RE: Resolution to Self -Certify 2014 Congestion Management Program
(CMP) Local Development Report in Accordance With Government
Code § 65089
It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and thereafter:
1) Find that approval of the 2014 CMP Local Development Report is statutorily exempt under
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section
15276, which expressly exempts the preparation and adoption of a congestion management
program and categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because
there is no possibility that approving the report may have a significant effect on the environment;
and
2) Adopt a resolution self -certifying the City's compliance with the Congestion Management
Program requirements and adopt the 2014 CMP Local Development Report in accordance with
California Government Code Section 65089.
BACKGROUND
In 1989, the Legislature noted increasing concern 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 planning process was not well suited to address the congestion
relief.
-1-
As a new approach to address congestion concerns, the Legislature implemented a series of rules,
centered on a Congestion Management Program (CMP). The requirements of the CMP became
effective with the passage of Proposition 111 by the voters in June 1990.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is the state -mandated
Congestion Management Agency for Los Angeles County. In 1992, MTA adopted the first CMP
for Los Angeles County. Since then, MTA has updated and adopted several CMPs with its most
recent adoption in 2010. The CMP was created to address regional congestion problems in Los
Angeles County through linkage and coordination of land use, transportation, and air quality
decisions.
To continue receiving Section 2105 state gas tax funds, and to remain eligible for other state and
federal transportation funds, Vernon must comply with the CMP requirements. The City must hold
a public hearing and thereafter adopt a resolution approving the CMP Local Development Report.
The CMP Local Development Report outlines all new development and demolition activity in the
City from June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014. From these reports the MTA will be able to determine the
growth of building area of residential, commercial and industrial space in the Los Angeles Basin.
Attached for the City Council's consideration is a resolution authorizing the submittal of the CMP
Local Development Report and self -certifying compliance with the CMP, in accordance with
California Government Code Section 65089.
CEOA ANALYSIS
Reporting on, and establishing compliance with, a Local CMP is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). According to the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15276,
CEQA does not apply to the development or adoption of regional transportation
improvement programs. Therefore, the project is statutorily exempt from CEQA review. It is
also exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because there is no
possibility that approving the report may have a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approving this action does not directly impact the city's finances. If, however the City fails to
provide a report in compliance with the CMP, state gas taxes and/or other transportation funds
could be withheld.
