BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Based on actions taken by each respective City Council on November
6, 1989, the City of Tustin and Santa Ana entered into a Joint
Powers Agreement which created a Transportation System Improvement
Authority. The purpose of said Agreement is for Santa Ana and
Tustin to jointly develop and maintain a program for transportation
system improvements in certain Transportation System Improvement
Program (TSIP) Areas referred to as TSIP Area A and B, to
comprehensively identify all needed transportation system
improvements and their priority in each TSIP Area, to determine the
appropriate developer fees to finance said improvements, and to
control the expenditure of appropriate development fee revenues for
areawide transportation improvements which benefit each respective
TSIP Area.
Environmental Impact reports and preliminary traffic studies within
each TSIP Area indicated critical deficiencies in the circulation
system serving each TSIP Area which could not be corrected hot
fully funded from traditional revenue sources without the financial
assistance of developing properties. Another alternative is to
assign each developer mitigating improvements on a case by case
basis. However, critical deficiencies are areawide improvements
and this would prove difficult to assign or complete in pieces.
A partial list of improvements prepared by the City of Santa Ana
in the vicinity of TSIP A identifies that over twenty-two million
dollars in areawide traffic improvements are needed benefitting
both cities which include the widening of Grand Avenue on the east
side between First and Fourth Streets, the widening of First Street
and Fourth Street at the Costa Mesa Freeway and intersection

improvements at Fourth and Yorba, and Tustin Avenue and Seventeenth
Street.
Preliminary transportation system improvement costs in TSIP Area
B within the City of Tustin can be expected to exceed twenty
million dollars, which includes the extension of Newport Avenue,
extension of Tustin Ranch Road and construction of an overpass at
Edinger, widening of Edinger and Red Hill and extension of Jamboree
Road to Barranca.
since future developments within prescribed TSIP Areas will benefit
from construction of transportation system improvements, it was
determined that future~devel°pment should pay a portion of these
cit Allowing future development within each TSIP
costs in the Y' - '--~-~s toward funding needed
' t developer
A~ea _w~hou ..... in4urious to the public safety,
circulation Improvements would be ~ f the approved Joint
health and welfare. As a result, Section 3 o
Powers Agreement legally obligates the city of Tustin to adopt by
January 1, 1990 the following interim Transportation System
improvement Development Fees:
TSIP A
2% of the cost of construction
TSIP Area B
_
An amount based on the square footage of added gross floor
area by land use as follows:
Commercial/office $2.60 per square foot of
building floor area
R&D
$1.80 per square foot of
building floor area
industrial
$1.00 per square foot of
building floor area
Upon completion of comprehensive traffic studies within each TSIP
Area within approximately 180 days the TSIP Authority may recommend
modifications to the interim fee program to reflect the adopted
TSIP for each TSIP Area. Any future fee increases would require
future City Council action.

Payment of the Development Fee would be required for any
construction or improvement project which would result in a new
building or structure or an increase in floor area within a TSIP
Area provided said improvements exceed $20,000 in value. Fees
would not be required for construction of single family residential
units and accessory structures, tenant improvements which will not
increase floor area, off-street parking facilities and any
construction for which a fee may not be lawfully imposed by State
law.
As noted above, the City of Tustin is now legally obligated to
adopt a Transportation System Improvement Fee Program. If the City
does not adopt the prescribed fee program identified above,
provisions contained in the Joint Powers Agreement would require
the City to pay the TSIP Authority the amount of the otherwise
required Development Fee out of City General Funds.
In compliance with provisions of the recently adopted JPA, staff
have prepared an enabling ordinance and accompanying resolution
which would designate certain TSIP Areas and set actual development
fees in each TSIP area.
Ordinance No. 1037 would add Section 8101 k. to the Tustin City
Code which would establish the authority of the City Council to
create TSIP Areas and authorize the City Council to establish fees
by resolution that developers must pay for transportation
improvements located in or benefitting a TSIP Area. Resolution No.
89-165 would establish TSIP Area A and B as shown on Exhibit A
accompanying the Resolution. Area A is located in the northwest
portion of the City north of the I-5 freeway, west of a portion of
Newport Avenue and Prospect Avenue. Area B is located in the
southerly portion of the City, south of the I-5 freeway.
Development Fees would be collected as of January 1, 1990 and would
be required to be in effect pursuant to the JPA as noted above.

CONCLUSION
Provisions of the recently approved JPA between Santa Ana and
Tustin legally obligate the City to have in place Transportation
System Improvement Program Development Fees by January 1, 1990.
Attached for the City Council is a recommended enabling ordinance
for introduction on November 20, 1989 and Resolution establishing
TSIP Area A and B and setting the Development Fee for each area for
adoption on December 4, 1989.
