DATE:December 21, 2021
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT:Revising the Traffic Impact Fee within the Eastern Dublin Area, Renaming the Program to the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, and Updating the Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative GuidelinesPrepared by: Pratyush Bhatia, Transportation and Operations Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:The City Council will consider revising the Traffic Impact Fee for future development within the eastern Dublin area and renaming the program to the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee(EDTIF). The EDTIF was last revised in 2010 and needs to be updated based on a revised list of capital improvement projects and costs, land use growth projections in the geographic area covered by the fee, and revised trip generation rates. In addition, the City Council will consider an update to the Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines to conform to the proposed EDTIF revisions and other minor clarifications.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:Conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the Resolution Revising the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee for Future Development within the Eastern Dublin Area, Renaming the Program as the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, and Updating the Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:Fees collected are used to finance public infrastructure and improvements needed to mitigate the traffic-related impacts caused by development in eastern Dublin. The total estimated cost of the needed improvements is $206.5 million, and the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee has been calculated to collect $126 million based on projected new land uses in the eastern Dublin area. Grants and other funding sources will be sought, as needed, to meet the full funding needs of the projects.
DESCRIPTION:Background

Page 2 of 6
On January 9, 1995, the City Council adopted the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee (EDTIF) program (Resolution No. 1-95) with the purpose of generating funds to allow the City to implement certain important transportation investments planned in the eastern Dublin area, which generally covers the area from Dougherty Road to the easterly city limits.The program has been updated five times, most recently by City Council Resolution No. 40-10 on March 16, 2010. The funds generated by the program have been used to construct several improvements to transportation infrastructure in the affected area. Staff now recommends anupdate to the program to account for changes pursuant to the City’s most recent General Plan, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, the 2014 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and Complete Streets Policy, and more current information about proposed developments in the eastern Dublin area. The 2021 EDTIF Update (Exhibit B to the Resolution) also recommends that the fee program should be renamed to better reflect the program’s scope and intent. If approved, it will now be known as the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee (also abbreviated as EDTIF). The update process, as documented in the EDTIF Update, included updating the list of capital improvement projects to be included in the EDTIF program, the growth projections in the geographic area covered by the EDTIF, and the fee calculations. The report also describes the approach to establishing the fee nexus, or the relationship between the impacts of new development and the fees that could justifiably be charged to construct transportation improvements that mitigate the impacts of new development.Proposed EDTIF ProjectsThe projects on the updated EDTIF list are primarily intended to improve the operations of the roadway system in the eastern Dublin area for users of all modes of travel and have been identified to implement the City’s General Plan, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The projects involve elements such as adding travel lanes and turn lanes, adding or upgrading sidewalks, adding or modifying traffic signals, and extending or improving multi-use trails. The 2021 EDTIF Update provides the complete EDTIF project list. The previous EDTIF program classified the capital improvement projects included in the program as either Section I or Section II improvements and established a fee for each category. Section I improvements were those located inside the EDTIF area, while Section II improvements were located outside the area. This distinction is now being eliminated because the travel model is now used to allow the fee to be calculated based directly on the amount of eastern Dublin usage of each facility, regardless of the facility’s location. This change has implications for existing fee credits, which were issued as either Section I or Section II fee credits. To reflect this change, the Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines (Exhibit E to the Resolution) have been modified to eliminate the provision stating that Section I and Section II fee credits can only be used to offset fees in those same categories.Project Cost EstimatesFor the purposes of an impact fee, it is essential to have an estimate of the cost to implement each of the capital improvement projects on the list. Cost estimates were developed specifically for use in this study by Staff and its engineering consultant, Pakpour Consulting Group. The 2021 EDTIF Update provides the cost estimates for each project; the total cost of all projects included on the
419
Page 3 of 6
list is $206.5 million.Growth ProjectionsAn important element in quantifying the nexus relationship is to determine the amount of new development anticipated in the fee program area during the planning horizon of the study. The projected numbers of new residents and new jobs in the eastern Dublin area was taken from the City’s recently updated citywide travel demand model, which has a base year of 2020 and a horizon year of 2040. It is estimated that the number of jobs in the eastern Dublin area could increase by about 20,000 and the number of new housing units could increase by approximately 1,700 by the year 2040. Trip GenerationOnce the growth assumptions were established, the trip generation associated with those new land uses was analyzed. For the update of the EDTIF, evening (PM) peak hour trips are the focus. This is a change from the current application of the fee program, which uses daily trips as the basis for the fee calculations. It is standard practice to design transportation facilities to accommodate usage during the peak periods, and the PM peak is the period during which all of the land uses in the EDTIF area will be active, so it is the period that will best capture the full range of travel effects caused by the anticipated future development. The 2021 EDTIF Update documents the PM peak hour trips associated with new development in the eastern Dublin area; the total number of anticipated new PM peak hour trips is 12,136.EDTIF Project ResponsibilityAs described earlier, the City of Dublin travel model has recently been updated and reflects the City’s General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. That model was used to generate estimates of travel patterns and volumes in the future. A common modeling technique called a “select zone analysis” was applied to identify the amount of future traffic volume on each roadway link generated by land uses in the EDTIF area. On each model link that represents the location of an EDTIF project, the future traffic volume attributable to the EDTIF area was compared to the overall future traffic volume, thereby calculating the share of the usage of that link that can be attributed to the land uses in the EDTIF area. These usage percentages were used in the nexuscalculations. As described in the 2021 EDTIF Update, the EDTIF program is estimated to capture about 61% of the total project costs, or about $126 million, while other funding sources would be needed to cover the remainder. This means that about 61% of the usage of these facilities comes from residents and employees in the EDTIF area, while the remainder comes from travelers who use the facilities, but do not live or work in the EDTIF area. Fee CalculationBased on the elements described above, a new set of EDTIF fees was calculated. Starting from the amount of project costs eligible to be included in the EDTIF program (approximately $126 million), the analysts subtracted the current fund balance of approximately $13.6 million and added in the value of outstanding fee credits of approximately $54 million. The result was then divided by the number of new PM peak hour vehicle trips (12,136 trips) estimated to be generated by new development in the EDTIF area, and the result is a new fee per PM peak hour
420

trip of $13,751. The updated EDTIF fees per unit of development (e.g., per dwelling unit for residential uses or per square foot for commercial uses) are similar to or lower than the existing EDTIF fees. Table 1 below shows the updated fees in comparison to the current fees by land use category.

1. DU = Dwelling Unit; KSF = Thousand Square Feet.Fee ComponentsThere are three different transportation fee components charged within the eastern Dublin area. The basic EDTIF fee is the primary fee and is charged to new development of all types located in the eastern Dublin area to address the wide range of transportation improvements needed to support future development. In addition, there is a Freeway Interchange Fee to reimburse the City of Pleasanton for improvements previously constructed at the Hacienda Drive and TassajaraRoad interchanges along I-580. This fee was set in 1996 and has been indexed annually for inflation, a process that will continue unchanged under the updated EDTIF program. Finally, there is a BART Garage Fee that is charged to residential development outside the Dublin Transit Center to reimburse Alameda County for previous investments in the parking garage at the East Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. This fee has been re-calculated based on the balance remaining to be paid to Alameda County and the new residential growth projections in the area subject to the fee. To allocate the fees equitably among different development types, the fee amounts charged to each land use category should reflect the relative effects of each category on the transportation system. This is consistent with the approach used in the current fee program, which specifies different fee rates for different land use types. Table 2 below shows the three proposed/updated fee components by land use category.

Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative GuidelinesAdoption of the updated EDTIF results in the need to update the Consolidated Impact FeeAdministrative Guidelines (Exhibit E to the Resolution). The updated Guidelines incorporate various impact fee resolutions already adopted by the City Council, minor changes to the text to clarify the impact fee calculation process, and modifications reflecting the consolidation of the Section I and Section II EDTIF fees.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:A notice was placed in the East Bay Times on December 10, 2021 and December 16, 2021 notifying the community of the City Council’s consideration of the proposed fee revisions, EDTIFupdates, proposed revisions to the Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines, and that all the relevant materials are on file with the City Clerk for public review for a 10-day period prior to the City Council’s consideration of the fee increase. In addition, a letter was mailed out on December 6 to the City’s Interested Parties list which contained approximately 100 individuals and/or groups. The City Council Agenda was posted.

