EASTERN DUBLIN TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE
ADMINISTRATIVE GillDELINES
Revision Adopted Resolution # 20-07 (2/20/2007)
I. Introduction/Oveniew
These guidelines apply to the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fees (hereafter known as the 'Fee'
or 'Fees') adopted by the City of Dublin through Resolution 111-04 and any subsequent
replacement .resolution. The Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee includes three categories of
improvements and facilities.
. Section I improvements and facilities are those located exclusively in the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan area. .
. Section II improvements and facilities are those projects to which Eastern Dublin developers
contribute a proportionate share, including projects located in other areas of the City.
. Section II Residential BART Garage improvements include 500 spaces in Phase I of the
Eastern Dublin BART garage, necessitated by residential development outside the Transit
Center.
. Section III improvements and facilities are those of a regional natme.
(NOTE: Section III Fee suspended effective September 12,1998, as long as Tri-Valley
TranspOltation Development Fee remains ih place.)
The administrative guidelines provide procedures for calculation of the Fee, calculation and use
of credits and reimbursements, and other administrative aspects of the Fee. In addition, the
guidelines include procedures for construction of designated facilities by developers
The administrative guidelines establish the authority for providing credits and/or reimbursements
to developers who construct aneVor dedicate any of the improvements and facilities for which the
Eastern Dubliri Traffic Impact Fee is imposed (TIP facilities). When such public improvements
and facilities are constructed and/or dedicated by a developer, the developer shall be given a
credit to be applied against the Fees due for the developmentproject. The amOlmt of the credit
shall be determined pursuant to Section VI of these guidelines. If the amount of the credit is
greater than the Fees due for the development project, the developer may use the credittoward
the Fees for another development project or transfer the credit to another eligible developer in
Eastern Dublin in accordance with these guidelines. If the cleveloper cannot use or transfer the
credit within ten years, then the credit \vill convert to a reimbursement right. At the end of the
ten-year period, the developer may elect to extend the credit t<.)r an additional five years. The
combination of credit ancl reimbursement rights will terminate twenty-tlve years after the
etIective clate of the agreement creating such rights.
The administrative guidelines also establish the authority for the distribution of monies collected
under "Section II Residential BART Garage".
The application of these guidelines will at times refer to various reference documents adopted by
the City of Dublin. These documents include the City's General Plan, the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan, the most recent Traffic Impact Fee Study, ancI various other fee studies and
Eastem Dublin Traffic Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines Reso 20-07 (2/20/2007)

updates. Such reference documents are subject to change and may atlect the application ofthese
guidelines.
II. Authorit). of CitJ M.mager to Interpret Situations Not Covered
Should situations arise not covered by these guidelines, the City Manager willlw\e the authority
to detennine how the resolutions, ordinances,. guidelines and agreements will be administered.
Such interpretations by the City Manager will be in \\Titing
Ill. Fee Calculation
A. Imposition of Fees
Except as exempted under subsection n of this section, Fees are imposed on all
development in Eastern Dublin as described below
1. All new development, including new construction of anv building or structure
(residential or non-residential):
2. Additions to non-residential buildings or stl1lctures which result in an increase of
500 square feet or more:
3. Additions to residential buildings or structures which increase the number of units
(i.e. construction of a "granny unit'').
The Administrative Services Department serves as the lead department to gather and
coordinate the information necessary to calculate the Fee. The Conununity Development
Department is responsible for detennining the intended land use. The Public Works
Department is responsible for determining the number of vehicle trips a.ssigned to the
project Unless otherwise provided, the Fee will be collected with the payment for the
building pennit for the development project
B. Effective Fees
The Fees owed by a development project will be those in dIect \\hen the building permit
is obtained. This section shall be applicable whether the fees are paid in cash or a credit
is used.
C. Basis for Calculating Fees
The Fees tl1f residential development projects will be calculated based upon the per unit
fee for each of the categories noted in Resolution 111-04 (i.e. Low Density Residential,
Medium Density Residential, Medium/High Density Residential, High Density
Residential) and/or any subsequent replacement resolution.
