The City Council adopted the citywide transportation plan, RWCmoves, on July 23, 2018. The <br />draft transportation impact analysis guidelines were developed as a separate document and were not <br />included in the plan adopted by the City Council. <br />In late 2018, afterthe adoption of RWCmoves, the California Natural Resources Agency finalized an update <br />to the CEQA Guidelines and, following approval by the Office of Administrative Law, the updated <br />Guidelines went into effect on December 28, 2018. These new Guidelines revise how transportation <br />impacts are analyzed under CEQA, in compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 743. Per the updated CEQA <br />guidelines, level of service (LOS) may no longer be used to identify significant transportation impacts. The <br />recommended alternative to LOS is Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT). All agencies are required to adopt new <br />transportation impact significance criteria by July 1, 2020.
