FISCAL IMPACT None BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS On May 10, 2004, the Transportation Water and Infrastructure Committee (Committee) discussed the reauthorization of Measure C-88, the half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements and growth management. The Committee requested that the Board members be provided with the background material that the Committee reviewed at this meeting. Exhibit A is a copy of an electronic message from Robert McCleary, Executive Director of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (Authority), which was received by the County Administrative Officer on May 7 2004. The message complies with a request made by the Mayor's Conference on May 0. The Mayor's Conference requested that all jurisdictions receive the most recent version of the Expenditure Plan, Project/Program Descriptions, the proposed Growth Management Program, copies of letters from Danville and the SWAT Committee, and the Measure C Renewal Event Schedule. Mr. McCleary's message also summarizes the outcome of the May 5th meeting of the Authority's Planning Committee. The Transportation Water and Infrastructure Committee recommends that no further changes be made to the Expenditure Plan or to the Project/Program descriptions. The Transportation Water and Infrastructure Committee recommends that the Board consider the Danville and SWAT letters. The Committee is supportive of the Danville proposal for the housing requirement to the Growth Management Program. The Committee has a significant concern with the proposal by the SWAT Committee on the Urban Limit Line(ULL) requirement. We object to an ULL that would be contiguous with a city's"planning area". The planning area for some jurisdictions goes far beyond Sphere of Influence boundaries.

At the May 6th Mayors Conference, a request was made for the Authority to forward the packet of information and other available material to the City Councils for their review and comment. Comments should be received prior to May 19th. 2. Three main items were discussed on May 6th: (1)the Authority's "Working Draft" Expenditure Plan; (2)potential revised requirements relative to housing for local jurisdiction compliance with the Growth Management Program; and (3) a potential new requirement for conformance with an Urban Limit Line(ULL)within the Growth Management Program. Compliance with both items (2) and(3)would be necessary for each local jurisdiction to receive its formula share of 18% of the sales tax revenues -- currently$12 million per year in aggregate-- as well as to be eligible for projects in the proposed new Transportation for Livable Communities(TLC) category of capital improvements. Attached for your reference are: I. The Working Draft Expenditure Plan; 2. A summary and a more detailed description of the project and program components of the "Working Draft" Expenditure Plan; 3. A description of the proposed Growth Management Program, including discussion of options for items (2) and(3) above; 4. Copies of letters from Danville, and from the Southwest Area Transportation Committee(SWAT),relative to the housing question. 5. Measure C Renewal Event Schedule. The Authority's Planning Committee has recommended option 1 for housing compliance, while forwarding the Danville and SWAT letters to the Authority for further discussion; and a "mutually-agreeable" urban limit line. Your jurisdiction's positions on these three items would be helpful to the Authority, and should be received by May 19th. Please feel free to contact me at 256-4724, Paul Maxwell at 256-4735, or Martin Engelmann at 2.56-4729 if you have any questions.

As required under the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act(SB 142, Chapter 786, Statutes of 1987: principally Sections 180000 et seq. of the Public Utilities Code— hereinafter"the Act"), the expenditures are "for the construction and improvement of state highways, the construction,maintenance,improvement, and operation of local streets,roads, and highways,and the construction,improvement, and operation of public transit systems" (including paratransit services) (Cal. Pub. Util. Code §180205), and for specific efforts supporting such investments. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PRO ECTS Major capital projects are described below. Funding levels include an estimate of the cost of financing necessary to accelerate major,critical projects into the first five to seven years of the extension--2010 through 2016. Project financial plans will include other sources of funds, particularly state and federal funds obtained through the State Transportation Improvement Program(STIP), discretionary state and federal grants, local mitigation fees, and other sources as they become available. It is understood that major projects will generally bear the cost of financing their advancement,but that bond proceeds and cash will be used to expeditiously deliver other projects as well,as will be set forth in the Authority's Strategic Plan. Caldecott Tunnel($125 million Construct a fourth bore with two traffic lanes plus shoulders to match the through-lane capacity on both sides of the tunnel to significantly reduce delays,improve the predictability of travel, and eliminate the existing bottleneck in the non-peals direction.

