BACKGROUND The City of Pleasanton is a member of the Tri -Valley Transportation Council (TNTC), a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) in which participating jurisdictions have adopted the Tri -Valley Transportation Development (TVTD) Fee for developments located in their jurisdictions. When granting a land use entitlement for new development, the TVTD Fee is collected, transmitted to the TNTC, and ultimately used for regional transportation projects as provided in the TNTC JPA. The TNTC has historically imposed the TVTD Fee on Accessory Dwelling Units and Second Dwelling Units. The general definition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a Secondary Dwelling Unit (SDU) is an attached or detached residential dwelling unit that provides independent living facilities for one or more persons. A unit includes facilities for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation on the same lot as the single-family dwelling. In recent years, the California legislature has adopted new laws to reduce development fees for ADUs and SDUs, streamline the local approval process, and has taken other actions to support ADUs and SDUs to address the production of affordable housing.' DISCUSSION By reducing the TVTD Fee for ADUs and SDUs from $1,860 to zero ($0), the TNTC will reduce economic barriers and improve opportunities to build ADUs and SDUs in the region. The TNTC unanimously recommended that all member agencies similarly adjust their fee schedules by September 30, 2019 (see Attachment 1).
