AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 2008
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee
(TVTDF) Update
Report Prepared by: Jaimee Bourgeois, Sr. Civil Engineer (Traffic)
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Draft Resolution
2) Resolution 167-08
3) September 2, 2008, Staff Report
RECOMMENDATION: 1) Open Public Hearing
2) Receive Staff Presentation
_ 3) Receive Public Testimony
4) Close Public Hearing and Deliberate
5) Adopt the resolution rescinding Resolution 167-08 and
adopting the updated Tri-Valley Transportation Development
Fee.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: There is no cost associated with this item. If the revised fee structure
is unanimously approved by each Tri-Valley Transportation Council
member and subsequently by each member jurisdiction's Council or
Board, the City will then likely receive additional development
revenues that will be allocated toward high-priority transportation
projects.
DESCRIPTION: Resolution 167-08 was adopted on September 2, 2008, by the Dublin
City Council to approve an update to the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee (TVTDF) program.
Because proper notification was not provided to "interested parties" 14 days in advance of the meeting and
a public hearing was not held, pursuant to Government Code Section 66016, this item is again being
brought before the City Council.
The Staff Report from the September 2, 2008, City Council meeting provides background information
regarding the fee program update (Attachment 3).

This opportunity is also being taken to include two revisions to Resolution 167-08 (Attachment 2) as
described below.
In response to a concern regarding the use of the following underlined language in the resolution that
specifically states the current priorities from the Tri-Valley Triangle Study priority list and the
appropriateness of this language should the priorities change:
WHEREAS, the TVTC, by Resolution No. 2008-05, directed each of the
signatories of the JEPA to collect the following development fees, which are less than
those determined by the Study to be necessary for the designated Fiscal Years and land
uses, which fees are less than those determined by the Study to be necessary to fund the
unfunded cost of the Projects in List A as 1St priority and List B as 2°d priority, with the
exception that funding for improvements between I-680 and Pigeon Pass under Project A-
la would be lower priority than Projects B-1 and B-2 as identified in the Tri-Valley
Trian lg e Study priority list;
the following action item was added to the resolution:
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.
The second change was the replacement of a recital, which was recommended by the City Attorney, to
clarify the role of the fee program and its designation as "Not a Project" as defined by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Change from:
WHEREAS, the subject application is considered "Not a Project" pursuant to
Section 15378 (Project) of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended;
and is therefore exempt from further environmental analysis.
Change to:
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"; and
If the revised fee structure is adopted by each member jurisdiction's Council or Board, the TVTC will then
hold a public hearing and proceed with preparing modifications to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement
(JEPA) held between each member jurisdiction. The modified JEPA will subsequently need to be
approved by each member jurisdiction prior to implementation of the revised fee program. .
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Open the Public Hearing; 2) Receive Staff Presentation;
3) Receive Public Testimony; 4) Close Public Hearing and Deliberate; and 5) Adopt the resolution
rescinding Resolution 167-08 and adopting the updated Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee.

RECOMMENDATION:
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee (TVTDF) Update
~Zeport Prepared by: Jaimee Bourgeois, Trafj~c Engineer
Resolution
Adopt the Resolution approving the updated Tri-Valley
Transportation Development Fee structure.
There is no cost associated with this item. If the revised fee
structure is unanimously approved by each Tri-Valley
Transportation Council member and subsequently by each member
jurisdiction's Council or Board, then the City of Dublin will likely
receive additional development revenues that will be allocated
toward high-priority transportation projects.
DESCRIPTION: In 1998 and 1999, the Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC)
established aTri-Valley Transportation Development Fee (TVTDF), and adopted a Strategic Expenditure
Plan that programmed anticipated TVTDF revenue to 11 regional transportation projects that. were
identified in the Tri-Valley Transportation Action Plan. In 2004, the TVTC directed Staff to begin the
process of updating the fee nexus study. A second list of 11 new projects was included in the updated
study.
On January 30, 2008, the TVTC approved the updated Tri-Valley Nexus Study Report that identified the
maximum allowable development fees that could be applied to development to fully fund the two lists of
transportation improvement projects.
Table 1 on the following page presents the maximum allowable fees for each land use category in
comparison to the current fees.

At its June 30th meeting, the TVTC developed the following guidelines:
• Charge no more than 35% of the maximum allowable
• Phase the new fees in over atwo-year period
• Cap the retail fee at 15% of the maximum allowable
• Affardable housing projects meeting specific criteria (publicly-funded, privately-funded non-
profit, and privately-funded for profit) would be exempt from paying fees
• Transit-oriented development would be charged the multi-family residential rate
Based on this specific set of guidelines, the fee structure can be summarized as presented in Table 2. This
fee structure would generate an estimated $391 million between 2009 and 2030.

