A suggested means of financing the circulation improvements is the imposition of a development fee and contributions from the Redevelopment Agency. Austin-Foust Associates proposed the following fee schedule for developments within Specific Plan No. 7 area, which would generate $6,760,000, or approximately one-half of the cost of public improvements: Commercial/office $2.60 per sq.ft, of building floor area R & D $1.80 per sq.ft, of building floor area Industrial $1.00 per sq.ft, of building floor area Developers requiring discretionary action (i.e., Pacific Bell) have consented to the payment of transportation improvement fees. Other projects are pending which do not require discretionary action of the city and there is no existing authority to require the payment of transportation improvement fees. DISCUSSION: Presently under consideration is the preparation and adoption of Specific Plan No. 7, the South/Central Redevelopment Project Amendment, a Circulation Element of the General Plan, and the Bridges and Thoroughfare Fee Program. However, it appears that it will require six months to complete the pending actions. Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any use which may be in conflict with a contemplated specific plan. The ordinance must be adopted by a 4/5 vote of the Council and is valid for 45 days. The ordinance may be extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days after the Council gives notice and conducts a public hearing. Ordinance No. 930 has been prepared as an urgency ordinance which would require a finding of the Planning Commission that a proposed development within the area of Specific Plan No. 7 is in conformance with the Specific Plan and that contribution has been made to a Circulation Improvement Fund in accordance with the schedule of fees, as a condition of the issuance of a building permit. ,City Council Report Specific Plan No. 7 page two The proposed ordinance would not establish a moratorium on development but would require the Planning Commission to review all proposed developments within the area and enable the collection of fees for transportation improvements. RECO~E#OED ACTION: 1. The adoption of Ordinance No. 930 as an urgency ordinance. 2. Authorize staff to advertise a public hearing for the extension of the ordinance beyond the 45 day limit for a period of 10 months and 15 days while Specific Plan No. 7 is undergoing review and adoption.
