Adopting the Land Use Analysis
Program
Attachment 1 : Staff Memo to Planning
Director dated September 21,
1992
RECOMMENDATION: 1) Hear Staff presentation.
2 ) Question Staff .
3 Deliberate.
4 ) Adopt Exhibit B, draft resolution
adopting the Land Use Analysis Program.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Proposition 111 will provide an estimated $121, 000 in Gas Tax
Funds for Fiscal Year 1992-93 . These Gas Tax Funds were originally
intended to be used to fund local street and roadway improvements and
are planned for such use in the 1992-93 budget. The City' s ability to
receive these funds is conditioned upon the City' s participation in
the Alameda County Congestion Management Program.
With the additional requirement of a Land Use Analysis Program to
the other programs already required of the City by the CMA, Staff
anticipates that the 1992-93 cost of participating in the CMA is as
follows :
CMA IMPOSED PROGRAMS
Lane Use Analysis Program $11,700 - $29, 000
Trip Reduction and Implementation 23, 863*- 23,863*
Contribution for CMA Staff Costs 10, 326 - 10, 326
$45, 889 - 63, 189
*Represents net cost. Actual estimated cost $33, 863 offset by
$10, 000 in AB 434 license fees .

Net Gas Tax Funds available for street improvements : $57 , 811 -
$75, 111 .
Given the current level of staffing in the Planning Department,
undertaking this program will result in increased turnaround time in
reviewing planning applications, building permits, business licenses
and responding to customers regarding planning and zoning questions .
If additional CMA programs are required, the cost/benefit of
continued participation should be closely evaluated.
DESCRIPTION:
In June of 1990, voters approved Propositions 108 and 111 that
govern transportation planning in the state. Under Proposition 111
local governments will receive the new fuel tax subventions by
complying with Congestion Management Programs aimed at controlling
traffic on California' s transportation facilities. As a condition for
receiving fuel tax subventions, the Alameda County Congestion
Management Agency (CMA) in addition to other urban county CMAs in the
state, is required to develop and annually update a Congestion
Management Plan. The CMA adopted the 1991 Alameda County Congestion
Management Plan (CMP) on October 21, 1991 .
In compliance with the CMP, the City of Dublin is required to
adopt a land use analysis program by October 1, 1992 . A draft of this
program is attached as Exhibit A. Under state law this is a mandatory
component to be included in CMPs . The purpose of Dublin' s Land Use
Analysis Program would be to analyze the impacts of land use decisions
on the CMP network ( I-580 and I-680 Freeways within Dublin city
limits) on an annual basis .
The Land Use and Analysis Program is a two-tiered information and
review process of local land use projects . Tier I - General Plan
Amendment (GPA) requires the City to report GPA applications to the
CMA for impacts on the CMP system and inclusion of these impacts and
mitigation measures into environmental documentation for the project.
Tier II - Annual Forecast Land Use Projections Update requires the
City to annually update land use projections for the Year 2000 and
Year 2010 for input into the CMP Countywide Transportation Model .
These projections take into account market trends, number of building
permits issued and other GPA applications .
The CMP requires land use data to be broken down by population
and/or type of employment within each traffic analysis zone (see the
GPA Summary Data Form and Table 1 of Exhibit A) . The CMP requires
annual forecasts for the Year 2000 and Year 2010 . The City will also
need to estimate existing land use data in order to prepare Year 2000
and Year 2010 totals .
The CMA will use this data to update the Countywide Travel Demand
Model ' s land use database. The model results will be distributed to
Public Works and Planning Staff for analysis and understanding the
-2-
compounded effect of all projected land use changes of the roadway
system.
If the City fails to adopt a land use analysis program in
compliance with the CMP, the CMA may find the City in nonconformance
with the CMP and the City' s Proposition 111 gas tax subventions may be
withheld.
