Presentation #2 DATE. 03/09/10 SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE. MARCH,3,2010 SUBJECT 2010 Regional Transportation Plan(RTP) Update SUMMARY This staff report provides background on the current RTP update and seeks to clarify questions raised in your February meeting regarding the approach and structure of this required document. As noted, in February the updated RTP's major changes are three-fold (1) updated policies and programs, (2) major reduction in revenues and their predictability and (3) integrating the thrust of the SB 375 Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) requirements that will be further refined by 2012 with the inclusion of the California Air Resources Board (ARB) greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets that will be developed over the upcoming year This report uses a "frequently asked question format to try and simplify the context and issues of the RTP Update effort and the integration of the land use - transportation connection that is the focus of the Sustainable Communities Strategy as well as the very challenging funding environment that will heavily constrain our ability to maintain and expand our transportation network, transit services, as well as the demand and system management efforts. RECOMMENDATION Staff, Review and Comment BACKGROUND Regional Transportation Plan Update W"'ght The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), also called a Long-Range Transportation Plan is the mechanism used in California by both Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Regional Transportation Planning Agencies(RTPAs)to conduct long-range (minimum of 20 years)planning in their regions. Since the mid-1970s, with the passage of AB 69, (Chapter 1253, Statute of 1972) California state law has required the preparation of RTPs to address transportation issues and assist local and State decision- makers in shaping California's transportation infrastructure The purpose of RTPs is to encourage and promote the safe and efficient management, operation and development of a regional intermodal transportation system that will serve the mobility needs of goods and people RTP Guidelines are provided by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to provide guidance so that MPOs and RTPAs will develop their RTPs to be consistent with Federal and State transportation planning requirements. The CTC is currently updating these guidelines to include the SB 375 emphasis on the SCS and GHG reduction strategies. This is important because State statutes require that RTPs serve as the foundation of the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) The FTIPs are prepared by MPOs and identify the next four years of transportation projects to be funded for construction The CTC cannot program projects that are not identified in an up-to-date RTP The SLOCOG RTP must be updated in 2010 to be eligible to receive state and federal transportation funding—millions of dollars in programming is at stake DISCUSSION Intermodal Systems Emphasis: The 2005 Regional Transportation Plan (Vision 2025) was developed with an emphasis on a balanced system wide approach for all modes of transportation including- highways, streets and roads; public transportation; non-motorized transportation improvements and transportation demand and system management efforts. `Naw B-3-1 7 Balanced investment: Vision 2025 (2005 RTP) was also developed under a 'funding scenario that presents a balanced investment in highways, streets, and roads public transportation, and non-motorized transportation improvements Equitable distribution between mode and geographic area: Vision 2025 (2005 RTP) also identifies transportation improvements that are distributed equitably across all modes of transportation and distributed geographically across the region. Funding constrained: Three basic revenue forecast scenarios were developed for Vision 2025. 1 'Financially Constrained" scenario - the 'Reasonably Expected Revenue scenario based only on current sources and levels of federal state and local transportation revenue projected out to the year 2025 2 'Reasonably Expected Revenue scenario - (the scenario selected as the basis for Vision 2025) is based on current sources and levels of federal, state, and local transportation revenue projected to the year 2025 and includes some additional sources of transportation revenue that are expected to become available in 2025 including higher levels of state and federal discretionary funds, and minor increases in state and federal gas taxes based on historical trends and, 3 'Supplemental Revenue scenario - includes additional revenue options, including a local option sales tax and other potential revenue sources, to fully fund the desired list of transportation system improvements. Land use component— smart growth principles: Vision 2025 (2005 RTP) fosters the integration of smart growth land uses and transportation facilities in communities across the region. The land use component of Vision 2025 focuses on the following major objectives. 1 Design communities to be more multi-modal and less auto-dependent; 2. Promote the use of integrated modes of travel that provides seamless transportation options; 3 Encourage the use of bicycling,walking, and transit; 4 Enhance Intermodal and multi-modal connectivity; and 5 Provide smart growth principles for future land use development. .,' IWIOI 1 Revenues have declined dramatically o Decrease in the amount of dedicated funding and predictability o Key impact areas. • Significant decrease in funding for highway and roadway expansion • No regional funding for street and road maintenance • Flat or decreased funding for transit ■ Nominal increase in funding for livable communities,transportation enhancements and TDM 2. New state requirements—SB 375 (in 2012). Transportation planning and land use planning became more closely linked following the passage of SB 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) in