32-102.1 Intent and Purpose.

The Town Council declares that:

a. Improvements to the circulation system are needed to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Danville. (The need for improvements is documented in the "County Public Works Department Road Deficiency Study, 1968," the "Transportation and Parking Analysis, October 1984" prepared by JHK and Associates, the "Crow Canyon Corridor Transportation Study" prepared by TJKM in 1986, the "Traffic Signal Prioritization" study prepared by Patterson Associates in 1992, the Danville Capital Improvement Program, and the Danville General Plan.)

b. New nonresidential development within the Town will create an additional burden on the existing circulation systems.

c. The General Plan includes goals and objectives relating to minimizing congestion and maximizing safety in the circulation system. Modifications within the Town are needed to mitigate existing and potential future circulation impacts.

d. All development for the erection, construction or alteration of nonresidential buildings within the Town of Danville must be consistent with the General Plan. In addition, the approval of such development must assure that the General Plan and implementation of the goals and objectives relating to circulation and parking are, or will be, implemented.

e. In order to implement the General Plan, and promote the health, safety and general welfare it is necessary (among other implementation methods) that new development pay a fee in lieu of the installation of the improvements necessary for implementation of the Circulation Element of the Genera] Plan, including new streets, traffic signals, traffic signal interconnects and parking facilities.

f. Fees collected will be used throughout the Town based upon a priority ranking determined by the Town Council.

g. This section is adopted under the police power of the Town, Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, and under the appropriate provisions of the Planning and Zoning Law of the State of California, Government Code §65000 et seq.
