From Purpose of Study: "The purpose of this study is to update the City's current TIF and to demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the calculated fee amount and the development land uses on which the fees are imposed, as required by AB 1600. The bill requires that all public agencies satisfy the following requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval for a development project: o Identify the purpose of the fee • Identify the uses to which the fee will be applied o Establish a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development on which the fee is assessed o Establish a relationship between the need for the facility and the type of development project on which the fee is assessed • Establish a reasonable relationship between the fee amount and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed." TIF funds can only be applied to projects listed in the nexus study. The Stoneridge NB I-680 lane is not listed in the 2010 study as an eligible project. It was included in the 1998 study, but a new nexus study was performed for 2010 which indicates it no longer qualifies. There is no mechanism for "rolling over" previously identified projects, except for Existing Deficiencies which are listed on page 3. Conclusion The city is proposing to use TIF funds that are intended for needed City-wide traffic improvements to fund improvements which are directly related to their project. This is an illegitimate use of TIF funds essentially diverting public money from needed city-wide projects to mitigate direct project impacts. Italics mine.
