SUBJECT: In the Matter of the Evaluation )
of the Tri Valley Transportation 1
Plan/Action Plan, 2nd Draft 1
RESOLUTION NO. 94/387
The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County RESOLVES THAT:
WHEREAS, the Measure C-1988 Growth Management Program (Measure C-1988) compliance
requirements for Regional Routes requires each jurisdiction to implement specified local actions designed to
attain Traffic Service Objectives (TSO's) in a timely manner, consistent with adopted Action Plans;
WHEREAS, the Draft Tri Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan, 2nd Draft (Draft Action Plan),
proposes local actions that include growth controls and prohibits certain transportation improvements that,
coupled with the Level of Service TSO's, would preempt local land use decisions on proposals that are
currently under review by the Board of Supervisors;
WHEREAS Measure C-1988 compliance requirements cannot preempt local land use decisions or
require local jurisdictions to accept unwanted construction projects;
WHEREAS the Draft Action Plan includes a TSO for Bollinger Canyon Road that is not consistent with
the minimum Level of Service standard required for development in the Dougherty Valley;
WHEREAS the Draft Action Plan includes statements interpreting the Dougherty Valley Settlement
Agreement that are inconsistent with the interpretation of the Board of Supervisors;
WHEREAS the Draft Action Plan does not substantiate at this time that the actions it recommends
or potential actions, will reasonably ensure compliance with the TSO's in 2010;
WHEREAS the Draft Action Plan does not provide an adequate nexus between the recommended
regional fees to be paid by new development in Contra Costa with the benefit these fees provide such
development;
WHEREAS various other actions in the Draft Action Plan do not reflect the Board's concerns in
managing regional traffic impacts from future growth in the Tri Valley area;
WHEREAS all affected jurisdictions must agree to the actions before the Action Plans are finalized
and adopted; and
WHEREAS this resolution does not conflict with the condition included in the Contra Costa
Transportation Authority's July 20, 1994 approval on the County's Measure C-1988 Annual Compliance
Checklist regarding the application of certain traffic level of service standards for intersection in Danville and
San Ramon.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County to support
the following modifications to the Draft Action Plan:
Recommended actions for growth limits outside the Dougherty Valley Specific Plan area shall be
deleted from the Action Plan;
Recommended prohibitions to road improvements in Danville shall be deleted from the Action Plan
and replaced with a process for meeting TSO's that will not impose an unwanted construction project
in Danville or preempt local land use decisions on proposals that are currently under review by the
Board of Supervisors. This process for meeting TSO's should be defined as follows:
In order to meet the TSO requirements, the level of development that may be
approved by a local jurisdiction shall be consistent with the identified
transportation improvements and programs for which funding is reasonably
assured. Other jurisdictions may elect not to implement such improvements
and programs within their jurisdiction, and the minimum Level of Service may
then be exceeded without violating the TSO.