Costs to Implement the Land Use Analysis Program
The staffing costs to implement the Land Use Analysis Program
(both Tier I and Tier II ) during 1992-93 would range from $11, 700 to
$29 ,040 ( 360 to 880 staff hours) . If a traffic study is needed, the
CMP compliance portion would range from $3,000 to $5, 000 .
If Staff processes a private project through the program,
potential reimbursement would range from $40 to $5,640 ( 1 to 87 Staff
hours; $3,000 traffic modeling and CMA staffing) .
Ongoing staffing costs are unknown.
Implementing the Program' s Tier I component will involve staff
time (Associate Planner and Senior Civil Engineer) to report GPA
applications to the CMA, interpret model runs and assure/verify that
GPA traffic impacts and mitigation measures are adequately
incorporated into environmental documents . Depending on the project' s
impacts, staff time could range from 1) a minimum of 1 to 2 hours, up
to 2 ) 30 to 87 hours . There might also be traffic consultant costs .
For private development projects, the City is recommending
charging the applicant $3, 000 to pay the City for developing the Tri-
Valley Traffic Model and for CMA staffing, and a $500 - $1, 000 deposit
for Public Works Staff to review the results of the model run. The
Applicant would also be responsible for any traffic consultant costs .
For public projects with significant traffic impacts and
mitigation measures, the City will hire a consultant to prepare a
traffic impact analysis and mitigation measures for inclusion in
environmental documents (approximately $3,000 - $5,000 for CMA
compliance) . Public Works Staff would review the consultant' s work.
Implementing the Program' s Tier II component will involve
approximately 360 to 790 Planning Staff hours for the first year to
conduct residential and nonresidential forecast land use projections
for the Year 2000 and Year 2010 . Planning Staff will need to estimate
existing land use data in order to prepare Year 2000 and Year 2010
totals . Each future year should require fewer Staff hours and would
depend on then current market and development trends . Conducting land
use projections can be entirely funded by fuel tax subventions from
Proposition 111, however those funds are currently designated for
street maintenance expenditures .
-3-
Attachment 1 lists the tasks required for completing the Tier I
and Tier II components of the Land Use Analysis Program. Each task is
assigned a Public Works and/or Planning Staff member, including Staff
hours and cost for completing each task.
Future Program Modifications
The CMA is requesting that the City of Dublin adopt the Land Use
Analysis Program (Exhibit A) , which conforms to the ,CMA Tier I and
Tier II Land Use Analysis Program Guidelines . Although Staff is
recommending that the City Council adopt the Land Use Analysis
Program, it is likely that the CMA will find it necessary to modify
the CMP and the Land Use Analysis Guidelines . Rather than bringing
every modification back to the City Council for approval, Staff
recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve
minor amendments to the Land Use Analysis Program.

City of Dublin
Tier I , Land Use Analysis Program
General Plan Amendment
September 28, 1992
Background
In June of 1990, California voters approved Propositions 108 and
111 that govern transportation planning in the state. The new
legislation increased fuel tax by 9 cents per gallon and authorized
bonds for rail transit. Under Proposition 111 local governments will
receive the new fuel tax subventions by complying with Congestion
Management Programs (CMPs) aimed at controlling traffic on
California ' s transportation facilities . As a condition for receiving
fuel tax subventions, the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency
(CMA) in addition to other urban county CMAs in the state, is required
to develop and annually update a CMP.
The Alameda County CMP adopted on October 24 , 1991 requires the
City of Dublin and other Alameda County cities, to adopt a Land Use
Analysis Program in compliance with the CMP. Proposition 111 gas tax
subventions to the City may be withheld if the City fails to meet this
requirement and provisions of the Land Use Analysis Program. The
City of Dublin' s Land Use Analysis Program intends to analyze the
impacts of land use decisions made by the City of Dublin on regional
transportation systems ( I-580 and I-680 Freeways within Dublin city
limits) and estimate the costs associated with mitigating the impacts .
