b. The city council shall make a reasonable estimate of the total costs necessary to construct, renovate, or provide the transportationtraffic improvements. c. The city council shall estimate the current and anticipated funding available to satisfy the costs of constructing and implementing the transportationtraffic improvements. In determining the amount of funding available, the city council shall include funding from other governmental entities to the extent the receipt by the city of such funding is reasonable, and city revenues appropriated for construction or implementation or transportationtraffic improvements, if any. d. The city council shall attribute the need for the transportationtraffic improvements between new development and existing development. e. The city council shall determine the difference, if any,between the estimated costs of the construction and implementation of the transportationtraffic improvements and the estimated funding available therefor. The extent to which the cost of such construction and implementation exceeds the funds available, or expected to be available, therefor shall be the "net transportation traffic improvement costs." 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 Section 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 subsection (A)(2)(a) of this section 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 transportationtraffic development fee rate shall be subject to an annual inflation adjustment on January 1st 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. The amount of the fee shall be determined by the building division prior to issuance of the building permit, based upon the type and number of residential units, or upon the amount of gross square footage for commercial, office/retail, and industrial/warehouse development, and the corresponding rate set forth in the master fee schedule (on file in the office of the city clerk). 1. If a developer is not satisfied with the calculation of the fee by the building division, he or she may request that the traffic manager engineer review the peak hour trips generated and/or community development director review the gross square footage and land use category to determine the fee in accordance with this chapter. The traffic manager engineer and/or community development director 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 transportation 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 engineer pursuant to Section 3.26.020(K) of this chapter. 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 engineer determines are sufficient to establish the peak hour trip rate applicable to the development. The developer may also
