Home My WebLink AboutS17 - Traffic Impact - Fairshare - Fee Update AgreementCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. S17 April 10, 2007 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Public Works Department Stephen G. Badum 949 - 644 -3311 or sbadum @city.newport - beach.ca.us SUBJECT: TRAFFIC IMPACT (FAIRSHARE) FEE UPDATE — APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RBF CONSULTING RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to execute a Professional Services Agreement with RBF Consulting for updating the City's traffic impact fee to be consistent with the newly adopted City General Plan. Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement for an amount not to exceed $102,900. DISCUSSION: The City's new General Plan was approved by the voters in November 2006. The City s Fairshare Fee program needs to be updated to be consistent with the New General Plan. This proposed update is a top priority of the General Plan Implementation Committee. The Committee has established an August 2007 deadline to complete this work. The City's Fairshare Fee program was originally adopted in 1984, updated in 1994, and adjusted periodically based upon the consumer price index. The purpose of the Fairshare Fee program is to equitably distribute the cost of traffic congestion reduction improvements to the future development that generates the need for such projects. The new City General Plan has identified 18 intersections that would need improvements to accommodate the ultimate buildout of the City under the new plan (see attachment A). In addition to these intersections, there are several remaining City Master Plan of Arterial Highway segments that remain to be built (see attachment B). The City also wants to explore other potential congestion reduction measures that could be included in this program such as pedestrian overcrossings at key intersections, local transit programs, and periodic technology updates for the City's traffic signalization program that would reduce congestion and mitigate the effects of new development. Traffic Impact Fee Update — Approval of Professional Services Agreement with RBF Consulting April 10, 2007 Page 2 The scope of services for this work will include: • Working with City staff to identify potential traffic impact projects. • Compile a draft list of projects for consideration by the City's General Plan Implementation committee. • Develop preliminary concept plans for each designated traffic impact project with cost estimates. • Compile traffic impact project cost data with the updated land uses and related trip generation rates to establish a new fee To expedite the project, staff solicited responses from qualified consultants as to their ability to meet the proposed schedule. Staff chose RBF Consulting to perform the work based upon their commitment to meet the schedule and .their recent experience performing similar work for the City of Irvine.
