Recommendation:
(1) Open the public hearing and take public testimony; (2) waive full reading and introduce by title only Ordinance No. 274 An Ordinance Of The City Council of the City of Canyon Lake, California, Repealing Ordinance No. 252 and Adding Chapter 3.48 (Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program) to Title 3 (Revenue and Finance) of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code Relating to the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program and Establishing Annual Construction Cost Index Adjustments; and (3) adopt Resolution No. 2026-16 to establish the updated TUMF fee schedule for residential and non-residential development within the City, reflecting the fees set forth in the WRCOG 2024 Nexus Study, and ensuring that fee collection is consistent with the TUMF Administrative Plan and applicable state law.
Background/Analysis:
The City of Canyon Lake participates in the Western Riverside County TUMF Program, administered by the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), which funds transportation improvements needed to mitigate cumulative traffic inspacts of new development in Western Riverside County.
The most recent update to the TUMF Nexus Study and Administrative Plan was completed in September 2024. Following this update, the WRCOG Executive Committee recommended that member agencies amend their ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and updated construction costs. The City previously adopted Ordinance No. 252, on April 9, 2025, to implement these changes; however, it was adopted as an uncodified ordinance.
Ordinance No. 274 will repeal Oridinnace No. 252 and add Chapter 3.48 to the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, formally establishing the City's participation in the TUMF Program and providing for annual CCI adjustments. The ordinance also clarifies residential land use definitions to ensure consistency with current development patterns, state housing law, and WRCOG TUMF land use classifications.

Additional Fiscal Information:
There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting the Resolution. If the City does not adopt the WRCOG approved fee schedule and continues its current rates, it would be responsible for remitting the difference to WRCOG for applicable new development. Adopting the CCI adjustment, including future automatic updates, maintains consistency with the TUMF Program and avoids potential financial exposure from fee discrepancies.
