  • Abstract:
    The City of Lacey rewrote the ordinance governing collection of fees to mitigate

    development impacts on the transportation system. Previously developers

    submitted traffic generation and distribution reports prepared by qualified

    traffic engineers. The impacts were reviewed and the mitigation required at

    each site in the City were iteratively negotiated. This process required

    substantial investment by the developer and the City. Funds collected could

    only be used on the specific project for which they were collected.

    In developing a new ordinance, the City requested public input. Roundtable

    discussions included builders and developers. The application of mitigation fee

    formulas to commercial and residential projects, as well as trip generation and

    distribution methodology, were discussed in these sessions.

    The final ordinance included trip generation reductions for commercial property

    and a per trip mitigation fee cap for residential properties. The ordinance

    also allows the City to pool money from various projects for a single project

    under certain circumstances, and mitigation fees can be collected for projects

    already built until the project costs are fully amortized. An additional result

    of the roundtable discussions is that the City developed a trip distribution map

    for each Traffic Analysis Zone(TAZ). A proposed development can use this

    distribution to be negotiated as was done under the previous ordinance.

    All of these tools are based on existing information. Trip distributions were

    plotted using the City's transportation model assembled as part of the

    Transportation Comprehensive Plan. All projects to be mitigated are listed in

    the city's Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan.