COUNTWIDE CAPITAL AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS BART Parking,Access, and Other Impr= r�. vemcn $36 million Construct improvements to BART such as additional parking, station access, capacity, safety and operational improvements. As part of the review process, BART and the affected RTPC(s) are expected to mutually agree on the proposed project(s). Local Streets Maintenance& Improvements (18%): $360 million Funds may be used for any transportation purpose eligible under the Act and to comply with the Growth Management Program requirements. This existing program will continue distributing 18 percent of the annual sales tax revenues to all local jurisdictions with a base allocation of$50,000 for each, the balance to be distributed based 50 percent on relative population and 50 percent on road miles for each jurisdiction, subject to compliance with the Authority's revised Growth Management DRAFT# 15,May 6,2004 6 5/20/2004;4:28 PM Exhibit A Page Number 9 Program (GMP). As appropriate,components for routine accommodation of bicycle and pedestrian travel shall be incorporated as part of construction projects. Transportation for Livable Communities Project Grants { %}: $100 million This category is intended to explicitly link transportation and land use planning. The program will invest in specific transportation projects that facilitate, support and/or catalyze developments or activities that encourage the use of alternatives to the single occupant vehicle and promote walking, bicycling, and/or transit usage.Typical activities include pedestrian,bicycle,and streetscape facilities, traffic calming, and transit access improvements. Both planning grants and specific transportation capital projects may receive funding under this program. Jurisdictions will be eligible for projects that meet the eligibility criteria if they are in compliance with the Growth Management Program at the time a grant is approved for funding allocation by the Authority. Eligible projects will be recommended to the Authority by the RTPCs,with each RTPC proposing projects for five, five-year periods. RTPC programming targets will be based on the relative population share of each in 2009, and adjusted every five years thereafter. Criteria are to include flexibility so that urban, suburban and rural communities can be eligible. Pedestrian,Bicycle, and Trail Facilities (1%): $20 million This category will provide funds on a countywide basis for pedestrian and bicycle facilities including regional trails. Other potential funding categories for pedestrian/bicycle/trail facilities include: Major Streets: Traffic Flow/Safety/Capacity; Safe Transportation for Children;Local Streets and Road Maintenance; and the Transportation for Livable Communities Project grants. OTHER. COUNTYWIDE PROGRAMS The following programs will be available to fund countywide operational programs, based on a specific percentage of annual revenues received. With respect to transit operations (bus, transportation for seniors and people with disabilities, and express bus), the Authority will allocate funds on an annual basis and will establish guidelines (in cooperation with transit operators) so that the additional revenues will fund additional service in Contra Costa. The guidelines may require provisions such as maintenance of effort,a specified minimum allowable farebox return, and reserves for capital replacement, etc. For the transit operating programs (Bus Services,Transportation for Seniors &People with Disabilities, and Express Bus) for years in which sales tax revenues increase at or above the change in the CPI, the Authority will require that each recipient/operator retain up to 3 percent of its annual allocation to accumulate in a reserve. The reserve would be available as a contingency for application when one or more periods of decline in sales tax revenues,in inflation-adjusted dollars, requires application of the funds to"smooth out" the flow of revenues. The reserves would be available to sustain operations in the event of such economic downturns. Bus Services (5%a L $100 million This program provides funding for bus service provided by Contra Costa transit operators to alleviate traffic congestion and improve mobility in Contra Costa. Funds can be used to purchase DRAFT# 15,May 6,2004 7 5/10/2004;4.28 PM Exhibit A Page Number 10 transit vehicles, service operations,maintenance and capital programs to assist operators in the implementation of adopted plans. The percentage of program funding now flowing to the bus transit operators will continue. Reflecting the current distribution among the four parts of the county, the percentage of annual revenues will be distributed as follows,provided that the bus transit operators jointly consult and collectively report to the Authority each year on any proposed changes to the services that are currently funded from Measure C revenues,and the Authority concurs with the change: • AC Transit, 2% ($40 million); • County Connection, 2% ($40 million); + Tri-Delta Transit,0.4% ($8 million); • WestCAT, 0.6% ($12 million); Golden Gate Transit Service from Richmond to Marin shall be funded at the discretion of WCCTAC and West County operators from the West Contra Costa transit funds. Under the sub-regional programs, additional increments of 2%, and 1.2% of annual revenues, are available for West and Central County, respectively. Transportation for Seniors & People With Disabilities (5%): $100 million Transportation for Seniors &People With Disabilities or"Paratransit" services can be broadly divided into two categories: (1) services required to be provided by transit operators under the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) to people with disabilities; and (2) services not required by law but desired by community interests—either for those with disabilities beyond the requirements of the ADA (for example, extra hours of service orgr eater geographic