Staff presented the initial Transportation Impact Fee Project List to the City Council <br />on January 8, 2024. <br />The City’s proposed updated Transportation Impact Fee Project List (Attachment B) indicates potential <br />investments, including general project location, estimated size, estimated cost, and timeline. The <br />proposed updated Transportation Impact Fee Project list amends the prior list to include additional traffic <br />calming, safe routes to schools, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements that are included within the <br />Citywide Transportation Plan (RWCMoves) that may now be funded in light of additional grant funds <br />received for projects on that were on the existing TIF Project List. <br /> <br />EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT <br /> <br />Parks: Redwood City’s current parkland ratio is 2.25 acres per 1,000 residents, which is below the City’s <br />adopted parks service standard. Access to parkland and amenities is not equitably distributed throughout <br />the City.   The Parks Impact Fee Project List highlights the need for the City to acquire additional parkland <br />to serve neighborhoods which have less than the standard acres per 1,000 residents, and the need to add <br />new recreational amenities to improve access for underserved neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Transportation: The Transportation Project List contains multi-modal, traffic operation, and roadway <br />improvement projects that support both the Housing Element and the Citywide Transportation Plan <br />(RWCMoves) goals and policies for prioritizing infrastructure investment within Equity Priority <br />Communities. Performance Measure 9 of the RWCMoves Plan states “Accommodates All Users, Including <br />People with Disabilities, Low-Income, and the Young and Elderly, with Equal Access to Goods and Services” <br />placing the highest priority on equity. The Transportation Project list includes numerous Complete Street <br />projects, pedestrian and bicycle projects, and the Hwy 84/101 Reimagined Project, to improve safety and <br />accessibility, along with improving neighborhood connectivity and mobility within equity priority areas of <br />the City. <br /> <br />Both the Parks Project List and Transportation Project List foster positive outcomes for equity priority <br />communities. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with accepting the Parks and Transportation Impact Fee Project Lists. <br />Imposition of impact fees provides a critical funding source for projects on the Parks and Transportation <br />Impact Fees Project Lists to address impacts associated with new development. <br /> <br />7.A. - Page 3 of 27 <br />39