Land development projects proposed by Dublin will be reviewed by the
CMA to assure that appropriate mitigations are in place or underway at
the time of project occupancy.
The Land Use Analysis Program has two tiers . Tier I requires the
City of Dublin to report General Plan Amendment (GPA) applications to
the CMA. Tier II requires the City to annually update land use
projections .
Land Use Analysis Program Requirements - Tier I
1 . For each GPA application estimated to generate 100 or more
additional p.m. peak hour trips above that assumed for the CMP
target year 2000, the City of Dublin will submit to the CMA a
complete GPA summary data sheet (see Attachment A-1) . All
relevant GPA data will be provided to the CMA within the initial
scoping period specified by the CEQA. The data required by the
CMA includes :
■ Description and map of the precise location of the project.
■ Location of proposed street access and relationship to CMP
roadway system.
■ Description of types of uses in the project (e.g. , single
family dwelling units; low income senior housing units,
etc. )
"r I IT AH B
A
■ Qualification of the uses, such as number of dwelling units,
square feet of commercial use, number of jobs, etc.
■ Traffic studies prepared for the project (if any) .
■ Expected occupancy date (year) . If a multi-phase project,
then the expected occupancy date of each phase.
■ Degree of completion ( ie. , occupancy) by the CIP target year
(2000) . '-
2 . The CMA will model the subject GPA on the CMP roadway system (in
isolation of other GPA applications) using the Tri-Valley
Transportation Plan Model (CMA approved sub-area model) . The
City of Dublin will notify the CMA in writing their intention to
use the sub-area model for the Tier I Land Use Analysis Program.
3 . The Tri-Valley Transportation Plan modelling data (consisting of
travel speeds, traffic volumes, and volume to capacity ratios)
will be sent to the City of Dublin Public Works Department within
14 calendar days of the CMA receiving a fully completed and
acceptable GPA application. The Public Works Department will
analyze the impacts and identify mitigation measures of the
subject GPA on the CMP roadway system using the Tri-Valley
Transportation Plan modelling data.
4 . The City of Dublin Planning and Public Works Departments will
incorporate the traffic analysis and mitigation measures into the
environmental documentation prepared for the subject GPA and
submit the document to the CMA for review and comment. The
minimum public review period for draft Environmental Impact
Reports (EIRs) is 30 days, or 45 days when the draft is submitted
to the State Clearinghouse for review, and 21 days for Negative
Declarations .
5 . The City of Dublin Planning Department will notify the CMA within
14 calendar days after the subject GPA has been approved. The
CMA will then update the Countywide Travel Demand Model Land Use
Database.
Exceptions
A GPA (that is estimated to generate 100 or more additional p.m.
peak hour trips ) is exempt from this Tier I GPA Land Use Analysis
Program if :
1 . it is adopted before October 1, 1992, and/or:
2 . a Notice of Preparation for a Draft Environmental Impact Report
or Negative Declaration for the subject GPA has been distributed
for public comment before October 1, 1992 .
'A process to ensure analysis of GPA impacts beyond the level of
completion by the target year will be developed during 1992-1993 .
2 -
As stated in the CMP legislation (Section 65089 . 3(c) (5) ) ,
"traffic generated by the provision of low and very low income
housing" shall be excluded from the determination of conformance with
Level of Service (LOS) standards . Therefore, vehicle trips generated
by low or very low income housing may be discounted in determining the
LOS on the CMP roadway system. The City of Dublin Public Works and
Planning Departments will provide the CMA a written report describing
the low income housing types, the number of low income housing vehicle
trips that were subtracted and the methodology used- to identify and
subtract these trips .
Attachment A-2 depicts the review process for assessing impacts
of local land development decisions on the CMP network.

