ORDINANCE NO. 1334
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A TRANSPORTATION
UNIFORM MITIGATION.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
(1) The City Council of the City of Palm Springs finds that future
development within the City of Palm Springs and within the Coachella
Valley to the year 2010 will result in traffic volumes in excess of
capacity on the regional system of streets , arterials and highways now
existing.
(2) The City Council finds that failure to expand the capacity of the
existing circulation system will cause unacceptable levels of congestion
on the streets and arterials of the regional system.
(3) The City Council also finds and declares that in the absence of this
Ordinance imposing a fair-share traffic fee upon new development,
existing and future sources of revenue are inadequate to fund substan-
tial portions of the regional transportation system improvements needed
to avoid unacceptable levels of congestion and related adverse impacts .
(4 ) The City Council finds that exactions from development will construct
only a portion of the local and regional facilities and that the
adoption of this Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee ordinance will '
raise the additional revenues needed to construct the improvements to
accommodate traffic that will be generated by development of land within
the City and within the Coachella Valley.
(5) The City Council also finds that the Coachella Valley Area Transporta-
tion Study has determined the extent to which the new development of
land will generate traffic volumes impacting the roadway system and that
this Ordinance establishes a fair and equitable method for distributing
the unfunded costs of transportation improvements necessary to accom-
modate the traffic volumes generated by such development.
(6) The City Council further finds that the regional transportation improve-
ments and the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee established by this
Ordinance are based on the findings of the 1987 Coachella Valley Area
Transportation Study whose policy-committee members represented all nine
cities in the Coachella Valley and Riverside County. This study has
established that growth in the year 2010 will affect the entire regional
transportation system and therefore the area of impact for future
development is the entire Coachella Valley as defined in this Ordinance.
The Study make the following additional findings :
(a) Population and employment within the Coachella Valley is expected
to double by the year 2010 and would cause Levels of Service E and
F (as defined in the National Academy of Sciences 1964 Highway '
Capacity Manual and as updated in the 1985 Highway Capacity
Manual , Special Report 209) on existing streets and arterials.
WP/CC ORD
Ord. No . 1334
Page 2
(b) The Coachella Valley Area Transportation Study shows that by the
year 2010 the Coachella Valley will increasingly become a more
integrated and inter-dependent region where 92% of all daily trips
will stay within the Valley, most as inter-city trips for both
residents and visitors.
(c) The 1181 Coachella Valley Area Transportation Study modeled and
evaluated the effect of projected growth to the year 2010 on all
major streets and highways in the Coachella Valley and found that
without expansion , the transportation system would suffer severe
congestion. Further, the study showed that the recommended trans-
portation improvements would accommodate the traffic anticipated
in the year 2010 at the desired Level of Service C.
(d) In the year 2010, according to the Coachella Valley Area Trans-
portation Study, the Valley will remain a self-contained community
where jobs and the labor force are well-balanced. The increase in
inter-city travel , however, will result in an increase in average
trip length.
(e) Existing and future sources of public revenues are insufficient to
fund all the needed transportation improvements.
(f) The revenues generated by this Transportation Mitigation Fee will
provide the additional funds necessary to construct the trans-
portation improvements and provide the additional capacity needed
by the year 2010 to accommodate the traffic generated by the
development of land in the City and in the Coachella Valley.
(g) The Transportation Mitigation Fee is a fair and equitable method
of distributing the cost of transportation improvements among the
developments which will generate the increased traffic.
(7) The City Council adopts all findings and incorporates by reference all
findings contained in the following Reports/Studies , which Reports
/Studies are on file in the office of the Director of Community Develop-
ment.

