Davis Street -Doolittle Drive Intersection Improvements Traffic Impact Fee Jusrification - AB 1600 Report Page 4 of 7 The City of San Leandro currently charges a traffic impact fee, the "Development Fees for Street Improvements" (DFSI) for all net or additional development throughout the City. The basis for this fee is that while one particular development cannot be shown to contribute traffic at widespread locations throughout the city, the cumulative contribution of all increases in land use and development does increase traffic at many intersections and locations. In the case of this proposed fee, one specific intersection, Davis Street and Doolittle Drive, is singularly useful in serving growth in the proposed impact fee area in Figure L This is because there are few alternative routes for traffic other than to use Davis and Doolittle. Additionally it was concluded that the fee due under the current traffic impact fee schedule was insufficient to mitigate the traffic impact of development projects in the impact zone. THE USE TO WHICH THE FEE WILL BE PUT (GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001 (A)(2)) The proposed fee will be used to acquire right-of--way, design and construct intersection improvements including traffic signal modifications to mitigate impacts of increased trips through Davis-Doolittle intersection due to anticipated increase in industrial development in the proposed impact fee areas. The traffic improvements shall include, but not be limited to, the following: • Widening eastbound Davis Street approach with on additional lane • Widening westbound Davis Street with one additional lane • Widening northbound Doolittle Drive with an additional lane • Improvements to Traffic Signal hardware and operations A more detailed description of the required traffic improvements to which the fee will be applied, including costs of the improvements, can be found in the Davis Street and Doolittle Drive Project No. 210-38-249 Plans, Specifications and Estimate all on file in the office of the City Engineer. DETERMINE HOW THERE IS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FEE'S USE AND THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ON WHICH THE FEE IS IMPOSED (GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001 (A)(3)) A reasonable relationship exists between the fee's use and the type of development in the proposed impact fee areas. The fee will be used to construct intersection improvements required to mitigate impacts of increased trip making through the Davis-Doolittle intersection due to the anticipated increase in development within the traffic impact area.