coverage), or for non-ADA seniors. All current recipients of Measure C funds will continue to receive their FY 2008-09 share of the "base"Measure C allocation to continue existing programs if they so desire,subject to Authority confirmation that services are consistent with the relevant policies and procedures adopted by the Authority. Revenue growth above the base allocations willbe utilized to expand paratransit services and providers eligible to receive these funds. Paratransit funding will be increased from the current 2.97% to 3.5 % of annual revenues for the first year of the new program, FY 2009-10. Thereafter, the percentage of annual revenues will increase by 0.10%each year, to 5.9 %in 2034 (based on a 25-year program). In 2003 dollars,this averages to 4.7 %over the life of the program,which has been rounded to 5 %to provide some flexibility and an opportunity to maintain a small reserve to offset the potential impact of economic cycles. The distribution of funding will be as follows: • West County paratransit program allocations will start at 1.225% of annual revenues in FY 2009-10, and grow by 0.035%of annual revenues each year thereafter to 2.065% of annual revenues in FY 2033-34. (An additional increment of 0.65% of annual revenues is available for West County under its sub-regional program category.) In addition to the current providers,paratransit service provided by AC Transit and BART (East Bay Paratransit Consortium) in West County is an eligible recipient of program funds.

PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS The objective of the sub-regional Programs and projects category is to respect the diversity of the county by allowing each sub-region to propose projects/programs that are critical to addressing transportation needs in its locale. Each Regional Transportation Planning Committee tRTPC) has identified specific projects/programs which include: school bus programs, safe routes to school activities,pedestrian/bicycle trails,incremental transit services over the base program,incremental transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities over the base program,incremental local street and roads maintenance using the population and road-miles formula,major streets traffic flow/safety/capacity improvements, and ferry services. With respect to transit operations (bus, transportation for seniors and people with disabilities, ferries and express bus), the Authority will allocate funds on an annual basis and will establish guidelines tin cooperation with transit operators) so that the additional revenues will fund additional service in Contra Costa. The guidelines may require provisions such as maintenance of effort, a specified minimum allowable farebox return, and reserves for capital replacement, etc. In order for an allocation to be made by the Authority for a sub-regional project and program,it must be included in the Authority's Strategic Plan.

I The Authority shall,to the extent possible,attempt to harmonize the Growth Management and Conges- tion Management Programs.To the extent they conflict,Congestion Management Program activities shall take precedence over Growth Management Program activities. PAGE 1 OF 1 Exhibit A Page Number 17 PROPOSED G�t� �� ENT PROGRAM COMPONENTS To receive its share of Local Transportation Maintenance and Improvement funds and to be eligi- ble for Contra Costa Transportation for Livable Communities funds, each jurisdiction must: 1 . Adopt a Growth Management Element Each jurisdiction must adopt a Growth Management Element as part of its General Plan that outlines the jurisdiction's goals and policies for managing growth and requirements for achieving those goals.The Growth Management Element must show how the jurisdiction will comply with sections 2-7 below.The Authority shall refine its model Growth Management Element and administrative procedures in consultation with the Regional Transportation Planning Committees to reflect the revised Growth Management Program. Each jurisdiction is encouraged to incorporate other standards and procedures into its Growth Management Element to support the objectives and required components of this Growth Management Program. 2, Adapt a Development Mitigation Program Each jurisdiction must adopt,or maintain in place, a development mitigation program to en- sure that new growth is paying its share of the costs associated with that growth.This pro- gram shall consist of both a local program to mitigate impacts on local streets and other facilities and a regional program to fund regional and subregional transportation projects, consistent with the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The jurisdiction's local development mitigation program shall ensure that revenue provided from this measure shall not be used to replace private developer funding that has or would have been committed to any project. The regional development mitigation program shall establish fees,exactions, assessments or other mitigation measures to fund regional or subregional transportation improvements needed to mitigate the impacts of planned or forecast development.Regional mitigation pro- grams may adjust such fees, exactions,assessments or other mitigation measures when de- velopments are within walking distance of frequent transit service or are part of a mixed-use development of sufficient density and with necessary facilities to support greater levels of walking and bicycling.Each Regional Transportation Planning Committee shall develop the regional development mitigation program for its region,taking account of planned and fore- cast growth and the Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives and actions to achieve them established in the Action Plans for Routes of Regional Significance.Regional Transpor- tation Planning Committees may use existing regional mitigation programs,if consistent with this section,to comply with the Growth Management Program.

