19.06.040 - TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE RATE SCHEDULE AND ZONE
A. The TIF rate schedule shall be as shown in Table 1. A revised schedule shall be adopted each year by the City Council concurrent with, or subsequent to, the adoption of the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program for arterial streets. The Public Works Department shall present projects for adoption each year along with the estimated project costs. B. TIFs will be responsive to the cost of improvements included in the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program for arterial streets, and the type of development contemplated. C. For purposes of this ordinance, the City is comprised of one transportation impact fee zone as set forth in Table 1. "Transportation Impact Fee Worksheet" incorporated herein by this reference. A TIF rate is identified for one peak hour project trip for each land use type classified in the ITE Trip Generation Manual. D. The TIF rate shall be determined by the computerized Travel Demand Forecast Model. A basic fee shall be established for one peak hour project trip. The total TIF is determined using the ITE Trip Generation Manual and the land use designation by the development to determine the total number of peak hour project trips generated by the development. The TIF shall be equivalent to the TIF rate multiplied by the number of peak hour project trips. E. To further implement the infill land use strategy and multimodal transportation goals and policies of the Bellingham Comprehensive Plan, new development and redevelopment in Urban Villages with adopted master plans or mixed use urban development center zoning, are eligible for Vehicle Trip Reduction Credits listed in Exhibit A: Table 2. "Urban Village Vehicle Trip Reduction Credits." Auto-oriented commercial and drive-through are not eligible. [Ord. 2011-01-003; Ord. 2006-11-106; Ord. 2006-03-021]