The Fees tl1f non-residential development are calculated on a per average weekday
vehicle trip basis. The number of average weekday vehiele. trips tl)f each type of
development is determined by the land use categories specified in "Exhibit C" of
Resolution 111-04. However. if the Public Works Director determines that the land use
of the development proiect is not appropriatelv reHected in Exhibit C to the Resolution or
that the intensitv of the proposed land use is not consistent with the adopted land use
cateQories in Exhibit C. then tbe Public Works Director will have the option of requiring
Eastem Dublin Tramc Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines Reso 20-07 (2/20/2007)
Page 3 of 13
a traffic analvsis or utilizing an existing, relevant studv for the pUlpose of determining the
estimated trip generation of the proposed development proiect The Public Works
Director will require that anv new tratlic analvsis costs bv bome bv the applicant l(~e~s __ _ --
for non-residential development will be charged for any addition to an existing building
or structure if the addition exceeds 500 square feet
For mixed-use non-residential development projects. the Conununity Development
Director, upon consultation with the Public Works Director, will detelmine the proJected
percentage of each use at the time the Final Map or other appropriate entitIement is
approved.' The Fee will be calculated on a pro-rata basis among the various rates stated
for each different use (For example, a large single building could be divided between
conunercial otfice space and industrial warehouse space). If tIle uses are unknO\\U at tIle
time of obtaining a building permit and tIle building pennit does not include adequate
interior details to detennine tIle intended use, the use for the initial Fee calculation
purposes will be assumed as "Industrial witIlout Retail". Any additional Fees owed as a
result of a ditlerent final use of fue propelty will be calculated and 'collected a t the time
tIlat a building pennit is issued for interior tenant inlprovements. Tllis fee calculation
shall be at the rate in effect at tIle tinle tIle building permit for tenant improvements is
issued. No refund of Fees will be given if the resulting uses are difterent from tIle
projected land use.
The average weekday trip generation rate for quasi-public uses, wllich is not
'appropriately retlected on the "Estimated Weekday Vehicle Trip Generation Rate"
schedule tIlat was adopted as part of tIle Traffic Impact Fee Resolution (Ex/libit C to
Resolution 111-(4), as detelmined by tIle Public Works Director, will be established by a
prl:iect specific traffic study Tllis study \vill be conducted by tIle City (Public Works
Department) and paid for by the project applicant Affordable housing projects
developed by govenunent agencies and non-profit entities will be subject to the same
Fees tIlat are assessed on private residential development
D. Exemptions
1. Total Exemption. TIle following types of development will be exempt from tIle
collection of Traffic Impact Fees:
a) Any alteration or addition to a residential stmcture, except to tIle extent
tIlat a residential unit is added to a single-family unit, or anotIler unit is
added to an existing multi -tamily building.
b) Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing residential structure tIlat
has been destroyed or demolished, provided tIlat tIle building permit for
reconstruction is obtained witIlin one year atter tIle building was destroyed
or demolished, unless tIle replacement or reconst.ruction increases tIle
square footage of the stmcture 50% or more.
c) Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing non-residential stmcture
tIlat has been destroyed or demolished provided that tIle building pelmit
fix ne\v reconstmction is obtained witllin one year atter tile building was
destroyed or demolished and tile reconstructed building would not
Deleted: ,However. if the Public WorL~ Director
determines that the land use of the development
project is not appropriately reflected on "'Exhlbit C'"
of Resolution 111-04, then the Public \'ilorks
Department will lluclel1ake a specific traffic study. to
be paid for by the applic<:Ult. for the purp'ose ,of
determining Ule estillwted trip generation of the
proposed development project

IV. Fee Collection
A. Payment of Traffic Impact Fees for Non-Residential Development
The Trame Impact Fee far nan-residential develapment will be due and payable at the
issuance 0.1' a building pennit and will be callected by the Building & Safety Divisian.