1. Affordable housing projects meeting specific criteria would be exempt from paying fees
2. Retail would be capped at 15% of the maximum
3. The fee for land use category "Other" does not match the current fee from Table 1 because the fee structure
currently in place reflects a reduction to the "Other" category fee that was approved by the TVTC after the fee
program was initially adopted. The reduction was later applied for retail development to help facilitate the
construction of retail projects in the Tri-Valley, as well as for the "other" category, so that fees in this category
would be more comparable to commercial uses rather than residential uses. This reduction was not carried forward
to the proposed fee structure. This puts the new fee more in line with where it would have been.

To put the fee projection into perspective, it is helpful to review the projected construction costs foY the
projects identified in the Nexus Study Fee Update. The following lists of improvement projects have been
identified as those projects that are needed to help alleviate future congestion in the Tri-Valley.
List A -From the original fee program:
• A-1 I-580/I-680 Interchange -southbound to eastbound connector (Complete)
• A-2a SR-84 Expressway - I-580-to I-680
• A-2b Isabel Route 84/I-580 Interchange
• A-3 I-680 Auxiliary Lanes Segment 2
• A-4 West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station (Under construction, funding complete)
• A-Sa I-580 Eastbound HOV Lane
• A-Sb I-580 Westbound HOV Lane
• A-6 I-680 HOV Lanes (southbound Complete, northbound not considered for funding)
• A-7 I-580 /Foothill Road Interchange
• A-8 I-680 / Alcosta Interchange (complete)
• A-9a Crow Canyon Road Safety Phase I
• A-9b Crow Canyon Road Safety Phase II
• A-l0a Vasco Road Safety Phase I
• A-1 Ob Vasco Road Safety Phase II
• A-11 Express Bus /Bus Rapid Transit
List A total unfunded cost: $389,34.0,000
List B -Added to the fee program in the 2008 update:
• B-1 I-580 / I-680 -relieve WB to SB movement
• B-2 5`h Eastbound I-5801ane, Santa Rita to Vasco
• B-3 I-580 /First Street Interchange
• B-4 I-580 / Vasco Road Interchange
• B-5 I-580 / Greenville Road Interchange
• B-6 Jack London Boulevard Extension to El Charro
• B-7 El Charro Road Extension
• B-8 Camino Tassajara Widening -East Blackhawk Drive to County Line
• B-9 Danville Blvd /Stone Valley Rd I-680 Interchange Improvements
• B-10 I-680 SB HOV Lanes Gap Closure -North Main to Livorna
• B-1la I-b80 Express Bus HOV On- and Off-Ramps
• B-1 lb I-680 Transit Corridor Improvements
List B total unfunded cost: $1,094,830,000
* Removed from the project list, including the associated unfunded construction cost.
Funding for these projects ranges from sources at the local, regional, state and federal levels. Excluding
TVTDF funding that would be collected in the future if the current fee structure was maintained; the total
unfunded cost of both lists is about $1.48 billion. After payment of a 1 % administrative fee, the proposed
fee structure would almost fund project List A.
Page 3 of 4
~o ~3
From commencement of the TVTDF through Fiscal Year 2007-2008, Dublin has generated approxi~tely
23% of the total TVTDF. With the proposed fee structure, this would amount to Dublin generating $90
million through 2030, of which $18 million (20%) would be retained by the City of Dublin to allocate
toward high-priority projects and $72 million (80%) would be submitted to the TVTC for disbursement.
The TVTC developed a draft resolution for use by each member jurisdiction for Council or Board
approval. Dublin Staff has revised the resolution with respect to one issue. The draft supplied by TVTC
indicated that the fees would be used "to fund the unfunded cost of the projects in List A as 1St priority and
List B as 2°d priority." Staff amended this sentence to also say, "with the exception that funding for
improvements between I-680 and Pigeon Pass under Project A-2a would be lower priority than projects
B-1 and B-2 as identified in the Tri-Valley Triangle Study priority list." The Tri-Valley Triangle Study
project priority list ranks Project B-1 (I-580 / I-680 interchange) as #5, Project B-2 (5th Eastbound I-580
lane) as #10, and the segment from I-680 to Pigeon Pass of Project A-2a (SR-84 Expressway - I-580 to
I-680) as # 12. The revision is proposed to maintain consistency with the established Triangle Study
priorities.
If the revised fee structure is approved by each member jurisdiction's Council or Board, the TVTC will
then hold a public hearing, tentatively set for October 29, 2008.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution to update. the Tri-Valley Transportation
Development Fee structure.
