TDM Program Guidelines.

Note 8: If the party responsible for submitting either Annual TDM Plan Compliance Documentation and/or an Annual TDM Monitoring Report is a current member of a Transportation Management Organization

(TMO) that is certified in accordance with LADOT’s TMO Certification Guidelines, the party shall only be required to pay a $330 annual monitoring fee for Level 1 and Level 2 Projects, and a $835 annual monitoring fee for Level 3 Projects. The responsible party may include, but is not necessarily limited to, a property owner or property manager.

Note 9: A “technical study” can include, but is not limited to, technical memorandums (defined in LADOT’s Transportation Assessment Guidelines), trip generation assessments, transportation assessment

supplements, a user defined TDM Strategy review, shared parking analysis, etc. The fee includes the cost to process a study MOU, if required.

Note 10: A charge of $7,870 for the first five study intersections plus $500 per each additional study intersection, not to exceed a total of $25,000.

Note 11: Any project that is required to assess access to pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities as indicated in the Department of City Planning’s Transportation Study Assessment Referral Form and/or a

Transportation Assessment MOU, shall pay the Major Project Transportation Assessment Review fee.

Special Note: If a project is approved by LADOT through the subdivision clearance or building permit process and all applicable fees have been paid, future approvals will not require additional fees as long as there have been no substantial changes to the approved portion of the project.

This fund shall be used exclusively by LADOT to provide funding for the continual enhancement of development review-related information technology systems and for the procurement costs associated with equipment, software, materials, staff training, and, if needed, consultant services. With the exception of the flat technology support fee deposited into Transportation Fee Fund No. 50Y, the remaining fees collected shall be credited to the General Fund. The technology support fee, which is included in the fees listed above, is applied as follows: $100 for LADOT review services that cost under $1,000; $300 for services between $1,000 and $3,000; and $500 for services that are $3,000 or more.

C. Engineering Services. LADOT shall offer engineering services for unique services that take under 10 hours to complete. These engineering services include, but are not limited to, providing access to signal timing charts, gathering related project lists, performing field engineering work related to a Traffic Control Plan, conducting Short Term Worksite Traffic Control Plan Review (72 hours or less), inspecting sites, etc. A charge of $155 shall be assessed for each hour of services, or a proportional fee for each fractional hour.

D. Planning Services. LADOT shall offer planning services for unique services that take under 10 hours to complete. These planning services include, but are not limited to, providing access to forecasted and empirical travel data and travel diagnostics for a specific defined area. A charge of $145 shall be assessed for each hour of services, or a proportional fee for each fractional hour.

E. Expedited Services. LADOT shall offer expedited services in the review of any of the processes listed above, including transportation assessments, Site TDM Plans, and B-permit design plans. Project applicants can

choose to pay a higher review fee to allow LADOT staff to work overtime hours to expedite their review. The actual review fee to process a transportation assessment, which will be greater than the standard transportation assessment review fee, will be determined by LADOT during the preparation of the Transportation Assessment MOU executed between LADOT and the applicant’s representative. The fee shall be based on the applicant’s desired completion date, the availability of staff to work overtime, and the affected division’s workload. During times of peak workloads, the expedited review fee may be utilized by LADOT to procure an outside firm from the department’s pre-screened list of consultants to conduct the review of the assessment. Similarly, the actual fee to process Long-Term Worksite Traffic Control Plans (over 72 hours) or B-permit design plans shall be established by LADOT at the pre-design meeting with the applicant’s representative.

F. Fee Revisions. LADOT shall provide an annual review of the fees established pursuant to this section, and shall submit recommendations for changes in these fees to the City Council. The fees shall be revised by LADOT to account for any staff salary cost of living adjustments. Notice of any increased fees shall be in accordance with Government Code Sections 66018 and 6062a.

(Amended by Ord. No. 188,796, Eff. 2/23/26.)

There shall be added to each fee imposed for any permit, plan check, license or application, provided in Chapter I of this Code, a surcharge in an amount equal to the greater of 7 percent of the fee or $1.00, except that any other surcharge shall be excluded from the computation of this surcharge.

(f) Either (1) an addition of 1,501 square feet or more of Floor Area to an existing single-family detached home located in a single-family zone, or (2) a replacement of a single-family detached home resulting in a larger single-family detached home with a net increase of 1,501 square feet or more of Floor Area from the prior home that existed on the property; provided, however, in either event, a covenant shall be recorded against the property prior to the issuance of a building permit for such addition or replacement requiring the owner of the property to pay the Linkage Fee if the home is sold within three years of the issuance of such building permit. The covenant shall automatically expire at the end of such three-year period, if no sale of the property has occurred during such three-year period. However, in the event of a sale of the property within such three-year period, the covenant shall not expire until a notice of covenant termination is recorded. A notice of covenant termination shall be provided by the City upon full payment of Linkage Fee due, based on the fee schedule in effect at the time of payment. The covenant shall run with the land and bind all successive owners of the property until the Linkage Fee is fully paid.

