Report in Br;~f.
This is an informational staff r2port that transmits the E.xecutive SUrm'lary of
Draft Deficiency Plan Guidelines developed by tn€ Santa Clara County
Congest1or. Management Agency (eMA). Deficiency Plans ire required under state
law i~d the Santa Clara County CongEstion Management Pro~ram (eM?) adopted in
October 1991, Palo Alto will need to de~elop Deflciencj PTans for areas
impacting traffic on Page Mill Road from [1 Camino Real to Foothill fx~ressway

Co~ .ty Tine to the boundary IIInh the City of Mountain View. O\l€:r th,e
Deficiency Plans will result in additional regulation of land use.
Sackground
In June 1990, CalifDrnia ~oters approved Proposltions 108 and III that
increased funding for California's tran~portation system and rSQuired
urbanized cities and counties to create Congestion Management Agencies that
would annually prepare a Congestion Mal1agement Progranr (CMP). The objective
of the C~P r!q~;ireme~t is to h~ve jurisdictions work cooper~tively together on
transportation, land use and air q~ality iss~es. Another obje:tive is to
force local jurisdictions to address problems 0(' regional (e.g .• the Bayshore
Freeway) and subregiQnal (e.g., Foothill Express~'aJ) roadways that are C'fte::n
not under their direct control. ?art;cipatjo~ in tn€ CMA ~nd acceptancE of
the CMP ;s i requirement far tities and count1es to receive new gas tax funds
generated by Propositlon 111.
The orlginal legislation that ~ent into Proposition 111 (AB471. Katz) required
juri~dictions to maintaln minimum traffic levels of service (level of service
E unless the roadway lIIas already Dperatlng at leve1 of service F). Fai1ure to
meet the level of service standard meant that jurisdictions could not approve
new land uses (e.g. blJildtng expansions, subdivisions, new development) that
impacted these locations. In response to ~trong press\Jre, Supplemental

.legislation (AB1791, ~~tz) ~as adopted that provided for the deficiency plan
. meehan'ism as a wa)' to allow additional ,~t'O/ejopment in imp')ctE'd areas,
consIstent wIth an oO/erall plan to "measurably jmp~ove the le~el of serVlce of
the system" ,: .e .• the CMP designated roadway net .. ork) and ~(orltribute to
~ignifieant improvem~nt in ~ir q~a'ity.·
Development of gU1deHnes and procedures for doing a deficienej pjan has been
left to each of the 30 congestion manage-merit -3gencies that S2r"lJe CaliftJrnia's.
urbanized counties. The Santa Clara County CMA staff and staff from numerouS
Santa Clara County jurisdictIons have worked In close cooperatjo~ to develop
Draft Deficlenc), Plan GIJidelines. It app~ars that the Santa Clara County CMA
's the first dgency to develop draft g~idel1ne~; and most, if ~ot all. the
other CMAs hop~ to use our guidelines.
On .July 2, the County CKA released the Draft Guidelir;es. except for Chapter 7~
Deficiency Plan Implementation Standards, fvr public review and comment.
Corrments will be received at the Augu-;t 5 eM meet1r1g, \!With the Gljidelines to
be consid€red for adoption at the Septembei 3 CMA mc€ting. The Implementation
Standards ~ill address the actions identifj~d in Table 1-2 that are to be
;ncorporate~ into the specific deficiency plans. The Standards will be
reviewed' by the UtA's Technical Advisory Committee on July 16 and most llk.ely
will be released for public re .... iew by the CMA on August 6.
Draft Guide11nes
Attached is the Executive Summary of the Draft G.Lddelines_ The complete text
of the Draft Guidelines is available in the Palo A!to Department of Planning
and Communlty Environment. Thls staff report ~;ll not attempt to summarize
tne Executive Summary and Tables 1-2 and 2-2.
In reviewing the Surrrnar)'~ it is important to el".pnasize that a deficiency pl an:
Needs to show how physical improvements will improve the overall
transportation level of sEr~ice.
Needs to incorporate actions, accepta~le to the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District, that contribute to i~proved air quality (i_e., t~@
actions in Tables 1-2 and Z-2). The guidel lnes require that all of the
actions in Table 2-) will be incorporated in a deficiency plan. Actions
from Table 2-2 can be substituted for Table 2-1 actions th4t are
infeasible to implement.
Needs to be pr~pared by the local jurisdiction for any part of the
Congestion Management Program :1etwork ,nthin its jurisdiction thiit
violates level of senice standards (i.e., for Paio Alto, highJl/ays HJl
and 280. El Camino Real, Page Mll1/0regon, Foothlll Expressway and San
Antonio Road from 101 to Midd1efield Road).
Needs to be approved by the County C~A.