September 2008 As a result of this legislation, the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) has become a new priority in the transportation planning process in addition to improving transportation mobility; assuring a fiscally constrained plan. The RTP must now ensure that the regional transportation system addresses local, regional and statewide mobility and economic needs through the development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy • Addressing revenues and expenditures ("follow the money") o Focus on system interconnectivity and operational efficiency o Focus on livable communities o Very limited funding on highway and roadway system expansion • By developing a Preliminary' Sustainable Communities Strategy (PSCS) our objective is to integrate the principles of the Community 2050 Regional Blueprint; influence the AB32 greenhouse gas reduction targets for our area; model transportation and land use patterns under different development and investment scenarios and provide a transition to the new requirements. B-3-2 8 What is Preliminary Sustainable Communities Strategy? The Preliminary Sustainable Communities Strategy (PSCS) is meant to identify a preferred way to accommodate anticipated growth in the region. As part of the process, several land use scenarios are considered to demonstrate how differing patterns of growth impact the region s resources, particularly the transportation system Land use and traffic modeling tools are utilized to estimate these different impacts and help demonstrate to elected officials and the public how different ways to grow will impact our region's transportation system in the future. • The Community 2050 Regional Growth Strategy, developed over several years of public input, was used as a starting point to identify target growth areas within each city and urban areas within the County consistent with the strategic growth principles identified in Community 2050 SLOCOG staff worked with planning staff from member jurisdictions in order to share general plan and zoning data and assure that land use assumptions were appropriate and consistent with each community's General Plan. Land use modeling software was used to allocate future growth and produce statistical data that is used in the traffic model Staff also updated and continued to improve the specificity of the Regional Traffic Model to produce results that are then used to calculate greenhouse gas generation levels using software that is provided by the Air Resources Board • The preliminary results were reviewed by a Working Team (comprised of staff from SLOCOG, the County Air Pollution Control District (APCD), Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) and member jurisdictions) to help shape the development of land use alternative scenarios as part of the Preliminary Sustainable Communities Strategy • A Joint Policy Committee (comprised of two SLOCOG Board members, one board member each from APCD LAFCO, the County, and one of the seven cities)was formed to provide guidance for the process of developing the Preliminary Sustainable Communities Strategy M" The long-range population and employment forecast for the region completed in 2006 by Economic Research Associates for SLOCOG was updated in May 2009 to reflect the changing economic conditions. The region s population is estimated to increase by about 61 000 people by 2035, from 269,300 in 2008 to 330,800 in 2035 This is a moderate population growth rate of less than 1 percent per year It is projected that the region will need 26,000 new housing units to accommodate this population growth. The region is anticipated to add 35,100 jobs to the region's work force, from 103 000 jobs in 2008 to 138,100 in 2035 an increase of about 1 percent per year over the next 25 years. y. Four scenarios were developed as part of the PSCS process The Joint Policy Committee supported Scenario 2 as the "recommended scenario for adoption. Scenarios 3 and 4 evaluated further intensification and were not considered to be realistic or achievable for _growth in the region and were resected Scenarios 1 and 2 are briefly described below Scenario 1 assumes a future development pattern that follows the trends of the recent past, which is a low density development pattern throughout the region. Generally, new development has occurred in an outward growth pattern with limited reinvestment in existing commercial corridors This scenario also assumes development in the rural unincorporated area continues at its present pace Scenario 2 assumes intensification within the Target Development Areas which are the existing commercial corridors and nodes throughout the county Twenty percent of new residential units are accommodated in mixed-use development along these commercial corridors. The scenario also assumes some reduction in the scale of proposed land use projects that are outside county communities and city spheres of influence This scenario assumes development continues to occur in the rural unincorporated area to a lesser degree than in Scenario 1 Land Use Model Indicators The land use modeling process produces a set of land use indicators, including residential density, housing mix, and change in developed acres. An abbreviated set of land use modeling results are presented here B-3-3 9 Figure 1 —Change in Developed Acres About half as many acres are converted from non-urban land into built or urbanized land in Scenario 2 as opposed to Scenario 1 Change in Developed Acreage (2035 Scenarios 1 and 2) 40 000 36,674 35,000 - " 30 000 - ' 25 000 - � 20 000 - i�`w '' 16,845 15,000 - � 10 000 d 6i' 5,000 - 0 2035 Scenario 1 2035 Scenario 2 'Change in Developed Acreage Figure 2—Mix of Units by Type Scenario 2 represents the most 'reasonably anticipated" alternative Over the planning horizon of the RTP it would reduce the amount of rural development from the current 'business-as-usual" projection of 19% of total new development to 7%.

