A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO
APPROVING EXEMPTION FROM
THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, AB 2419 (Bowler) amends existing statutes to not require the
incorporation of the congestion management program (CMP) into the regional
transportation improvement program in those counties that do not elect to prepare
and maintain a congestion management program; and
WHEREAS, AB 2419 deletes the trip reduction element requirement for the
CMP; and
WHEREAS, AB 2419 makes the requirements inapplicable in a county in which
a majority of the cities, with a majority of the population within incorporated areas,
and the County Board of Supervisors adopt resolutions electing to be exempt from
the congestion management program; and
WHEREAS, The Ten-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) required under
the CMP largely duplicates the other capital improvement programs that are prepared
such as the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), the Federal
Transportation Improvement Program, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in the
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), and the CIP's in Transit Plans; and
WHEREAS, The CMP law requires annual compilation and reporting of all land
use and development activity and the conformity process requires the Congestion
Management Agency to determine member agency compliance with congestion
management efforts and may require remedial measures and possible withholding of
funds; and
WHEREAS, The level-of-service performance standards can be handled in a
manner that gives greater flexibility to local agencies through the regional
transportation planning and programming process; and
WHEREAS, Evaluation of all major state highways and regional routes of
significance in ongoing monitoring programs and integration of the findings and
recommendations into the RTP update process can be used to address these
concerns; and
WHEREAS, Local agencies can continue efforts to facilitate reductions in
traffic congestion and develop integrated transportation systems and should continue
to include congestion mitigation concepts in their land use and circulation elements
and ordinances.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Atascadero elects to be
exempt from the congestion management program; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED AND ORDERED that the City of Atascadero will
cooperate and work closely with efforts to reduce congestion within the region.
