PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
Adopt Resolution No. 04- 48 accepting new TUMF (Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee) rates as approved by CVAG's Executive
Committee
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, City Engineer
DATE: June 10, 2004
CONTENTS: Resolution No. 04-48
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 04-48 accepting the new TUMF rates as approved by
CVAG's Executive Committee on March 29, 2004.
Discussion:
On July 1, 1989, the City of Palm Desert adopted by Ordinance 573 the TUMF program which
provides for the collection of revenues to construct improvements to accommodate traffic that
will be generated by development of land within the City and within the Coachella Valley. TUMF
fees are based on trip generation rates which are published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE). The Executive Committee of CVAG annually reviews the new ITE trip
generation rates and, if necessary, amends the amount of the recommended mitigation fee to
insure that it is a fair and equitable method of distributing the costs of the improvements
necessary to accommodate traffic volumes generated by future growth. Under Ordinance 573,
the City Council shall annually review and, if necessary, amend, by resolution, the fee amounts
recommended by CVAG's Executive Committee. On March 29, 2004, CVAG's Executive
Committee approved the adoption of ITE 7th Edition which altered TUMF fees for some building
categories. Resolution No. 04-48 details the changes that will be effective July 1, 2004.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 04-48 for the implementation of new
TUMF rates to be effective July 1, 2004.

PREFACE
This Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Handbook is used to implement the TUMF
Ordinance, which became effective July 1, 1989. The TUMF program is a component of Measure
"A", a sales tax measure approved by the voters of Riverside County in November, 1988.
The following provisions from the TUMF Ordinance are provided as background information:
The provisions of this Ordinance shall apply only to new development yet to receive final
discretionary approval and or issuances of a building permit or other development right and to any
reconstruction or new use of existing buildings that results in a change of use and generates
additional vehicular trips. The provisions of this Ordinance took effect on July 1, 1989.
No tract map, parcel map, conditional use permit, land use permit or other entitlement shall
be approved unless payment of the mitigation fee is a condition of approval for any such
entitlement. The mitigation fee shall be paid to the applicable jurisdiction.
No building or similar permit, certificate of occupancy or business license reflecting a
change of use shall be issued unless the applicant has paid the mitigation fee.
Mitigation fees shall be imposed and collected by the applicable jurisdiction and shall be
transmitted to CVAG to be placed in the Coachella Valley Transportation Mitigation Trust Fund.
All interest or other earnings of the Fund shall be credited to the Fund.
An applicant who disputes the fee may file a written notice of appeal with the Executive
Committee of CVAG within 15 days of imposition of the fee. The Executive Committee of CVAG
must decide the appeal by majority vote and within 60 days of the filing of the appeal.

business establishments which is planned, developed, and managed as a unit. For the purpose
of the definition, a shopping center shall have at least three business establishments which may
be housed in one or more buildings. Further, a shopping center shall have a total building floor
area of at least 10,000 square feet, and the largest establishment shall not contain more than 50%
of the floor area. Shopping centers are considered retaiVservices for the purpose of calculating
TUMF if a business establishment otherthan a restaurant is specifically listed in the TUMF formula

12

assessment. Any restaurant use beyond the 25% will be assessed under the restaurant category.
Phased development of retail/services: if the retail/services project is to be developed in
phases, TUMF shall be calculated as follows:
First, find the total square footage of the entire project as it was approved by council, commission,
use permit, etc. Next, compute the TUMF based upon that total area at the applicable generation
rate. This is the maximum fee to be collected for the entire project.
For the first phase, compute its square footage. Compute the TUMF, based upon the area of that
phase, and collect that amount. Credit that amount against the maximum fee payable for the
entire project.
For the next phase, compute its square footage. Add that footage to the footage already issued
in the first phase. Compute the TUMF per 1000 square feet based upon that total area. Apply
that rate to the area of the second phase to compute the fee due from the second phase. Credit
that amount against the maximum fee payable for the entire project.
Continue this process for each phase, reducing the maximum fee by the amount collected from
each phase, until the maximum fee is collected in full. Phases coming in after the maximum fee
has been collected will not be charged a TUMF.
If the overall size of the project is increased before it is completely built out, then the maximum fee
computed in the first step would be increased accordingly.
If the overall size of the project is reduced, and the revised (reduced) project is approved by
council, commission, use permit, etc., then the maximum fee computed in the first step would be
decreased. In the event the TUMF, already paid by earlier phases built under the original project
approval exceeds the revised figure, then CVAG will refund the difference, without interest.
