A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, SETTING THE
TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE
AMOUNT PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE NO. 507
WHEREAS, the City Council, of the City of La Quinta, California by
Ordinance No. 507 established a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee based on
certain findings including but not limited to the following:
(1) Future development within the City of La Quinta and within the Coachella
Valley to the year 2030 will result in traffic volumes in excess of capacity thereby
adversely impacting the regional system,of streets, arterials and highways now
existing;
(2) Failure to expand the capacity of the existing circulation system will cause
unacceptable levels of congestion on the streets, arterials, and highways of the
regional system;
(3) Absent a uniform mitigation transportation fee imposing a fair -share traffic
impact fee on new development, existing and future sources of revenue will be
inadequate to fund substantial portions of the Regional Transportation System
improvements needed to avoid unacceptable levels of congestion and related
adverse impacts;
(4) The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee will raise the additional revenues
needed to construct the improvements to accommodate traffic that will be
generated by development of land within the City and within the Coachella Valley;
(5) The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee is a fair and equitable method for
distributing the unfunded costs of transportation improvements necessary to
accommodate the traffic volumes generated by new development; and
WHEREAS, Section 3.33.050 of Ordinance No. 507 requires that the amount
of the mitigation fee (1) shall be based on the trip generation rate defined in
CVAG's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Handbook, a copy of which is on
file in the City's Public Works Department, (2) shall be established by the City and
(3) requires the City to adopt by resolution the fee as recommended by CVAG or a
higher fee amount; and