Address Housing Options And Job Opportunities Option One --Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate reasonable progress in providing hous- ing opportunities for all income levels as part of a report on the implementation of the actions outlined in its adopted Housing Element.The report will demonstrate progress by comparing the number of housing units approved,constructed or occupied within the jurisdiction over the preceding five years with the number of units needed on average each year to meet the housing objectives established in the jurisdiction's Housing Element.A jurisdiction may al- ternatively be found in compliance with this requirement if its General Plan and zoning regu- lations demonstrate land development capacity sufficient to accommodate the construction of sufficient housing to meet those objectives, In addition,each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts that its land use and development policies have on the local,regional and countywide transportation system,including the level of transportation capacity that can reasonably be provided,and shall incorporate policies and standards into its development approval process that support transit,bicycle and pedestrian access in new developments. ..... .... ........ ..................... ......... .................«.._...................«.........._...».m..... .....»...«....».............»«....«.._......................................w.»...»............... «... ............. ......._......_.....»..»,........».....g Comment: OptionNl_ would require a jurisdiction to show either that it had ap- proved enough housing to reasonably address its housing objectives or had i otherwise been constructed, with the proviso that the demonstration of suffl- j cient development capacity would be allowed as a "fall back". i F Option Two — [Same as Option 1 with the addition of the following language]A jurisdic- tion shall not be found in compliance with this program if it demonstrates a consistent pattern of denying applications for housing. In addition,each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts that its land use and development policies have on the local,regional and countywide transportation system, including the level of transportation capacity that can reasonably be provided, and shall incorporate policies and standards into its development approval process that support transit,bicycle and pedestrian access in new developments.

L.....................____...........___�_..__............_...................._._._.....__._...._... ..... -.-_._.............. Option Three —Each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts that its land use and develop- ment policies have on the local,regional and countywide transportation system, including the level of transportation capacity that can reasonably be provided,and shall incorporate policies and standards into its development approval process that support transit,bicycle and pedes- trian access in new developments.

The requirement to consider the transportation impacts of local land use policies and to incorporate transit, bicycle- and pedestrian- supportive standards would continue. Other Options -- Other options are possible as well. For example, a jurisdic- tion could be asked to certify that its development review process for new housing was streamlined to minimize the time the review and approval process I takes for development on appropriately zoned land, for example by setting time limits for design, planning commission and other reviews and for project ap- proval, where the project conforms to established regulations. The Committee may wish to discuss other options as well. 4. Participate in an Ongoing Cooperative, Multi--jurisdictional Planning Process Each jurisdiction shall participate in an ongoing process with other jurisdictions and agencies, the Regional Transportation Planning Committees and the Authority to create a balanced, safe and efficient transportation system and to manage the impacts of growth. Jurisdictions shall work with the Regional Transportation Planning Committees to: A. Identify Routes of Regional Significance, and establish Multimodal Transportation Ser- vice Objectives for those routes and actions for achieving those objectives. B. Apply the Authority's travel demand model and technical procedures to the analysis of General Plan Amendments{GPAs}and developments exceeding specified thresholds for their effect on the regional transportation system,including on Action Plan objectives. C. Create the development mitigation programs outlined in section 2 above. PAGE 4 OF 4 Exhibit A Page Number 20 PROPOSED GR �� ENT PROGRAM D. Help develop other plans,programs and studies to address other transportation and growth management issues. In consultation with the Regional Transportation Planning Committees,each jurisdiction shall use the travel demand model to evaluate changes to local General flans and the impacts of major development projects for their effects on the local and regional transportation system and the ability to achieve the Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives established in the Action Plans. -... _...__.._____...._._.__._..........._......____..__..__.__..__._...._........................._._.....__......__......._.................___.._.............._._...__.._....__......_...._..........._.__._..._.__...._......_......__..._..._...._.._..._................_.._...._.................f County staff suggested language that would have found General Plan Amend- I ments (rather than the jurisdictions themselves) in compliance with the GMP if j adopted MTSOs were not exceeded and the jurisdiction used the travel demand j model and technical procedures. While the PC has agreed to eliminate the con- flict resolution process, they have not agreed to eliminate the requirement of consultation with the RTPCs on the impacts of GPAs and major developments.

