2004 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM LOCAL
DEVELOPMENT REPORT
Transportation and Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution finding the City to be in
conformance with the Congestion Management Program; and direct staff to deliver the adopted
resolution and the 2004 Local Development Report to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority
on or before the September 1, 2004 deadline.
BACKGROUND
The Congestion Management Program (CMP) is a state -mandated program administered in
Los Angeles County by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The CMP assists
local agencies in linking land use decisions with impacts on the region's transportation system.
The City is required to participate in this program in order to receive Proposition 111 Gas Tax
funds.
In August 2003, the MTA Board adopted the 2003 Short Range Transportation Plan. This action
directed MTA staff to conduct a Nexus Study to determine the feasibility of implementing a
countywide impact fee to meet CMP Deficiency Plan requirements. While this study is
underway, the CMP Countywide Deficiency Plan requirement for maintaining a positive credit
balance is suspended until further notice. As a result, cities do not have to report their
transportation improvement strategies for the 2004 cycle. However, cities must continue to report
their new net development activity.
The MTA requires that the City Council pass a resolution adopting the Local Development
Report through a public hearing process. A public notice was posted in The Signal on
June 30, 2004. City staff will deliver the adopted resolution and the 2003 Local Development
Report to MTA staff for consideration on or before the September 1, 2004 deadline.
