14.30.010 Purpose and findings.

On December 18, 2007, the City Council adopted the December 2007 US-101/Oakland/Mabury Transportation Development Policy accommodating the intensification of industrial, residential, and commercial development in the Proximity of US101/Oakland Road and US-101/Mabury Road interchanges. The intensification of industrial, residential, and commercial development in the proximity of the existing US-101/Oakland Road interchange creates a need for new vehicle trip capacity at the US-101/Oakland interchange and the need for a new US-101/Mabury Road interchange. The US-101/Oakland/Mabury Transportation Development Policy specifies required transportation improvements that would create one thousand one hundred fifty-three vehicle trips of development capacity, as measured in PM peak hour trips, to accommodate interchange trips from intensification of industrial, residential, and commercial development in the proximity area. It is the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting this chapter to provide in part for the required traffic improvements through the adoption of a US-101/Oakland/ Mabury Traffic Impact Fee to be charged to all new industrial, commercial, and residential develop-
