Bill Summary
This bill would enable a municipality to require a developer to contribute to the cost of reasonable and necessary mass transit improvements located off-tract of a development, but necessitated or required by the development. Current law authorizes municipalities to require such developer contributions for streetimprovements and water, sewerage, and drainage facilities, but not for mass transit improvements. Municipalities would have to develop the regulations governing these mass transit developer contributions in consultation with the affected mass transit agencies. This bill is intended to help municipalities accommodate additional mass transit usage created by new developments.
AI Summary
This bill allows municipalities to require developers to contribute financially towards mass transit improvements that are located outside of their development but are made necessary or required by that development. Currently, municipalities can already require developers to pay for off-site street improvements and water, sewer, and drainage facilities, but this bill adds mass transit to that list. Any regulations created by a municipality for these mass transit contributions must be developed in consultation with the local mass transit agencies to ensure they are reasonable and necessary, helping municipalities manage the increased demand on public transportation that new developments can create.
