Discussion Regarding Marina Boulevard Interchange Impact Fee Uche Udemezue provided a brief description about the Marina/I-880 Interchange Impact Fee. Improvements will cost $27M and are needed to handle the traffic forecasted for the year 2030. As it stands, there is no funding for the improvements; however. Kaiser paid its fair share for the hospital and retail/housing development. We are looking to create this impact fee so that other developers will pay a fair share as well. Nick Thom gave a presentation describing the need for an impact fee, the development of the fee, and the amount of the fee. An impact fee is needed to help fund improvements to the Marina/I-880 Interchange because traffic is projected to double by year 2030. Work will consist of a new bridge over the freeway; connector ramps from Marina Boulevard to the freeway and traffic signals at the connector ramps. These improvements are not included in the City's Master Plan of Streets and so are not covered by our existing Developer Fee for Street Improvements (DFSI). A traffic study was conducted to analyze the Bay Area Traffic model and determine the amount of traffic over the interchange in 2030 and its origin and destination. The analysis indicates that approximately 9% of the traffic in the year 2030 will be from new development. The analysis also revealed that approximately 20% of the new vehicle trips from new development within a certain proximity to the interchange (the zone of benefit) will use the interchange. A cost per vehicle trip was calculated by dividing the cost of the improvements by the number of peak hour trips over the interchange. The fee for new development was set at the (cost. per trip) x (number of trips generated) x (% of trips that use the interchange). The fee collected from new development will be capped at 9% of the project costs ($2.4M), adjusted for inflation. The Marina/I-880 Interchange Impact Fee for a single family home will be $585.16.
