WHEREAS, the TVTC acknowledges the need for the creation of additional housing in the
Tri-Valley affordable to very low, low, and moderate income households as defined respectively in the
State of California Health and Safety Codes Sections 50105, 5007.5, and 50093 or as amended; and
WHEREAS, the State of California Housing and Community Development (HCD) encourages
affordable housing to remain deed restricted for 45 years for single family residences and 55 years or
longer for multi-family projects and by affordability covenants recorded on the property; and
WHEREAS, the TVTC waives the TVTD fee for all very low, low and moderate income
affordable housing units meeting the applicable State of California Health and Safety Code Sections
requirements and having a minimum affordability term of 55 years (multi-family) and 45 years (single
family) based on the percentage of affordable housing units to the total number of units in the project; and
WHEREAS, the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement specifies that the Fee amounts are to be
adjusted automatically on an annual basis to reflect changes in regional construction costs. The amount of
the adjustment is based on the changes in the "Construction Cost Index" (CCI) for the San Francisco Bay
Area, as reported annually in the Engineering News Record (ENR); and
WHEREAS, for the purposes of CEQA, the Council finds that the adoption of the TVTD fee is
not a "project" under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4). While the TVTD fee is intended to offset
development impacts on regional traffic facilities by funding improvements to those facilities, the
proceeds of the TVTD fee are not, at this time, being committed to any specific project which "may result
in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment".
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the development fees directed by the TVTC to
be collected will be collected from any development within the jurisdiction of the City of Dublin that will
be granted a Land Use Entitlement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Dublin recommends that the TVTC project
funding priorities be consistent with the regional priorities established by the Congestion Management
Agency's Tri-Valley Triangle Study.
