https://www.sandiego.gov/planning 12/10/2020 PUBLIC NOTICE_____________________________________________________________ Date: December 10, 2020 Subject: Updated Fee Changes in accordance with Transnet Extension Ordinance_______________________________________________________ Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program Fees (RTCIP Fees) The RTCIP fee is applicable only on residential development. The fee was established to ensure that new development directly invests in the region's transportation system to offset the negative impact of growth on congestion and mobility. On-site affordable (low income) units may be exempt from the RTCIP. For an affordable housing unit to receive RTCIP exemption, the developer must submit evidence of a recorded Affordable Housing Agreement with the San Diego Housing Commission. Fees RTCIP From To Effective Date Single Family Dwelling Unit (DU) $2,950/per du $3,009/per du July 13, 2020 Multi Family Dwelling Unit (DU) $2,360/per du $2,408/per du July 13, 2020 The City of San Diego RTCIP Funding Program provides a list of communities that were previously determined to be exempt from the RTCIP fees. However, the City is required to periodically ensure the Funding Programs consistency with the Transnet Extension Ordinance. In accordance with this requirement, the communities of Rancho Penasquitos, Del Mar Mesa, Scripps Miramar Ranch, and Midway Pacific Highway, which were previously exempt from the RTCIP fees due to the alternative contributions toward regional transportation infrastructure, no longer meet the Citys RTCIP funding requirement through the provision of the Development Impact Fees (DIF) or Facilities Benefit Assessment (FBA). To ensure the Citys compliance with the RTCIP Funding Program and the TransNet extension ordinance, all residential projects in Rancho Penasquitos, Del Mar Mesa, Scripps Miramar Ranch, and Midway Pacific Highway now include the RTCIP Fee. Units confirmed as affordable housing continue to be exempt from the fee. The following communities remain exempt from the RTCIP fee: 1. Black Mountain Ranch 2. Carmel Valley 3. Mira Mesa 4. North University City 5. Otay Mesa 6. Pacific Highlands Ranch 7. Torrey Highlands https://www.sandiego.gov/planning https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/rtcip_combined_3.pdf
