ITEM 3 (401-22)
TRAFFIC IMPACT MITIGATION FEE
LAND USE DESIGNATION CHANGES
SOUTH POWAY BUSINESS PARK
Deputy Mayor Rexford opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. On December 17, 2002, Council established a traffic mitigation fee of $55
for every average daily trip (ADT) estimated to be generated as a result of a land use
designation change from Light Industrial to Industrial Park, and established 71 ADT per
acre as the expected increase in ADT associated with the change. The fee is deemed
necessary to off-stet the costs of providing identified long range circulation related
improvements in the Business Park associated with the intensification of use as
identified in the Traffic Study prepared for SPA 84-01QQ. With the recent commercial
development interest in the Business Park, there is a need to apply a similar fee to land
use designation changes from LI to IP to South Poway Commercial (SPC). The
recommended traffic impact mitigation fee would be applicable to all projects within the
South Poway Specific Plan (SPSP) area requesting and receiving the land use
designation change.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Goldby, to close the
public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 03-018, entitled, "A Resolution of the City
Council, of the City of Poway, California, Approving a Traffic Mitigation Fee for South
Poway Specific Plan Amendments that Change the Land Use Designation of Properties
from Light Industrial or Industrial Park to South Poway Commercial." Motion carried 4-0
with Mayor Cafagna absent.
