ADOPTION OF ANNUAL CONFORMANCE RESOLUTION
CERTIFYING COMPLIANCE WITH THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
CAROLYNN PETRU, ACTING CITY MANAGE~
So Kirn, Associate Planner~
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2014-_, thereby adopting the City's 2014 Local Development
Report (LOR) and self-certifying the City's conformance with the Congestion Management
Program (CMP) for Los Angeles County.
BACKGROUND
A Congestion Management Program (CMP) was enacted by the State Legislature in 1990
to improve traffic congestion in California's urban areas. In accordance with the State
statute, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) [then known
as the L.A. County Transportation Commission (LACTC)] adopted the first CMP for Los
Angeles County on November 18, 1992.
The MTA has updated and adopted several Congestion Management Programs since
1992. The City and other L.A. County local jurisdictions were originally required to
demonstrate compliance with the MT A's Congestion Management Program (CMP) using a
debit/credit system. The debit/credit system was abolished in 2003 because the MTA
began studying the concept of instituting a traffic mitigation fee to address regional
congestion. Until adoption and implementation of a possible congestion mitigation fee,
cities are required to continue the current practice of adopting an annual self-certified
conformance resolution and self-certifying the City's conformance with the CMP
requirements. As such, the City's 2014 Local Development Report (LOR), which reports

E-MAIL PLANNING@RPVCOM I WWWPALOSVERDESCOM/RPV 1-2
information on new net development in our City within the 2013-2014 fiscal year, is being
presented to the City Council for approval along with a resolution certifying the City's
compliance with the County's Congestion Management Program. Upon adoption, the
resolution and 2014 LOR will be transmitted to the MTA for its review and approval.
DISCUSSION
In adopting the attached self-certification resolution, the City resolves that it is in
conformance with all the applicable requirements of the CMP and has taken, or will take,
each of the following four specific actions (the requisite action appears in bold type and the
City's response in normal type):
1. By June 15, of odd numbered years, the City will conduct and transmit to the MTA
traffic counts and calculated levels of service for selected arterial intersections,
consistent wi
0
th the requirements identified in the CMP Highway and Roadway
System Chapter.
The current year of 2014 is not an odd numbered year and therefore the requisite action is
not applicable. Next year's (2015) report will address this action.
2. The City has locally adopted and continues to implement a Transportation
Demand Management (TOM) Ordinance, consistent with the minimum
requirements identified in the CMP Transportation Demand Management Chapter.
On February 2, 1993, the City Council adopted the required TOM Ordinance (Municipal
Code Chapter 10.28) and Staff continues to implement the TOM Ordinance, where
applicable. In 1997, the TOM Ordinance was incorporated into the Development Code by
reference.
3. The City has locally adopted and continues to implement a land use analysis
program, consistent with the minimum requirements identified in the CMP Land
Use Analysis Program Chapter.
On September 17, 2002, the City Council adopted an amended set of Local CEQA
Guidelines, which incorporated the County's CMP Land Use Analysis program into the
City's environmental review procedures. City staff continues to implement the land use
analysis program where applicable.
4. The City has adopted a 2013 Local Development Report consistent with the
requirements identified in the CMP. The LOR tracks new development, exempted
development, and development adjustments as a result of building permits
issued between June 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013.
During the period between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, there were building permits
issued for 4 new single family units and no demolition permits, resulting in a net increase of
4 residential units in the City during the 12-month monitoring period. There was also a
1-3
permit issued for a 16,601ft2 mausoleum at Green Hills Memorial Park, which is considered
as commercial development activity for the purposes of the CMP LOR.
CONCLUSION
The City Council, through a noticed public hearing, must adopt a self-certification
conformance resolution, whereby the City agrees to conform to the local responsibilities
required by the CMP, including preparation of the 2014 LOR. As documented in this Staff
Report, the City is in conformance with all applicable requirements of the CMP and has
taken all of the required actions of the Deficiency Plan. Therefore, Staff recommends that
the City Council adopt attached Resolution No. 2014 -_.