Jurisdictions shall also participate in the Authority's ongoing countywide comprehensive transportation planning process. As part of this process,the Authority shall support county- wide and subregional planning efforts,including the Action Plans for Routes of Regional Significance,and shall maintain a travel demand model. Jurisdictions shall help maintain the Authority's travel demand modeling system by providing information on proposed improve- ments to the transportation system and planned and approved development within the juris- diction. S. Adopt an Urban Limit Line All jurisdictions shall work together to identify a mutually agreeable Urban Limit Line.The purposes of the Urban Limit Line are to: A. Encourage compact development,infill and redevelopment, and thereby reduce sprawl, B. Provide sufficient development opportunities to accommodate and respond to forecast growth, C. Support a balanced, safe and efficient transportation system,and encourage greater use of alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle, D. Promote the efficient and cost-effective provision of public services,and E. Preserve natural resources lands and open space. PAGE 5 OF 5 Exhibit A Page Number 21 M }:.n PROPOSED GR � iENT PROGRAM In defining the Urban Limit Line,jurisdictions shall consider regional growth projections,the ability of existing and planned infrastructure to support forecast growth,physical constraints and important resource lands,the potential for infill and redevelopment within existing urban areas,and the character of existing areas.To the extent possible, the process of determining the Urban Limit Line should be undertaken cooperatively with and be consistent with LAFCO's Municipal Services Review and determinations on Sphere of influence boundaries. The agreement among the jurisdictions on the Urban Limit Line shall include provisions for periodic review and amendment of the agreement to provide sufficient developable land to accommodate forecast growth,and shall provide a mechanism for minor expansions of the line which should be offset by equal or greater deletions from the area within the Urban Limit Line. Option One —Each jurisdiction shall ratify the Urban Limit Line as it applies within the ju- risdiction's sphere of influence through approval of the voters of that jurisdiction. A jurisdic- tion whose corporate limits and approved sphere of influence are located completely within the mutually agreed-upon Urban Limit Line may incorporate the line into its General Plan without the approval of voters of the jurisdiction. Option Two —Each jurisdiction shall enter into a Memorandum of Understanding or Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement with other jurisdictions within Contra Costa to establish the mutually agreed-upon Urban Limit Line.The agreement shall require each jurisdiction to in- corporate the Urban Limit Line into its General Plan and establish for its periodic review and amendment to ensure that it adequately fulfills the purposes outlined above. The agreement shall also establish a process for adjustment where the jurisdiction can show that insufficient opportunities to meet the jurisdiction's housing objectives through infill and redevelopment remain within the jurisdiction's area within the Urban Limit Line. ..._................................._..__..._ _...._._._...._..............__..r.............______...._...........................................__._.__.__..._._.___.._................................._..................._......................................__-......__._.._.................... , Comment: Option 1, while it could provide greater certainty and permanence, i raises several issues: What happens if the voters of a jurisdiction do not ap- I prove the ULL?Are they immediately out of compliance, and how long do they have to gain voter approval? More important, if the jurisdiction's elected offi- cials believe that the ULL must be modified to gain voter approval, must they first get approval from the other jurisdictions to ensure that the ULL remains "mutually acceptable"? What if voters approve a more restrictive line, and that I line limits the ability of the jurisdiction to meet its housing goals? i To provide comparable assurances of permanence, the mechanisms relied on in Option 2 must require approval of other jurisdictions for all but very minor ad- justments to the Urban Limit Line, and must establish clear standards for how adjustments will be allowed. E I This section doesn't address how or whether the Authority would be involved in I developing the ULL, but Authority member comments have suggested that the s PAGE 6 OF 6 Exhibit A Page Number 22 gg wR PROPOSED GR 4�"W 1A, ENT PROGRAM x 1 . Authority should not assume any land use planning responsibilities. If appro- priate, however, the PC could add a paragraph noting that the Authority could assist in the development of a mutually acceptable ULL by assisting in the analysis of growth and transportation impacts, and potentially in the prepara- tion of any necessary CEQA documents. Option Three —All jurisdictions within each Regional Transportation Planning Committee area shall work together to define and establish a mutually agreeable Urban Limit Line for that area.If any land within the proposed Urban Limit Line would border or adjoin another Regional Transportation Planning Committee area,the jurisdictions within the two