City of Dublin
Tier II , Land Use Analysis Program
Annual Forecast Land Use Projections Update
September 28, 1992
Land Use Analysis Program Requirements - Tier II
1 . The City of Dublin Planning Department will update Dublin' s
forecast of land use projections annually for the CMP target
year, The CMP target year is the last year covered in the seven
year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for a given CMP. For the
1991 CMP, the target year is 1998 . Since a 1998 land use
database is not available, the CMA will use year 2000 forecasts
as the target year forecasts for the first CMP cycle.
2 . For the first CMP year ( 1992) there will be only one data
submittal . The Countywide Travel Demand Model ' s land use
database will be updated accordingly. Model runs depicting
operating conditions on the CMP roadway system will be generated
by the CMA and distributed to the City of Dublin Public Works
Department for analysis .
Data Submittal Schedule
1 . Year 2000 and 2010 forecast land use projections will be
submitted to the CMA no later than February 1, 1993 .
2 . In future CMP years, year 2000 and 2010 forecast land use
projections will be submitted annually to the CMA no later than
August 1 of each year (beginning in 1994 ) .
The CMA will incorporate the land use changes into the Countywide
Travel Demand Model ' s land use database. By September 1 of each year
the CMA will prepare a countywide model run of operating conditions on
the CMP roadway system using the revised land use database. The data
from these model runs '(consisting of traffic volumes, speeds, and
Volume to Capacity ratios) will be distributed to the City of Dublin
to be used in understanding the compounded effect of all projected
land use changes of the roadway system.
Data Requirements
Annual land use updates must be transmitted to the CMA. Land use
updates should include all forecast land use projections anticipated
to occur in addition to GPAs that have been approved in the last year.
The City should also take into account market trends . Adopted GPAs
submitted to the CMA in connection with the Tier I, GPA Land Use
Analysis Program, need not be resubmitted.
If the City of Dublin does not have any forecast land use
projections to submit to the CMA, this must be indicated in writing
and submitted to the CMA. If the City of Dublin fails to submit
either a land use projections update or letter stating there are no
land use updates by the August deadline, Dublin may be found in
nonconformance with the CMP.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 21, 1992
TO: Larry Tong, Plannin Director
FROM: Carol R. Cirelli, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Alameda County Congestion Management Program - Land Use
Analysis Program Implementation
In compliance with the 1991 Alameda County Congestion Management
Program (CMP) adopted by the Alameda County Congestion Management
Agency (CMA) on October 24, 1991, the City of Dublin is required to
adopt a land use analysis program by October 1, 1992 . Under State
law, this is a mandatory element to be included in CMPs . A draft of
the Dublin' s program is attached. There are two parts to the program,
Tier I - General Plan Amendment Application requires local
jurisdictions to report General Plan Amendment applications to the
CMA, and Tier II - Annual Land Use Update requires jurisdictions to
annually update land use projections, taking into account market
trends .
The CMP requires land use data to be broken down by population
and/or type of employment within each traffic analysis zone (see
attached GPA Summary Data Form and Table 1) . The CMP requires annual
forecasts for the Year 2000 and Year 2010 . The City will also need to
estimate existing land use data in order to prepare Year 2000 and Year
2010 totals .
The purpose of the CMP is to analyze the impacts of land use
decisions on the CMP network ( I-580 and I-680 within Dublin City
limits ) on an annual basis . If the City fails to adopt a land use
analysis program in compliance with the CMP, the CMA may find the City
in nonconformance with the CMP and the City' s Proposition 111 gas tax
subventions may be withheld.
The following is a list of tasks that need to be completed for
the land use analysis program (Tier I and Tier II) . Public Works
and/or Planning Staff is assigned to each task, including staff hours
needed and cost for completing each task.
Tier I --General Plan Amendment (GPA) Application
1 . Determine 100 or more additional p.m peak hour trips for each
GPA application.
Staff : Public Works Department - Senior Civil Engineer
- 1 -
AtMmt I
Hours : 1-2 hours (with complete square footage, number of dwelling
unit and other land use information)
Cost: Staff time ( if private project, will be charged to
applicant)
If the project will not generate 100 or more additional p.m. peak hour
trips, further compliance with the Land Use Analysis Program is not
necessary.