SECTION II – FINDINGS
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Dublin hereby finds as follows:
A.The purpose of Fee is to finance public improvements and facilities
needed to mitigate the transportation-related impacts caused by future development in
Eastern Dublin. The public improvements and facilities are listed in Table 1 of the 2021
Study Update and are hereafter defined and referred to as “Improvements.” The
Improvements are needed to accommodate new development projected in Eastern
Dublin and development in Eastern Dublin will pay its fair and proportional share of such
Improvements with the implementation of this Fee.
B.The Fees collected pursuant to this Resolution shall be used to
finance the Improvements.
C.After considering the Study, the Cost Report, the 1996 Study
Update, the 1996 Cost Estimate Update, the 1999 Study Update, the 2004 Update
Study, the 2009 Study Update, the 2010 Study Update, the 2021 Study Update,
Resolution No. 1-95, Resolution 41-96, Resolution 225-99, Resolution 111-04,
Resolution 41-09, Resolution 40-10, the Staff Report, the Plans, all EIRs and
428
6
Environmental Documents, all correspondence received and the testimony received at
the noticed public hearing held on December 21, 2021 (the “Record”), the City Council
reapproves and readopts the Study, as revised by the 1996 Study Update, the 1999
Study Update, the 2004 Update Study, the 2009 Study Update, the 2010 Study Update
and the 2021 Study Update, and the Cost Estimate Report, as revised by the 1996 Cost
Estimate, the 1999 Study Update, the 2004 Study Update, the 2009 Study Update, the
2010 Study Update, and the 2021 Study Update, and incorporates each herein, and
further finds that future development in Eastern Dublin will generate the need for the
Improvements and the Improvements are consistent with the Plans.
D.The adoption of the Fee is within the scope of the Environmental
Documents.
E.The Improvements were all identified in the Environmental
Documents as necessary to accommodate traffic from and/or to, to mitigate impacts of
development in Eastern Dublin. The impacts of such development, including the
Improvements, were adequately analyzed at a Program level in the Environmental
Documents. There are no changes proposed to the Improvements identified in the
Environmental Documents, or to the surrounding circumstances, as a result of this Fee,
and no other new information of substantial importance so as to require revisions to the
Environmental Documents. No specific development is authorized by the adoption of
this Fee. The adoption of the Fee is not a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no
potential for the Fee to have any significant effect on the environment. Specific
Improvements will be required to undergo the applicable environmental review when
sufficient physical details are available to permit meaningful CEQA review.
F.The record establishes:
1.That there continues to be a reasonable relationship
between the need for the Improvements and the impacts of the types of development
for which the corresponding Fee is charged in that new development in Eastern Dublin,
both residential and non-residential, will generate increased vehicular, bicycle, and
pedestrian traffic which contributes to the need for the Improvements; and
2.That there continues to be a reasonable relationship
between the Fee’s use (to pay for the construction and costs of the Improvements) and
the type of development for which the Fee is charged in that all development in Eastern
Dublin, both residential and non-residential, generates or contributes to the need for the
Improvements; and
3.That there continues to be a reasonable relationship
between the amount of the Fee and the cost of the Improvements or portion thereof
attributable to development in Eastern Dublin in that the Fee is calculated based on the
total number of net new PM peak hour trips projected to be generated by specific types
of land uses, the total cost to construct the Improvements, and the percentage by which
development within Eastern Dublin contributes to the need for the Improvements; and
429
7
4.That the cost estimates set forth in the Study, as revised by
the 1996 Study Update, the 1999 Study Update, the 2004 Study Update, the 2009
Study Update, the 2010 Study Update, and the 2021 Study Update, and the Cost
Estimate Report, as revised by the 1996 Cost Estimate, the 1999 Study Update, the
2004 Study Update, the 2009 Study Update, the 2010 Study Update, and the 2021
Study Update are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Improvements, and the
Fees expected to be generated by future development will not exceed the projected
costs of constructing the Improvements; and
5.That the method of allocation of the Fee to a particular
development, set forth in the Study, as revised in the 1996 Study Update, the 1999
Study Update, the 2004 Study Update, the 2009 Study Update, the 2010 Study Update,
and the 2021 Study Update bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each
development’s burden on, and benefit from, the Improvements to be funded by the Fee,
in that the Fee is calculated based on the total number of net new PM peak hour trips
each particular development will generate.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Dublin DOES RESOLVE as
follows:

building permit is issued for any such unit from and after the date the City
Council approves a Capital Improvement Program for the Improvements.
b. A Fee shall be charged and paid for non-residential buildings or structures
within Eastern Dublin at the time of issuance of the building permit for such
building or structure, except where the building or structure will require a later
stage of discretionary approval by the City before it can be occupied, in
which case, with the approval of the Public Works Director, the Fee for that
431
9
building or structure may be deferred for payment to the date the City makes
the last discretionary approval which is required prior to occupancy.
c. The Fee includes the Freeway Interchange Fee and the Residential BART
Garage Fee. The calculations of each fee component are described in the
2021 Study Update. The Residential BART Garage Fee (formerly known as
Section II Residential BART Parking Fee) and Freeway Interchange Fee are
separate fees but both, together with the Transportation Impact Fee, are
collectively referred to as the “Fee.”
4. Amount of Fee
a. The amount of the Fee shall be as set forth in the Eastern Dublin
Transportation Impact Fee Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C and
incorporated by reference.
b. For any non-residential buildings or structures not reflected in Exhibit C, the
Fee per unit shall be calculated as follows.
i. The Fee per unit shall be calculated by multiplying $13,751
(the Maximum Fee amount) by the PM Peak Hour Trip rate
for that specific land use category, as set forth in the ITE Trip
Generation Manual, 10th Edition. The Public Works Director
shall determine the applicable land use category.
ii. A pass-by percentage reduction may be applicable per the
guidance presented in ITE Trip Generation publications. The
Public Works Director shall have sole discretion in
determining whether to approve any pass-by percentage
reduction.
5. Minimum Cash Payment
The minimum cash payment for the Fee shall be 11% of the total Fee due.
Developers may utilize credits for the remainder of the Fee, if authorized by the
Administrative Guidelines.
6. Exemptions from Fee
In addition to exemptions authorized by the Administrative Guidelines, the
following types of development will be exempt from the Fee:
a.Non-Residential Replacement or Reconstruction: Any replacement or
reconstruction of an existing non-residential structure that has been
destroyed or demolished is exempt from payment of the Fee, provided that
the use of the new or reconstructed building would not increase the trips over
432
10
those from the existing non-residential structure, calculated as provided in
Exhibit C.
b. Non-Residential Replacement or Reconstruction (Partial Exemption): Any
replacement or reconstruction of an existing non-residential structure that
has been destroyed or demolished is entitled to a partial exemption from the
Fee if the use of the new or reconstructed building would increase the trips
over those from the existing non-residential structure calculated as provided
in Exhibit C.The partial exemption from the Fee shall be equal to the square
footage of the existing non-residential structure that was destroyed or
demolished multiplied by the number of trips shown on Exhibit C for its
previous use, which total is then subtracted as a “Partial Fee Exemption”
from the fees owed based on the use and square footage of the new or
reconstructed building as provided in Exhibit C.The new development shall
not accrue any credit or reimbursement rights in the event that the fee for the
new or reconstructed building is less than the “Partial Fee Exemption” as
calculated above.
c. Non-Residential Additions More Than 500 Square Feet (Partial Exemption:
Any addition of 500 square feet or more to an existing non-residential building
or structure is entitled to a partial exemption from payment of the Fee. The
partial exemption from the Fee shall be equal to the square footage of the
existing non-residential building or structure calculated as provided in Exhibit
C.
7. Use of Revenues
a. The revenues raised by payment of the Fee shall continue to be placed in
the Traffic Impact Fee Fund, which will henceforth be known as the Eastern
Dublin Transportation Impact Fee Fund (“Fund”). The revenues (and interest)
shall be used for the following purposes:
i. To pay for design, engineering, right-of-way acquisition and
constructions of the Improvements and reasonable costs of
outside consultant studies related thereto;
ii. To reimburse the City for Improvements constructed by the
City with funds from other sources including funds from other
public entities, unless the City funds were obtained from
grants or gifts intended by the grantor to be used for traffic
improvements;
iii. To reimburse developers and/or public agencies who have
constructed Improvements; and
iv. To pay for and/or reimburse costs of program development
and ongoing administration of the Fee program.
433
11
b. Fees in these Fund accounts shall be expended only for the Improvements
and only for the purpose for which the Fee was collected.
8. Standards
The standards upon which the needs for the Improvements are based are the
standards of the City of Dublin, including the standards contained in the Plans, and the
Environmental Documents.
9. No Existing Deficiencies
The City Council determines that there are no existing deficiencies within Eastern
Dublin and that the need for the Improvements in the 2021 Study Update is generated
entirely by new development within Eastern Dublin, and, therefore, the 2021 Study
Update has determined the proportionate share of the cost of the Improvements for
which development within Eastern Dublin is responsible.
10.Periodic Review
a. During each fiscal year, the City Manager shall continue to prepare a report
for the City Council, pursuant to Government Code Section 66006.
b. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66002, the City Council shall also
review, as part of any adopted Capital Improvement Program each year, the
approximate location, size, time of availability and estimates of cost for all
Improvements to be financed with the Fee. The estimated costs shall be
adjusted in accordance with appropriate indices of inflation. The City Council
shall make findings identifying the purpose to which the existing Fee
balances are to be put and demonstrating a reasonable relationship between
the Fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
11.Subsequent Analysis of the Fee
The Fee established herein is adopted and implemented by the City Council in
reliance on the Record identified above. The City will continue to conduct further study
and analysis to determine whether the Fee should be revised. When additional
information is available, the City Council shall review the Fee to determine that the
amounts are reasonably related to the impacts of development within Eastern Dublin.
The City Council may revise the Fee to incorporate the findings and conclusions of
further studies and any standards in the Plans, as well as increases due to construction
costs and land values. The City will evaluate land values through an appraisal
approximately every three (3) years, as determined by the Public Works Director.
12.Automatic Increases in Fee
The purpose of this section is to provide for an automatic annual adjustment to
the Fee in years when the City Council does not revise the Fee pursuant to Section 11
434
12
above. The City Manager shall adjust the Fee automatically, effective July 1, 2022, and
each July 1 thereafter, as follows:
a. The costs of construction of the Improvements (which account for 80% of the
improvement cost) shall be increased/decreased each July 1st by the annual
percentage increase/decrease in the Engineering News Record's
Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area for the preceding
month of December over the same Construction Cost Index for the month of
December of the prior year. The City Manager may round the Fee
adjustment to whole dollars.
b. The Land Cost per acre for the Improvements shall be increased/decreased
annually by the percentage increase/decrease between the land cost per
acre in the most recent land appraisal (prepared for the City for purposes of
adjusting the Fee) over the land cost per acre in the immediately preceding
appraisal (prepared for the City for purposes of adjusting the Fee and using
the same methodology), calculated as an annual increase/decrease. For
example, if the appraised land value in Year One is $10/acre and in Year
Two is $11/acre, that is an annual increase of 10% which will result in a
yearly increase of 10%, until the Fee is revised by the Council pursuant to
Section 11 above. The City Manager may round the Fee adjustment to whole
dollars. The “land” comprises 20% of the improvement costs financed by the
fees.
13.Area of Benefit Fee
A portion of the Fee shall also be deemed to be an Area of Benefit Fee adopted
pursuant to Dublin Municipal Code Section 9.16.090. This is the portion of the Fee
designated for the construction of those Improvements that are major thoroughfares and
bridges. These Improvements and the estimated cost of such improvements are listed
on Exhibit D attached hereto. The “Area of Benefit” is Eastern Dublin as defined herein.
The fee shall be apportioned over the Area of Benefit in the same manner set forth in
Section 4 of this Resolution and in the Study, 1996 Study Update, the 1999 Study
Update, the 2004 Study Update, and the 2009 Study Update, with the amount to be
assessed for residential and non-residential as shown on Exhibit D. The Area of Benefit
Fee shall be deposited into the Fund into separate accounts established for each of the
improvements identified in Exhibit D.
14.Administrative Guidelines
The City Council hereby adopts the revised Consolidated Impact Fee
Administrative Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit E.
15.Effective Date
435
13
This Resolution shall become effective immediately. The alterations to the Fee
provided in this Resolution shall be effective 60 days from the effective date of the
Resolution and shall supersede the Fee established by Resolution No. 40-10. The Area
of Benefit Fee established in Section 13 of this Resolution shall be effective only if the
Fee provided in Sections 3 and 4 hereof is declared invalid for any reason.
16.Severability
Each component of the Fee, including the Freeway Interchange Fee and the
Residential BART Garage Fee, and each and every improvement financed by the Fee
or any of the component fees, and all portions of this Resolution are severable. Should
any individual component fee of the Fee or other provision of this Resolution be
adjudged to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be and
continue to be fully effective, and the Fee shall be fully effective except as to that portion
that has been judged to be invalid.

Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee Update, Final Report

1. INTRODUCTION
On January 9, 1995, the Dublin City Council adopted (by Resolution #1-95) an Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact
Fee program, intended to generate funds to allow the City of Dublin to implement a number of important
transportation investments planned in the eastern Dublin area, which generally covers the area from
Dougherty Road to the easterly city limits (see Figure 1 for the boundaries of the Eastern Dublin Traffic
Impact Fee program). The program has been updated several times, most recently by Council Resolution
#40-10 on March 16, 2010. The funds generated have been used to construct several improvements to
transportation infrastructure in the affected area.
The City now wishes to update the program to account for changes pursuant to the City’s most recent
General Plan, the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, adoption of the 2014 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and
Complete Streets Policy, and more current information about proposed developments in the eastern Dublin
area. The City also determined the fee program should be renamed to better reflect the program’s scope
and intent; it will now be known as the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee (EDTIF). This report
includes updating the list of capital improvement projects, the growth projections in the geographic area
covered by the EDTIF, and the fee calculations. This report describes each of these steps and the approach
to establishing the “nexus” or relationship between the impacts of new development in the EDTIF area and
the fees that could justifiably be charged to construct transportation improvements to serve
new development.
Impact fees are established under a state law known as AB 1600, the Mitigation Fee Act. Fees charged
pursuant to this legislation are used to build capital facilities needed to serve the demands generated by
new development. Fees are not used to correct existing deficiencies, but rather are intended to address
future needs. There must be a demonstrated relationship, or “nexus,” between the amount of the fee, the
cost of the facilities, and the types of development on which the fee is imposed. This report presents the
information needed to demonstrate those relationships and is commonly called a nexus study.

2. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
City staff provided an updated list of capital improvement projects in the area covered by the EDTIF
program. Most of these projects are continuations of capital improvements that have already been part of
the EDTIF program; in some cases, the components of a project have been updated to reflect the most
recent information about development patterns in the area as well as the policy direction set in the City’s
General Plan and other planning documents. Overall, the purpose of the projects remains the same as when
the EDTIF was first adopted. These projects are intended to accommodate travelers more efficiently through
adding travel lanes and turn lanes, as well as adding or upgrading sidewalks, and adding or modifying traffic
signals. For reference, the projects that have historically been included in the current EDTIF program are
shown in Appendix A, along with the current status of each project and whether it is being carried forward
into the updated EDTIF. Table 1 displays the updated EDTIF project list, and the project locations are shown
in Figure 1.
COST ESTIMATES
For the purposes of the EDTIF, it is necessary to have an estimate of the cost to implement each of the
capital improvement projects on the EDTIF project list. Cost estimates were developed for the EDTIF
projects by the City. For the three interchange projects, the cost estimates were taken from a prior EDTIF
analysis in 2010 and were escalated to 2021 dollars using cost escalation factors approved by the City.
Consideration was given to whether right-of-way would need to be acquired as part of each project.
Consistent with the practice typically used in the EDTIF, in cases where there is a fronting developer who
would be required to dedicate right-of-way, no acquisition cost was included in the cost estimate. The
estimated cost of each project is shown on Table 1.
More detailed information about the capital improvement projects is provided in Appendix B, including a
conceptual layout of each project and documentation of the cost estimates described above. Please note
that the conceptual layouts shown in the appendix are for illustrative purposes; details of each project may
change as more refined design work is completed.

3. GROWTH PROJECTIONS
LAND USE GROWTH
An important step in quantifying the nexus relationship is to determine the amount of new development
anticipated in the planning horizon of the study, which is the year 2040. The City has recently completed
an update of the City’s travel demand model, including updates of the current and future land use
throughout the City. The base year of the model is now 2020 and the horizon year is 2040, and the model’s
land use inputs reflect the City’s General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. See Appendix C for a
map showing the Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) from the City model that represent the EDTIF area, as well
as a table showing the amount of existing and expected future development in the area. As shown in the
appendix materials, a substantial amount of new development is anticipated; the number of jobs in this area
could increase by about 20,000 (more than double when compared to current conditions), and the number
of housing units could increase by approximately 1,700 (a 15% increase from base year to future year).
It is also important to note that, as shown in Figure C-1 in Appendix C, the boundary of the EDTIF area is
undergoing a minor change. As had been intended when the Boulevard project (then Dublin Crossing) was
approved in 2013, the small parcel in the northwest quadrant of the Dublin Boulevard/Arnold Road
intersection is now a part of the Boulevard development and will no longer be part of the EDTIF area.
TRIP GENERATION
Once the land use assumptions were established, the trip generation associated with those land uses was
calculated. As a first step, the employment numbers applied in the City of Dublin travel model were
converted into building square footages, since the fees for non-residential uses will typically be applied on
the basis of building area. Consideration was also given to whether it might be appropriate to apply any
trip reduction factors to account for mixed-use development, particularly in areas that are well-served by
high-frequency transit. The EDTIF area does contain the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, which is located
at the western edge of the EDTIF area. The Dublin Transit Center development is the only portion of the
new development anticipated in the EDTIF area that will be within easy walking distance of the BART station.
To estimate the vehicular trip generation of the new development for all areas except the Dublin Transit
Center, the average rates presented in the ITE Trip Generation manual (10th Edition) were applied to the
relevant land use categories. For the Dublin Transit Center, Fehr and Peers’ MXD+ tool was applied to
estimate the trip generation. This tool was selected because the traditional ITE Trip Generation
447
Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee Update, Final Report

methodologies are primarily based on data collected at single-use, freestanding sites located in suburban
areas with very little accessibility by transit, bicycling, or walking. These defining characteristics limit the
data’s applicability to mixed-use or multi-use development projects in more pedestrian-friendly and transit-
accessible places, such as the Dublin Transit Center.
The development of the MXD+ technique began in response to the limitations in the ITE Trip Generation
methodology. With the goal of providing a straightforward and empirically validated method of estimating
vehicle trip generation at mixed-use developments, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
sponsored a national study of the trip generation characteristics of mixed-use sites. Travel survey data was
gathered from 239 mixed-use developments (called MXDs) in six major metropolitan regions and correlated
with the characteristics of the sites and their surroundings. The findings indicated that the amount of traffic
generated by each site is affected by a wide variety of factors including the mix of jobs and residents at the
site, the overall size and density of the development, the availability of convenient internal connections for
walking or driving between nearby uses, the availability of transit service to the site, and the surrounding
trip destinations within the immediate area. None of these factors is explicitly accounted for in the
traditional application of the ITE Trip Generation manual method.
As part of the study, these characteristics were related statistically to trip behavior observed at the
development sites using statistical techniques. These statistical relationships produced equations, known as
the EPA MXD model, that predict how the trip generation from a particular mixed-use site would be reduced
as compared to the traditional ITE methods. Applying these vehicle trip reduction percentages to the “raw
trips” predicted by the ITE methods produces an estimate for the number of vehicle trips traveling in or out
of a site. Table 2 shows the results of the trip generation estimation for the new development in the EDTIF
area, including the trip reduction estimated for the Dublin Transit Center (DTC) as a result of the application
of the MXD+ tool.

