Fee as Adopted by Resolution No. 11-96
FINANCIAL The amount of the Freeway Interchange Fee will increase
STATEMENT: gradually over time by an amount equal to the average
annual Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) interest rate
DESCRIPTION:
On January 23, 1996, the Council adopted a Resolution Establishing a Freeway Interchange Fee for
Future Developments within the Eastern Dublin Area (see Attachment 1). The purpose of the Fee was to
reimburse Pleasanton for the costs of making improvements to the interchanges on Interstate 580 at
Hacienda Drive and at Tassajara Road/Santa Rita Road that benefit development in both Pleasanton and
future development in Eastern Dublin. Pleasanton had already constructed the two interchanges and the
Fee would be imposed on new development in Eastern Dublin that benefits from the interchange
improvements to repay Pleasanton.
Resolution 11-96 provided that the Fee would not be effective until an agreement was entered into
between the City and the City of Pleasanton regarding transfer of the Fee revenues. The City Council
approved the agreement with Pleasanton at its October 6, 1998 meeting. That agreement provides for an
automatic escalator in the Fee. The reimbursement to Pleasanton was calculated in 1995 dollars. The
purpose of the automatic escalator is to reimburse Pleasanton with equivalent dollars. It is anticipated that
the application of an escalator will provide Pleasanton with equivalent dollars over time. This fee
escalator will also result in a more equitable distribution of responsibility for the fee by assuring that the
COPIES TO:
ITEM NO. ou °
G/cc-mtgs/98-gtr4/nov/ 11-3-98/as-freeway
fees paid by development in the future are roughly equivalent in value to the fees paid by development
today.
The average annual Local Agency Investment Fund interest rate ("LAIF Interest Rate") received
by the City on its funds was selected as the index for the automatic escalator. Staff believes that the LAIF.#
Interest Rate will provide Pleasanton with the portion of the initial funds it expended on the interchanges
which represents its development's share ($7,384,000), adjusted for the time value of money.
The draft resolution (Attachment 2) would amend the Freeway Interchange Fee to include an
automatic escalator in the amount of the LAIF Interest Rate. The first adjustment would be made on
September 1, 1999. No other changes to the Fee would be made.
Thus, for example, if the Base Fee in December 1998 is $21.46/single family unit and the LAIF
Interest Rate for 1998-99 is 5.8%, beginning September 1, 1999, the Fee will automatically increase to
$22.70 (Base Fee of$21.46 and Escalator Fee of$1.24). If the LAIF Interest Rate for 1999-2000 is again
5.8%, beginning September 1, 2000, the Fee will automatically increase to $24.02 (Base Fee of$21.46
and Escalator Fee of$2.56). And, if the LAIF Interest Rate for 2000-01 is again 5.8%, beginning
September 1, 2001, the Fee will automatically increase to $25.41 (Base Fee of $21.46 and Escalator Fee
of$3.95).
Staff recommends that the Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate and adopt the proposed
resolution (Attachment 2).

Adopt Resolution Establishing a Freeway Interchange Fee
for Future Developments within the Eastern Dublin Area.
This fee is proposed to collect $7,384,000 from future development
in the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment Area to repay the
City of Pleasant on for Pleasanton's advancing costs over its "fair
share" for the construction of two interchanges on I-580.
DESCRIPTION: In the early and mid-eighties, Pleasanton, through the funding of its
North Pleasanton Improvement District, constructed several freeway improvements which benefited
Dublin as well as Pleasanton. These include the interchanges at Hacienda Drive and at Tassajara/Santa
Rita Road with I-580, which were descirbed as existing improvements in the environmental impact repvrt
for the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan (SCH No. ~ 1.103064, pp. 3, 3-1)
Pleasanton had requested that Dublin pay its "fair share" of these improvements, as the improvements
would help Dublin's future eastern development to take place. The two cities undertook a benefit study in
1989 entitled the Dublin Extended Planning Area Infrastructure Study, prepared by John H. Heindel,
Consulting Civil Engineer (the "Heindel Study").
