F -3(b) Public Works Department /Traffic Engineering INTER -CITY TRAFFIC STUDY AGREEMENT Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an amendment to the INTER -CITY TRAFFIC STUDY AGREEMENT (C -2771) adding the Cities of Santa Ana and Tustin as participants and revising the total cost and cost shares. DISCUSSION The City Council approved an agreement between the Cities of Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Irvine and the consulting firm of Austin -Foust Associates to conduct a short -term traffic study in the area of John Wayne Airport. Several months ago the City of Santa Ana requested to join the study due to similar concerns over where development was occurring and its impacts on their streets. Within the past month, the City of Tustin has also requested to join the study. Santa Ana has been participating in the study and paying their share for several months and it was recently discovered that the Agreement was never submitted to the various City Councils for revision. Tustin staff has sat in on some recent meetings but did not have their Council's approval to participate until a few weeks ago. • The revised agreement also calls for some additional work to identify needed traffic improvements for a 7 -year period. The earlier agreement and work performed previously was based upon a 5 -year time frame. The longer time frame is desirable due to the slower rate of development in response to the economy and the fact that the Congestion Management Program and the Growth Management Plan both utilize a 7 -year planning horizon. 1 The supplemental work will cost the City of Newport Beach $3,750, in addition to the $25,000 provided for in the original agreement. Funds for this work are available in the current • budget. The timetable for the work covered in the revised agreement calls for a report in January which will include a 7 -year transportation improvement program identifying specific intersection lane configurations, as well as identifying the relative impacts at the intersections from development in each of the cities. Costs for the improvements will be developed and a formula will be determined to identify costs associated with development. Staff of the five cities have reviewed the proposed amendment to the agreement and recommend its approval. • Richard M.

It addresses the revisions to the original scope of work as discussed at the September Sth meeting of the City Managers, and the directions given at the meeting with technical staff on October 8th. OVERVIEW The work carried out to date for the Five -City traffic study has included the development of a traffic modeling capability (short -range and long- range), preparation of land use data, short -range (1995) traffic forecasts, and identification of potential traffic improvements at selected intersection locations in each of the five cities. A comprehensive interim report is available which documents the results of this work. The revised scope of work will continue to focus on the short - range, but will use a seven -year time frame (1999) rather than the 1995 data that is currently the basis for the short -range analysis. The land use data will be revised accordingly, and new traffic forecasts produced. These revised forecasts will be used to update the short -range traffic improvements. Cost estimates will be produced for the improvements and a nexus analysis carried out to allocate costs to the seven -year land use forecasts. The long -range analysis will produce ADT and peak hour traffic forecast data and examine the short -range improvements within a longer range context The intent is to ensure that the short- range improvements appear warranted in the long- range, and are consistent with current long -range improvement plans and/or General Plan Circulation Elements. The product of the study will be a seven -year transportation improvement program and corresponding nexus findings. Improvements will be specified in terms of intersection lane requirements, and the nexus information will equate improvement costs to land use growth in each part of the analysis area. Four -City Traffic Study 1 Austin -Foul[ Associate. Ina 11 WORK ITEMS The work items that are proposed here can be summarized as follows: 1. Revised Short-Ranee Analysis The interim report produced for the Five -City Traffic Analysis contains considerable information with respect to short-range improvement needs. Questions regarding feasibility of some of the projects will be resolved, and the program will be updated to reflect the seven -year time frame. The steps that will be undertaken in this regard are as follows: 1. Prepare new land use database (1999) 2. Prepare new traffic forecasts 3. Revise improvement program It is anticipated that item 3 will involve numerous iterations with respect to traffic model data, and will require considerable input from the project team. The product will be a revised version of the short-range improvement program. 2. Improvement Costs In this work item, costs will be assembled for the improvements identified in work item I above. These cost estimates will be prepared by each jurisdiction, and reviewed by AFA for reasonableness. 3. Nexus Analysis This step in the analysis will be a nexus evaluation of the improvement costs and land use growth in the study area. The nexus procedure will relate the costs of the improvements at each individual location to the growth in land use (existing to 1999). The result will be a set of costs per tripend specified by individual areas within the overall study area. In carrying out this analysis, a set of sub -areas will first be defined, and the growth in land use in each sub -area will be estimated Various nexus formulations will then be analyzed, taking into consideration participating development, existing fee programs, etc. While at this stage it is not intended that the nexus results should be directly converted into a fee program. the results will Four-0ty Traffic Study 2 Austin -Fact Assoaatm Irm 0 provide some general cost parameters for evaluating potential funding mechanisms. 4. Post -2010 Traffic Forecasts The traffic model used in the Five -City study has a Post -2010 version that can be prepared for use without a major work effort. This model will be used for identifying peak hour intersection volumes in a similar manner to that carried out for 1999. The peak hour forecast data will be utilized to prepare intersection capacity utilization (ICU) values for this long -range time period. A preliminary set of lane configurations will be prepared for each intersection to show the type of improvements that may be needed. These configurations will be preliminary in nature, and will not be subject to a detailed feasibility and cost analysis. 5. Final Retort and Presentations The results of the traffic analysis will be written into a final report, and up to five presentations will be given to summarize the findings. COST ESTIMATE The traffic model area includes the City of Tustin, although the short -range version of the model will need to be set up to process intersections in Tustin. Assuming availability of traffic count and land use data, this is estimated to cost around $3,000. The additional cost for carrying out the above five work items with an expanded study area that includes intersections in Tustin is $6,000. Table 1 summarizes the estimated costs for the scope of work described here. It includes the City of Tustin as a participant in this next phase of the study. Additional costs for each city can be summarized as follows: Total work effort cost Less funds remaining Net Additional Cost Cost per City: Tustin Others $49,000 $25,000 $24,000 $9,000 $3,750 Four-City Traffic Study 3 Austin -Foust Associates, Inc 1.