Note that PM peak hour trips are the focus of this EDTIF study. This is a change from the current application
of the fee program, which uses daily trips as the basis for the fee calculations. Most transportation facilities
are designed to accommodate usage during peak periods, and the PM peak is the time period during which
all of the land uses in the EDTIF area will be active, so it is the time period that will best capture the full
range of travel effects caused by the anticipated future development.
For the purposes of the EDTIF program, which focuses on the impacts of new development, the most
important piece of information is the estimated growth in trips between existing and future conditions. As
shown in Table 2, the total number of net new PM peak hour trips will be used to calculate the EDTIF fee
per new peak hour trip.

4. NEXUS ANALYSIS
EXISTING DEFICIENCIES
An important part of a nexus analysis is to establish whether the transportation facilities that will be
addressed by the projects in the fee program are currently deficient. If there are existing deficiencies at any
of those locations, then an adjustment should be made in the fee calculations to ensure new development
pays its fair share and is not being charged to correct an existing problem.
The most recent study that comprehensively addresses the Eastern Dublin area is the transportation impact
analysis conducted for the Dublin Kaiser Medical Center. The Dublin Kaiser study collected traffic count data
and analyzed 22 intersections throughout the Eastern Dublin area located on or near one of the capital
improvement projects proposed as part of the EDTIF. The City of Dublin uses vehicle Level of Service (LOS)
as a performance measure, with a standard of LOS D or better at all intersections outside of the downtown
area. Table 3 summarizes the current operations at the 22 intersections analyzed in the Dublin Kaiser study.
(For reference, the Level of Service criteria for signalized intersections from the 2000 Highway Capacity
Manual is included in Appendix D.) As shown, all of the intersections are reported as operating at LOS D
or better in both the AM and PM peak hours; this level of operation meets the City’s standards, thus
indicating these locations are not currently deficient. Because there are no existing deficiencies, it is
reasonable to carry forward all of the cost of the future improvements into the next stage of the
fee calculations.

EDTIF PROJECT COST RESPONSIBILITY
As described earlier, the land use projections for the year 2040 were used in the Dublin travel demand
model (Model)and the Model was applied to generate estimates of travel patterns and volumes in the
future. A common modeling technique called a select zone analysis was applied within the Model to identify
the amount of future traffic volume on each roadway link that is generated by land uses in the EDTIF area.
On each Model link that represents the location of an EDTIF project, the future traffic volume attributable
to the EDTIF area was compared to the overall future traffic volume, thereby calculating the share of the
usage of that link that can be attributed to the land uses in the EDTIF area. These usage percentages are
shown in Table 4.
One project (Project L, the Altamirano Avenue Class I Trail) involves an extension of an off-street trail, which
is a type of project that cannot be reflected in the Model so the usage percentage must be calculated
differently. This project will serve bicycle and pedestrian travel as an extension of current bicycle/pedestrian
facilities and will provide non-vehicular travel options both to existing and new residents and workers. The
percentage of the project cost to be included in the EDTIF program has thus been calculated as the
proportion of future population and employment added by the new development that will be subject to
the fee. As calculated from the data presented in Table C-1 in Appendix C, the sum of the additional
households plus employment expected in the EDTIF area (1,735 households plus 20,423 jobs) will constitute
452
Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee Update, Final Report
December 2021
12
about 47% of the total future households plus employment in the Eastern Dublin area, so the usage
percentage for this project has been set at 47%.
The percentages described above were applied to the cost of each EDTIF infrastructure project, and the
resulting amount represents the portion of the cost of each project that will be included in the EDTIF
program. As shown in Table 4, the EDTIF program would capture about 61% of the total project costs, while
other funding sources (such as grants, County Measure BB funds, or other sources) would be needed to
cover the remainder. This means that about 61% of the usage of these facilities comes from current and
future residents and employees in the EDTIF area, while the remainder comes from travelers who use these
facilities, but do not live or work in the EDTIF area.
It should be noted that the previous EDTIF classified the capital improvement projects as Section I or Section
II improvements and established a fee for each category. Section I improvements were those located inside
the EDTIF area, while Section II improvements were located outside the area. Because of the application of
the select zone modeling technique described above and its ability to capture Eastern Dublin’s share of
usage on any facility regardless of the facility’s location, it is no longer necessary to make that distinction.
The Model results show the percentage of usage on each facility coming from the land uses in the EDTIF
area, thereby allowing for the fee to be calculated based directly on the amount of EDTIF usage of each
facility, regardless of the facility’s location. The distinction is being eliminated. This change has implications
for existing fee credits, which were issued as either Section I or Section II fee credits. Simultaneously with
the EDTIF update, the City intends to update its Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines to
eliminate the provision stating that Section I and Section II fee credits can only be used to offset fees in
those same categories.

FEE CALCULATIONS
There are three different transportation fee components charged within the Eastern Dublin area. The basic
EDTIF fee is the primary fee program and is charged to new development of all types located in the Eastern
Dublin area to address the wide range of transportation improvements needed to support future
development in the area as described above. In addition, there is a Freeway Interchange Fee that is focused
on reimbursing the City of Pleasanton for improvements previously constructed at two interchanges along
I-580, and there is a BART Garage Fee that is charged only in a portion of the Eastern Dublin area for the
purpose of reimbursing Alameda County for previous investments in the parking garage at the East
Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. The calculations of each fee component are described below.

EDTIF FEE CALCULATIONS
The calculation of the basic EDTIF fee was completed based on the figures described above. Starting from
the approximately $126 million of project costs eligible to be included in the EDTIF program, we add the
outstanding fee credits currently carried by the EDTIF program and subtract the current (as of June 30, 2021)
EDTIF fund balance, and the result is divided by the number of net new PM peak hour vehicle trips estimated
to be generated by new development in the EDTIF area. Table 5 shows the results of the calculation.

It is important to note that the fee calculation shown in Table 5 is intended to represent the maximum fee
that could be charged to support the list of projects shown above.
The fees would be charged to new development of all types located in the geographic area covered by the
EDTIF. In order to allocate the fees equitably among different development types, the fee amounts charged
to each land use category should reflect the relative effects of each category on the transportation system.
This is consistent with the approach used in the current fee program, which specifies different fee rates for
different land use types. Using the maximum fee per new PM peak hour trip calculated in Table 5 above as
a basis, the number of PM peak hour trips associated with a representative sample of land use categories
has been estimated and the associated fee amount calculated. Table 6 shows the results of those
calculations for several typical land use categories, along with an informational comparison of the updated
fees to the fee rates currently charged through the existing EDTIF program. It should be remembered that
the existing EDTIF program assesses a project’s fees based on its daily trips whereas the updated EDTIF is
going to assess fees based on PM peak hour trips. Updated EDTIF fee calculations for a wider range of land
use categories are shown in Appendix E.

FREEWAY INTERCHANGE FEE CALCULATIONS
The Freeway Interchange Fee is applied to new development within the Eastern Dublin area as a mechanism
for reimbursing the City of Pleasanton for the costs of making improvements to the interchanges on
Interstate 580 at Hacienda Drive and at Tassajara Road/Santa Rita Road that benefit development in both
Pleasanton and Eastern Dublin. Pleasanton already constructed improvements at those two interchanges at
the time the Freeway Interchange Fee was created; the fee is a mechanism to allow development in East
Dublin to pay a proportional share of those costs.
The Freeway Interchange Fee was set at $21.46 per daily trip per Resolution No. 11-96, Exhibit C. The
agreement between Dublin and Pleasanton regarding transfer of fee revenues provided that the fee would
be automatically escalated each year, beginning with a base year of 1998 (the year of the revenue transfer
agreement between the two cities). The escalation index selected at that time was the Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF) interest rate, and that rate has been applied consistently by the City’s Finance
Department ever since. As of September 1, 2021, the current Freeway Interchange Fee per new daily trip is
$36.15 per daily trip. Note that this fee continues to be assessed per daily trip, whereas the updated EDTIF
is going to be assessed per PM peak hour trip for reasons described previously.
As of the end of FY21, the current balance remaining to be collected and transferred to Pleasanton is
$2,711,538. The Freeway Interchange Fee will continue to be collected until the outstanding balance is paid
off.
RESIDENTIAL BART GARAGE FEE CALCULATIONS
The Residential BART Garage Fee is a contribution toward additional parking spaces constructed at the East
Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station by the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority (ACSPA) and BART. Per
the terms of the agreement between Dublin and the ACSPA, the ACSPA is to receive a cumulative total of
$6 million in fees; as of the end of FY21, there was a remaining balance of $1.127 million yet to be collected.
The fees are collected only on residential development located outside the Dublin Transit Center area.
The Residential BART Garage Fee component is calculated as follows:
• Estimate the portion of future residential development in the EDTIF area that is outside the Transit
Center and thus would be subject to the fee. This has been calculated as 1,735 total new dwelling
units in the overall EDTIF area minus 464 units anticipated within the Transit Center area, for a
remainder of 1,271 new dwelling units that will be subject to the Residential BART Garage Fee.
• Divide the remaining $1.127 million due to the ACSPA by the 1,271 new residential units subject
to the fee, for a resulting fee of $887 per dwelling unit.

