Conaestion Manaaement Program - Transoortation Demand Manaaement Ordinance and Amendment To The Citv's CEOA Guidelines Relative To Land Use Analvsis and Transit Imbact PURPOSE Pursuant to State mandate, Staff is proposing a revision to Section 25-14 of the Lynwood Municipal Code to adopt a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance and an amendment of the City's CEQA guidelines relative to Land Use Analysis and Transit Impact Review Program. SOURCE OF AUTHORITY: Section 25-14 of the Lynwood Municipal Code prescribes development standards relative to off-street parking and loading areas for all zones and related site improvements. Section 21082 of the Public Resources Code requires local public agencies to adopt procedures for the evaluation of project environmental effects pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. BACRGROUND 1. The Congestion Management Program (CMP) is a new program enacted by the State Legislature. The requirements for the CMP became effective with the increase in the State gas tax as part of the passage of Proposition 111 in 1990. 2. In passing the CMP statue, the legislature found that urban congestion was impacting the economic vitality of the state and diminishing the quality of life in many communities. The legislature also noted that the current planning process � was not well suited to addressing congestion relief. 3. As a new approach to addressing congestions concerns, the � CMP was created for the following objectives: ' (a) To link land use, transportation and air quality decisions; ' (b) To develop a partnership among transportation decision makers on devising appropriate transportation solutions ; that include all modes of travel; and (c) To propose £ransportation projects which are eligible to compete for state gas tax funds. ' THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 1. A Congestion Management Agency was designated in each_county that includes an urbanized area. The Metropolitan � Transportation Authority (MTA) was designated the Congestion Management Agency for Los Angeles County. 2. As required by statute, the CMP has the following five elements: t:\stffrpt\zoa30pc . 1 t • • 4 � (a) A system of highways and roadways with minimum level of service performance standards designated for highway segments and key roadway intersections on this system. (b) Transit standards for freguency and routing of transit service and coordination between transit operators. (c) A trip reduction and travel demand management element promoting alternative transportation methods during peak travel periods. (d) A program to analyze the impacts of local land use decisions on the regional transportation system, including an estimate of the costs of mitigating those impacts. (e) A seven-year capital improvement program of projects that benefit the CMP system. 3. The CMP places the following significant responsibilities on local jurisdictions: (a) Monitoring the attainment of level of service and the collection of traffic date for CMP routes. Alameda Street is part of the CMP network. Staff submitted a traffic count of Alameda Street and Imperial Highway in Spring of 1992. This intersection must be monitored annually with the next submittal due by June 1, 1993. (b) Adopting and implementing a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance. A draft ordinance is provided as Attachment "A". An ordinance must be approved by the City Council by April , 1, 1993. If the deadline cannot be met, the City is required to submit a letter to MTA indicating the future date that the'required ordinance would be adopted. (c) Adopt and implement a program that analyzes the impacts of local land use decisions on the regional transportation system. To fulfill this responsibility, staff is proposing to revise its CEQA guidelines to include a requirement that would analyze the impact of land use decisions on � the regional transportation system. A draft CEQA amendment is provided as Attachment "B". A land use analysis program must be approved by the City Council by April 1, 1993. If the deadline cannot be met, the City is required to submit a letter to MTA indicating the future date that the required ordinance would be adopted. 4. If the MTA determines that a local jurisdiction is not conforming with the requirements of the CMP, after notice and correction period, the MTA must report that jurisdiction to state controller. The state controller will then .withhold a portion of their state gas tax funds. If the jurisdiction attains compliance within the year, the gas tax monies are released to the,City. If compliance is not attained within the one year period, the monies are lost to ,' the City and become permanent property of the MTA. The City in FY 91-92 received $271,191 in Proposition 111 funds. f:\staffrpt\zoa30pc . 2 � m � � y, TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE 1. The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance is based on the model provided by the MTA. If adopted without modification, Lynwood will receive automatic approval without furtlier MTA review. 2. The highlights of the Ordinance are as follows: (a) New Non-Residential Development. For projects that are over 25,000 square feet, the ordinance requires that the developer provides a transportation information board, display case or kiosk. The board would consist of such information as bus schedules, ridesharing information and bicycle routes. (b) New Non-Residential Developmezrt. For projects over 50,000 square feet, the ordinance requires that the developer do ��b" above in addition to setting aside a certain percent of the required parking for carpools/vanpools, and provide bicycle racks for at least four bicycles. ° (c) New Non-Residential Development. For project over ^ 100,000 square feet, the ordinance requires that the developer comply with "b�� and "c" above, design the building such that sidewalks follow direct routes to the structure and provide bus stop improvements if found to be necessary by the City. 3. To ensure compliance, the City will not issue a certificate of occupancy to a property owner until an inspection verifies that the requirements have been provided. , LAND USE ANALYSIS PROGItAM 1. The purpose of the Land Use Analysis Program is to ensure that local jurisdictions consider the regional transportation impact of new development through the land � use approval process. 