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 an 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 11, 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. Adopt a GPA Land Use Analysis Program which is consistent with the requirements set forth
in this document by August 1, 1992.
2. 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 CIV1A within the initial scoping period specified by CEQA.
3. 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 fourteen (14) calendar days of the CMA receiving a fully completed,•and acceptable GPA
application.
4. 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. Notify the CMA within fourteen (14) calendar days after subject GPA has been approved.
The CMA will update the Countywide Travel Demand Model land use database.
Data Requirements
Local jurisdictions must complete the GPA summary data sheet (see Attachment B), and submit
the subject GPA application document to the CMA (in response to Conformance Requirement
2 above). The data required by the CMA includes:
Page 2
* 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.).
* Quantification of the uses, such as the 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
for each phase.
* Degree of completion (e.g. occupancy) by the CIP target year (year 2000).'
Use of CMA Approved Subarea Models
A jurisdiction may use a CMA approved subarea model to evaluate the impact of a subject GPA
on the CMP roadway system. A CMA approved subarea model is defined in the Alameda
County CMA Subarea Modelling Policy. If a jurisdiction elects to use a CMA approved subarea
model they must (1) notify the CMA, through written communication, that they intend to use
the subarea model for the Tier I, Land Use Analysis Program, and (2) complete Conformance
Requirements 1 to 5, listed above. Note, for Conformance Requirement 3, unless the
jurisdiction requests that the CMA test the subject GPA and provide the modelling data to the
jurisdiction, the jurisdiction will be responsible for modelling runs and data to be provided to
the CMA within fourteen (14) days.
Exceptions
A GPA (that is estimated to generate 100 or more additional PM peak hour trips) is exempt from
the Tier 1, GPA Land Use Analysis Program if
1. It is adopted before August 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 August 1, 1992.
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 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 method used and the
discretion to subtract these trips will be left to the jurisdictions. However, if a jurisdiction
subtracts any trips generated from prospective low or very low income housing in the calculation
of L057, it must provide written communication to the CMA describing the type of housing, and
the methodology used to identify and subtract these trips.
t A process to ensure analysis of GPA impacts beyond the level of completion by the target year will be developed during
1992 -1993.

Alameda County CMA
Tier II, Land Use Analysis Program
June 26, 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 is a two tiered system. Tier I requires jurisdictions to report GPA applications to the
CMA and Tier H is an annual land use update requirement. The guidelines for conforming
with the Tier I program are presented in the CMA document entitled, Tier I, GPA Land Use
Analysis Program. The guidelines for the Tier II Program are presented below.
Program Description
Annually local jurisdictions will update their forecast of land use projections for the CMP
target year. These projections will consider market trends as well as GPAs that have been
approved in the past 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.
For the first CMP year (1992), due to the time needed by local jurisdictions to set up adequate
data collection systems, there will only be 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
local jurisdictions for analysis.
Data Submittal Schedule
To conform with the Tier II Program, local jurisdictions are required to adhere to the following
schedule:
1. Adopt a Tier II, I and Use Analysis Program which is consistent with the requirements set
forth in this document by August 1, 1992.
2. Submit year 2000 and 2010 forecast land use projections no later than February 1, 1993.
3. In future CMP years, submit year 2000 and 2010 forecast land use projections annually, 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 local jurisdictions to be used in understanding the compounded
effect of all projected land use changes on the roadway system.

Data Requirements
Annual land use updates must be transmitted to the CMA using the attached Land Use Database
Update Form. If significant updates are included, the CMA may request that this data be
provided in an ASCII file format. 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.
Adopted GPAs submitted to the CMA in connection with the Tier I, GPA Land Use Analysis
Program, need not be resubmitted.
If a jurisdiction does not have any forecast land use projections to submit to the CMA, they must
indicate that on the Land Use Database Update Form. If a local jurisdiction fails to submit a
Land Use Database Update Form by the August deadline, they may be found in non-
conformance with the CMP.
Non - Conformance
Local jurisdictions that fail to meet any of the conformance, schedule or data requirements
presented in this document may be found in non - conformance with CMP requirements. Pursuant
to a finding of non - conformance by the CMA, and if a local jurisdiction does not take the
necessary steps to conform within ninety (90) days, the State Controller will withhold
Proposition 111 gas tax subventions to that jurisdiction.