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE Traffic improvement needs in the South/Central business areas of Orange County have been addressed in the past by The Inter -City Liaison Committee (ICLC). Comprising portions of Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach (see Figure 1) the ICLC area included many highway system elements whose functions extend beyond single jurisdictional boundaries. The ICLC activities were a cooperative effort to identify needed improvements and provide a mechanism for implementing those improvements. • With the potential advent of the county growth management plan (GMP), there is an opportunity to update the ICLC program and incorporate it into one of the county's growth management areas. Accordingly, the objectives of this study are to update the data base and make a detailed traffic analysis of this area; to identify traffic improvement needs and potential financial responsibilities; and then to incorporate the results into a phasing and monitoring program under the GMP format. It is proposed that the scope of the study would comprise three parts as follows: 1. Traffic Analysis This part of the work would analyze short -range and long -range traffic needs in the ICLC area. Of primary importance would be short -range (five years) and the accompanying traffic improvements required for this time frame. Buildout traffic needs would also be considered (all three cities have recently adopted or will soon adopt general plan circulation element updates) to ensure consistency between the short term and longer range programs. 1 • • • 2. Improvement Proms This part of the work would involve identifying the necessary improvements, and determining funding responsibilities and financing sources. The purpose would be to enable improvements to be funded and implemented in a timely manner to maintain adequate levels of service. Improvements within the rive -year time frame would be identified, cost estimates prepared, and special traffic share analyses would be carried out to show how the funding responsibilities (including regional) could be apportioned throughout the analysis area. If desired, different benefit areas could be delineated, each with different responsibilities depending on their derived cost shares. Alternatively, a single benefit area could be used. The result would be a phasing program outlining the needed improvements and the financing responsibilities of the participants. 3. Growth Management Plan The final task would involve incorporating the work from the previous two tasks into GMP format. While the arterial analysis would be carried out using the GMP guidelines, the intent on this task would be to formally define a growth management area and establish the data base and procedures to achieve the objectives of the county's GMP. METHODOLOGY An important component of the work effort will be the selection of a suitable data base for the traffic analysis. For buildout conditions, it is suggested that the Orange County Metro Business Area (OCMBA) traffic model be utilized. This is a sub -area model prepared by the City of Santa Ana and coordinated with a technical advisory group comprising the Cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa, and the County of Orange. It's area includes most of the study area (see Figure 2) and the model has the ability to forecast peak hour traffic data for the year 2010 (buildout of the cities General Plans). Some expansion of the model area would be needed to include the portion of Newport Beach south of the airport, but no new model development effort would be required. For this analysis, a five year version of the model would be prepared. (There is currently a 1988 version of the model). To provide a land use data base, each of the cities would prepare five - year land use forecasts for input to the model. If desired, AFA could assist this process by preparing an initial set of five -year data by interpolating between existing and buildout. Each of the cities could then make refinements as appropriate, based on project applications and approvals, 3 F Z CD cc 0 CL m 0 4 N W tp O V) Q) ro ro a) PC C: 0 4.) 0 x 14 U) V) 0 .3 0 u y u w 0 ■ T 49 O 0 and local knowledge as to how development will occur in each part of the respective cities. • The traffic model data would be used to analyze short-range and long -range traffic improvements. The analysis would be carried out in a manner that is consistent with the counties growth management plan guidelines. Evaluation criteria would be established accordingly, and used to identify the type of transportation improvements needed to maintain acceptable levels of service. For the financing part of the study, use would be made of AFA's special traffic share analysis methodology. This has been used in various areas for determining infrastructure traffic shares, and provides a basis for deriving equatable cost shares for traffic improvements. COST ESTIMATE & TIME SCHEDULE A general cost estimate is given below according to the three work phase described here: • 1. Traffic Analysis $40,000 2. Improvement Program $15,000 3. Phasing/GMP Program $20,000 TOTAL $75,000 C] A suggested time schedule for the analysis is as follows: 1. Traffic Analysis 5 months 2. Improvement Program 2 months 3. Phasing/GMP Program 3 months Some overlap of each phase could occur, so that the overall study could be carried out over a six to eight month time frame. 3 AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES 0 27Y �EEMENT, made and entered into this day of , 198 ?, by and between the CITIES OF COSTA MESA, IRVINE and NEWPORT BEACH, hereinafter referred to as "Cities ", and AUSTIN -FOUST ASSOCIATES, INC., hereinafter referred to as "Consultant ".

