DRAFT GUIDELINES Alameda County CMA Tier I (GPA) Land Use Analysis Program April 24, 1992 Background The October 24, 1991 Alameda County Congestion Management Program (CMP), requires that local jurisdictions conform with the CMP Land Use Analysis Program. The Land Use Analysis Program has two tiers. Tier I requires jurisdictions to report general plan amendment (GPA) applications to the CMA, and Tier II is a semi-annual land use update requirement. Guidelines for conforming with the Tier I program are presented in this document. Refer to the CMA document entitled, Tier H GPA Land Use Analysis Program for the requirements and guidelines of the Tier II Program. Conformance Requirements To conform with the Tier I Program, local jurisdictions are required to do the following by the indicated dates: ' 1.

Send the CMA relevant data (see Data Requirements, below) for GPA applications estimated to generate 100 or more additional pm peak hour trips. The CMA will model the subject GPA in isolation (not including other GPA applications) on the CMP roadway system using the Countywide Travel Demand Model. GPA applications and relevant data should be provided to the CMA at the earliest possible date. Analyze the impact and identify mitigation measures of the subject GPA on the CMP roadway system using CMA travel demand modelling data. The modelling data (consisting of travel speeds, traffic volumes, and Volume to Capacity ratios) will be sent to the jurisdictions within 14 calendar days of the CMA receiving a fully completed and acceptable GPA application. Incorporate analyses and mitigation measures (in 3 above) into the environmental documentation prepared for the subject GPA and submit document to the CMA for review and comment. The maximum review period for environmental documentation is 45 days for Environmental Impact Reports and 21 days for Negative Declarations, but may be extended by agreement with the local jurisdiction. 5.
