FROM: Jason Kruckeberg, Assistant City Manager /Development Services Director
By: Jim Kasama, Community Development Administrator
Prepared By: Thomas Li, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 7083 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 that the City 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. 7083 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; and direct the City Clerk to transmit a fully- executed
copy of Resolution No. 7083 and the Local Development Report to the Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Transportation Authority by September 1, 2015.
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.
Resolution No. 7083- Congestion Management Program
August 4, 2015
Page 2 of 4
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 (Ordinance
No. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis ( "LUA ") Program (Resolution No. 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 (Ordinance No. 1984) and the LUA Program
(Resolution No. 5780) are being applied to relevant projects, and the attached
Resolution No. 7083 and LDR verify that the City of Arcadia is in conformance with the
CMP.
DISCUSSION
In reaction to Compliance Action No. 1 listed above, the City Council adopted a
Transportation Demand Management ( "TDM ") Ordinance (Ordinance No. 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 ").
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. 7083 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,
2014, to May 31, 2015) the LDR consists of the following four (4) forms:
Resolution No. 7083- Congestion Management Program
August 4, 2015
Page 3 of 4
• Deficiency Plan Summary — This form (Section 1, Page 1) summarizes the local
development activity by showing 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.
During the reporting period, Building Services records show that permits were issued for
115 new, single - family residences, 89 new, multiple - family units, and two (2) new,
commercial buildings. With demolitions, however, the net, new development is one (1)
single - family residence, 42 multiple - family units, and 233,320 square feet of commercial
buildings. The new commercial buildings are the 241,000 square -foot, Rusnak auto
dealership and a 2,200 square -foot medical office at 604 N. Santa Anita Avenue. The
commercial demolition was at 132 -140 Las Tunas Drive.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
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. 7083 was published in the
Arcadia Weekly on July 23, 2015.No comments have been received as of the writing of
this document.
FISCAL IMPACT
Nonconformance with the CMP could jeopardize the City's receipt of Gas Tax funds. If
the MTA determines that the City is not in conformance with the CMP, the State
Controller would be notified to withhold its annual allocation of the State Gas Tax
increase enacted by Proposition 111 (Streets and Highways Code, Section 2105). If,
after 12 months, the City still has not conformed to the CMP, the withheld Gas Tax
funds will be allocated to the County. The amount of Proposition 111 Gas Tax funds to
be allocated to the City of Arcadia for the current reporting period that is subject to CMP
Resolution No. 7083- Congestion Management Program
August 4, 2015

conformance, is approximately $272,500. The City of Arcadia is in conformance with the
CMP, so these funds are not in jeopardy of being withheld.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7083 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; and direct the City Clerk to transmit a fully- executed
copy of Resolution No. 7083 and the Local Development Report to the Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Transportation Authority by September 1, 2015.