It was conceded that each city had the right, governed by law, to de- termine land -use issues within their respective cities. However, those present agreed that impacts in any city caused by develop- ment in a neighboring city should be mitigated. It was sug- gested that the City of Newport Beach prepare a Memorandum of Understanding to provide for certain conditions impacting Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach. Attached is a copy of the Memorandum of Under- standing. It basically provides for the following: 1. Each city will recognize the traffic service standards of the other cities. 2. Each city will determine the impact on the other-cities of a particular development and mitigate any adverse impacts caused by said development to the standards of each city. 3. A Scope of Work for an independent traffic study will be prepared and submitted to each of the cities within 30 days of the approval of the MOU. This traffic study will assume General Plan build -out and traffic improvements needed to accommodate said build -out. This study will be used to determine the extent of mitigation required on the circular systems within the three cities. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL May 22, 1989 Page 2 4.

Box 1768 • Newport Beach, California 92658 -8915 (714) 644 -3004 DRJ #2 May 18, 1989 INTER -CITY TRAFFIC IMPACTS MITIGATION MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, made and entered into F this day of 1989, by and between the CITY OF COSTA MESA, the CITY OF IRVINE, and the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH is based upon the following: INTRODUCTION A. The cities of Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach have in common certain city boundary lines. B. Land use and circulation system decisions of each city have the potential to adversely impact the quality of life enjoyed by those that live and work in the other jurisdictions. C. This potential impact can be readily identified in the environmental impact report process and traffic studies required as a condition of development. D. Cooperation among the cities will help each juris- diction achieve their respective goals and objectives. E. Each city has adopted traffic service level standards and programs designed to ensure compatibility between land use decisions and transportation and circulation facility improvements. F. Each city recognizes the fairness and equity in mitigating traffic problems in one city caused by development in the other cities. G. From time to time, it may be desirable to extend this Memorandum of Understanding to include other jurisdictions. NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: 1. The cities of Costa Mesa, Irvine,and Newport Beach do hereby recognize the traffic service level standards and programs adopted by each of the other cities. 2. It is the intent that each party, in the evaluation of land use development proposals, determine the potential im- pacts on the other parties to this agreement and impose conditions on each project so as to mitigate to the January 1, 1989 adopted standards of the other cities the traffic impacts caused by land -use development. 3. To more fully define and quantify paragraph two above, the traffic engineers and city managers of each party are hereby authorized to prepare a Scope of Work for an in- dependent traffic and land use study considering (1) ultimate General Plan land -use densities of each city; (2) traffic generating characteristics of the land uses; and (3) circula- tion improvements required to be compatible with these land uses; and (4) other criteria deemed necessary and appropriate. This study will serve as the basis for a more definitive and precise plan to mitigate the impacts of development, and to determine the circulation system improvements necessary to maintain adopted levels of service in each jurisdiction. 4. Because developments are on -going and occurring on a regular basis, time is considered to be of the essence and the Scope of Work defined in Paragraph 3 above shall, therefore, be submitted along with an estimated cost to the City Councils of the parties to this agreement within thirty (30) days of the approval of this Memorandum of Understanding. Each City Council shall have the right to review and pass final judg- ment on the Scope of Work to be performed. Final approval shall not unreasonably be withheld. 5. The parties to this agreement shall fund the study on an equal basis and each city will fund one -third of the cost of the study (unless paragraph 7 below is implemented) in their 1989 -90 Fiscal Year Budget. 6. Every effort will be made to commission this study within sixty (60) days of the commencement of the 1969 -90 Fiscal Year Budget. 7. The City of Santa Ana may be contacted to determine their interest in participating in this Memorandum of under- standing with the understanding and condition that their in- clusion shall not delay the process and intent expressed herein. The parties acknowledge that the success of this cooperative effort depends in part upon the prompt submittal of land use and circulation system data to the consultant to permit the consultant to finish the transportation study in a timely manner. 8. This agreement shall be binding on each of the parties notwithstanding any change in the composition, structure, or membership of the legislative body of any party. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this agreement to be executed and attested by their duly executed officers, and to have their official seals affixed hereto, as of the date first stated above.