areas shall review,and make mutually agreeable refinements to, the proposed subregional Urban Limit Lines,prior to their adoption. Jurisdictions within each Regional Transportation Planning Committee area shall enter into a Joint Exercise of Powers.Agreement,or other binding agreement,to establish the Urban Limit Line.This binding agreement shall require each jurisdiction to incorporate the Urban Limit Line into its General Plan and shall establish periodic review and amendment to ensure that it adequately fulfills the purposes outlined above.The agreement shall also establish a process for adjustment where the jurisdiction can show that insufficient opportunities to meet the jurisdiction's housing objectives through infill and redevelopment remain within the ju- risdiction's area within the Urban Limit Line. If jurisdictions with the Regional Transportation Planning Committee area have not reached agreement on an Urban Limit Line or a binding agreement to implement such a line by June 30,2007,each jurisdiction shall ratify the Urban Limit Line as it applies within the jurisdic- tion's sphere of influence through approval of the voters of that jurisdiction,unless the juris- diction's corporate limits and approved sphere of influence are located completely within the mutually agreed-upon Urban Limit Line, in which case the jurisdiction may incorporate the line into its General flan without the approval of voters of the jurisdiction. ............................._..-------_._._...__........... u..._..- -- -- ._._..._.._...._..................__............_........._........................_............................................................ ....._......_......-___._..._.._..__.._.._..........-..............., I This option would combine options l and 2 by requiring that jurisdiction estab- lish a jointly binding agreement but that, if such an agreement cannot be reached, they hold separate local elections to get voter approval of the ULL. As with the first two options, this option doesn't address how or whether the Au- thority would be involved in developing the ULL. The Authority could, however, assist in the development of a mutually acceptable ULL by assisting in the analysis of growth and transportation impacts, and potentially in the prepara- i 1 tion of any necessary CEQA documents. .............................................................................................................................................................__._.._._.....-.__........................._._...-...............-......................................................._..................... Option Four — [Under this option,no ULL would be required.] PAGE 7 OF 7 Exhibit A Page Number 23 PROPOSED GR', � 1� qiENT PROGRAM 6. Develop a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program Each jurisdiction shall prepare and maintain a capital improvement program that outlines the capital projects needed to implement the goals and policies of the jurisdiction's General Plan for at least the following five-year period.The Capital Improvement Program shall include approved projects and an analysis of the costs of the proposed projects as well as a financial plan for providing the improvements.The jurisdiction shall forward the transportation com- ponent of its capital improvement program to the Authority for incorporation into the Author- ity's database of transportation projects. 7. Adopt a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Ordinance or Resolution To promote carpools, vanpools and park and ride lots, each jurisdiction shall adopt a local or- dinance or resolution that conforms to the model Transportation Systems Management Ordi- nance that the Transportation Authority has drafted and adopted.Upon approval of the Au- thority,cities with a small employment base may adopt alternative mitigation measures in lieu of a TSM ordinance or resolution. ALLOCATION OF FUNDS Portions of the monies received from the retail transaction and use tax will be returned to the lo- cal jurisdictions(the cities and the county) for use on local, subregional and/or regional transpor- tation improvements and maintenance projects.Receipt of all such funds requires compliance with the Growth Management Program described below.The funds are to be distributed on a formula based on population and road miles. Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate its compliance with all of the components of the Growth Management Program in a completed compliance checklist. The jurisdiction shall submit,and the Authority shall review and make findings regarding the jurisdiction's compliance with the re- quirements of the Growth Management Program, consistent with the Authority's adopted policies and procedures. If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction complies with the requirements of the Growth Management Program,it shall allocate to the jurisdiction its share of local street maintenance and improvement funding.Jurisdictions may use funds allocated under this provision to comply with these administrative requirements. If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction does not comply with the requirements of the Growth Management Program,the Authority shall withhold those funds and also make a finding that the jurisdiction shall not be eligible to receive Contra Costa Transportation for Livable PAGE 8 OF 8 Exhibit A Page Number 24 PROPOSED ( f #ENT PRCIGRAM zt Communities until the Authority determines the jurisdiction has achieved compliance. The Au- thority's findings of noncompliance may set deadlines and conditions for achieving compliance. Withholding of funis,reinstatement of compliance,reallocation of funds and treatment of unallo- cated funds shall be as established in adapted Authority's policies and procedures. WAGE 9 OF 9 Exhibit A Page Number 25 "Small Town Atmosphere Outstanding(duality of Life" May 1,2004 Amy Worth,Chair Contra Costa Transportation Authority 3478 Buskirk Avenue,Suite 100 Pleasant Dill,CA 94523 RE: Measure C Reauthorization Proposals for the Expenditure Plan and Growth Management Options Dear Chair Worth and Commission Members: On behalf of the Danville Town Council,I would like to express our appreciation for the Authority's tireless efforts in crafting an equitable Expenditure flan and appropriate Growth Management Program to the needs of this'diverse county. The Authority has gone to great lengths to consider diverse views and make adjustments to the draft plan and program in an attempt to meet the needs of a broad group of interest groups. Cities must play a major role in this process as well. The overwhelming majority of residents in Contra Costa County reside within incorporated cities, and strong city support is essential to passage of the Measure C Reauthorization. I'd like to take this opportunity to reiterate Danville's comments that were communicated at the April 21,2004 Authority Board meeting, and recommend revised language for Growth Management Program 00tion 1. Local.Streets Maintenance &Improvements Funds ("18% Return-to-Source") The absolute minimum percentage necessary for jurisdictions to maintain local transportation infrastructure necessary to move people and goods is 18 percent. The polling results presented by the consultant on April 21 underscore the importance of reinvesting these funds in'local streets and roadways, within each city, as well as in the unincorporated areas. 510 LA GONDA WAY, DANVILLE, CALIFORNIA 94526 Adxniaialraadon Brading Ingfneedus&Planning Tmnsparwion Mainttuance police Yasuo and Recmadon (975)314-3368 (925)314-3330 {9253 314-3310 (925)314-3310 (935)314-3450 {925)314-3410 (973)314-3400 Exhibit A Page Num' gr 26 1 �1 } 1 May 1, 2004 Page 2 Growth Management Program Compliancewith a Growth Management Program will continue to be a prerequisite for receipt of return to source funds. The Authority must bear in mind that these requirements will be binding upon all cities through sunset of the reauthorized Measure in 2034. A'number of cities in the county have already experienced their peak growth years per their respective General Plans, and cannot be expected to provide for future housing growth based upon past trends. Receipt of return to source funds should not be contingent upon additional obligations that would require such provisions or rezoning of existing neighborhoods. Furthermore, plans for additional housing should not inadvertently result in development patteins that cannot be sustained by the transportation improvements identified through this transportation measure. Given these concerns we recommend that the Authority consider the following modification to the Growth Management Program"Option 1" language: Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate reasonable progress in providing housing opportunities for all income levels as part of a report on the implementation of the , actions outlined in its adopted Housing Element. The report will demonstrate progress by 1comparing the number of housing units approved, constructed or occupied within the jurisdiction over the preceding five years with the number of units needed on average'each year to meet the housing objectives established in the jurisdiction's Housing Element; or illustrating how the jurisdiction has adequately ,planned to meet the existing and projected housing needs through the adoption of land use plans and regulate vstems which provide r ortunities for, and do not unduly constrain, housing development, rhile at the same time respecting the character of the jc r ssc ictir�n`s existing -neighborhood& or .(3) illustrating.how a jurisdiction's General Plan and zoning regulations demonstrate land development capacity sufficient to accommodate the construction of sufficient housing to meet those objectives, where the definition of "land development capacity„ includes vacant, underutilized or redevelopment area lands located within a jurisdiction's legal boundary or sphere of influence. In addition, each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts that its land use and development policies have on the local, regional and countywide transportation system, including the level of transportation capacity that can reasonably be provided, and shall incorporate'policies and standards into its development approval process that support transit,bicycle and pedestrian access in new developments. Exhibit A Page Num er 27 May 1,2004 Page 3 The third option that has been added summarizes State HCD requirements. This modified language maintains the housing and transportation connection that has been recommended by the EPAC while assuring that jurisdictions continue to follow the direction of, and comply with,State housing law. Again, we appreciate the opportunity to share our perspective as part of this inclusive reauthorization process.

