Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee: This project shall pay all applicable TSMI Fees at the time of building permit. Contact the Public Works Department, Frank Saburit at (559)621-8797.

If the signal is existing at the time of the final map, the applicant would not be required to construct the signal but would be required to pay the applicable fee.
TSMI fee is credited against traffic signal and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) improvements, provided that the improvements are constructed at ultimate locations, contained within the build out of the General Plan circulation element and are included in the latest Nexus Analysis for TSMI fee. Project specific impacts that are not consistent with the General Plan,

Failure to pay this fee or construct improvements that are credited / reimbursable with this fee will result in a significant unmitigated impact as this fee is applied to all projects within the City Sphere of Influence. If the applicant is conditioned with improvements that are credited / reimbursable with this fee, they should work with the Department of Public Works and
identify, with a Professional Engineer’s estimate, the costs associated with the improvements, prior to paying the TSMI fee at time of building permit. Fresno Major Street Impact (FMSI) Fee: This Map is in the New Growth Area; therefore, pay all applicable growth area fees and City-wide regional street impact fees. In some cases, center
section improvements or bridges may be conditioned on multiple maps. If the improvements are