2. THe Land Use Analysis Program is designed to build on the existing California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process in identifying the impact of development on the CMP system. The Land Use Analysis Program will assist the City in addressing CEQA's existing requirement that EIR's analyze a, project's impacts on the regional transportation system. Consistent with CMP statute the Land Use Analysis Program has the following objectives: (a) Reaffirming the responsibility of the lead agency as the decision making authority. (b) Establishing a program which can be integrated into existing local review processes, with minimal additional,burden placed on public and private entities. � (c) Promoting increased inter-jurisdictional coordination in evaluating and mitigating land use impacts. (d) Encouraging consistent analysis of regional impacts and the sharing of this information through the CEQA process. ' 3. All development projects required to prepare an EIR based on a local determination will be subject to the Land Use Analysis Program and must incorporate into the EIR a CMP Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA). The objective of this i - f:\staffrpt\zoa30pc � 3 � . , i. � , � ,, ' process is to identify site specific impact and mitigations within the immediate vicinity of major projects. This analysis will be documented within the projeat EIR. Briefly, the steps involved are: (a) �he City determines that an EIR is necessary for a proposed project and notifies MTA through the Notice of Preparation (NOP) process. In addition, area transit operators are consulted regarding potential project impacts to the transit system. (b) Existing traffic volumes and levels of service (LOS) on the CMP highway system within the study area are documented. (c) Traffic generation estimates are made, conforming to the procedures of the current edition of Trip Generation by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). (d) Trip distribution by manual/assignment are made using the generalized trip distribution factors contained in the CMP. (e) An analysis of the project's traffic impacts is conducted utilizing the guidelines contained in the . CMP. (f) The TIA is conducted examining the following minimum geographic area: , • All CMP arterial monitoring intersections, including freeway on or off-ramps, where the proposed project will add 50 or more trip during either the AM or PM weekday peak hours. _ • Mainline freeway monitoring locations where the project will add 150 or more trips, in either direction, during either the AM or PM weekday peak hours. (g) Determine if significant impacts occur on the CMP highway system as a result of the project. For purposes of the CMP, a significant impact occurs when the proposed project increases traffic demand on a CMP facility by 2� of capacity causing or worsening LOS F. However, the City can apply a more stringent criteria if desired. (h) Investigate measures which will mitigate significant CMP highway system impacts identified in the TIA. Such mitigation measures must consider significant impacts of the proposed development on neighboring jurisdictions. (i) Develop cost estimates, including the fair share costs to mitigate impacts of the proposed project, and indicate the responsible agency. - (j) Selection of final mitigation measures remain at the discretion of the City. Once a mitigation program is selected, the City self-monitors implementation through the existing mitigation monitoring requirements of CEQA. (k) For every project that is subject to an EIR, the City will be required to identify and consult with transit operators. The purpose of this requirement is to provide transit operators with an opportunity to comment on project impacts, to identify recommended � � f:\staffrpt\zoa30pc 4 � � � ' transit service or capital improvements which may be required as a result of the project and to recommend mitigation measures which minimize automobile trips on the CMP network. 4. Exempt�.ons to the Transportation Impact Analysis include: (a) Projects that entered into a development agreement with the City prior to July 10, 1989. Development agreements are obligations entered into on the part of a developer and the City as specified under Section 65864 of the California Government Code. (b) Traffic generated by low and very low income housing. Definitions of low and very low income housing are provided by the California Department of Housing and Community Development as follows;. • Low Income: equal to or less than 80� of the median income, with adjustments for family size. • very low income: equal to or less than 50% of the . median income, with adjustments for family size. (c) Until June 1, 1995, buildings and structures damaged or destroyed as a result of civil unrest during the state of emergency declared by the Governor on April 29, 1992. (d) High density residential development located with 1/4 mile of a fixed rail passenger station. State statute defines !'high density" as equal to or greater than 120% of the maximum residential density allowed under the' local general plan and zoning ordinance. (e) Mixed use development located within 1/4 mile of a fixed rail passenger station, if more than half of the land area, or floor area, of the mixed use development is used for high density residential housing, as determined by the agency. Mixed use development is defined by statute as development which integrates compatible commercial or retail uses, or both, with residential uses, and which, due to the proximity of job locations, shopping opportunities, and residences, will minimize new trip generation. (f) Projects for which an NOP was prepared and distributed . pursuant to CEQA prior to the City's adoption of the Land Use Analysis Program. RESOLUTION TO AMEND CEOA GUIDELINES 1. The proposed resolution will amend the City's CEQA guidelines. The resolution amends the guidelines to incorporate the requirements of the Land Use Analysis Program as described above. . 2. The guidelines have been provided by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Adopting the guidelines as provided by the MTA will assure compliance with the requirements of the CMP. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Staff has found that no substantial negative environmental impact will result from the proposed amendments, therefore a Negative Declaration has been-filed in the Community Development ' Department and in the office of the City Clerk. f:\staffrpt\zoa30pc . 5 ) ♦ �N C � . Lr • � � � r SUMMARY The City of Lynwood must comply with the requirements of the Congestion Management Program or risk losing gas tax funds. Pursuant to CMP requirements, the City has until April 1, 1993 to • adopt a,Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance and a Land Use Analysis Program.