Applies to development ~itnin the Co~nty that impacts a deficient
location (def,ne1 as i peaK hour traffic increase of one percent or more
of the tctal capacity of the intersection or rOidway segment),
irrespective of where the development is located (e.g., Pal~ Arto
development could be s.ubject to the ,ondi tic;rts of a , .. tollntain ~ie\ll
deficiency plan).
Neeos to be updated elr'ery three years following the (MA's de'Je:opment of
a Subregional Facility Deficiency PTan Element (i .e., an attempt to be
undertaken by H,e C.MA to es:tabll!f, mechanisms for new development to
address some of the multijurisdictional items found in Table 2·2,.
Appl1cabilili. of the Guide' ine.Lt2..JI..aJ..Q....AJJ.Q
As noted before. deficiency plans apply to ~specialJy congested locations on
the roadway ~etworK identified in the adopted CMP. For Palo Alto, the network
inclurtes ~igh.~Y5 101 and 280 9 Foothill Expressway, Page Mill/Oregon, E1
Camino Reil and San Antonio Road from 101 to Middlefjeld Road.
locations currently operating at level of service F include Highway 101
southbound in the morning peak period and northbound in the afternoon peak
period and the Pag-e Mill/Foothill intersection. Page Mill/El (amino Real is
at level of service E.
The Draft Guidelines encourage preparation of areawide rather than lccation
spe~ific defiCiency plans. The G:.Jitle1iOies trjgger prepa.ration and completion
of a deficiency plan:
Prior tc approval of a de'Jelopm'!nt proposal that wil1 impact an already
deficient lccation (i ,e,. addIng traffic equal to one percent of the
deficient locations capacity during the peak period); or
Prior to approval of a d~velopment proposal that ~ill create a defici€nt
1ocatio~; or
Wlthir, 12 months after adoption of tn~ S ... bregional facility Deficiency
Plan Element,
One or both of the fint two trio;gers are ljk€ly to OCC'Jr in the Stanford
Research Park/Stanford campus/E.I Camino Real area within the l'1€xt year or brlO.
There is somewhat less 1ikelihood cf a near term action triggering a Highway
)01 deficiency plan (the impact of deficiency ~lans across County boundaries
has not been resolved and, as a pre~iously approved project, the University
Circle development in East Palo Alto dces r'1Ot fall under deficiency plan
rules.)
The adopted 1992-93 City budget includes nO,oaa in the Trans;portation
Division's budget for consultant assistance in preparing a deficiency plan,
Staff intends to use these funds to assist in preparing a plan applicable to
developrr.ent impacting the Page Mill/Foothilr and Page Mil'/El Camino Real

.loci!ions. ~ft~ release of t~e Drift Guidelines, staff will begin an o~treach
proce5~ to potentially affected property owners ~nd tenants and begin
preparation of a reqi,test for proposal (P.FP) for consultant assistance in
de~elopin9 a Page Mill COrriGDr deficiency plan.
Nearly all of the actions in Table 2-1 are either part of City de~elopment
regulations and prQtedUTES or haye been (or are bei~9) implemented by the
CHy. Actions that are most likely to result in additional reqLii~er1ents and
expenses includ~ imp~uving pedestrian facilities (Action A.7j which will
probably requlre filling in 5{)me of the gaps in the Stanfor"d Research Parl('s
side\oilaH system; expanding t'-dnsit ser"ice b)' pro .... iding (l.e., require
property developers and/or tenants tn provide) shuttTe sen-ice for larage ne'lIIi
de~elopments (Action B.le]; and providing {i,e .• requiring participstion in
the County Cormuter Network) transportation d~m(H,d management acti\lities for
large multi-tenant de .... elopmen~s (~ctj~n D.13). T~affic flow impro .... ements
(Actlon Ll7) will focus pr"lmiH'i1y on intersection improvements appro'w'ed in

