City Council Meeting: August 14, 2013
Agenda Item: Ck_.A
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director of Planning and Community Development
Subject: Public Hearing, Resolution Finding the City to be in Compliance with the
Congestion Management Program, and Related Development Report
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) hold a public hearing, receive public comment, and adopt the attached resolution
stating that the City is in compliance with the 2010 Los Angeles County Congestion
Management Program (CMP), and
2) adopt the annual Local Development Report.
Executive Summary
Conformance with the CMP is required in order for the City to be eligible for State gas
tax funds. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro)
administers the state - mandated program for Los Angeles County and requires every
city to certify compliance with the program. The approval of the attached resolution
will ensure that the City continues to receive the apportionment of State gas tax
revenues authorized under Section 2105 of the State Streets and Highway codes.
Background
The CMP was created to link land use, air quality and transportation decisions as a
result of Proposition 111, passed by the voters of California in June 1990. Since 1993,
all 89 local jurisdictions in Los Angeles County have been implementing a CMP
Transportation Demand Management ordinance. The CMP TDM ordinance focuses on
designing "TDM friendly" development standards to be incorporated into the project
design. The applicable development standards are triggered when a new project
1
exceeds established gross square footage thresholds. Conformance with the CMP is
required in order for the City to be eligible for the portion of State gas tax funds
authorized under Section 2105 of the State Streets and Highways Code. The City of
Santa Monica must comply with Metro's CMP requirements by taking the following
actions:
® Continue implementation of the Trip Reduction Ordinance;
® Conduct biennial traffic counts on odd - numbered years for selected arterial
intersections and calculate levels of service, consistent with CMP specifications.
® Analyze the impacts of new development on the CMP system as part of the
environmental review process.
• Prepare and adopt a Local Development Report annually.
• Adopt a resolution to self - certify conformance with CMP requirements annually.
The City has complied with the requirements described above by implementing the
City's Trip Reduction Ordinance and analyzing impacts to the CMP network as part of
the environmental review process. Traffic counts from the four CMP network arterial
monitoring sections in Santa Monica were submitted to Metro in June 2013. Staff is
currently working on updating its ordinance to strengthen compliance, monitoring and
enforcement provisions and will bring a proposed ordinance for consideration later this
year.
The Local Development Report collects information on categories of development
activity that occurred within the city over the past year. The Local Development Report,
attached to the resolution (Attachment A), summarizes the City's development activity
based on building permits issued between June 2012 and May 2013. The issuance of
permits for 159 new residential units and the demolition of 36 existing units this year
resulted in a net increase of 123 residential units, of which 11 are affordable units. The
CMP category of "Commercial," which includes retail and restaurant reflects a net
decrease of 22,500 square feet. The category of "Non- Retail" reflects a net decrease of
2
7,200 square feet of office, a net decrease of 19,000 square feet of industrial, and
increase of 8,700 square feet for institutional /education development.
Upon Council adoption, the certified resolution and Local Development Report will be
forwarded to Metro. Metro staff will report to its Board on all Los Angeles County cities
later this year. Conformance with the CMP is important in order to maintain the flow of
State gas tax monies to cities for transportation projects.
Financial Impact & Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the
recommended action. Revenues related to the portion of the State of California tax
funds authorized under Section 2105 of the State Streets and Highways Code have
been included in the FY 2013 -14 budget at account 43402.400860.
