TIM Fees (Effective April 13, 2012)

Notes

All 2004 General Plan Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee Program fees for all projects shall be paid at the building permit stage. The fees charged will be the fees in effect on the date a completed building permit application is accepted by the Development Services Department’s Building Services. Pursuant to the terms of the Board of Supervisors Policy B-15 for fee deferral, some residential projects may be eligible to elect to pay the fee over a five-year period

No fee shall be required for remodeling of existing residential units that were built pursuant to a valid building permit from County of El Dorado’s Development Services Department’s Building Services.

The fees for non-residential structures shall be based on the projected use of structures, as determined by plans submitted for building permits, and shall be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. Pursuant to the terms of Board of Supervisors Policy B-3 for fee deferral, some non-residential projects may be eligible to defer payment of the fee until issuance of the certificate of occupancy, or pursuant to the terms of Board of Supervisors Policy B-3, may elect to pay a portion of the fee over a five-year period.

Mobile homes on permanent foundations shall be subject to the single-family residential fee.

Second dwelling as defined under County Code Chapter 17.15.020 shall be subject to the multi-family fee.

Fees for Age Restricted housing (also know as Senior Citizen housing) are applicable to developments that meet the following:

• Definitions in California Civil Code Sections 51.2 and 51.3;
• Are within community regions that have or will be served by public infrastructure (including but not limited to sewer, water, and transportation).

Single-family Age Restricted Residential fee is 38% of the Single-family Residential fee rate as defined in the appropriate TIM Fee Zone. Multi-family Age Restricted Residential fee is 38% of the Multi-family Residential fee rate as defined in the appropriate TIM Fee Zone. The Age Restricted fees have been established based upon trip generation rates for land use categories 251 and 252 from the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ Trip Generation, 8th Edition.

A gas pump (defined) is a customer service location with a fuel delivery device containing fuel dispensing hose(s), which may or may not be located on an island or other raised platform.

At the discretion of the Director of Transportation, an applicant required to pay a fee calculated on the basis of the above schedule may receive a full or partial waiver of the fee or may receive credits against future fee obligations, and/or future reimbursements for any road improvement expenditures in excess of applicants fee obligation, if the Director of Transportation certifies that the applicant has constructed improvements included in the 2004 General Plan Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee Program through other funding mechanisms.

For circumstances wherein a building permit withdrawal is approved by the appropriate County department(s) and a refund is requested and approved, the refund will be made payable to the owner(s) of record of the parcel on the date the application for the refund is submitted, or whomever the aforementioned owner(s) of record legally designates.

The fees set forth above in this Exhibit A will be adjusted annually with any revised fees taking effect on, or about, July 1st of each year, by updating improvement cost estimates using actual construction costs of ongoing and completed projects, the most current cost estimates for those projects that are far enough along in the project development cycle to have project specific cost estimates, and for all other projects, the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index (ENR-BCI) (20 Cities). The Department of Transportation will also incorporate any changes to the land use forecasts should new General Plan land use forecasts become available.

Land Use Types

The TIM Fee Program’s “Land Use Types” are primarily based on the input land uses for the County’s General Plan Transportation Demand Model (TDM). These descriptions were further refined based on descriptions of similar land uses in the reference manual: “Trip Generation”, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). References listed below are to this manual. These descriptions do not include all possible uses.

Single Family Dwellings (SFD): Single family detached homes on individual lots, including mobile/modular homes on a permanent foundation and homes within a retirement community. (Reference: Land Uses 210, 240, 251)

Multi-family Dwellings (MFD): Two or more attached dwelling units with a common wall (irrespective of whether they are on the same or different lots/parcels). Examples include: apartments, condominiums, and townhouses. Each unit in a MFD pays the Multi-family rate. (Reference: Land Uses 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 230, 231, 232, 233, 252)

High trip commercial: Examples include: convenience markets*, fast food restaurants (with or without drive-through windows), drive-through banks, car washes. Square footage includes the gross floor area. (Reference: Land Uses 851, 852, 853, 912, 932 – 940, 948)

General commercial: Examples include: walk-in banks, restaurants, supermarkets, theaters, hotels/motels, bowling allies, daycare centers, hardware/paint stores, building/lumber stores, new/used car sales, libraries, community centers, hospitals, retail, wholesale/retail nurseries, customer accessible areas of post offices, warehouse outlet stores, tasting rooms, auto repair/service, gyms, fitness centers, health clubs, clubhouses. Square footage includes the gross floor area. (Reference: Land Uses 300 – 399, 812 – 850, 854 – 896, 911, 918 – 931, 941 – 943, 400 – 499)

Office: Locations where affairs of businesses, professional persons, or firms are conducted. Office buildings may house a mixture of tenants. Examples include: medical/dental offices, veterinary, insurance, real estate, corporate headquarters, employee work area of post office, general business offices, public /private schools. Square footage includes the gross floor area. (Reference: Land Uses 520 – 550, 630, 640, 710, 714, 715, 720, 732)

Industrial: Examples include: light/heavy manufacturing, assembly, utilities, processing/manufacturing areas for wineries, laboratories. Square footage includes the gross floor area. (Reference: Land Uses 110, 120, 130, 140)

Warehouse: Warehouses are primarily devoted to the storage of materials, but they may also include office and maintenance areas. Examples include: warehouse, ministorage, high-cube warehouse. Square footage includes the gross floor area. (Reference: Land Uses 150, 151, 152)

Churches: Buildings in which public worship services are held, including churches, synagogues, mosques, and similar places of worship. Churches typically house an assembly hall or sanctuary; it may also house office areas, meeting rooms, classrooms (e.g., Sunday school areas) and, occasionally, dining, catering, or party facilities. This category does not include separate structures devoted to non-religious purposes such as a separate office building or school building. These would be charged at the office category rate. Square footage includes the gross floor area. (Reference: Land Uses 560, 561)

Gas station: Includes gasoline/service stations where the primary business is the fueling of motor vehicles. Rates are based on the number of pumps. A pump is capable of filling one car with fuel at a time. For example, one physical structure with 2 hoses that can be used to fill 2 different vehicles simultaneously, would be the equivalent of 2 pumps. (Reference: Land Use 944)

Gas stations combined with convenience markets are charged the higher of either the “Gas station” category rate, or the “High trip commercial” rate.