.----------------------------------------------------------------~--
COPIES TO:
g:\:1gcn misc\inlcrchg
ATTACHMENT 1
11. December of 1989, the Dublin City Council accepted the concept of assigning cost sharing on the basi.
of benefit to the traffic generated on both sides ofI-580 and determined that Dublin's contribution would
be subject to actual development taking place north ofI-580 and within Dublin. The Council also
determined that funding mechanisms be established within the Dublin Extended Planning Area. These
commitments were reaffirmed by the City Council in January of 1995 by Resolution No. 7-95.
Several meetings have been held with the property owners of the Eastern Dublin General Plan Area
regarding the method of funding this reimbursement. It was decided to establish a new traffic impact fee
specifically for the purpose of repaying Pleasanton. The consensus of the property owners at one of the
meetings was to update the Heindel Study but to cap the exposure to the previous estimate of $8.S million.
Staffhas now updated the study, based on the adopted General Plan and Specific Plan. Average daily
traffic assignments on the various interchange ramps were determined using the Tri-Valley Transportation
Commission Traffic Model for the Year 2010. The raw traffic information was then assembled into
tabular form to determine traffic percentages assigned to the various jurisdictions. The various costs and
cost estimates for the interchange improvements were assembled and the "fair share" costs for Dublin and
Pleasanton (Exhibit B of Resolution) were calculated based on the relative traffic assigned to each of the -
two jurisdictions. The cost split is based on the traffic from all areas of the two jurisdictions as that is the
w:y that the model was able to break down the traffic at these two interchanges; however, it should be
noted that the bulk of the traffic will be from and to the Eastern Dublin area and Pleasanton's eastern area
due to the proximity of the interchanges to these two developing areas. The result of the updated study is
that OV\'I1ers of property in the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment area should be required to pay e:::.
fees when they develop their proprety to generate funds to pay Pleasanton $7,384,000.
It is proposed that this fee use the same land use traffic generation factors and schedule as the existing
Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee (Resolution No. 95-1)" The proposed fee is based on the relative trip
generation for the various uses. The resulting fee for low (0 - 6 units/acre) and medium (6 - 14 units/acre)
density residential uses is $214.60 per unit, for medium~high density (14 - 25 units/ acre) is $150.22 per
unit, and for high density (over 25 units/acre) is $128.76 per unit. The fee is $21.46 per trip for non-
residential uses (see Exhibit "C" of proposed resolution).
Staff will need to do periodic review of the fee to see if the land use assumptions are following the
original General Plan and Specific Plan densities.
Once the fee is established, Dublin and Pleasanton will need to enter into an agreement to transrer the fees
from Dublin to Pleasanton.' . .
S,;'Jfrecommends that the City Council conduct a"public hearing, delibe"rate, and adopt the Resolution
Establishing a Freeway Interchange Fee for Future Developments within the Eastern Dublin Area.

which is attached hereto 'as Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, the Study sets forth the relationship between future development
in Eastern Dublin, the 1-580 Interchange Improvements, and the costs of the 1-580
Interchange Improvements; and
WHEREAS, the Study was available for public inspection and review for ten
(10) days prior to this public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The purpose of the Eastern Dublin 1-580 Interchange Fee (hereafter
"Fee") is to reimburse the City of Pleasanton for expenditures previously made for the
1-580 Interchange Improvements, which improvements have already been constructed
TIF Rosol
3
and are needed to reduce the traffic-related impacts which will be caused by future
development in Eastern Dublin. The 1-580 Interchange Improvements are
improvements to the Haci~nda Drive and Tassajara/Santa Rita Road interchanges
with Interstate 580 and are hereafter defined and referred to as "Improvements and
Facilities". The Improvements and Facilities are needed to accommodate new
development projected within Eastern Dublin along with existing and future
development in the City of Pleasanton and other development in the nearby vicinity,
including future development in Contra Costa County, and development within
Eastern Dublin will pay its fair proportional share of such Improvements and
Facilities with the implementation of this Fee.
B. The fees collected pursuant to this resolution shall be used to finance
the Improvements and Facilities.
C. After considering the Study, the Agenda Statement, the GPA, the SP,
the General Plan, the EIR and-Addenda, the Heindel Study, all correspondence
received and the testimony received at the noticed public hearing held on January 23,
1996 (hereafter the "record"), the Council approves and adopts the Study and
incorporates it herein, and further finds that future development in Eastern Dublin
will generate the need for, and will benefit from, the Improvements and Facilities and
the Improvements and Facilities are consistent with the GPA, the SP and the City's
General Plan.