(g) An Accessory Dwelling Unit as defined by California Government Code Section 65852.2.

(h) Any project located within the boundaries of the Central City West Specific Plan Area, as defined in Ordinance No. 163,094, if the Applicant agrees by covenant and agreement with the City or by

development agreement to abide by the linkage fee and replacement housing obligations in Section 16.60 of this Chapter.

(i) A residential project that is subject to a greater affordable housing fee requirement or is required to provide one or more physical housing units pursuant to the Mello Act in order to satisfy its

inclusionary housing obligations. In that case, the residential component of the project shall be exempt from the Linkage Fee requirements of this Section. Nonresidential portions of mixed-use Coastal Zone projects shall be analyzed separately from residential portions of mixed-use projects for the purposes of the Linkage Fee requirements of this section. Nonresidential portions of such projects shall be subject to this section. The provision of housing units or in-lieu fees to satisfy replacement housing obligations under the Mello Act (as opposed to inclusionary housing obligations) shall not exempt a project from the Linkage Fee requirements of this section.

(j) A residential Development Project that is subject to affordable housing requirements pursuant to any land use policy or ordinance or development agreement that exceeds the Linkage Fee requirements

of this section in either fee amount or on-site affordable housing percentages provided in Paragraph 19.18 B.2.(b).

(k) A residential Development Project that is subject to affordable housing and labor requirements pursuant to LAMC Section 11.5.11.

(l) Any Grocery Store, provided there is no existing Grocery Store within a one-third (1/3) mile radius of the Development Project site.

(m) Any Adaptive Reuse Project that is a designated Historic-Cultural Monument and is being converted to a residential use.

(n) Any nonresidential Floor Area within a Development Project that is located in the South Los Angeles Transit Empowerment Zone, also referred to as the “Slate-Z” Promise Zone Area, located in Low
Market Areas according to the nonresidential area map. This exemption shall only apply to Development Projects for which a Building Permit Application or complete planning or zoning entitlement
application is submitted within three years of the effective date of this ordinance. This exemption will no longer be valid three years after the effective date of this ordinance.

3. Protests, Adjustments and Waivers.

(a) An Applicant may protest the imposition of the Linkage Fee and request that the requirements of this section be adjusted or waived pursuant to Government Code Section 66020 et seq., based on a
showing that the application of the requirements of this section would effectuate an unconstitutional taking of property or otherwise have an unconstitutional application to the Development Project. Protests
shall be filed with the Director.

(b) On or before the date on which payment of the Linkage Fee is due, the Applicant shall pay the amount required by this section and serve a written notice to the Director with all of the following
information: (1) a statement that the required payment is tendered, or will be tendered when due, under protest; and (2) a statement informing the Director of the factual elements of the dispute and the legal
theory forming the basis for the protest or request for adjustment or waiver, along with the substantial evidence that supports the protest or request, including any supporting documentation. The protest must
be filed at the time of approval or conditional approval of the Development Project or within 90 days after the imposition of the Linkage Fee. The City shall provide the Applicant with written notice as
required by Government Code Section 66010(d)(1), as that section may be amended from time to time.

(c) If the Director determines that application of the requirements of this section would effectuate an unconstitutional taking of property or otherwise have an unconstitutional application to a Development
Project, the fee requirements shall be adjusted or waived to reduce the obligations under this section to the extent necessary to avoid an unconstitutional result. The Director shall render a decision within 75
days from the date the protest was received.

(d) If an adjustment or waiver is granted, any change in the Development Project shall invalidate the adjustment or waiver. If the Director determines that no violation of the federal or state constitution
would occur through application of this section, the requirements of this section shall remain fully applicable.

(e) Failure of an Applicant to comply with the protest requirements of this Section or Government Code Section 66020 et seq., shall bar that applicant from any action or proceeding or any defense of
invalidity or unreasonableness of the imposition of the Linkage Fee.

C. Fee Calculation.

1. The City Council shall adopt, by resolution, a Linkage Fee schedule based on an analysis of the cost of mitigating the impact of the additional demand for affordable housing caused by Development Projects, and on the varying levels of economic feasibility in different geographic areas of the City based on current market conditions. The City Council shall also adopt, by resolution, a map or maps establishing the respective market areas throughout the City that inform the amount of the Linkage Fee to be assessed for a given Development Project.

2. For each Development Project, the Linkage Fee shall be calculated as the amount of new or added Floor Area in the Development Project devoted to the uses described in the Linkage Fee schedule, as

determined by the Department of Building and Safety, multiplied by the amount of the applicable fee, as found in the most recent Linkage Fee schedule adopted by City Council, at the time the building permit for the Development Project is issued, minus any deductions or credits.

