The purpose of the abovesaid fee is set forth in subsection (e) of SAMC section 8-44 as follows: "The purpose of a transportation system improvement program is to identify and designate those areas where the transportation system may experience a significant reduction in the level of service unless corrective measures are instituted concurrent with increased transportation demands. Fees collected for building projects and improvements on properties in a transportation systems improvement program area shall be used to improve the transporta- tion system within such area when such improvements will substan- tially benefit the transportation system within the area." 6. The use to which the abovesaid fee will be put is set forth in SAMC section 13-112 as follows: "Monies in a transportation system improvement program area fund shall be expended to improve the transportation system within the area for which such fund was established, or outside such area only when such improvement will substantially benefit such area." The public facilities to be financed by the fee are identified in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein. 7. The fee applies to all types of development projects, including residential, commercial, office and industrial; subject to certain limited exceptions set forth in section 8-44. The use of the fee for transportation system improvements is reasonably related to all types of development projects because the owners, Occupants and visitors of all types of uses are benefitted by improved vehicular traffic flow. 8. The need for the public facilities is reasonably related to all types of development projects because all types of develop- ment projects generate vehicular traffic. The restriction of the use of fees to transportation system improvements which are located in, or which substantially benefit, the area of the city from which the fees are derived assures that the fees derived from any given development project are used to provide those transportation improvements which most directly address the needs created by such development project.
