Ordinance No. 1765 Page 11 2. Total Peak Hour Trips. a. The total gross square footage or dwelling unit count, as the case may be, of potential new development within each land use category as projected to occur during the period of build-out under the General Plan shall be multiplied by the peak hour rate for each land use category established pursuant to § 3.26.020.H. of this Chapter. b. The peak hour trips generated by potential new development within each land use category as determined pursuant to subdivision (A)(2)(a) of this subsection shall be added together to determine the total additional peak hour trips created by new development which the City's transportation system must accommodate upon build-out under the General Plan. B. Annual Adjustment of the Rate. The traffic development fee rate shall be subject to an annual inflation adjustment on January 1 of each year based upon the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco - Bay Area. 3.26.050 Amount of Fee A.

Ifa developer is not satisfied with the calculation of the fee by the Building Department, s/he may request that the Traffic Manager review the peak hour trips generated and/or Director of Planning and Community Development review the gross square footage and land use category to determine the fee in accordance with this Chapter. The Traffic Manager and/or Director of Planning and Community Development shall calculate the fee within 30 days of the submission of a written request for review, and receipt of all materials necessary to determine the amount of the fee. 2. Because the fee for commercial uses has been established based upon an average for several types of commercial uses, the developer may only petition for a review of the commercial traffic development fee to be charged to its development based upon a peak hour trip rate which is substantially different from that established by the City's Traffic Manager pursuant to § 3.26.020.K. Such application shall include a traffic study contracted for by the City, and paid for by the developer, or such other reports and analyses in lieu thereof as the City Traffic Manager determines are sufficient to establish the peak hour trip rate applicable to the development. The developer may also submit additional information which the City Traffic Manager shall consider insofar as s/he
