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.

32-104.1 Purpose and Use of Fees.

The purpose of the fees described in this section is to generate funds to finance improvements to regional transportation projects which are designed to help mitigate the regional impacts of forecasted development within the Tri-Valley Development Area. The fees will be used to finance the road improvements listed in the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Establishing the Tri-Valley Transportation Council for Planning and Facilitating the Implementation of Transportation Improvement Projects in the Tri- Valley Transportation Area (JEPA). As discussed in more detail in the JEPA, there is a reasonable relationship between the fees and the types of development projects that are subject to the fees in that the development projects will generate additional traffic on regional transportation facilities in the Tri-Valley area, thus creating a need to expand or improve existing facilities to mitigate adverse traffic and infrastructure impacts that would otherwise result from such development projects.
