WHEREAS, the City of Palm Springs ("City") is a Member Agency of the Coachella
Valley Association of Governments ("CVAG"), a joint powers agency consisting of the
County of Riverside ("County"), the Aqua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, the Cabazon
Band of Mission Indians, the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, the City of Blythe,
and the nine cities (Desert Hot Springs, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage,
Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio and Coachella) situated in the Coachella
Valley (collectively, "Member Agencies"); and
WHEREAS, acting in concert, the Member Agencies developed a plan whereby
the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways
and Arterials within CVAG's jurisdiction (the "Regional System") could be made up in part
by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee ("TUMF") imposed on new development within
the jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, as a CVAG Member Agency, the City participated in the preparation
of the 1987 Coachella Valley Area Transportation Study ("1987 Transportation Study")
prepared pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code section 66000 et seq.)
and based on the 1987 Transportation Study, the City adopted and collects this fee; and
WHEREAS, CVAG commissioned the preparation of various studies ("Fee
Studies") which evaluate population and employment growth, future transportation needs
and the availability of traditional transportation funding sources to establish updated
TUMF levels and program revenue collection targets; and
WHEREAS, the Fee Studies, as periodically updated, make it possible to
determine a reasonable relationship between the cumulative regional impacts of new land
development projects in the Coachella Valley on the Regional System and the need to
mitigate these transportation impacts using funds levied through the TUMF program; and
WHEREAS, the Fee Studies, as periodically updated, establish the purposes of
the TUMF, which may be summarized as a uniform development impact fee to help fund
construction of the Regional System needed to accommodate growth in the Coachella
Valley to the year 2040; and

WHEREAS, CVAG commissioned Michael Baker International, Inc., to prepare an
updated TUMF study entitled "Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) 2018 Fee
Schedule Update Nexus Report,"dated March 2018 (the"2018 Nexus Study")to establish
updated TUMF levels and program revenue collection targets, which was approved by
the CVAG Executive Committee on April 30, 2018; and
WHEREAS, the 2018 Nexus Study revealed the need to revise the provisions of
the TUMF ordinance to reflect changes in the Mitigation Fee Act which governs the
adoption and implementation of development impact fees, and to reflect the findings of
the 2018 Nexus Study; and
WHEREAS, the updated TUMF Handbook accurately reflects increased rates
established for the TUMF in accordance with the 2018 Nexus Study; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to accurately collect TUMF along with the
other participating jurisdictions within the Coachella Valley as requested by the CVAG
General Assembly; and

is subject to the Mitigation Fee Act, codified at California Government Code (CGC)
§66000 et seq., and more specifically in accordance with CGC §66016, §66013, or
§66014, and the City, in considering this adjustment to the TUMF, is adhereing to the
procedures of CGC §66016(a); and
