RESOLUTION NO. 95/156
The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County RESOLVES THAT:
(01) WHEREAS, the Measure C-1988 Growth Management Program requires Action Plans for Routes of
Regional Significance to include adopted traffic service objectives that use a quantifiable measure of
effectiveness and include a target date for attaining the objective;'
(02) WHEREAS, adopted traffic service objectives should be consistent with the actions proposed in the
Action Plans, i.e., it should be reasonable to expect that if actions are implemented, the objectives will be
achieved;2
(03) WHEREAS,the Tri-Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan,Proposal for Adoption (Action Plan) traffic
service objectives are not consistent with the actions it proposes3;
(04) WHEREAS, this inconsistency would require the Board of Supervisors to obtain approval by the
Regional Transportation Planning Committee to amend the Action Plan prior to making a decision on a general
plan amendment that has been under review by the Board of Supervisors since 1991,4 thereby allowing other
local jurisdictions to preempt the County's land use decision;
(05) WHEREAS,Measure C-1988 compliance requirements cannot preempt local land use decisions or require
cities to accept unwanted construction projects within their boundaries;`
(06) WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Board of Supervisors not to limit its land use authority through the
Action Plan process, particularly for land use decisions currently under review by the Board of Supervisors;7,8
(07) WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors finds that the Action Plan traffic service objectives are desirable
where they are similar to the traffic level of service standards for intersections identified in the Dougherty Valley
Settlement Agreement and where consensus actions are identified to meet such traffic service objectives, and
is committed to identify consensus actions that will meet such traffic service objectives;9
(08) WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors finds that a consensus has not been reached with the Town of
Danville and the City of San Ramon on the actions to be implemented in order to meet the traffic service
objectives, and that further cooperation among local jurisdictions is needed before these traffic service objectives
can be adopted as shown in the Action Plan;10 and
(09) WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors understands that compliance with the Action Plan is tied only to
local implementation of action policies, and that one locality cannot be judged ineligible for Local Street
Maintenance and Improvement Funds because of the unwillingness of another locality to participate in the
process."
