66001 (a) (3) Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. By definition, new development is construction of buildings and other improvements for use by people. Residents, patrons, and employees will, on average, travel to the new development in motor vehicles at rates that are published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). The ITE trip generation manual contains individual trip generation rates for different types of development. For example, residential units are listed as generating, on average, 1.45 peak hour vehicle trips each day while fast food restaurants are listed as generating 22.67 peak hour trips for each 1000 sf of floor area each day. The fee is proposed to be applied to all development projects within certain proximity (zone of benefit) to the Improvements, see figure 1. A traffic report entitled `Traffic Impact Fee Analysis for I-880/Marina Interchange Improvement' by TJKM traffic consultants (Traffic Report), attached, concludes that 20.8% of the new vehicle trips generated by development within the zone of benefit will use the Marina Boulevard Interstate 880 Interchange and that said traffic will reduce the level of service below acceptable levels. Construction of the Improvements will increase the capacity of the roadway and return the level of service to D or better. 66001 (a) (4) Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. Traffic volumes were forecast to the year 2030 by using the bay area traffic model that is maintained by the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA). An analysis of the forecast by TJKM traffic consultants, contained in the Traffic Report, found that 34.03% of the peak hour vehicle trips over the Interchange in 2030 were generated by new development within the zone of benefit. Most of those new trips were attributable to a proposed development at 1701 Marina Boulevard for which a Preliminary Environmental Impact Report has been prepared and mitigation measures proposed. The remaining new development trips, 8.84% of the vehicle trips over the Interchange in 2030, are generated by miscellaneous new development within the fee area.