(Hy shff have bee:1 intensi'olel1 invol .... ed in d€\,Ieloping the Draft Guidelines
and 'otItill continue to tit! invol'oled in app'icatlem, monitoring and eventual
refinement of the GUldeltnes based on experience. The ~ujdelines are a
reasonable effort to meet the intent of state law. The Immediate
Implementation Actions (Table 2-1) tnat are required to be in deficiency plans
are generally actions th~t a~e already part of the City's dev~Topment
regulations and capital project planning. City staff does not have
recommended changes fnr the Draft Guidelines,
rn 1992·93 a maJor effort ,,111 be undertaken to d€'.Ielop a Page Mill Corridor
Deficiency Phn. Subsequently, staff, in cooperation and consultation with
adjacent jurisdictions, will deye10p a deficiency plan f~r the Highway IOi

EXECUTIVE SL'MAiARY
ThiS document presents the Santa Clara Counry Congestion M.anagement
A,gencys (CM.*t..'s) De6a:ency Plan Guidelines. Tae purpose of these guidelines is
to assist Memher Agencies in pr~pari ... g and eva!uating: Deficiency P!.ans.
Organl:zatlOQ ~ The Defidency Pia.." Guidelines are divided into three sections.
The Executive Sumrnary contains a S'.lITUTWY of the DefiCiency Plan Guidelines, as
well as a list of cOO".n1only asked questions and ans'9w~e!S on def!ciency pla!"-s an.d
the CMAs recommendations to Member Agencies on the preparation of
defldency plans.
Pan I i..'ldude;; Chapters 1 through 5, which describe all aspects of deficip..n<:y
plans, including, legisbitive requircm<'nts and benefits, deficiency pion action lists,
the preparation of deficiency plans, types of defidency plans, defi('Jency plan
monitoring, and defidency plans and the la..''l.d,use approval pmcess.
Part II indudes Chapters 6 and 7, w.hich contain the technical requ:rements and
standards for deficiency plans. Chapter 6, DefiCiency Plan Technlcal
Requiremem:s, is also designed to serve as the basis of a .,cope of v.'ork for
Member Agendes [h.t ""ilI prepare defidency plans.
Because this document contains both the technical requirements of defide::.cy
plans (P41t If), and 3 textu2: description and context for these requirements (fart
D, it is by nature somewhat repetitive. Much of the mzterial Is introduced in the
Exea..;th'e Summary, and fully discussed rwo times--once in Palt I, and cnce in
Pan II. However, the-organization of tt..is documenr allows the reader to fcx:us on
the section or secuor-s of the docul"!1ent thar pertains to his or her own in.teresl
For example, a city coundlmember who is more interested in the policy
development .and conrent of deficiency p!ans than in the actual technic;;,!
requirement'i, would focus on Pan I. Conversely. a developer or dry staff member
who may care pri1112rily about the techn.iC"11! requiremenTs and standards for
defiden~y plans would focus on Part 11. It is the intention of the CJ\1."'t [bar, by
presenting the comprehensive docu mem in this form:lt, it will satisfy all
audiences.

Background -The Congestion M.anagemc:1t Program (eMP) legislation requires
Member Agendes [0 prepare defiaency plans for CMP System fadLities located
within thelr jurisdiction that exceed the eM? tr.affic level-or-service (lOS)
standard. Santa Clara County's CMP's LOS standard is LOS E. The Legislation
requires t..l-:tat deficiency p!a.r-...5 improve systemwide traffic level of service and
contribute to 2 Significant improvemem in air quality. If a CMP System facUity
exceeds the lOS standard and ~s not have a CMA-appro .... ed deficiency plan,
then t.i.e loe3l jurisdiction is at risk of losing ne9.; gas ta.x re\'enues provided from
Proposition 11 I.
Deficiency pians were no: [nduded [n !.1e original eMP legislation, AB 471 (K.atz.).
AB 471 required aU Ch-iP System fadUties maintain the adopted LCS standard, or
the local jurisdiction would Jose their new gas tax revenUe50. Defidency plans v,'ere

The CMP r~quires that LOS Standards on the eMP Roadway System be maintained.
However, in .some siruation5, meeting lOS standards may be impossible or

