Resolution No. 98-90 Page 5 2. That there is a reasonable relationship between the TVTD Fee's use (to pay for the construction of the Transportation Improvement Projects) and the type of development for which the TVTD Fee is charged in that all development in Pleasanton -- both residential and non-residential -- generates or contributes to the need for the Transportation Improvement Projects; and 3. That the cost estimates set forth in the Plan and Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Transportation Improvement Projects, and the TVTD Fees expected to be generated by future development will not exceed the projected costs of constructing the Transportation Improvement Projects; and 4. The method of allocation of the TVTD Fee to a particular development bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each development's burden on, and benefit from, the Transportation Improvement Projects to be funded by the TVTD Fee, in that the TVTD Fee is calculated based on the number of automobile trips each particular development will generate. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: Definitions a. "Gross Floor Area" refers to the sum of the area at each floor level, including, but not limited to, cellars, basements, mezzanines, penthouses, corridors, lobbies, stores, and offices, that are included within the principal outside faces of exterior walls, not including architectural setbacks or projections. Included are all stories or areas that have floor surfaces with clear standing head room (six feet, six inches minimum) regardless of their use. Where a ground level area, or part thereof, within the principal outside faces of the exterior walls is left unenclosed, the gross area of the unenclosed portion is to be considered as a part of the overall square footage of the building. All unroofed areas and unenclosed roofed-over spaces, except as defined above, are to be excluded from area calculations. The gross area of any parking garages within the building shall not be included within the gross area of the entire building.
