Article III — Land Use Analysis Program

The purpose of this article is to adopt and implement a land use analysis program to ensure that the City, in addition to examining and mitigating transportation impacts on the local street network, considers the regional transportation impact of new development through the land use approval process. Integrated with CEQA, this program is designed to provide a consistent, countywide methodology, to determine the impact of new development on the CMP roadway system. It is the intent of this program to promote increased coordination between jurisdictions, transit providers, local decision-makers and interested parties, and thereby enhance countywide mobility and improve air quality.

All development projects required to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) based on the City’s determination, will be subject to the land use analysis program. In addition to the procedural guidelines already established by CEQA, traffic and transit impacts shall be assessed using the "Transportation Impact Analysis" methods contained in the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program.
