Subdivisions: major thoroughfares.

The Subdivision Map Act authorizes a local agency to require the payment of a fee as a condition of approval of a final map or as a condition of issuing a building permit for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated cost of constructing bridges or major thoroughfares if specified conditions are met. The fees collected are deposited in a planned bridge or major thoroughfare fund. If the benefit area of a bridge fund is one in which more than one bridge is required to be constructed, a fund may be established that covers all of the bridge projects in that benefit area. For the unincorporated area of San Diego County only, "construction" is defined to include design, acquisition of rights-of-way, actual construction, and reasonable administrative expenses, as specified. This bill would authorize a local agency to establish a fund for a benefit area that covers all of the bridge and major thoroughfare projects in that benefit area when that benefit area is one in which more than one bridge or major thoroughfare is required to be constructed. The definition of "construction" for the unincorporated area of San Diego County would also be applied to the unincorporated area of, and, in specified circumstances, to other specified areas within, Los Angeles County.