5. SUMMARY OF REQUIRED PROGRAM ELEMENTS
This report has provided a detailed discussion of the elements of the updated Eastern Dublin Transportation
Impact Fee program and explained the analytical techniques used to develop this nexus study. The report
addresses all of the fee program elements required by AB 1600, as summarized below.
1. Identifying the purpose of the fee
The Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee (EDTIF) program has been in place for more than 20 years.
Consistent with the provisions of the City’s General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan, the purpose
of the EDTIF program is to support public improvements and facilities needed to mitigate the traffic-related
impacts of new development in eastern Dublin.
2. Identifying how the fee will be used and the facilities to be funded through the fee
The fee will be used to help fund capital improvement projects that will accommodate future transportation
needs in eastern Dublin. Table 1 identifies the projects to be funded through the fee.
3. Determining a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development on which
the fee is imposed
As described in this report, different types of development generate traffic with different characteristics.
The fee amounts presented in Table 6 account for these different characteristics by applying different per-
unit fee factors to each type of development. These considerations account for the differential impacts on
the local transportation system generated by different development types.
4. Determining a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of
development on which the fee is imposed
The need for the facilities listed in Table 1 has been established through the prior EDTIF nexus studies, as
well as through planning studies sponsored by the City over the last several years, as described in Section
2 of this report. Table 4 shows that there are no existing deficiencies on the facilities included in this EDTIF
program, indicating that the need for improvements is not caused by existing development.
5. Determining a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public
facility (or portion of facility) attributable to new development
Section 4 of this report describes the calculations applied to determine the cost of the public facility that is
attributable to new development; this process accounts for the effects of existing deficiencies (of which
461
Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee Update, Final Report
December 2021
21
there are none in this program) and the effects of traffic generated from outside the EDTIF area. Thus, a
reasonable effort has been made to quantitatively establish the relationship between the fees charged in
the EDTIF program and the costs of public improvements attributable to new development within the
EDTIF area.

LEVEL OF SERVICE CRITERIA
553
TABLE D-1: SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION LOS CRITERIA
Level of Service Description Delay in Seconds
A
Progression is extremely favorable and most vehicles arrive
during the green phase. Most vehicles do not stop at all.
Short cycle lengths may also contribute to low delay.
< 10.0
B
Progression is good, cycle lengths are short, or both. More
vehicles stop than with LOS A, causing higher levels of
average delay.
> 10.0 to 20.0
C
Higher congestion may result from fair progression, longer
cycle lengths, or both. Individual cycle failures may begin to
appear at this level, though many still pass through the
intersection without stopping.
> 20.0 to 35.0
D
The influence of congestion becomes more noticeable.
Longer delays may result from some combination of
unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, or high V/C
ratios. Many vehicles stop, and the proportion of vehicles
not stopping declines. Individual cycle failures are
noticeable.
> 35.0 to 55.0
E
This level is considered by many agencies to be the limit of
acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate
poor progression, long cycle lengths, and high V/C ratios.
Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences.
> 55.0 to 80.0
F
This level is considered unacceptable with oversaturation,
which is when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the
intersection. This level may also occur at high V/C ratios
below 1.0 with many individual cycle failures. Poor
progression and long cycle lengths may also be contributing
factors to such delay levels.
> 80.0

