For the City of Arcadia, the report and resolution are sent to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) as the local Congestion Management Agency. The report is due each year by September 1st. Staff is recommending that the attached Resolution No. 6784 be adopted and sent to the MTA with the Local Development Report. BACKGROUND The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Congestion Management Program (CMP) was developed in response to the passage of Proposition 111 in 1990. Proposition 111 provided an increase in the State Gas Tax to fund regional transportation improvements (Streets and Highways Code, Section 2105) and included the CMP to monitor regional transportation conditions. Conformance with the CMP assures that local agencies are providing transportation improvements to offset the traffic congestion resulting from new development. If a city does not conform to the CMP, that city's share of the Gas Tax increase provided by Proposition 111 may be withheld and allocated to the County to use on regional transportation projects. To assure conformance with the CMP, local agencies must perform the following actions: 1. Implement a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance (Ord. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) Program (Reso. 5780). 2. Submit to the local Congestion Management Agency, by September 1st of each year, a resolution finding that the city is in conformance with the CMP, and a Local Development Report (LDR) showing that the city is meeting its traffic congestion mitigation responsibilities. For the City of Arcadia, the resolution and LDR must be submitted to the MTA, and the LDR consists of a Deficiency Plan Summary a New Development Activity Form a New Development Adjustments Form, and an Exempted Development Activity Form. The requirements of the TDM Ordinance (Ord. 1984) and the LUA Program (Reso. 5780) are being applied to relevant projects, and the attached Resolution No. 6784 and LDR verify that the City of Arcadia is in conformance with the CMP. DISCUSSION Compliance Action No. 1 The City Council adopted a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance (Ord. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) Program (Reso. 5780) in 1994. The TDM Ordinance is applied to new, nonresidential developments of 25,000 or more gross square feet. The LUA Program is applied to any project that is subject to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Compliance Action No. 2 Annually, a resolution and Local Development Report (LDR) must be submitted to the MTA by September 1st to show that the City is meeting its traffic congestion mitigation responsibilities. The CMP requires that cities mitigate traffic congestion resulting from new development. Historically, cities are required to track all new development activity and the CMP assesses debits and credits based on new development and demolition activity. In addition, cities may submit to the MTA a list of transportation projects that reduce local and/or regional traffic congestion for credits. This year, the only requirement for CMP compliance is to report on all new development activity using the LDR and adopt the self-certifying Resolution. The attached Resolution No. 6784 finds the City of Arcadia to be in conformance with the CMP and adopts the Local Development Report (LDR) in accordance with California Reso. 6784— CMP August 2, 2011 Page 2 Government Code Section 65089. For the current reporting period (June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011) the LDR consists of the following four (4) forms: • Deficiency Plan Summary — This form (Section 1, Page 1) summarizes the local development activity and shows the net development totals. • Part 1: New Development Activity —This form (Section 1, Page 2) shows the number of residential units built and the square-footage of other development activity based on the building permits that were issued during the current reporting period. • Part 2: New Development Adjustments — This form (Section 1, Page 3) shows the adjustments, or the credits toward the new development debits based on demolition permits that were issued during the current reporting period. • Part 3: Exempted Development Activity — This form (Section 1, Page 4) shows development that is exempt from being reported as "new development activity," such as low-income housing and reconstruction of earthquake damaged buildings. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Reporting on compliance with a local congestion management program is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The development or adoption of transportation improvement programs is statutorily exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15276. FISCAL IMPACT Nonconformance with the CMP could jeopardize Gas Tax funds. If the MTA determined that a city is not in conformance with the CMP, the State Controller is notified to withhold from that jurisdiction its annual allocation of the State Gas Tax increase enacted by Proposition 111 (Streets and Highways Code, Section 2105). If, after 12 months, a city still has not conformed to the CMP, the withheld Gas Tax funds will be allocated to the County. The amount of City Gas Tax funds for the current reporting period that is subject to CMP conformance is approximately $319,000.00. The City of Arcadia, however, is in conformance with the CMP, so these funds are not in jeopardy of being withheld. RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends that the City Council take the following two (2) actions: A. Adopt Resolution No. 6784: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, finding the City of Arcadia to be in conformance with the Congestion Management Program (CMP) and adopting the CMP Local Reso. 6784—CMP August 2, 2011 Page 3 Development Report, in accordance with California Government Code Section 65089; and B.