3. Fee Adjustments and Reports.

   (a) Annual Inflation Adjustment. The Linkage Fee shall be adjusted annually for inflation beginning on July 1, 2018, by the Director in accordance with the latest change in year-over-year Consumer

   Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County area, or if such index ceases to be published, by an equivalent index chosen by the Director. An updated Linkage Fee schedule shall be maintained by the Department of City Planning, which shall provide a copy of the adjusted schedule to the Mayor and City Council each year. (b) Five-Year Market Area Adjustment. Every five years, beginning on July 1, 2018, the Director, in association with LAHD shall undertake a new market area analysis and adjust market areas and geographies, where necessary, to reflect the most up to date rental and sales price information for each of the market areas. Any change to the Linkage Fee schedule other than the Annual Inflation Adjustment described in Paragraph (a) above shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council.

4. Deductions or Credits.

   (a) Change of Use. If the Development Project is the result of a change of use from nonresidential to residential, the Linkage Fee to be paid is the result of subtracting the equivalent fee amount that

   either was paid or would have been paid, based on the pre-existing use, from the fee amount required to be paid for the new use based on the most recent Linkage Fee schedule approved by the City Council. Deductions or credits shall not be applied to any portion of a Development Project comprised of additional Floor Area resulting from new construction. The calculation of a deduction or credit shall not result in a refund to an Applicant or be applied as a credit to another Development Project in a different location.

   (b) Affordable Housing Units. Any Restricted Affordable Units may be subtracted from the total number of dwelling units or guest rooms in a building in determining the required Linkage Fee.

   (c) Mixed Use. The first 15,000 square feet of nonresidential use in a mixed-use building shall be excluded from the calculation of Floor Area for the purposes of determining the required Linkage Fee.

   (d) Transfer of Floor Area Rights. Any additional Floor Area that is obtained by a Development Project through the provision of public benefit payments pursuant to LAMC Section 14.5.9 shall be

   excluded from the calculation of Floor Area for purposes of determining the Linkage Fee for the Development Project.

   (e) Other Affordable Housing Requirements. In calculating Floor Area for purposes of determining the Linkage Fee for a Development Project, the following shall be excluded from that calculation:

   (1) the Floor Area of the residential portion of a mixed-use Development Project that is subject to affordable housing requirements pursuant to any land use policy or ordinance or development

   agreement that exceeds the Linkage Fee requirements of this section in either fee amount or on-site affordable housing percentages provided in Paragraph 19.18 B.2.(b).

   (2) the Floor Area of the residential portion of a mixed-use Development Project that is subject to affordable housing and labor requirements pursuant to LAMC Section 11.5.11.

(f) Land Dedication. If the Los Angeles Housing Department accepts, on behalf of the City, an offer by an Applicant to dedicate land offsite from the proposed location of the Development Project for the purpose of building affordable housing, the value of the land to be dedicated, to be determined as the average of two independent appraisals funded by the Applicant, may be deducted from the Linkage Fee amount owed for the Applicant’s Development Project. If the value of the dedicated land is more than the Linkage Fee owed for the Applicant’s Development Project, the City shall bear no responsibility for the difference in value, nor shall that overage be applied as a credit to any future Development Project.

5. Payment of Linkage Fee. The Linkage Fee is due and payable by the Applicant prior to the issuance of a building permit for a Development Project. No additional fee shall be required for a project seeking

an extension of an expired building permit.

6. Refunds of Linkage Fee. Any fee paid under the provisions of this section may be refunded to an Applicant if the application for the building permit has expired and was not utilized to begin construction of

a Development Project.

D. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, that invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this ordinance, which can be implemented without the invalid provisions and, to this end, the provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each and every provision and portion thereof not declared invalid or unconstitutional, without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

For special generators, pursuant to Section C.1.(b), the fee shall be calculated as provided in Section C.1.(b).

3. TIA Fee Credits.

(a) Existing Land Use Credit. The Fee Credit for existing uses, as provided in Section 8.A of the WLA TIMP and the CTCSP, shall be determined and calculated as follows:

(i) Existing land uses on a Project site for which a TIA Fee was paid pursuant to Ordinance Nos.160,394, 168,999, or 171,492 shall receive a Fee Credit based on the existing land uses for which a
fee was previously paid; and

(ii) For existing land uses that are not eligible for a credit under Subsection i., above, a Fee Credit shall be given when requested by the Applicant subject to all of the following:

(a) Applicants for Projects seeking credits for existing uses must provide LADOT with documentation supporting the existence and duration of the use (such as, lease agreements, utility
bills, or previous environmental reviews). LADOT will validate credits for existing uses based on the provided documentation.

(b) Fee Credits shall not be given for existing Affordable Dwelling Units.

(c) If the existing use was active for at least six consecutive months during the past two years prior to submittal of plans to LADBS pursuant to LAMC Section 12.26 A.3., a 100 percent
credit will be granted for the existing use pursuant to the calculation below. The 100 percent credit is calculated as follows:

Credit = (number of existing Units) x (TIA Fee per Unit)