City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 1
CITY OF DUBLIN CONSOLIDATED IMPACT FEE
ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES
I. Introduction/Overview
These guidelines apply to the Western Dublin Transportation (formerly known as the Downtown
Traffic) Impact Fees (adopted by the City Council of the City of Dublin through Resolution 210-
04 and as subsequently amended), the Eastern Dublin Transportation (formerly known as the
Eastern Dublin Traffic) Impact Fees (adopted by the City Council of the City of Dublin through
Resolution 1-95 and as subsequently amended), the Public Facilities Fees (adopted by the City
Council of the City of Dublin through Resolution 32-96 and as subsequently amended), the Fire
Facilities Fees (adopted by the City Council of the City of Dublin through Resolution 37-97 and
as subsequently amended), the Noise Mitigation Fee (adopted by the City Council of the City of
Dublin through Resolution 33-96 and as subsequently amended), and the Non-residential
Development Affordable Housing Impact Fee (adopted by the City Council of the City of Dublin
through Resolution 70-05 and as subsequently amended) which fees are, unless otherwise
provided, hereinafter referred to as the "Fee" or "Fees." Except as otherwise provided herein,
terms used in these guidelines shall be defined in the same manner as such terms are defined in
the Resolution.
The application of these guidelines will, at times, refer to various reference documents adopted by
the City of Dublin. These documents include the City's General Plan, Specific Plans, and the most
recent Impact Fee Studies. Such reference documents are subject to change and may affect the
application of these guidelines.
II. Authority of City Manager to Interpret Situations Not Covered
Should situations arise not covered by these guidelines, the City Manager will have the authority
to determine how the resolutions, ordinances, guidelines and agreements will be administered.
Such interpretations by the City Manager will be in writing, and the City Manager’s
determination will be final and not appealable.
561
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 2
III. Fee Administration
A. Responsible Departments
The Administrative Services Department serves as the lead department to gather and coordinate
the information necessary to calculate the Fee. The Community Development Department is
responsible for determining the intended land use. The Public Works Department is responsible
for determining the number of vehicle trips assigned to the project.
B. Effective Fees
The Fee will be collected at the filing of final map and/or at the issuance of building permit for
the development project, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Fee Resolution, or developer
enters into a fee deferral agreement with the City. This section shall be applicable whether the
fees are paid in cash or a credit is used.
C. Basis for Calculating Fees for Projects not Covered in Fee Resolutions
The Fees for projects will be calculated as provided for in the Fee Resolutions. However, in
certain circumstances, the applicable resolutions may not appropriately reflect or apply to a
particular project. Examples of this situation could include, but not be limited to mixed use
projects or projects that involve land uses that are not included in the Resolution. In those
situations, the guidelines presented in this section will be applied.
For non-residential development projects in which the land use is not included in the definitions
contained in the applicable Fee Resolution, the Community Development Director will determine
which of the defined categories is appropriate, maintaining as much consistency as possible with
the definition of such terms.
For mixed-use development projects in all fee programs other than the Western Dublin
Transportation Impact Fee, the Community Development Director will determine the projected
percentage of each of the uses at the time the Final Map, other appropriate entitlement, or
building permit is approved. The Fee will be calculated on a pro-rata basis for each different use.
If the project contains both residential and non-residential portions, the Fee will be based upon
the residential per dwelling unit fee schedule for the residential portion and the non-residential
per square foot schedule for the non-residential portion. (Note that the Western Dublin
Transportation Impact Fee directly addresses the effects of mixed-use development.)
562
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 3
If the use(s) are unknown at the time of obtaining a building permit and the building permit does
not include adequate interior details to determine the intended use, the use for the initial fee
calculation purposes will be determined by the Community Development Director. Any Fee
discrepancy as a result of a different final use of the property will be calculated and reconciled at
the time that a building permit is issued for interior tenant improvements. Such reconciliation
may result in an additional Fee or a partial refund of previously paid Fee(s). This fee calculation
shall be at the rate in effect at the issuance of building permit.
Quasi-public uses (churches, non-profit organizations, etc.) shall be subject to the Fees. For these
uses, the Community Development Director will determine which of the categories most
appropriately reflects the land use and allocate the project to this category. Affordable housing
projects developed by government agencies and/or non-profit entities will be subject to the same
Fees that are assessed on private residential development.
Where the Fee in question is calculated based on trips generated, the Fee Schedule of the
applicable Approving Resolution for the Fee will define appropriate trip rates to be used for the
calculation of the Fees. If an applicant disagrees with the Fee calculated based on trips generated
by the proposed project per respective Fee program, including but not limited to quasi-public
uses, applicant may make a written request to the Public Works Director, requesting that the City
undertake a specific traffic study for the purpose of determining the estimated trip generation of
the proposed development project. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with
the study.
If the Public Works Director determines that the land use of the proposed development project is
not appropriately reflected in the Fee Schedule to the Resolution or that the intensity of the
proposed land use is not consistent with the adopted land use categories in the Fee Schedule to
the Resolution, the Public Works Director will have the option of requiring a traffic analysis or
utilizing an existing relevant study for the purpose of determining the estimated trip generation of
the proposed development project. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with
the study.
563
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 4
IV. Payment Records
The Administrative Services Department will record the payment of the Fees. Records will be
maintained to comply with refunding requirements as prescribed by State Law. The
Administrative Services Department will obtain a mailing address from each payor, as well as the
applicable Assessor’s Parcel Number, and will note the payor as the entity or person whose name
appears as the applicant for the building permit. The Administrative Services Department will
maintain the records for a period of ten years from their collection, unless a legal mandate exists
for a longer retention.
V. Other Miscellaneous Administrative Guidelines
A. Refunds
Refunds of Fees associated with withdrawn applications or projects on which construction has not
commenced, will be done in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Dublin Municipal
Code Section 7.28.450.
If, pursuant to said procedures for paid building permits, a refund is no longer available, and if,
within 10 years of the original payment of the Fees, new building permits are issued for a project
on the subject property, the developer of the new project shall be required to pay only the
difference between the amount of the Fees that were originally paid, and the amount of the Fees
in effect at the time of issuance of building permits for the new project. This calculation of the
difference in Fee amounts shall be done on a Fee by Fee basis. Thus, if any one Fee is reduced or
eliminated between the time of the original payment and the issuance of building permits for the
new project, the original payment amount for that reduced or eliminated Fee shall not be included
in the calculation of the amount owed for the other Fees.
B. Annual Review of Fee Collection
The City has existing procedures for complying with State Law in regards to accounting for
developer Fees. The Administrative Services Department will maintain records to provide the
following items:
A brief description of the Fee;
An identification of the improvements and the percentage of cost of the improvements
which the Fee will be expended upon; and
564
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 5
For improvements which are funded and yet to be completed, an identification of an
expected date by which construction of the facilities will commence.
C. Funds and Accounting
The City will incorporate the following items into its accounting procedures, which are the
responsibility of the Administrative Services Department:
The City will maintain a separate fund for the collection and expenditure of Fees.
The City will allocate interest to Fees collected in the fund based upon month end cash
balances.
The City will identify, in accordance with State Law, the beginning and ending balance
of the funds held for the Fee as of fiscal year end.
The City will identify the amount of Fees collected and interest earned in each fiscal year
for Fees.
The City will provide a description and accounting of any inter-fund transfers made by
the Fee Fund.
The City will calculate reimbursements annually within 180 days of each fiscal year end.
The City will file an annual accounting of all development impact fees with the City
Council and for public inspection within 180 days of each fiscal year end.
D. Exemptions
1. Total Exemption. The following types of development will be exempt from the collection of
Fees:
a) Any alteration or addition to a residential structure, except to the extent that a residential
unit (e.g., second dwelling unit) is added to a single-family unit, or another unit is added
to an existing multi-family building.
b) Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing single-family residential structure that
has been destroyed or demolished. This exception shall not apply to the extent that the
replacement or reconstruction includes the addition of a residential unit (e.g., second
dwelling unit).
c) Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing multi-family residential structure
without changing the use type as a residential structure that is not part of a mixed used
development and that has been destroyed or demolished. This exception shall not apply to
the extent that the replacement or reconstruction increases the number of residential units
565
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 6
on the property.
d) Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee only. Some of the retail uses within the
Eastern Dublin Transit Center and the Fairway Ranch High-Density Residential
Development may be considered ancillary to the adjoining residential uses and therefore
may not generate outside vehicle trips. The Public Works Director shall provide the final
determination of land uses that could be considered ancillary. If a land use is found to be
not completely ancillary, an appropriate fee per trip will be charged in accordance with
the provisions of these guidelines.
e) The City Council, in its sole discretion, may waive the applicability of the Fee to certain
development constructed or to be constructed by a public entity on land having an
appropriate General Plan land use designation upon findings of the City Council that such
a waiver is in the interest of the public health, safety, and/or welfare, for reasons specified
in the findings.
f) Any alteration or addition to a non-residential building or structure resulting in a net
increase of no more than 500 square feet.
g) Any Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) that is less than 750 square feet in size per the
requirements of Assembly Bill 345.
2. Partial Exemption – Applicable only to Western Dublin and Eastern Dublin TIF
A partial exemption may be granted based on prior Fees paid as follows:
If after paying the Fees for a specific development project, the project is demolished and replaced
by a new type of development, an exemption may be given for up to the amount which was paid
by the prior development project. In the event that the replacement project would result in a lower
Fee, the new development shall not accrue any unused credit or reimbursement rights. Any
change in use outside of the establishment of the Fee program shall be obligated to pay the entire
Fee except to the extent that another exemption applies. Any Transportation Impact Fees will be
calculated using the procedures outlined in these Guidelines.
E. Administrative Fees
Developers will pay the City administrative fees, provided the fees are established in the City's
Master Fee Schedule, to cover the costs associated with:
The establishment of the credit/reimbursement agreement
Credit transfers
566
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 7
Annual credit/Right to Reimbursement maintenance and monitoring.
VI. Developer Fee Credits
This section applies only to the Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, Eastern Dublin
Transportation Impact Fee, Public Facilities Fee, Fire Facilities Fee, Non-residential Affordable
Housing Impact Fee and the definitions contained in the Resolutions establishing and amending
said Fees shall apply. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the "Fee" or "Fees" in this
section shall mean only the Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, Eastern Dublin
Transportation Impact Fee, Public Facilities Fee, Fire Facilities Fee, and Non-residential
Affordable Housing Impact Fee.
A. General
This section establishes the authority for providing credits and/or reimbursement to developers
who construct and/or dedicate any of the improvements and facilities for which the Fees are
imposed. When such public improvements and facilities are constructed and/or dedicated by a
developer, the developer shall be given a credit when appropriate to be applied against the Fees
due for the development project. The amount of the credit shall be determined pursuant to these
guidelines. If the amount of the credit is greater than the Fees due for the development project,
the developer may, subject to the restrictions described herein, use the credit toward the Fees for
another development project or transfer the credit to another eligible developer in accordance
with these guidelines. If the developer cannot use or transfer the credit within ten years, then the
credit will convert to a reimbursement right unless the developer first extends the credits as
provided for in Section VI.G of these Guidelines.
B. Fee Credit/Reimbursement Agreement Required
The allotment of fee credits and/or provision for a reimbursement will only occur in accordance
with a written credit/reimbursement agreement between the City and the developer responsible
for the construction of the Fee facilities or dedication of land.
1. All fee credits will be granted by use of a standard agreement approved by the City
Attorney.
2. This credit/reimbursement agreement will be entered into at the time the improvements
are secured and/or the right-of-way is accepted for dedication. The terms of this
agreement may, at the City's discretion, be included in the agreement entered into with
567
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 8
the City to secure certain public improvements as contained on a Final Parcel Map or
Final Subdivision Map.
3. Any credits, which are unused within ten years following their creation, pursuant to
Section VI.G.a of these Guidelines, shall convert to a right to reimbursement, unless the
developer first extends the credits as provided for in Section VI.G .b of these Guidelines.
4. Neither a credit nor the right to reimbursement shall either be increased for inflation or
accrue interest. The park land right to reimbursement amount shall be based on land
value at the time of dedication.
5. Credits are transferable, with the written approval of the City Manager, provided that the
administrative fee is paid, as specified in these guidelines.
6. The developer will sign the fee credit/reimbursement agreement attesting that it obtained
a copy of these administrative guidelines and they were read, understood, and accepted.
7. Prior to the 2021 Update, the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee distinguished
between Section I and Section II improvements and, therefore, credits earned by Section I
and Section II improvements could only be used to offset fees for that same category.
These distinctions were eliminated in the 2021 Update to the Eastern Dublin
Transportation Fee. After the effectiveness of the 2021 Update to the Eastern Dublin
Transportation Fee, any previously created credits that were denominated “Section I” or
“Section II” credits can be used to satisfy Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee
obligations for which credits can be used.
8. With respect to the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, no fee credits shall be
established for the " Residential BART Garage Fee" (formerly known as “Section II
Residential BART Garage”) component of the Fee. Payments from those monies shall be
made in accordance with subsection VI.L below.
9. With respect to the Public Facilities Fee, the City Manager may approve the conversion
of credits from one park land category to another park land category based on the land
values conversion ratio, or may approve the conversation of credits from one park
improvement category to another park improvement category. Park land credits cannot
convert to park improvement credits nor can park improvement credits convert to park
land credits.Any such conversion shall require an amendment to the
credit/reimbursement agreement that documents the existing credits or a new
credit/reimbursement agreement, if the credits have not been documented. Requests for
conversion under this section must be made in writing and the decision to approve or
deny a request is made at the sole discretion of the City Manager. The City Manager shall
approve the conversion only if he or she finds that the conversion would not materially
change the Public Facilities Fee program's ability to deliver the acreage in each category
specified in the program. This provision does not apply to any other category in the
568
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 9
Public Facilities Fee program.
C. Calculating the Fee Credits
1.General
The fee credit/reimbursement agreement will identify the total credit for Fee
improvements/facilities constructed or land dedicated for a particular development
project. The contributed land or improvements must be the facilities described in the
applicable Fee Resolutions and/or any subsequent replacement resolutions. There must be
a minimum value of $50,000 in improvements and/or right of way dedicated before
credits will be allotted to a developer.
2.Determination of Value
The Public Works Director will determine the value of the contributed
improvements/facilities based upon improvement plans submitted by the developer and
approved by the City, which plans shall quantify the size of the Fee facilities to be
constructed or dedicated. It is recognized that, in some cases, the scope of construction or
dedication will not exactly match the Fee facilities shown in the exhibits to the Fee
Resolution.
The credits will be the lesser of the following: a) the estimated cost of the improvements
as noted in the Resolution and/or any subsequent replacement resolution; or b) the pro-
