Truckee Municipal Code Ch. 3.33 Mitigation Fee Program

Non-traffic facility development impact fees are imposed in connection with the issuance of all building permits, for development within the Town to pay for certain public facilities and improvements necessitated by new development, as set forth in the Mitigation Fee Report adopted by the Town Council, as it may be amended, updated, or superseded from time to time. The Mitigation Fee Report contains a capital improvement program and analyzed the impacts of contemplated future land development on the existing public facilities in the Town, the need for new public facilities, the improvements required by new development, and the relationship between new development, the needed facilities, and the estimated cost of those facilities.

Until such time as the Town Council by resolution adopts a different schedule of non-traffic facility development impact fees, the fees identified in the Mitigation Fee Report dated January 2005 shall be applicable to all building permits. The Town Council shall, by resolution, set forth the specific amount of each fee, the date the fee goes into effect, describe the benefit and impact area on which the development fee is imposed, list the specific public improvements to be financed, describe the estimated cost of these facilities, describe the reasonable relationship between this fee and the various types of new developments, and set forth time for payment. As described in the fee resolution, these development fees shall be paid by each developer prior to issuance of a building permit. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66006, on an annual basis, the Town Council shall review this fee to determine whether the fee amounts are reasonably related to the impacts of developments and whether the described public facilities are still needed. The Town Council shall, by resolution, establish detailed rules for the administration of the non-traffic development impact fee program. The Town Council may, by resolution, adopt inflationary adjustments to the development impact fees at any time based upon the Engineering News Construction Index, new information on project costs, or new information associated with uses of land development.

A traffic impact fee is imposed in connection with the issuance of all building permits, for development within the Town to pay for designated traffic capacity and safety improvements necessitated by new development, as set forth in the Truckee Area AB 1600 Traffic Impact Fee Study adopted by the Town Council, hereinafter referred to as "the Traffic Fee Report", as it may be amended, updated, or superseded from time to time. The Traffic Fee Report analyzed the impacts of contemplated future land development on the existing transportation facilities in the Town, the need for new public facilities, the improvements required by new development, and the relationship between new development, the needed facilities, and the estimated cost of those facilities. The Traffic Fee Report will be updated and adopted by the Town Council as necessary to adequately reflect future land use development projections and transportation improvements. The current adopted version of the Traffic Fee Report is on file in the Office of the Town Clerk.

At any time following the establishment of fees by the ordinance amending this chapter, the Town Council may, by resolution, set forth the specific amount of the fee, the date the fee goes into effect, describe the benefit and impact area on which the development fee is imposed, list the specific public improvements to be financed, describe the estimated cost of these facilities, describe the reasonable relationship between this fee and the various types of new developments, and set forth time for payment. As described in the fee resolution, this development fee shall be paid by each developer prior to issuance of a building permit. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66006, on an annual basis, the Town Council shall review this fee to determine whether the fee amounts are reasonably related to the impacts of developments and whether the described public facilities are still needed. The Town Council shall, by resolution, establish detailed rules for the administration of the traffic fee impact program. The Town Council may, by resolution, adopt inflationary adjustments to the traffic impact fee at any time based upon the Engineering News Construction Index, new information on project costs, new information on cross-jurisdictional impact fee funding, or new information associated with uses of land development.
