"grandfather" provisions, meaning existing businesses in the JDEDZ will be allowed to operate, undertake modest expansions, and potentially relocate within the JDEDZ. Please refer to the Attachment 2 and the Master Response to Comments in the March 21, 2016 FSEIR regarding the Impacts of the Proposed EDZ on existing and/or nonconforming uses. JDEDZ TRANSPORTATION FEE During the presentations of the JDEDZ transportation projects financing plan in August and September of 2017, City Council directed staff to develop a methodology for a JDEDZ Transportation Fee that the City would asses on new development within the JDEDZ (excluding Costco) to recoup the transportation infrastructure costs borne by the City. City staff developed a JDEDZ Transportation Fee methodology for Council's consideration. On May 15, 2018, the City Council adopted the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone Transportation Fee ("JDEDZ Transportation Fee") (Ordinance No. 2178). The JDEDZ Transportation Fee was rescinded on October 2, 2018 along with the JDEDZ approvals in order for the City to perform additional environmental review of the project (Ordinance No. 2184). Costco represents approximately 44 percent of the total estimated trips generated by the JDEDZ at build-out. The other hotel and drive-through coffee shop/retail land uses included in the JDEDZ comprise the remaining 56 percent of the total trips. However, because Costco would be the first development to occur in the JDEDZ and the transportation improvements have to be completed before Costco can become operational, the City and Costco are covering 100 percent of the non-TIF portion of the transportation improvements project costs. The proposed JDEDZ Transportation Fee would be charged to future JDEDZ development applicants at the time they pull permits with the City to develop their property with uses authorized in the JDEDZ. The City will use the proceeds from the JDEDZ Transportation Fee to reduce the amount owed to Costco through the proposed sales tax sharing agreement which, in turn, will reduce the years in which the City would be required to share the sales tax generated from the Costco store with Costco. Staff has developed a proposal to allocate costs not contributed by Costco to the future developments based on the percent of total trips at build-out by land use (based on building square footage that would be allowed under JDEDZ zoning). The methodology results in building square foot fees. Staff plan to bring the proposed JDEDZ Transportation Fee for Council's consideration at the February 18, 2020 City Council meeting. Page 20 of 23