H4ii ii i' The short answer is - probably not much. Each iurisdiction s general plan will continue as it is — under the control and direction of the respective governing boards of each iurisdiction The PSCS will help shape SLOCOG's 2010 RTP and decisions regarding transportation funding allocations by placing a higher priority on projects that serve the Target Development Areas (i.e. the commercial and multifamily areas of each community) and less emphasis on the outlying fringe areas. The intermodal emphasis (maintaining an interconnected and balanced transportation network)of the RTP will remain. Limited funding will likely have a much greater impact on our ability to maintain service levels The plan will likely be increasing the transportation demand and management efforts as a means to help reduce demand and system capacity in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Little to no funding is projected for system expansion. We also believe that the emphasis on investments in the existing commercial and multifamily areas is the best economic strategy that will help improve and maintain our communities as well as provide better services for or residents and visitors. B-3-6 12 Next Steps (Post 2010 RTP) The more fully developed SCS that will be developed following the establishment of ARB GHG reduction targets that will become effective at the end of the year The SCS will be developed through a process that requires a new series of countywide meetings that will take a look at how we have been able to integrate the PSCS elements into our transportation planning process and how the various jurisdictions are seeing their respective futures in light of a more thorough analysis of housing demand Integration of long term housing demand will likely have the greatest impact in the subsequent SB 375 compliant RTP for SLOCOG and its member agencies Under SB 375 SLOCOG is required to prepare an SCS as part of the RTP addressing the following areas. • Identification of general land uses, residential densities, and building intensities within the region. • The SCS shall set forth a forecasted development pattern for the region, which, when integrated with the transportation network, and other transportation measures and policies, will reduce the regional greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and light trucks to achieve, if feasible, the regional greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets approved by the California Air Resources Board • In addition the SCS must identify areas within the region sufficient to house all of the current and projected population of the region, including all economic segments, over the course of the planning period of the Regional Transportation Plan. All economic segments means the extremely low, very low, low moderate, and above moderate income categories, as those categories are defined and used for purposes of the region s Regional Housing Needs Assessment pursuant to Section 65584 of the Government Code "Areas sufficient to house" could mean an aggregate number of acres designated at densities consistent with Section 65583.2(c)(3)(b) of the Government Code to accommodate the housing needs of very low and low income households. • SB 375 and the new CTC guidelines mandate the programming of revenues to further advance the adopted SCS ' • In projecting future housing needs, SLOCOG must take into account net migration into the region, population growth, household formation, and employment growth. The SCS is required to identify areas within SLOCOG's boundary sufficient to house the projection of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) as established pursuant to Housing Element Law (Government Code 65584) and in consultation with the California Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD). • The allocation of the region's housing needs must be consistent with the development pattern contained within the SCS (Government Code Section 6558401 (i) (1). State housing goals as specified in Government Code sections 65580 and 65581 must be considered in the SCS If SLOCOG does not adequately address the requirements of SB375 transportation funding will be withheld In addition, SB 375 requires that future voter initiatives for transportation funding will need to demonstrate that the proposed projects are consistent with the SCS SLOCOG would be unable to proceed with a legally defensible local option supplemental funding program without an RTP that is SB 375-compliant. ,%Wo'` B-3-7 13 J ITEM NUMBER A- 1 DATE. 03/09/10 18 e CITY OF A TA SCA DERO CITY COUNCIL DRAFT MINUTES Tuesday, January 26, 2010 City Hall Council Chambers 6907 EI Camino Real, Atascadero, California Community Redevelopment Agency Special Meeting• 6.00 P M City Council Immediately following the conclusion of the Community Redevelopment Agency meeting REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SPECIAL MEETING 6 00 P M.