the City to adopt a fee for new construction to provide local funds for
transportation projects in order to receive Measure A funds; and
(3) The City finds that receipt of Measure A funds are necessary to protect
the public health, welfare and safety; and
(4) On June 21 , 1989, the City adopted a Transportation Uniform Mitigation
Fee in compliance with Measure A, but such fee will not take effect
until July 21 , 1989 and a portion of such fee which is imposed on single
and multi-family development projects will take effect until August 21 ,
1989 pursuant to State law; and
(5) The City adopts this interim urgency measure pursuant to Government
Code, Section 65962 to be effective immediately in order to comply with
Measure A requirements and receive Measure A funds to protect the public
health, welfare and safety; and
(6) The City Council of the City of Palm Springs finds that future
development within the City of Palm Springs and within the Coachella
Valley to the year 2010 will result in traffic volumes in excess of
capacity on the regional system of streets, arterials and highways now
existing; and
(7) The City Council finds that failure to expand the capacity of the
existing circulation system will cause unacceptable levels of congestion
on the streets and arterials of the regional system; and
(8) The City Council also finds and declares that in the absence of this
Ordinance imposing a fair-share traffic fee upon new development,
existing and future sources of revenue are inadequate to fund substan-
tial portions of the regional transportation system improvements needed
to avoid unacceptable levels of congestion and related adverse impacts ;
and
(9) The City Council finds that exactions from development will construct
only a portion of the local and regional facilities and that the
adoption of this Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee ordinance will
raise the additional revenues needed to construct the improvements to
accommodate traffic that will be generated by development of land within
the City and within the Coachella Valley; and
(10) The City Council also finds that the Coachella Valley Area Transporta-
tion Study has determined the extent to which the new development of
land will generate traffic volumes impacting the roadway system and that
this Ordinance establishes a fair and equitable method for distributing
the unfunded costs of transportation improvements necessary to accom-
modate the traffic volumes generated by such development; and

(11 ) The City Council further finds that the regional transportation improve-
ments and the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee established by this
Ordinance are based on the findings of the 1987 Coachella Valley Area
Transportation Study whose policy-committee members represented all nine
cities in the Coachella Valley and Riverside County. This study has
established that growth in the year 2010 will affect the entire regional
transportation system and therefore the area of impact for future '
development is the entire Coachella Valley as defined in this Ordinance .
The Study make the following additional findings :
(a ) Population and employment within the Coachella Valley is expected
to double by the year 2010 and would cause Levels of Service E and
F (as defined in the National Academy of Sciences 1964 Highway
Capacity Manual and as updated in the 1985 Highway Capacity
Manual , Special Report 209) on existing streets and arterials .
(b) The Coachella Valley Area Transportation Study shows that by the
year 2010 the Coachella Valley will increasingly become a more
integrated and inter-dependent region where 92% of all daily trips
will stay within the Valley, most as inter-city trips for both
residents and visitors .
(c) The 1987 Coachella Valley Area Transportation Study modeled and
evaluated the effect of projected growth to the year 2010 on all
major streets and highways in the Coachella Valley and found that
without expansion , the transportation system would suffer severe
congestion . Further , the study showed that the recommended trans-
portation improvements would accommodate the traffic anticipated
in the year 2010 at the desired Level of Service C .
(d) In the year 2010, according to the Coachella Valley Area Trans- '
portation Study, the Valley will remain a self-contained community
where jobs and the labor force are well-balanced. The increase in
inter-city travel , however , will result in an increase in average
trip length.
(e) Existing and future sources of public revenues are insufficient to
fund all the needed transportation improvements.
(f) The revenues generated by this Transportation Mitigation Fee will
provide the additional funds necessary to construct the trans-
portation improvements and provide the additional capacity needed
by the year 2010 to accommodate the traffic generated by the
development of land in the City and in the Coachella Valley.
(g) The Transportation Mitigation Fee is a fair and equitable method
of distributing the cost of transportation improvements among the
developments which will generate the increased traffic; and
(12) The City Council adopts all findings and incorporates by reference all
findings contained in the following Reports/Studies , which Reports
/Studies are on file in the office of the Director of Community Develop-
ment.