CMA Deficiency Plan Actiou llslS ~ The Cr>.V\ divided the Air District'S .action
list into two categories: immediate implement.ation actions .and deferred
implt::mentation actions. Immediate implementation actions are those that
Member Agencies can .implemenr tntrnediatefy. Deferred imp!emer:.ution actions
are actions that car, not be implemented immediately because they require new
institutional arrangernems andlor deve!opmenr of specific implementltion.
techniques that require time to d't'\'elop.
The cw~ prepared spedEc impiement4.tion Mandards for :all actions on the
Immediate fmplemenr..ation Action USt (herein referred to 01.5 the "Immediate
uSt"). Those standards are induded as Chapter 7 of this document During me
next two years, the CMA will develop sI?ecific implementation techniques for
actions on the Deferred Tmplementation Action List (herein referred to as the
"Deferred List") .. A.!5 these techniques are approved by the Goverr..ing Beard, Li-Je
action.s 9tili be added to the imrnedi:ite Implementation Action List.
The prioritr focus of the C]o..{A·s effort to develop implementation techniqi..ies
for actions on the Deferred l.ist will be development of a Subrcgional Facility
Deficiency Plan Element (USubregional Element'~). Tn.:s element wiil include
those i[erns on the Deferred List that are interjurisdictiona! by nature, such as.
improvements to transit service, transportation demand rr:.anagement (TD11)
programs, and high occupancy vehicle (HOY) systems within Santa Clara
County. The Subregional Elemem Is atso intended to address cefic[encies on
major regional eMP System roadw·ays, i.'1dudi ng fre~'3ys.
The Subregional Facility Deficiency Plan Element ,",,~il1 be designed for

C.ll!A Approach to Def\cleocy Plans -The Santa Clara County C~!A's
approach to deficiency plans consists of requiring Member Agencies to
implement all applicable actions on the enost current 'version of [he C]l.-l,,-'s
Deficiency Plan Immediate fmptementation .-\ctian Ust Additionally, to further
improve transportation conditions, the CMA recommends tha~ Member

1)'pes of Deficiency Plans -There are two types of deficiency plans, single
facility defidency pl.ar..s, :and ueawide deficiency pla:-..s. Single faciUry defidency
puns are prepared for in_dividual c .... !P System roadway segments or l..'1tersecticns.
Areawide deficiency plans ;are prepared for sets of facilitIes, for example, all
roadw.ays and intersections L"1 a giver: dry or area of a city. The CMA recommends
L~t areawide defidency pJaf'..5 be prepared wbenever possible. Prepa .. i'd.tion of
areawide deficien<...)' plans will encourage comprehef".5ive planrJng for solutions to
tb.e county's transportation and air quality problew.5, and insure that all

However, deficiency plans will affect the land-use ptanning process in several
ways.
Figure 4 iHustrates, and this section discusses, how defidency plans will affe<.1 the
land-use planning and apprm'.aI process when the proposed development and
the defidem U4l1Sportation Eacliry are located in the sa.me jurisdiction.
1. Impiemem all feaSible and reasonable transportation Improvements.
If 4 development project impacts a deficient facUity or causes a
deficlenr:y, L'le Mem~e! Age.,cies should ensure that all feasible and
reasonable improvements are made to ensure Uut the eMP traffic LOS
standard violation is minimized. These improvemenrs could be
implemented as conditions of proje<.1 apprO\·al.
2. Implement aU appropriate deficiency plans.
All development projecr.s th<!t are located in areas that have deftdency
plans, or that impact roadways and intersections with deficiency p~ans,
must participate in irnplement3tion of the deficiency plan. This