(#A-4 Resolution No. 2010-002) UPDATES FROM THE CITY MANAGER City Manager Wade McKinney congratulated Steve Martin who, on behalf of Main Street, applied for a collaborative grant for Tourism Development through the United Way He received the grant which provides 16 hours of professional facilitator services to assist Main Street, the City, Chamber, Colony Days Committee, and Historical Society in the implementation of the City's Tourism Plan The City continues to struggle with the Historic City Hall project. As we have refined our construction documents, the cost has now grown to more than $40 million It was originally $30 million, of which approximately $27 million is funded by FEMA. We had originally anticipated the Redevelopment Agency funding approximately $8 5 million, that has now grown to approximately $13 million We are working with the architects to refine this process, keeping in mind that the building is a historic structure, which complicates the issue There has been a change on the development team for WalMart.

There are some that believe that things will get better from here, and some that argue that there may be a "W" affect; the economy may get a little better for a bit and then drop back down, and then get better again The future is yet to be seen, but it does sound like the worst of it has already been weathered While this news is somewhat encouraging, there is likely some time before there is a significant long-term improvement. 37 ITEM NUMBER. C- 1 DATE. 03/09/10 REVENUES • Revenues fell $1 4 million short of original budget projections for the fiscal year The City's three key revenue sources were included in the shortfalls property taxes, sales taxes, and development revenues The organization also saw decreases across the board in other areas also including motor vehicle in lieu, recreation, parks and zoo services, grants, and interest income Below is a table comparing 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 fiscal years COMPARATIVE INCOME STATEMENT 2007/2008 2008/2009 Actuals Actuals % Change $ Change Property Tax $ 7,511,886 $ 7,654,487 19% $ 142,601 Sales tax 3,547,696 3,019,523 149% (528,173) Other Taxes 1,620,473 1,739,497 73% 119 024 Intergovernmental 236,917 168,576 28.8% (68,341) FEMA/OES 569,124 11,914 -979% (557,210) Other Grants 42,920 53,164 23.9% 10,244 Service Charges " Mutual Aid 861,597 887,899 3.1% 26,302 Public safety 182,671 295,007 615% 112,336 Development 990,043 806,447 -18.5% (183 596) Recreation, zoo, parks & pavilion 590,606 569,707 3.5% (20 899) Interest 467,963 311,177 -33.5% (156 786) Interfund charges 1,043,102 1,020,251 -2.2% (22,851) Other 367,347 322,918 -12.1% (44 429) CFD Transfer 289,760 302,952 46% 13 192 Total revenues $ 18,322,105 $ 17,163,519 -6.3% (1 158,586) Employee services $ (13,446,396) $ (13,308,638) -10% 137 758 Operating supplies & services (5,436,146) (5,142,995) -5.4% 293 151 Special purchases (182,411) (293,071) 60.7% (110 660) Capital outlay (363,232) (31,082) -914% 332,150 Debt service (41,300) (41,517) 0.5% (217) Total expenses (19,469,485) (18,8179303) 3.3% $ 652,182 NET INCOME $ (1,147,380) $ (1,653,784) 38 ITEM NUMBER C- 1 DATE. 03/09/10 As the table shows, there was a modest increase in total property taxes For fiscal year 2008/2009, there was a noticeable slow-down in increases, but the effect of the County Assessor's more wide-spread base value write-downs will not be obvious on the bottom line until fiscal year 2009/2010 PROPERTYTAX REVENUE COMPARISON 2007/2008 2008/2009 Actuals Actuals % Change $ Change Secured Property Tax $ 4,875,993 $ 4,988,248 2.3% $112,255 Property tax in lieu of VLF 2,241,687 2,287,715 2.1% 46,028 Unsecured property tax 132,713 143,569 8.2% 10,856 Supplemental properrty tax 266,793 240,293 -99% (26,500) Prior year secured and unsecured (5,770) (5,338) 75% 432 Property tax penalities and interest 470 -

There were significant saving in both budgeted employee services and operating expenses Additionally, special and capital projects were held to a minimum The $2 million in expenditure savings along with some savings in transfers out to other funds, helped to offset the $1 4 million in revenues that came in under budget.