D. The adoption of the Fee does not have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment because the 1-580 Interchange Improvements
are already existing improvements. The Council therefore determines that the
adoption of the Fee is not an activity which is subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act. This determination is made pursuant to CEQA
guidelines 99 15061 (b)(2) and (3) and 15273(a)(4) (Title 2, Calif. Code of
Regulations) and Public Resources Code 921080(b)(8)(D).

E. The record establishes:
I. That there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the
Improvements and Facilities and the impacts of the types of development for which
the corresponding fee is charged in that new development in Eastern Dublin -- both
residential and non-residential -- will generate traffic which contributes to the need
for, and benefits from, the Improvements and Facilities; and
2. That there is a reasonable relationship between the Fee's use (to
reimburse the City of Pleasanton for the construction of the Improvements and
Facilities) and the type of development for which the Fee is charged in that all
development in Eastern Dublin -- both residential and non-residential -- generates or
contributes to the need for the Improvements and Facilities; and
3. That there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the
Fee and the cost of the Improvements and Facilities or portion thereof attributable to
development in Eastern Dublif\ in that the Fee is calculated based on the number of
trips generated by specific types of land uses, the total amount it cost to construct
the Improvements and Facilities, and the percentage by which development vvithin
Eastern Dublin contributes to the need for the Improvements and Facilities; and
4. That the costs set forth in the Study are reasonable costs for
constructing the Improvements and Facilities, in that they are the actual costs and
the Fees expected to be generated by future development will not exceed the costs of
constructing the Improvements and Facilities; and
5. The method of allocation of the Fee to a particular development
bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each development's burden on, and benefit
from, the Improvements and Facilities, in that the Fee is calculated based on the
number of automobile trips each particular development will generate.

REPORT OF COST SHARlNG OF 1-580 INTERCHANGES
AT HACIENDA DRIVE AND AT TASSAJARAlSANTA RITA ROAD
(December 1995)
Prepared by Lee S. Thompson, City Engineer
City of Dublin
It is the intention of this study to establish the fair share costs between development within the Cities of
Dublin and Pleasanton for the construction of and improvements to interchanges w~th Interstate 580 at
Hacienda Drive and at Tassajara Road/Santa Rita Road.
The City of Pleasant on has already purchased right of way and constructed the basic improvements for the
two interchanges. Dublin will need to complete the two interchanges as development occurs in Eastern
L~blin, as the two interchanges will be needed to serve development in Eastern Dublin and were assumed
as existing improvements in the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan EIR (SCH
No. 91103064, page 3.3- I). Funding for the interchange completions is already included in the existing
Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee (Resolution No. 9S-1).
Dublin proposes to establish and levy an Eastern Dublin I~580 Interchange Fee for the purpose of
repaying Pleasanton for the amount of money over and above Pleasanton's "fair share" costs of the total
interchanges that Pleasanton has advanced based on the relative projected traffic from and to each
jurisdiction at the two interchanges in the Year 2010. The property owners in Eastern Dublin should not
ajay Pleasanton interest on the "advanced' money" inasmuch as Pleasanton has the benefit of the exclusive
~se of the interchanges until the Dublin development comes on line.
Following is the calculation for establishing reimbursement due Pleasanton from property owners in
Eastern Dublin of$7,384,000:
Assumptions
1) Cost split based on all of Dublin traffic vs. all of Pleasant on traffic
using the interchanges. (Note that the bulk of traffic using the two
interchanges will be from Eastern Dublin and Eastern Pleasanton and the
interchanges are required for the level of development approved by the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.)
2) Dublin and Pleasanton to pay 100% of costs based on their relative
share of the traffic using the interchanges.
3) Traffic split is based on TJKM analysis of the Barton-Aschman Tr;.
Valley traffic model nm for the Year 2010 (attached).