If a c. .... lP System facility (free'Qrw'ay, expresswaYr roadway 0; intersection) is
operating below the CMP level-of-serviee (LOS) standard (the CMP mlffie LOS
standard is LOS f), then the jUrisdIction in which the fadlity is loaned may lose
new g:il_S tax revenues provided to it under Proposition 111, ~ the
jurisdiction has a c."'L4,.-approved defiderKY pl:m for the faciJity.
2. What is the difference between mitig:ation measures and defiCiency plan
actions?
Mjtfeatjor; mea:mres 3re actions designed [,) reduce L'1e impact of:1n 2C'"Jviry to
Jess tiun Significant Iev~J. .Q.efideoQ' plan actioos .are actions implemented [0
compensate for occasions when transportation impacts ~ be reduced tc
less than a significanr level. (For purpose of the Q..fP, Significant level is defIDed
as causing a violation of the CMF traffic LOS standard.)
3, When must a deficiency plan be preparec?
A. The eM? legislation requires that Member Agendes have ;l. CM.;\-apprm-"cd
deficiency plan for any OIP 5ystem roadway Of intersect jon which was
oper.ating :il.i. LOS E or bener in the 1991 c. .... !P baseline LOS and is
subsequently monitored op.eradng 2t lOS F.
B. The Santa Clara County eMP requires that Member Agendes prepare a
deficiency plan for any alP System roadway or intersectJon t.lut operates
at LOS F (even mose roachvays and lfitersections tc':i.at operated ;H LOS F In
the 1991 eMF baseline LOS).
Deficiency plans for /Tcmsportalio71 facilities lhal operated al LOS .n Ibe
1991 baselitU! et:aiuatio'Tl must be prepared within one yea.,. of adoplion
of the Subregiot/al Facility Dqiciency Plan Element. However, tbe CMA

actually developed. (This z:s-tbe scenario used jn item C, i, be/ow)
C The Sanu Cla!2 County eMP requires that a CMA-approved defidency plan

~asel.ine; or
ii. The project will cause a CMP System roadway or L'1tersection to operate
below the CMp U lffie LOS standard
The Santa Clara County eM? requires thal Member Agendes have C\-lA
approved deficiency plans in place before appro\,lng land use developments
t.'1.a[ cause either of the above situations (c·j or c-ii). The rt:.ason for this
requirem~nt is to ensure that all development projects th.at cause a defidency
or impact a deficient eM? System facility participate equitably in
lmplementation of the defidency p tan.
However, the requirement for h.aving an 3pproved defk.iency plan in place
before the land-use approval is gr.anted can be delayed if the project SPO:lSOC
agrees to impleme:1[ the defioenq· ptan after it is comptetect Alternatively,
the deficiency 'phut can be developed in conjunction with the project's
transpo.rtation impact analysis.
Finally, Member Agendcs can minlmize the possibility of deTays in the land
use projec[ approval process, by prepar.ng deficiency plans in :advance. This
v.ill also help ensure that the Wt development project docs nO! pay fO! ail the
improvements induded in the deficiency plan (For more detail on how
deficiency plans affect the land-use approval process, please refer to Chapter
5 of these guidelInes.)
4. Who prepares Defidency Plans?
The CMP legislation sUtes that the local jurisdiction In which Loe defident C'IP
System facility (f.reeway. expressv.tar, ro<tdway or intersection) is located is
responsiole for preparing the facilirys Deficiency Plan. Cities may hire
consultants to prepare defloency plans as long :as the city rCIT1.2L'1.S respon.sible
for the pl ... n's contents and implementation.
S. What is the intent of Defidency Plan:s?
Deficiency Plans are designed to improve lr.ansponation conditions: on the
overall eMP system and to contribute to signiF!cant imprm.'ements in air
quality.
6. W'hzl should be induded in Defider.cy Plans?

Defidency plan actions must conL'ibute to improvernent in regional air Quality.
There-fore. the C!t1P Icg!sla~Qn requires L~e regior"l.al air disL'ic+..s to develop
lisr.s of improvements, programs, and actions for defidency puns that wiU be
d...~ned to contnbuce to improvement in regLonal air quality. Actions o.n this
fist wm be the same as, "'J:-compatible with, the Transportation Control
Measures (TCI>!,) fnc!uded in the Regional (Jean Air PI.n (CAP).
8. Who. pa..!·ti~pates in the preparation and irnplementat.:on of Defidenci Plan.·c;?
The local jurisdiction in which the deficient eM? System roadway or
intersection is located is responsible tor p:epa.ring the Defidency Plan.
Other jurisdictiom or Oigencies (Le. GalTrans, $anu CU!2 County) that share
respoi"lsibiliry for operation of the deficient roadway or intersa::tion shoold
assist in defidency plan development.
Other junsdic-Jons th.at have land-use deveiopmcnt plans that will 4I.ffect the
deficient facility should pa.."1idpate in deficien-:y plan development
CMA staff will assist member agcndes in preparation of Deficiency Plans.
The CMA Governing Board approves (or rei<!Cl5) Deficiency Plal15.
The Air District approves (or rejects) deficiency plan improvemems,

