South San Francisco Municipal Code Ch. 8.73 Transportation Impact Fee

The city council finds and determines that public improvements and facilities must be constructed to accommodate the increased travel demand of new development projected within South San Francisco while maintaining current service standards, to reduce the transportation related impacts caused by this new development, and to implement the transportation related goals contained in the General Plan. The purpose of the transportation impact fee is to finance these public improvements and facilities, and for each new development to pay its fair and proportional share of the improvements.

(Ord. 1607 § 3, 2020)

A. A citywide transportation impact fee is established to pay for transportation improvements.

B. The city council shall, in a resolution adopted after a duly noticed public hearing, set forth the amount of the fee, describe the need for the fee, list the types of transportation improvements to be financed, describe the estimated cost of these improvements, describe the reasonable relationship between the fee and the various types of future development, and set forth time for calculation and payment of the fee.

(Ord. 1607 § 3, 2020)

Transportation impact fee revenue shall be used only for the purposes outlined in this chapter and by resolution, consistent with the purposes of the fee.

(Ord. 1607 § 3, 2020)

Following adoption of this chapter and the implementing resolution provided in Section 8.73.020, any project subject to the citywide transportation impact fee shall be exempt from the East of 101 impact fee adopted in Resolution No. 84-2007, or the bicycle and pedestrian impact fee Chapter 8.68, Resolution No. 84-2007. Notwithstanding the above, if a court of competent jurisdiction declares the citywide transportation impact fee to be invalid or otherwise prevents the city from collecting this fee following the fee becoming effective, all projects shall remain subject to all of the requirements of Chapter 8.68 and, if applicable, of Resolution No. 84-2007 or Section 20.260.006(F)(3).

(Ord. 1607 § 3, 2020)

A developer may appeal the amount of the transportation impact fee due in writing to the city manager with supporting documentation. The city manager shall consider the appeal and shall make a decision on the appeal. The decision of the city manager shall be final.