On July 14, 2009, the City Council adopted the Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) in compliance with the Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for Sanitary Sewer Systems (Water Quality Order No 2006-0003) Element 7 of the SSMP is the FOG Program The Atascadero Commercial FOG Program has been developed to assist restaurants, markets, gas stations and food handling facilities with proper handling and disposal of their fats, oils and grease Through implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) promoted by this program, these establishments should be able to significantly reduce the amount of FOG that flows down their drains This reduction will minimize the number of sewer back-ups and help business owners comply with the City's wastewater discharge limitations The Program will also help reduce the number and frequency of SSOs, reduce the severity of SSOs, reduce City costs associated with SSO cleanup, and reduce the liability and exposure to Atascadero 43 ITEM NUMBER C-2 DATE. 03/09/10 We recently experienced a SSO in the parking lot of City Hall due to wet weather sewer flows dislodging large fat deposits that accumulated at the City's siphon under Atascadero Creek, leading to a blockage and eventual discharge of sewage into the creek. This is exactly the type of spill this program is intended to reduce or eliminate The FOG Control Program describes procedures for the proper disposal of fats, oil and grease generated within the sewer system service area, requires installation of grease removal devices such as traps or interceptors, and requires periodic inspection of grease producing facilities such as restaurants, auto repair shops, carwashes, etc In addition to maintaining industry BMPs, the FOG program provides design standards for removal devices, maintenance requirements, record keeping requirements, and reporting requirements, all in accordance with State water quality mandates The Program is set to be instituted on the following schedule April - June o Begin educational outreach to identified fats, oils, and grease dischargers (commercial and industrial) concerning the elimination of FOG to the City's sewer system • Public Workshops to introduce program to Food Service Establishments (FSE) • Face-to-face business visits May o Report to Council regarding potential Municipal Code revisions • Tentatively scheduled for May 11 July o Begin educational outreach to residential users about prevention of fats, oils, and grease discharged to the City's sewer system • Workshop for resident awareness o Continue meeting with business owners at their locations to assist in developing their site-specific FOG control measure Ongoing o Provide progress reports annually, semi-annually or on an as-needed basis Public Education, inspection, sampling, and documentation will be the primary elements of the City's FOG program The staff's goal is to become a partner with local businesses to make the success of the program a cooperative effort. Public education offers the City the opportunity to give the public and industry an overview of the pretreatment program, provide assistance in program compliance and answer questions Inspection and sampling ensure that pollutants and wastes are being discharged and/or handled by the commercial or industrial user (IU) in compliance with the City's sewer use ordinance Documentation gives the City a hard copy of sampling, inspections and any other event that may have occurred Nfto 44 ITEM NUMBER C-2 DATE. 03/09/10 All required industries will receive periodic inspections Required industries will include, but are not limited to, restaurants, automotive repair shops, photofinishers, laundries, carwashes, dry cleaners, radiator shops, etc Inspections will be conducted on a semi- annual to monthly basis, depending on compliance and potential FOG volume As specified in the Monitoring Program and Program Audit elements of the SSMP, the City may update the SSMP as necessary in order to improve the effectiveness of the program However, any significant changes to the SSMP will require City Council approval and certification in accordance with the City's Waste Discharge Requirements established by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Conclusion. The Atascadero Commercial FOG Program was developed to assist a variety of businesses, restaurants and food handling facilities with proper handling and disposal of their fats, oils and grease, and it must be implemented in a manner sensitive to the economic realities of today's busi.ness climate Reducing the amount of chemicals, hazardous substances, and food waste that flows into the sewer system is good for the City's environmental health, reduces maintenance costs, and ultimately saves rate payers from increased sewer fees California's waterways can be a fragile environmental system and need our care and protection Atascadero has a reliable collection system and overflows are rare, however even the best sewage facilities have limitations It is critical that homeowners and businesses pay attention to the impact their actions have on water quality FISCAL IMPACT The City Council previously allocated funds in FY 2009-2011 budget to cover increases related to the professional development and staff training, and implementation and management of the Fats, Oils, and Grease Program The program is proceeding on time and under budget.
