The master plan of traffic circulation for the city contains an estimate of the total costs of constructing the traffic circulation facilities required by the plan and a map of the area covered by the plan, showing the location of the facilities. The fees imposed by this division shall be based on the master plan of traffic circulation and the development impact fee nexus study. The costs estimated in the master plan of traffic circulation shall be adjusted to reflect current costs.

(A) There is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed, and between the need for the traffic circulation facilities financed by the fee and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed in that all types of development projects subject to the fee produce traffic, which requires more or higher capacity traffic circulation facilities.
(B) (1) There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the traffic circulation facilities or portion hereof attributable to the development project on which the fee is imposed in that the cost estimates used to calculate the fee shall be reasonable cost estimates for constructing the traffic circulation facilities identified, the total fees to be imposed shall not exceed the total of the cost estimates, and the fees to be imposed on a particular development project shall not exceed the project’s proportionate share of the cost of the facilities that are necessary to serve the development project
(2) Such cost estimates and the method of calculating each development project’s proportionate share thereof shall be set out in the development impact fee nexus study.

(A) Pursuant to Cal.

(2) Convenience retail uses, including a store that sells food, and is located within one-half mile of the housing development.
(3) The housing development provides either the minimum number of parking spaces required by the local ordinance, or no more than one onsite parking space for zero to two bedroom units, and two onsite parking spaces for three or more bedroom units, whichever is less.
(B) If a housing development does not satisfy the characteristics in subdivision (A), the local agency may charge a fee that is proportional to the estimated rate of automobile trip generation associated with the housing development.
(C) As used in this section, “housing development” means a development project with common ownership and financing consisting of residential use or mixed use where not less than 50 % of the floor space is for residential use.
(D) For the purposes of this section, “transit station” has the meaning set forth in Cal. Gov’t Code, Section 65460.1(b)(4). “Transit station” includes planned transit stations otherwise meeting this definition whose construction is programmed to be completed prior to the scheduled completion and occupancy of the housing development.