The number 0.1' estimated average weekday vehicle trips, detennined as described in
Sectio.n III.c, abavc, multiplied by the nan-residential fee per trip, will be the basis far
the co.llected Fee. The square t\.)atage or ather apprapriate measure as identitied an the
building permit \\'ill be the basis t\')1" detennining the number 0.1' trips an "Exhibit C" 0.1'
Resalutian 111-04. Fallawing is an exaniple:
Non-Residential Fee Example: Assume that the develapment pnz;ect is a 15,540
square fo.at standard cammercial affice building. The estimated weekday vehicle
uip generatian rate t\')1" this type 0.1' develapment is 20 u'ips per 1.000 square feet,
and the Fee is $360 per u'ip t\')1" nan-residential develapment FEE
CALCULATION: 15,540 square feet/l,OOO square feet = 15.54 x 20 u'ips =
310.8 hips x $360 per u'ip = $111,888 Traffic Impact Fee.
Amendments to. a nan-residential building permit which result in 500 additianal square
feet or more shall result in additianal fees awed based an the added area.
B. Payment of Traffic Impact Fees for Residential Development
If the City incorparates the facilities described in Resalutian 111-04 into. its annually
adapted lang-tenn Capital Impravement Plan (ClP), then the Traffic Impact Fees fo.r
residential develo.pment will be due and payable at the issuance af a building permit
Prior to. the incorparatian 0.1' these facilities into. the CIP, the Fee will nat be due until the
dwelling is issued a certificate o.f o.ccupancy. The develaper may vo.hmtarily pay the full
fee when the building permit is issued 0.1' as atherwise appropriate under applicable law.

payee as the entity or person whose name appears as the applicant tl1I the building permit
The Finance Division will maintain the records for a period of ten years from their
collection, unless a legal mandate exists for a longer retention.
V. Allotment of Developer Fee Credits
The City understands the practicality of having developers constmct and/or contribute some of
the TIF facilities described in Resolution 111-04 and any subsequent replacement resolution.
For tillS reason, tile City will.allot tee credits against the collection of Fees for constructing or
contributing TIF facilities.
A. Fee Credit I Reimbursement Agreement Required
The allotment of tee credits and/or provision tl1I a reimbursement will only occur in
accordance WitII a \\Titten credit/reimbursement agreement between tile City and the

These guidelines do not apply to existing fee credits to which the Alameda County
Surplus Property Authority is entitleclllllclei' the terms of the Agreement between the City
of Dublin, tile City of Pleasanton, the County of Alameda and the Smplus Property
Authority regarding coordination of certain Freeway Improvements dated March 12,
1991.
These gmdelines do apply to existing fee crcdits to which the Alamcda County Surplus
Property Authority is entItled under development agreements entered into between
January 1, 1995 and tile effective date of these guidelines, to the extent provided for in a
specitic fee credit/reimbursement agreement to be entered into behveen the City and the
Alameda County Surplus Propelty authority.
VI. Calculating the Fee Credits
For calculation purposes, the fee credits will be segregated into the following categories:
Section I Eastem Dublin Tramc Improvements
Section II (Excludes Section II Resid"nti31 B3rt G3rag"): Citywide Tramc Improvements
Section III Regional Transportation
Eastem Dublin Trat1lc Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines Reso 20-07 (2/20/2007)
Page 7 of 13
(Note: Section III Fee suspended etfective September 12, 1998, as long as Tri-Vallev
Transportation Development Fee remains in place)
A. General
The fee credit/reimbursement agreement will idcntit~. thc total credit by category for TIP
facilities constructed or right of way dedicated for a particular development project The
contributed land or improvements must be the tacilities described in Resolution 111-04
and/or any subsequent replacement resolution. There must be a minimum value of
$50,000 in inlprovements and/or right of way dedicated before credits will be allotted to a
developer.
B. Determination of Value
The Public Works Director will detennine the \~alue of the contributed tacilities based
upon improvement plans submitted by the developer and approved by the City, which
plans shall quantify the size of the TIP tacilities to be constructed or dedicated. It is
recognized that in some cases the scope of construction or dedication will not exactly
match segments shO\m in the TIP RepOli.
The credits will be the lesser of the following: a) the estimated cost of the improvements
as noted in Resolution 111-04 and/or any subsequent replacement resolution: oi' b) the
pro-rated value of the improvement using the standard cost measurements in Resolution
111-04 and/or any subsequent replacement resolution. The fee credits cannot exceed the
cost estimates of the improvements in the most recent fee study and resolution. In no
case shall the fee credits include tacility financing costs.
