Is there any way to pay less transportation impact fee?

Yes.  If a project produces less transportation impact, then there is a corresponding reduction in Transportation Impact Fee cost.  The Public Works Director may adjust the fee imposed in consideration for certain facilities or improvements constructed or paid for by the developer.  A developer is entitled to credit for the reasonable cost of the improvements, as determined by the Senior Transportation Engineer, if the improvement was identified in the Transportation Impact Fee Study.

For new construction, a developer shall receive credit toward the fee based on the gross floor area of existing buildings and/or the number of residential units which are being demolished and the predominant historical use as determined by the Senior Transportation Engineer.

For a change of use, a developer shall receive credit toward the fee based on the gross floor area of existing buildings and/or number of residential units for which there is a change of use based on the predominant historical use as determined by the Senior Transportation Engineer.