Contra Costa Transportation Authority 3478 Buskirk Avenue, Suite 100 # Pleasant bill,CA 94523 jDear Mr.McCleary: On behalf of the Southwest Area Transportation (SWAT)Committee, I would like to take . this opportunity to thank you for your continuing efforts in this reauthorization process to address the varying — and sometimes competing - transportation needs of an extremely diverse county. Based on its discussions at the May 3,2004 regularly scheduled meeting, 3 the Committee would like to forward the following additional comments related to the housing, requirement and urban limit line components of the currently proposed Growth Management Program for consideration. } Housing Requirements i The. Committee reviewed in great detail the suggested text revisions to the Growth Management Program housing requirements (Option 1) that is contained on wage 2 of the letter from Danville, submitted to the Chair of the Authority at the Measure C Workshop, dated May 1, 2004. After extensive discussion and consideration, the Committee would like to offer the following modifications to the OCTA staff language to address the concerns and issues that have been articulated both at the May 1" Summit of Elected Officials as well asat the May Yd SWAT meeting: i Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate reasonable progress in providing housing opportunities as part of a report on the implementation of the l actions outlined in its adopted Rousing Element. The report will demonstrate progress by acomparing the number of housing units approved, constructed or occupied within the jurisdiction over the preceding five years with the number of units needed on average each year to meet the local housing objectives istablished in the jurisdiction's Housing Element,• or Z illustrating bo*- the juricdjctisin has . adequately- planngd to meet the existi d rniected local housing needs Ado-p-t_qd, -jn,im land u e plans-and rc rulata s stents whit roNi n rtuniftcs { i Exhibit A Page Neem ,er 29 . ... .._...�. ....e ,e.w`.�i...w. .. .r.........+.r-r`gym. �.._�... .w...._.. ..... ...tr.. ..

In addition, each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts that its land use and development policies have on the local, regional and countywide transportation ' system, including the level of transportation capacity that can reasonably be provided, and shall incorporate policies and standards into its development approval process that support transit, bicycle and pedestrian across in new devtlopments. Urbain Limit Linz The,Committee continued 'to discuss the issues relating to the proposed Urban Limit Line requirements of the new Growth Management Program. While there was no agroement regarding specific language revisions, the Committee Hitt agree to forward the following, discussion points, 0 if an urban limit line is determined to be necessary to the success of the passage of Measure C, there it must be a mutually agreed-upon line; • A mutually agreed-upon urban limit line may be one that is contiguous with a ro uoity's city limits, sphere of influence,or its planning,arca, t A mutually agreed-upon urban limit line should be subject to review, and any necessary modifications, every 10 years; and finally, 41 Ratification of a countywide mutually agreed-upon urban limit line through separate local clections is a fragmented approach that is inconsistent with the regional nature of this effort. We rewgnize that the successful extension of'this sales tax measure will require that we read a balance between divergent and sometimes competing needs this county. We hope these comments are helpful in furthering the efforts toward building consensus relating to the reauthorization of Measure C. Please let 'me know if you have any questions regarding this information.