Illustrative Example J: Assume that a developer dedicates land t<.1r the partial
widening of a major street to offset the Traffic Impact Fees due from a
development project To quality for a credit, this roadway widening prl~iect must
be included in the TIP. The land dedication to be applied for a fee credit shall not
include improvements inunediately adjacent to the development project, as these
improvements are entirely the responsibility of the developer and are not to be
funded by the Trat1lc Impact Fee. Resolution 111-04 used a standard cost
measurement of $7 per square foot t<.)t' right-of-way dedication in calculating the
Traffic Impact Fees. The fee credits due to the developer can be calculated by
detennining the square footage of the land to be dedicated multiplied by this per
square foot cost measurement .
Illustrative Example 2: A developer constructing single tinnily homes contributes
traffic signal improvements (Category I improvement) valued at $200,000.
Assmne that the Traffic Impact Fee totals $6,950 per home, which is comprised of
the Category I portion 01'$4,700 and the Category 2 pOltion 01'$2,250. The credit
of $200,000 can only be used against the developer's Category 1 Fee of $4,700
per home, which will cover approximately 42.55 homes. When the building
permit is issued tor the 431t! home, the developer will have used up the credit and
will have to begin paying the Category I Fee. The Category 2 pOltion of the Fee
must be paid at the issuance of each building pennit tCl!" all homes included in the
Eastem Dublin Tratlic Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines Reso 20-07 (2/20/2007)
Page 8 of 13
development, as the CategOlY I credit cannot be used to offset these pOltions of
the Fee.
VII. Use of Fee Credits
A Credits expire when used or ten years from the date of the credit/reimbursement
agreement (unless extended an additional tive years at the request of the credit holder),
whichever occurs tlrst.
B. In the event the fee credits are unused following ten years liorn the date of the
credit/reunbursement agreement (or fifteen years if extended at the request of the credit
holder), the fee credit shall conveJt to a reimbursement right as provided tl)r under
Section X and XI of these guidelines. -
C. The value of the credits in each category will be listed in the agreement and trackcd by
fee category as they are used by the developer. The City's Finance Division will keep
record of the unused credits and provide this infol1nation to the Buildmg Safety Division
at the tune fee credits are used.
D. Credits earned by constructing or dedicating a certain category of improvements can only
be used to offset fees for that categOlY. The balance of the Tramc Impact Fee, which is
to be used tl1r other categories of improvcments, will be paid by the developer as
specified in Section IV of these guidelines. Fee credits will not be mixed between the fee
categories For example, unused credits from Category 1 pOltion of the Tratllc Impact
Fees cannot be used to offset amounts due tl)r Category 2 and Category 3.
E. Only the developer who builds or dedicates the TIF facilities will be entitled to tlle
original or initial credits, until such time as tlley mav be transferred in accordance with
tllese guidelines.
VIII. Use of Fee Credits requires Completion of Facility or Perform.mce Bonds
Fee credits cannot be used by tlle developer until the developer has eitller
Dedicated the land or improvements representing the credits to the City: or
2. Provided tlle City Witll a pertl)l1nanCe bond and labor and materials bonds or otller
adequate security to insure tllat the unprovements will be constructed prior to the first
Certiticate of Occupancy for any building that is a part of tlle project. The pertlmnance
bond or otller security shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the engineer's estimated
cost to construct the improvements and tlle lalx1r and materials bond shall be in an
amount equal to 50% of tlle engineer's estunate. The bonds shall be written by a surety
licensed to conduct business in the State of California and approved by the City's City
Manager.
Eastem Dublin Tramc Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines Reso 20-07 (2/20/2007)
Page 9 of 13
Illustrative Example: Assume a developer is in the midst of cOlupleting certain
street improvements, which will be dedicated to the Ci ty to otlset a portion of the
Traffic Impact Fee. The developer supplies the City with a right-of-way
conveyance, a pert()lmanCe bond and a labor and materials bond t\.1r the
completion of the street improvements Fee credits can be used in advance of
completing the improvements, since the City is assured that the land will be
dedicated and the improvements will be completed.
IX. Tnmsferring of Credits
A. The original holder of credits can request a transfer of credits to a person owning an
interest in property that is subject to the same category. of TraHic Impact Fee. Such
transactions shall be subject to an administrative transter tee, which shall cover the City's
administrative costs associated with the credit transter. The administrative transter fee
shall be established in the City's Master Fee Schedule.