9, How lire Deficiency Plan actions implemented?
All deficiency plan actions win be implemented differently. The exact method
chosen wilt depend upon the action, Some potentia! implementation
techniques induce:
• The CMP and Member Agency Capital Improvement Programsi
• The CMArs Transportation D<:mand ~!anageme!1t (TO,"'!) Program;

The CMA's Recommendations to Member Agcndes on
i'reporlng Deficiency Plans
The purpose of this section is to outline slf:)regles Mefi1L"'lCr _"'gendes should U!ie
to maximize the benefits ,)f deficiency plans and to minimize the difficulty of
preparing defidem:y puns.
1. Prepare areawide deficiency plaus.
The CMA recommends that whene'\.'er possible, Mem....hcr Agendes prepare
2.!eawide defidency plans, Areaw!de deficiency pla.'15 allow dties to analyze an
area's transportation problems and develop comprehen;c;ive multi-modal
solutions iO those problems. Once an area'9l-'ide defidency plan. is compteted,
no additional ceficiency plans for eMP System facilities in the area wil1 be
needed. Howeve:, the deficiency must be re~:ised within tv.relve monilis of the
CMAs adoption of the Subregional DefIciency Pian Element, a."1d e\lery three
years thereafter.
2. Prepare deficiency plaus In advance.
Member Agencies that prepare deflcien ... -y plans in advance reduce the
posslbHity of delaying the approval of land-use development pro~ects.
Morem~erJ preparing defidency plans L.1 advance \\:ill provide developers with
a degree of Certamt"f as to wha[ types of projects .are acceptable in a given area,
and ""hat types of L'11p.rovements wiU be required from L;e project.
3. Incorporate deflclency plan aetlons Into ongoing p1ann.!ng aetlvltle ...
Member Agencies should incorporate deficiency plan actions and programs
intO all of their ongoing planning efforts. Whenever a ciry prepares a Specific
Pian or General Plan, deficiency plan :actions and programs should be
specificaliy considered and incorporated -whether or nor L'1e city has
prepared a defiCiency plan. Th15 will help the city to implement effective
progr.d.m5 and improvcmenrs, as well as reduce the time needed to prepare <Ii
deficiency plan should one be needed in the future
Slnla C • .r.t COI..mry CMA
DP Guide -DRAfT £-12 6/2S.l92
4. Incorporate deflcJency plao acUOD~ Jnto appl."opriate city
regu]3tIons.
Memher Agencies shC'uld incorporate deficiency plan actions into the
appropna:e sections of their d~e!opmem regulations including pla~.n.ing a.'1d
administrative code.Ii, Ge:1cral Plans, zoning regulations, regardless of whedler
the city has pr~pared :2 defic1ency plan. For example, the deflciem.:y plan
requirement fcr providing "xx" bicyde racks per thousand square feet of
commercial development (CMA Immediate Implementation Action List #A-4)
should be added to all dries' zonI:lg requirements, This Vo'jli enhance the
effectiveness of the deficiency plan as well as shonen the time needed (or its
prepaFoi ti on.
S. Include future tramc projections In clellciency plaa analysis.
AIl Member Agencies preparing defiderlCY plans must include 4['J analysis of
~.pproxImately 10-years of future traffic on the defident facilities, Thi') wlU Ie.ad
to development of more effective and relevant dcfidency plans and will help
ensure that the lase de1;'e!oper in the door is not forced to pay for
izr.plementation of the entire deftdency plan. Forecas[S of future conditions
should incorporate the latest ABAG population and employmem forecasts
with any deviations carefully documented_
6. Consult with neighboring cities ou deficiency pUns.
Member .I .. gencies should Vo'ork with neighbormg dues on prep:uatiO!1 of
deficiency plans; in some cases, it may be bencfida.! if two or more Member
Agencies prepare a single defi':iency plan. By working together, Member
Agendes can ensure Lh.at ali development projectS that impact defidency plan
facilities are treated equaUy_
7 ~ Include actions on CMA's Deferred Implementation Action Ust
Member Agencies should include as lJ"I.a.ny actio."1.S from the Ct-.LI,.'s Deferred
Implementation Action List (such as tran..,it improvements, enhancements to
roM programs, a:"ld HOV fadliLies) as possible in their deficiency plans.
