1. Traffic Mitigation Fees for Regional Arterials Pursuant to Section 15 06.050 of the
Poway Municipal Code. (0490-15)
Robert Manis, Director of Development Services, presented the staff report. In
November 2004, voters in San Diego County approved a 40-year extension to the
existing TransNet program, which is designed to fund improvements to the region's
transportation system. The prime component of the TransNet program is a half-
cent sales tax. In addition to the sales tax extension, the TransNet Extension
Ordinance requires implementation of a new local funding source for the Regional
Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP). The purpose of the
RTCIP is to ensure that new development directly invests in the region's
transportation system to offset the negative impact of growth on congestion and
mobility. The TransNet Extension Ordinance mandates that beginning July 1, 2008,
each local agency in the San Diego region shall contribute $2,000 to the RTCIP per
newly constructed residential housing unit in that jurisdiction.
There were no public speakers on this item.
