A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA SETTING THE
TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE AMOUNT
PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE N0. 573.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the Ci�y of Palm Desert,
California did on May 25, 1989 by Ordinance No. 573 establish
a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee based on certain
findings including but not limited to the following:
(1) Future development within the City of Palm Desert
and within the Coachella Valley to the year 2010 will result
in traffic volumes in excess of capacity adversely impacting
the regional system of streets, arterials and highways now
existing;
(2) Failure to expand the capacity of the existing
circulation system will cause unacceptable levels of
congestion on the streets, arterials, and highways of the
regional system;
(3) Absent a uniform mitigation transportation fee
imposing a fair-share traffic fee upon new development,
existing and future sources of revenue are inadequate to fund
substantial portions of the Regional Transportation System
improvements needed to avoid unacceptable levels of
congestion and related adverse impacts;
(4) The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee will
raise the additional revenues needed to construct the
improvements to accomodate traffic that will be generated by
development of land within the City and within the Coachella
Valley;
(5) The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee is a fair
and equitable method for distributing the unfunded costs of
transportation improvements necessary to accomodate the
traffic volumes generated by new development; and
WHEREAS, Section 4(2) of Ordinance No. requires
that the amount of the mitigation fee shall be based on the
trip generation rate defined in that ordinance and shall be
established by the City and further requires the City to
adopt by resolution the fee as recommended by CVAG or a
higher fee amount; and
FORMSI/O1 -1-

findings, that the Palm Desert City Council adopts this
