EXHIBIT A
DEVELOPMENT PHASING
AND
PERFORMANCE MONITORING PROGRAM
I. INTRODUCTION
Phasing of land use development and circulation improvements
to support development -generated traffic has long been a
concern in California. The importance of the relationship
between land use entitlements and circulation system capacity
is recognized at the state, regional and local levels. At the
state level, Section 65302(b) of the Government code requires
correlation between the Land Use and the Circulation Elements
of local government general plans. At the regional level, the
Revised Traffic Inprovement: and Growth Management Ordinance
(Measure M) approved by count=y voters in November 3 990
requires cities to adopt development and circulation phasing
plans to be eligible for the add itiona l 112 cent sales tax
increase authorized by the ordinance. finally, at the local
level, both the Land Use and the Growth Management Elements of
the 1990 General Plan require similar phasing programs.
II. PURPOSE
This Development Phasing and Performance Monitoring Program
(DPPMP) has been developed to fulfill the mandates of the
County Measure M funding eligibility requirements, and the
Growth Management Element of ths- city of Costa Mesa 1990
General Plan. The purpose of the program is to conduct an
annual review oi. the cumulative impacts of development and
circulation sy5trm capacity. The program will track current
land use entitlements and construction activity and will.
monitor arterial highway traffic volumes and intersection
levels of service. The goal of the program is to ensure that
infrastructure is added as development proceeds so that the
established level of service standard (LOS "D") is
maintained throughout the community. The program would also
serve to identify potential_ cdeficienciPs and corrective
measures, if needed.
While the focus of the DPPMP is on cumulative or city-wide
performance, project; -specific analysis is also critical to
ensure that the established level of service standard is
maintained. This level of analysis is mandated by the city's
Transportation Systems Management. Ordinance (Article 22 1/2 of
the Costa Mesa Municipal Code). Project -specific monitoring
to ensure adequate mitigation of project impacts was mandated
by AB 3180, codified as Section 21081.6 of the California
Public Resources Code.

III. DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY
77
This section of the DPPMP will inventory two levels of land
use development activity. The first inventory will consist of
construction activity completed during the past year. The
inventory will be provided by major land use type
(residential, commercial, industrial and institutional) and
location (street address and Traffic Analysis Zone).
The second inventory will consist of land use entitlements
which will result in future construction activity or major
changes of use. The inventory will be divided into major land
use types (residential, commercial, industrial and
institutional) and will be identified by location. As
construction generally follows the initial land use
entitlement by several months, this inventory will allow land
use and transportation planners the opportunity to identify
trends or to develop projections which may result in changes
to traffic demand or generation patterns and provide an early
warning of potential future circulation system impacts. In
this sense, the program will serve both monitoring and
predictive purposes.
IV. CIRCULATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
This section of the DPPMP will inventory two aspects of the
city's circulation system performance. The fist will
inventory the intersection capacity utilization (ICU) values
of all signalized intersections within the community.
Intersection ICUs will be calculated on an annual basis and
will be conducted during the spring season of each year.
The second section will consist of identifying the average
daily traffic volumes on major arterials throughout the
community. As annual changes in traffic volumes are generally
not very significant, these counts will be conducted on a
biennial basis and will be taken during the spring season of
each odd -numbered year.
In addition to inventorying existing conditions, this section
will also compare the results of the current year with past
years and will provide an analysis of changes which have
occurred since the last inventory. As with the land use
inventories, this analysis may pinpoint any major trends or
potential problem areas which should be watched to avoid
future deficiencies.

V. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
While the last two sections have been primarily descriptive in
nature, this section of the Development Phasing and
Performance Monitoring Program will be more analytic. This
section will take the information provided by the land use and
circulation system inventories and compare the results to the
established level of service standard. The analysis shall not
only evaluate existing performance, but will also identify
potential deficiencies based upon an comparative analysis of
past performance evaluations.
VI. ACTION PLAN
The primary purpose of this section of the Development Phasing
and Monitoring Program will be to summarize the results of the
previous sections and to develop recommendations to address
any identified deficiencies. The recommendations should
identify needed circulation system improvements which can be
incorporated into the city's capital improvement program. As
with the previous sections, some analysis of trends and
projections should be developed to identify any future
potential problem areas or to address emerging trends which
may lead to future problems.
VII. IMPLEMENTATION
The Development Phasing and Performance Monitoring Program
shall be jointly prepared by the Planning and Transportation
Services Division on an annual basis. The program shall be
prepared on a fiscal (or calendar year) basis and shall be
presented to the Planning Commission, the Transportation
Commission and the City Council for review and comment. The
first Development Phasing and Performance Monitoring Program
shall be prepared in the summer of 1993. Costs associated
with the annual monitoring program may be an eligible expense
of Measure M funds.