4) Pleasanton' s costs for constructing the interchanges (based on
Pleasanton cost breakdown):
Hacienda Interchange: $18,716,000
Tassajara/Santa Rita Interchange: 9.846.000
Total: $18,562,000
5) Dublin's future costs to complete interchanges already included in the
Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee Resolution 95-1 is $9,656,000.
6) Total project cost is therefore $38,218,000
.
Page 1
Exhibit B of Resolution No. 11-96
From TJKM analysis:
Pleasanton's share of total traffic using the Hacienda
Drive interchange
Dublin's share of total traffic using the Hacienda Drive
interchange
Other jurisdictions' traffic
Total:
.
46%.
36%
18%
100%
Therefore, with the assumption that 100% of the cost is
split between owners of property in the two jurisdictions,
the cost split for the Hacienda Drive interchange
calculates to be:
Pleasanton
Dublin
56.1%
43.9%
100.0%

. The fee will then be based on dividing the expected number of trips generated by the Eastern Dublin
.evelopment (344,078) into the total monies to be generated ($7,384,000) to obtain the fee per trip.
The 344,078 trips estimated is gene~ated from the Eastern Dublin General Plan/Specific Plan study of
346,525, modified slightly downward by redefining the density tiers for residential development from two
level~ to four levels and the resulting refinement of the traffic generated at these density levels.
The calculation is then:
$7.384.000
344,078 trips
=
$21.46 per trip
For residential units, the fee would be:
Residential Category
Low density (up to 6 units / acre)
Medium density (over 6 to 14 units / acre)
Medium high density (over 14 to 2S units/ acre)
High density (over 25 units / acre)
Non-residential uses (based on trip generation
schedule)

RESOLUTION NO. - 98
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
**************
RESOLUTION AMENDING FREEWAY INTERCHANGE FEE
AS ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO. 11-96
- WHEREAS, on January 23, 1996,the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11-96, establishing a
"Freeway Interchange Fee"for future developments with the Eastern Dublin Area; and
WHEREAS,the purpose of the Freeway Interchange Fee ("Fee") is to reimburse the City of
Pleasanton for expenditures previously made for the I-580 Interchange Improvements identified in
Resolution No. 11-96 (see Finding A of Resolution No. 11-96); and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 11-96 does not provide for an automatic annual increase in the
amount of the Fee; and
WHEREAS, the City of Pleasanton has proposed that the Fee be amended to include an automatic
escalator so that the amount of Fee revenues it receives as reimbursement will take into account the fact
that repayment will be with less valuable dollars over time; and
WHEREAS,the City Council desires to amend the Fee to increase the Fee by an automatic
escalator; and
WHEREAS,the purpose of this resolution is to amend the Fee so that it increases automatically on
an annual basis in an amount equal to the average annual Local Agency Investment Fund interest earned
by the City on its investment earnings for the preceding fiscal year;
NOW, THERE FORE,the City Council of the City of Dublin does RESOLVE as follows:
1. Automatic Escalator
The amount of the Fee, as shown on Exhibit C to Resolution No. 11-96, shall increase
automatically by an automatic escalator as follows: The automatic escalator shall result in an automatic
increase in the amount of the Fee each September 1 at a rate equivalent to the average annual Local
Agency Investment Fund ("LAIF") interest rate earned by the City of Dublin, as reported by the state
controller, for the preceding fiscal year. The average annual LAIF interest rate (the "LAIF Interest Rate")
shall be calculated by averaging the rates for the four quarters of the fiscal year. For example, if the
quarterly rates are 5.7%, 5.75%, 5.85% and 5.9%,the average annual interest rate will be 5.8%.
The automatic increase in the Fee shall be referred to as the "Escalator Fee" and the
amount of the Fee as established by Resolution No. 11-96 shall be referred to as the "Base Fee".
The first increase in the Fee shall occur on September 1, 1999. The City Manager shall
calculate the increase no later than September 1, 1999 and each year thereafter.
ATTACHMENT 2
The City Manager shall apportion each Fee dollar between the Escalator Fee and the Base
Fee.
2. No Other Changes to Fee
Except as provided in paragraph 1 above,there shall be no other changes in the Fee.
3. Effective Date of Automatic Escalator •
The automatic escalator described in paragraph 1 above shall be effective 60 days
following the date this resolution is adopted.
