Benefit August 8, 1995 Page 3 Reasons for Recommendations and Background (continued): Sometime in the near future, the remaining portions of the Briones subarea will be incorporated into the Hercules/Rodeo/Crockett Area of Benefit. At that time, the existing trust fund for the Briones subarea will be closed. Until then, traffic mitigation fee will be L3 continued to be collected from development in the subarea and deposited into the Briones subarea trust fund. Ca Government Code Section 66484 and Division 913, Title 9 of the Contra Costa Count Ordinance Code provide for assessing and collecting fees for bridge and/or major thoroughfare construction within a designated area of benefit as a condition of issuing a building permit. The Public Works Director and Director of Community Development have completed a Development Program Report for the Martinez Area of Benefit, which was filed with the Clerk of the Board. Notice of the hearing was duly given in accordance with Government Code Sections 54986, 65091, 66016, and 66484. Consequences of Negative Action: Failure to form the Martinez Area of Benefit will result in lower revenue and the funding of future projects may be delayed.