2 . Complete GPA Summary Data Form (attached to draft Land Use
Analysis Program)
Staff : Planning Department - Associate Planner
Public Works Department - Senior Civil Engineer ,(Determine
relationship of GPA to the Congestion Management Plan (CMP)
roadway system; develop methodology for identifying and
subtracting trips generated by low or very low income
housing units from total trips generated by GPA project, #1
and #4 on the GPA Summary Data Form) .
Hours : Planning - 5-10 hours
Public Works - 3-5 hours
Cost: Staff time ( if private project, will be charged to
applicant)
3 . Model GPA on the CMP roadway system. The City will have the CMA
run the Tri-Valley Model and this is no additional cost to the City
other than what the City already pays for CMA staffing and the Tri-
Valley model costs . The City may establish a fee to the Applicant to
run the model . Staff is recommending charging the applicant ( for a
private development project) $3, 000 to pay the City for developing the
model and for CMA staffing. The applicant would also be required to
deposit $500 - $1, 000 for Public Works Staff to review the results of
the model run ( 10 - 20 staff hours) .
If the results of the model run show no project impacts, it is not
necessary for staff to proceed with the next step, #4 .
4 . Analyze impacts and identify mitigation measures of the GPA on
the CMP roadway system and incorporate analysis and mitigation
measures into the EIR or ND.
Staff : Consultant for private/City project, and Public Works Staff
Hours : a. private project with major impacts and mitigation
measures :
20-30 hours for Staff ' s review of consultant' s traffic
study
Cost: Staff time (will be charged to the applicant)
- 2 -
Hours : b. City project with major impacts and mitigation
measures :
8 - 40 hours Staff time for reviewing consultant ' s work
3 - 10 hours Staff time for CMA compliance
Cost: Estimated minimum cost - $10, 000 - $14, 000 (project
processing - $7 ,000 - $9 , 000; CMA compliance - $3, 000 -
$5, 000) . This is estimated cost to hire a consultant for
preparing traffic impact analysis and mitigation measures
for the environmental documentation
5 . Notify CMA within 14 calendar days after GPA has been approved.
Staff : Planning Department - Associate Planner
Hours : . 5 hour
Cost: Staff time ( if private project, will be charged to
applicant)
Summary
Depending on project impacts, implementation of Tier I could
require 30 to 85 Staff hours, plus potential consultant costs for the
traffic study. A private project would be charged for any Staff
hours, modeling costs, and consultant costs .
Tier II - Annual Land Use Update
1 . Submit Year 2000, and Year 2010 forecast land use projections
annually to the CMA no later than August 1 of each year beginning in
1994 ( for this year, it would be February 1, 1993) . Land use updates
are to include all forecast land use projections anticipated to occur
in addition to GPAs approved within the last year (except those GPAs
submitted to the CMA under Tier I) . These forecast updates should
take into account current market trends .
Staff : Planning Department - Associate/Senior Planner
Hours : Dennis C. has updated land use information for residential
developments by TAZs . However, the City does not currently have
updated land use information for nonresidential developments . In
order to attain this information, Staff must research Building
Department files . Approximately 98% of nonresidential building square
footage information is available in files kept by the Building
Department. All nonresidential developments completed within about
the last three years must be obtained from CeCe' s 'current building
permit files .
Land use projections are necessary for the existing Dublin area,
including the future Eastern and Western Dublin Planning Areas . Staff
3 -
time would be spent identifying and projecting existing, Year 2000 and
Year 2010 floor area and land use information for each multi-family,
nonresidential and public/semi-public land uses ( 325 parcels for
existing Dublin area) and aggregating this information per land use
category up to each Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ ) and overall City and
future Eastern and Western Dublin Planning Areas .
Hours : 360 - 790 Staff hours for this year. Each future year
should require fewer staff hours and would depend on then current
market and development trends .