B. There is no limit on the number of times that credits can be transterred between
developments.
X. Reimbursement Rights
(Sections I & IT - Excluding Section II Residential BART Garage)
Reimbursement rights are created from the conversion oftee credits, which occurs ten years after
the initial date of the credit/reimbursement agreement creating the fee credit (unless the credits
have been extended an additional tive years at the request of the credit holder). Reimbursement
rights are subject to the following specific guidelines:
A. The reimbursement rights shall expire nventy.. fi ve years after t.he initial da te of the credit/
reimbursement agreement creating the tee credit.
B Reimbursement will be only from funds collected as Eastem Dublin Tratllc Impact Fees
or from tees collected by Conlra Cosla County and paid to Dublin t\.1r any improvements
also included in the Eastern Dublin Tramc Impact Fee, and will not come from the City's
General Fund.
C. The City will detennine the amount of funds available t\.)f reimbursement in each of the
categories on an annual basis
D The procedure tor prioritizing reimbursements is described in Section XI of these
guidelines.
XI. Process for Reimbursement of Reimbursement Rights
A. Determina tion of FUIlds A vaila ble tl.)f Reimbursement
Within 0180 days of the end of each tlscal year, the Administrative Services Department
will make an accounting of all Tramc Impact Fees collected t\.1r the tlscal year that just
ended. The Administrative Services Dep31tment will also determine the amount of
Tramc Impact Fee funds that are unspent and unencumbered as of the close of the fiscal
year. For funds that are unspent and unencumbered in each fee category, the City will
allocate the necessary amOlmt to be used to finance needed TIP facilities tl.)f the
upcoming t~scal year ancVor to repay amounts due on outstanding loans t\.)f previously
Eastem Dublin Tratlic Impact Fee Administrative Guidelines Reso 20-07 (2/20/2007)
Page 10 ofl3
constructed TIF facilities. The remaining funds (the reimbursement set-aside) will be
used to reimburse holders of reimbursement 'rights for facilities already contributed, if
any such reimbursement rights exist.
B. Allocating the Reimbursement Set-Aside to Outstanding Reimbursement Rights
In the event that the City designates that a reimbursement set-aside is available, tifty
percent will be used to pa y the oldest reimbursement right outstanding. If the oldest right
IS paid otT before tilis portion of funds is entirely consumed, tilen the balance of tile 50%
will go toward tile next oldest right. This portion of reimbursement set-aside funds will
be allocated according to this 'metilod until it is exhausted The otiler half of the
reimbursement set aside will be allocated to all reimbursement rights on a pro-rata basis
according to tileir amounts outstanding, including the remaining unreimbursed portion of
tile oldest agreement. Unused reimbursement set-aside hmds will not be canied over to
anotiler tlscal year The following example illustrates tilis allocation
Illustrative Example: During one fiscal year, the City collects $88,000 in Fees for
a celtain category of improvements. The total outstanding reimbursements owed
are $100,000 to the following developers:
Developer A (tile oldest agreement)
Developer B:
Developer C:
$50,000
$20,000
$30,000
For tile upcoming tiscal year, the City retains $44,000 for improvements not built
by developers and allocates $44,000 as the reimbursement set-aside to reduce
CUlTent reimbursement obligations. $22,000 (50% of tile $44,0(0) of the
reimbursement set-aside is used to pay Developer A, who holds the oldest
agreement. Developer A now has $28,000 of outstanding reimbursements
(Beginning balance of $50,000 less the $22,000 payment) The other half of the
reimbursement set-aside ($22,clOO) is allocated proportionally to all tirree parties
who cUITentiy hold reimbmsement rights as follows:

BART Garage Costs (Section II Residential BART Garage)
Payment of Section II Rcsidcntial BART Garage Fees can occur upon completion of phase I of
the parking garage and surface parking inunediately adjacent to tile new garage at the eastern
. Dublin / Pleasanton Bi\RT Station, consisting of approximately 1,706 parking spaces, and tile
availability of the BART Garage for public use. Payment shall be made to the Alameda County
