SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 7041 FINDING THE CITY OF ARCADIA TO BE IN
CONFORMANCE WITH THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
(CMP) AND ADOPTING THE CMP LOCAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT, IN
ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION
65089
Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
Each City in the State of California is required to submit annually a Local Development
Report and certify by resolution to the local Congestion Management Agency that it is in
compliance with the local Congestion Management Program. 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 1. It is recommended that the City Council adopt
Resolution No. 7041 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:
Resolution No. 7041 — Congestion Management Program (CMP)
August 5, 2014
Page 2 of 4
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 1 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 four (4) forms: 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. 7041 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 (Resolution No. 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 1 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 the new development activity using the
LDR and to submit the adopted Resolution.
The attached Resolution No. 7041 finds the City of Arcadia to be in conformance with
the CMP, and adopts the Local Development Report (LDR) in accordance with
California Government Code Section 65089. For the current reporting period (June 1,
2013, to May 31, 2014) the LDR consists of the following four (4) forms:
• Deficiency Plan Summary — This form (Section 1, Page 1) summarizes the local
development activity by showing the net development totals.
Resolution No. 7041 — Congestion Management Program (CMP)
August 5, 2014
Page 3 of 4
• 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.
During the reporting period, building permit records show 139 new single - family homes
were permitted and 123 new multiple - family residential units. With demolitions,
however, the net new development is two (2) new single - family homes, and 95 new
multiple - family units.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
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 Section 15276 of the
CEQA Guidelines.
PUBLIC NOTICE
A public hearing notice for the adoption of Resolution No. 7041 was published in the
Arcadia Weekly on July 24, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT
Nonconformance with the CMP could jeopardize Gas Tax funds. The amount of City
Gas Tax funds for the current reporting period that is subject to CMP conformance is
approximately $273,500. The City of Arcadia, however, is in conformance with the
CMP, so these funds are not in jeopardy of being withheld.