rated value of the improvement using the standard cost measurements in the Resolution
and/or any subsequent replacement resolution. The Fee credits cannot exceed the cost
estimates of the improvements in the most recent Fee study and resolution. In no case
shall the fee credits include facility financing costs. See Appendix A for illustrative
examples 1 through 6, which pertain to this section.
D. Use of Fee Credits
1. Credits expire when used or 10 years from the date of the credit/reimbursement
agreement, whichever occurs first.
2. Developer can request that a credit exists in perpetuity, with the exception of the Fire
Facilities Fee. To exercise this option, Developer must make a written request to the City
Manager or designee, and the credit will not be eligible to convert to a right to
reimbursement.
569
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 10
The value of the credits will be listed in the agreement and applied as credits to the Fees
as authorized by the developer. The City's Administrative Services Department will keep
record of credit utilization and balance.
3. Only the developer who builds or dedicates the Fee facilities will be entitled to the
original or initial credits, until such time as they may be transferred in accordance with
these guidelines.
E. Use of Fee Credits requires Completion of Facility or Performance Bonds
Fee credits cannot be used by the developer until the developer has either:
1. Dedicated the land or constructed improvements/facilities representing the credits to the
City; or
2. Provided the City with a performance bond and a labor and materials bond or other
adequate security to insure that the improvements will be constructed prior to the first
Certificate of Occupancy for any building that is part of the project. The performance
bond or other security shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the engineer's estimated
cost to construct the improvements and the labor and materials bond shall be written by a
surety licensed to conduct business in the State of California and approved by the City
Manager or designee. See Appendix A for illustrative example 7, which pertains to this
section.
F. Transferring of Credits
1. The original holder of credits can request a transfer of credits to a person owning an
interest in property that is subject to the same category of the Fee in question. Such
transactions shall be subject to an administrative fee, which shall cover the City's
administrative costs associated with the credit transfer. The administrative fee shall be
established in the City's Master Fee Schedule.
2. There is no limit on the number of times that credits can be transferred between
developments.
3. In certain circumstances, and as required in the interest of equity, the City Manager may,
at his or her sole discretion, authorize the transfer of credits to a person who does not own
an interest in property subject to the Fee.
G. Options At or Prior to Expiration of Credit Life
At or prior to expiration of the credit, the developer has the following options:
a) The expired unused fee credit shall automatically convert to a reimbursement right as
570
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 11
provided for under these guidelines, unless Developer submits a written request for
extension no more than six months prior and no less than three (3) months prior to the
credit expiration date or with City Manager's approval if the request passes the City's
required timeframe. The period for right to reimbursement extends ten (10) years from
the date of expiration.
b) As an alternative, Developer can request that credits, other than credits created under the
Fire Facilities Fee, exist in perpetuity and not convert to a right to reimbursement. To
exercise this option, Developer must make a request, in writing, no more than six months
prior and no less than three (3) months prior to credit expiration, or with City Manager's
approval if the request passes the City's required timeframe. Developer must secure a
written approval from the City Manager or designee for the request. Credits cannot be re-
converted to a right to reimbursement.
o Developers that have Fire Facilities Fee credits that would exist in perpetuity
may request that the credits be converted to a right to reimbursement with
approval, in writing, by the City Manager.
H. Reimbursement Rights (Excluding Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact
Fee Residential BART Garage Fees)
Reimbursement rights are created from the conversion of Fee credits, which occurs 10 years after
the initial date of the credit/reimbursement agreement, or after credit extension. Right to
reimbursement life is 10 years. Reimbursement rights are subject to the following specific
guidelines:
1. Reimbursement will only be from funds that were collected in payment of the same Fee
as the one for which a developer is seeking reimbursement.
2. The City will determine the amount of funds available for reimbursement on an annual
basis based on Fee programs, such as the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee and
Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, and the Public Facilities Fee programs.
I. Process for Reimbursement of Reimbursement Rights
1.Determination of Funds Available for Reimbursement
Within 180 days of the end of each fiscal year, the Administrative Services Department
will make an accounting of all Fees collected for the fiscal year that just ended. The
Administrative Services Department will also determine, for each of the Fees, the amount
of Fee funds that are unspent and unplanned. The remaining funds (the reimbursement
571
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 12
set-aside) will be used to reimburse holders of reimbursement rights for facilities already
contributed, if any such reimbursement rights exist.
2.Allocating the Reimbursement Set-Aside to Outstanding Reimbursement Rights
In the event that the City designates that a reimbursement set-aside is available, 50% will
be used to pay the oldest reimbursement right outstanding. If the oldest right is paid off
before this portion of funds is entirely consumed, then the balance of the 50% will go
toward the next oldest right. This portion of reimbursement set-aside funds will be
allocated according to this method until it is exhausted. The other half of the
reimbursement set-aside will be allocated to all remaining reimbursement rights on a pro-
rata basis according to their amounts outstanding, including the remaining un-reimbursed
portion of the oldest agreement. Unused reimbursement set-aside funds will not be
carried over to another fiscal year. See Appendix A for illustrative example 7, which
pertains to this section.
This guideline does not apply to any Fire Facilities Fee reimbursement that was
converted from a credit in perpetuity. Upon such conversion, the City Manager shall
have the authority, in writing, to establish the right to reimbursement priorities for rights
of reimbursement.
J. Procedures for Construction of Designated Facilities by Developers
1. With respect to the Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee and the Eastern Dublin
Transportation Impact Fee, the improvements requested to be constructed or dedicated
must be submitted for approval in writing to the Public Works Director no later than 30
calendar days prior to the approval of the Final/Parcel Map on the development project.
Absent a Map, a letter must be submitted for approval prior to the approval of the
improvement agreement. The submittal of the improvement plans and/or description of
area to be dedicated shall be in sufficient detail, as determined by the Public Works
Director, for the Public Works Director to make a determination regarding the approval.
The developer constructing or dedicating improvements in lieu of paying a portion of the
Fee must post a performance bond before the issuance of any grading and/or building
permits for the construction of the improvements.
2. With respect to the Public Facilities Fee (PFF), developers may, with City approval, be
permitted to design and construct facilities included in the FF program. The design and
construction materials/methods must be in accordance with standard City specifications,
and City inspectors shall be responsible for construction inspection throughout the
572
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 13
duration of the construction period. The PFF Facilities to be constructed or dedicated by
the developer must be submitted for approval in writing to the Public Works Director no
later than 30 calendar days prior to the approval of the Final/Parcel Map or improvement
program on the development project. The submittal of the improvement plans and/or
description of area to be dedicated shall be in sufficient detail, including the layout of
timeline/milestones of the construction, as determined by the Public Works Director, for
the Public Works Director to make an informed determination regarding the approval.
The developer constructing or dedicating PFF Facilities in lieu of paying a portion of the
Fee must post a performance bond and a labor and materials bond before the issuance of
any grading and/or building permits for the construction of the PFF Facilities.
K. Guidelines for Issuing Trip Credits for Transportation Impact Fees
1. Trip credit shall be determined by the City based upon the adopted trip generation rates
as specified in the Fee program. See Appendix A for illustrative examples 8 through 11,
which pertain to this section.
2. Trip credits shall follow the land use and not the user. For example, assume User X
relocates from Space A to Space B, both of which are located within the Western Dublin
TIF area. User X shall not receive trip credit for vacating Space A. User X shall be
charged the appropriate TIF amount for moving into Space B, subject to receiving trip
credit as specified below. Similarly, the appropriate TIF amount shall be charged to the
next user of Space A, subject to the appropriate trip credit.
3. Trip credit associated with unoccupied space shall be issued if, and only if, the space has
been vacant for three (3) calendar years or less prior to the date when a use permit is
issued to the new user.
4. TIF calculations/trip credit for uses, other than Urgent Care Medical Office, located
within a general office building that houses multiple tenants (such as professional
services, insurance companies, investment brokers, bank or savings and loan institutions,
medical offices, restaurant or cafeteria, retail facilities, etc.) shall be based upon a
uniform trip generation rate for Standard Commercial Office as specified in the Fee
Program. For Urgent Care Medical Office use within a general office building, the trip
generation rate for Clinic, as specified in the Fee program, shall be used to calculate the
TIF and the trip credit.
5. Trip credit for uses located within a shopping center containing retail stores, as well as
non-merchandising facilities (such as office buildings, movie theaters, restaurants, post
offices, banks, health clubs, recreational facilities, etc.) shall be based upon a uniform trip
generation rate for the appropriate type of Shopping Center as specified in the Fee
program.
573
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 14
L. Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee- Residential BART Garage
1.Payment to Alameda County Surplus Property Authority (ACSPA) for $6 million of
BART Garage Costs (Residential BART Garage, formerly known as Section II
Residential BART Garage).
With respect to the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee, payment of Residential
BART Garage Fees, payment shall be made to the Alameda County Surplus Property
Authority (ACSPA), which is responsible for the parking garage construction and
dedication of the improvement to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) District for public
use. Except for interest earned on Residential BART Garage fees prior to distribution, the
maximum amount to be paid to ACSPA shall not exceed $6,000,000 (six million dollars).
Payment to Alameda County Surplus Property Authority is subject to the following
specific guidelines:
a) The maximum to be disbursed from fees collected shall be six million dollars
($6,000,000), which amount shall not be increased for any reason including inflation. In
addition, any accrued interest pending disbursement shall be disbursed to ACSPA.
b) Disbursement will be only from the Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee
Residential BART Garage fee, and will not come from any other source including the
City's General Fund.
c) The amount disbursed will depend on the payment of fees by development subject to the
fee. There is no guarantee that ACSPA will receive a total of $6,000,000.
d) The City will determine and report on an annual basis to ACSPA, the amount of funds
collected from the Residential BART Garage fee and the amount available for
disbursement, including interest accrued prior to disbursement, if any.
e) The procedure for distributing the disbursements to ACSPA is described below.
2.Process for Payment to ACSPA - Residential BART Garage Fee Funds
a) Initial Distribution of Residential BART Garage Fee Funds
i.Once the BART Garage has been accepted by BART and made available for
public use, the ACSPA shall provide to the City a written certification of the
completion of the BART Garage.
ii.Within 45 days of receipt of the certification described above, City shall calculate
the balance of funds available in Residential BART Garage fee, as of the first day
of the month preceding the date of the notice. City shall also calculate and
574
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 15
account for accrued interest based on the quarterly balance of Residential BART
Garage Fees and the earning rate applied to pooled funds managed by the City.
City shall remit to ACSPA the funds as calculated along with a report showing
the maximum remaining fees that may be paid to ACSPA.
iii.Thereafter, funds shall be distributed on an annual basis as described below.
b) Annual Determination of Residential BART Garage Fee Funds Available for Payment
i.Within 180 days of the end of each fiscal year, the Administrative Services
Department will make an accounting of all Residential BART Garage fees
collected, and not previously disbursed, for the fiscal year that just ended. This
shall include accrued interest.
ii.The City shall distribute to ACSPA, Residential BART Garage fees available, to
the extent that the total distribution including previous payments, excluding any
amounts paid as interest, does not exceed the maximum amount described above.
iii.The Administrative Services Department shall annually report to the ACSPA the
current balance remaining in Residential BART Garage fees that may be paid.
575
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 16
Appendix A: Illustrative Examples
576
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 17
Illustrative Example 1 (Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee or Western Dublin
Transportation Impact Fee):Assume that a developer dedicates land for the partial widening of a
major street to offset the Fees due from a development project. To qualify for a credit, this
roadway widening project must be included in the relevant Transportation Impact Fee program.
The land dedication to be applied for a Fee credit shall not include improvements immediately
adjacent to the development project, as these improvements are entirely the responsibility of the
developer and are not to be funded by the Fee. To qualify for a credit for the improvements
immediately adjacent to the development project, these improvements must be included in the
relevant fee program. The Resolution used a standard cost measurement on the current value per
square foot for right-of-way dedication in calculating the TIF. The Fee credits due to the
developer can be calculated by determining the square footage of the land to be dedicated
multiplied by the proper square foot cost measurement after automatic annual adjustments based
on the change in land acquisition costs.
Illustrative Example 2 (Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee):A Developer constructing
multi-family homes contributes traffic signal improvements (TIF improvement) valued at
$200,000. Assume that the Fee at the time totals $2,497 per dwelling unit. The credit of $200,000
will cover approximately 80.10 dwelling units. When the building permit is issued for the 81st
dwelling unit, the developer will have used up the credit and will have to begin paying the Fee.
Illustrative Example 3 (Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee):A developer constructing
single family homes has a fee credit of $200,000 from previous construction of improvements
that were part of the prior Section I EDTIF program. The EDTIF program no longer makes a
distinction between Section I and Section II improvements. The fee credits can be used to offset
the developer’s future EDTIF obligations. Assume that the EDTIF at the time totals $13,613 per
home. The credit of $200,000 can be used against the developer's EDTIF obligation and will
cover approximately 14.69 homes. When the building permit is issued for the 15th home, the
developer will have used up the credit and will have to begin paying the EDTIF.
Illustrative Example 4 (Public Facilities Fee):Assume that a developer improves 10 acres of
land for a planned 20-acre community park to offset the Fees due for the Community Parks
Improvement fee component. The last adopted fee study used a standard cost estimate of
$420,000 per acre for calculating the cost of improved community parkland. The fee credit due to
the developer will be calculated using this cost estimate (10 acres, $420,000 per acre =
$4,200,000).
577
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 18
Illustrative Example 5 (Public Facilities Fee):A developer constructing single family homes in
Dublin contributes neighborhood park improvements valued at $200,000. The Neighborhood
Parks Improvements portion of the Fee for a single family home is $2,280 of the total Fee of
$32,643. The developer must pay a Fee of $30,363 for each single-family home (total Fee of
$32,643 less credit of $2,280) until the $200,000 credit is used up. This credit will cover the
Neighborhood Parks, Improvements component of the Fee for the first 87 single-family homes
constructed ($200,000/$2,280 = 87.72). When the developer applies for the building permit for
the 88th home, he or she will begin paying this component of the Fee with the balance of the
Public Facilities Fee due for the project.
Illustrative Example 6 (Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee or Western Dublin
Transportation Impact Fee):A developer is constructing certain street improvements, which will
be dedicated to the City to offset a portion of the Fee. The improvements are a project in Fee
Program. The developer supplies the City with a right-of-way conveyance, a performance bond
and a labor and materials bond for the completion of the street improvements. Fee credits can be
used in advance of completing the improvements, since the City is assured that the land will be
dedicated and the improvements will be completed.
Illustrative Example 7 (Eastern Dublin Transportation Impact Fee):During one fiscal year, the
City collects $88,000 in Fees for Eastern Dublin TIF improvements. The total outstanding
reimbursements owed for the Eastern Dublin TIF are $100,000 to the following developers:
Developer A (the oldest agreement):$50,000
Developer B:$20,000
Developer C:$30,000
For the upcoming fiscal year, the City retains $44,000 for improvements not built by developers
and allocates $44,000 as the reimbursement set-aside to reduce current reimbursement
obligations. $22,000 (50% of the $44,000) of the reimbursement set-aside is used to pay
Developer A, who holds the oldest agreement. Developer A now has $28,000 of outstanding
reimbursements (beginning balance of $50,000 less the $22,000 payment). The other half of the
reimbursement set-aside ($22,000) is allocated proportionally to all three parties who currently
hold reimbursement rights as follows:

Illustrative Example 8 (Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee):User X moves his/her fast
food restaurant business into an individual (standalone) building located within the Western
Dublin TIF area. Previous use of the building consisted of a sit-down restaurant, which was
vacated approximately two years prior to User X obtaining his/her use permit. Would User X be
entitled to trip credit?
Answer:Yes, because the previous use was vacated only two years before he/she would be
entitled to trip credit for the previous sit-down restaurant use which generates fewer trips than a
fast food restaurant. User X would pay TIF based on the net trips estimated for his/her project.
Illustrative Example 9 (Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee):User X (insurance company
office) and User Y (dental office) occupy office space in two separate general office buildings
(building A and building B, respectively). Both buildings are located within the Western Dublin
TIF area. The two users have decided to switch office spaces (e.g., User X would relocate to the
space in building B and User Y would relocate to the space in building A). Would either user be
required to pay TIF?
Answer:No, because as each user moves into the other space, he/she would receive full trip credit
for the previous use, based on the uniform trip generation rate for Standard Commercial Office as
specified in the Fee program. Note: Although User Y operates a dental office, which generates
more trips than an insurance company office (User X), the same trip generation rate (i.e.,
Standard Commercial Office) is used in both cases to calculate the TIF, as both uses are proposed
to take place within a general office building.
Illustrative Example 10 (Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee):User X proposes to
change the use of his/her individual (standalone) space within the Western Dublin TIF area from
Health Club to Bowling Center/Video Arcade. How would the TIF be determined?
Answer:The TIF would be determined based on the net change in trips estimated for the
proposed project. For example, User X would be charged TIF based on the proposed Bowling
579
City of Dublin Consolidated Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines – December 2021 Page 20
Center/Video Arcade use, but would receive trip credit for the discontinued Health Club use.
Illustrative Example 11 (Western Dublin Transportation Impact Fee):User X proposes to
establish an Urgent Care Medical Office within a general office building by replacing existing
retail/restaurant uses located on the first floor of the building. How would the trip credit be
determined?
Answer:The trip credit would be determined based on the trip generation rate for Standard
Commercial Office. Note: The TIF would be based upon the increase in trips due to the proposed
project (e.g., the difference between Clinic trips and Standard Commercial Office trips).
