A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOS PALOS
ADOPTING MERCED COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT'S
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED (VMT) THRESHOLDS AND
IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES AS THE METRIC FOR CONDUCTING
TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSES TO COMPLY WITH SENATE
BILL 743 AND A VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED POLICY
WHEREAS, the State legislature of the State of California (Legislature) adopted the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), as amended and codified in Sections 21000 et seq. of the Public Resources Code;
WHEREAS, the Legislature directed the Secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) to prepare State guidelines (CEQA Guidelines) for the implementation of said act by public agencies; WHEREAS, Senate Bill 743 (SB 743), codified in Public Resources Code section 21099, required changes to the CEQA Guidelines by establishing criteria for determining the significance of transportation impacts of certain projects;
WHEREAS, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) proposed, and the CNRA certified and adopted, new CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3 which went into effect on July 1, 2020, and identifies vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as generally the most appropriate metric to evaluate a project's transportation impacts;
WHEREAS, automobile delay, as measured by level of service (LOS), generally no longer constitutes a significant environmental effect under CEQA;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Public Resources Code section 21099, SB 743 does not prevent a city or county from continuing to analyze delay or LOS as part of its development standards, but such factors may no longer constitute the basis for CEQA impact and mitigation; WHEREAS, CEQA Guidelines section 15064.7(a) defines a threshold of significance as "an identifiable quantitative, qualitative or performance level of a particular environmental effect, noncompliance with which means the effect will normally be determined to be significant by the agency and compliance with which means the effect normally will be determined to be less than significant"; WHEREAS, CEQA Guidelines section 15064.7(b) requires that thresholds of significance be adopted by ordinance, resolution, rule or regulations, developed through a public review process and be supported by substantial evidence;
WHEREAS, the Merced County Association of Government prepared and adopted VMT Thresholds and Implementation Guidelines (VMT Thresholds and Guidelines) to provide a regional guide for the seven member jurisdictions - the County of Merced and the cities of Atwater, Dos Palos, Gustine, Livingston, Los Banos, and Merced in November of 2022;
WHEREAS, the City of Dos Palos (City) desires to adopt said VMT Thresholds and Guidelines to bring the City's transportation analysis methodology in line with state goals, pursuant to SB 7 43; WHEREAS, in recognition of SB 743 and OPR's VMT recommendations, the VMT Thresholds and Guidelines include VMT thresholds, screening criteria, and mitigation to ensure consistency with CEQA Guidelines;
WEHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines, based upon staff reports and research as well as testimony in the record, that the revised CEQA thresholds of significance under consideration are consistent with State requirements as to how transportation impacts should be evaluated for purposes of CEQA review of applicable projects. The revised thresholds are based upon the VMT metric that is specifically required in CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3; WHEREAS, the City of Dos Palos Planning Commission (Planning Commission) hosted a public meeting on October 18, 2023, to review the policy and provided a recommendation in support of this policy;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed VMT Thresholds and Guidelines which address transportation related impacts may be found exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15308 ("Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment"), 15378(b) ("Not a Project") and15061 (b)(3) ("Common Sense Exemption") and 15378(b); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made a recommendation to the City Council recommending the Council adopt the Merced County Association of Government's VMT Thresholds and Guidelines at its regularly scheduled meeting on October 18, 2023.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOS PALOS:
1. The above recitals are incorporated herein as findings for approval.
2. The Merced County Association of Government's VMT Thresholds and Implementation Guidelines, attached hereto as Attachment A, designating Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as the metric for conducting transportation analysis pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), establishing CEQA thresholds of significance related to VMT, and identifying screening criteria to limit review for projects presumed to have less than significant VMT impact, is hereby adopted.
3. This Resolution shall become effective immediately following passage and adoption thereof.
