9. Update Adion Plan mem that will require review by the Regional Committee and the process for implementing this review. Approval of a General Plan i\mendmcnt found to be inconsistent with the adopted Action Plans may render the jurisdiction ineligible for Local Street Maintenance Improvement Funds from the CCTA. Consistency with the Action Plans can be achieved by revising the proposed amendment, adopting local actions to offset impacts to the Route of Regional Significance, or Council or Board denial of the amendment. Growth Management Tools. The TVTP is not intended to be a land use control document. While the plan is based on a set of growth assumptions, the plan should not be interpreted as limiting growth to the assumed le\'els. Nevertheless, the plan does establish Transporta- tion Service Objectives, which may indirectly influence growth rates. Growth beyond what is assumed herein may occur provided the TSOs are met. If there are TSO violations, or projected TSO violations, in a Tri.Valley jurisdiction, then that jurisdiction can either (a) implement transportation improvements (e.g., road widen- ing) to correct the TSO deficiency on that affected network segment, or (b) implement other measures inrended to result in measurable improvements to TSOs on the Routes of Regional Significance network and contribute to significant improvements in air quality. Failing this, the jurisdiction can refer the problem to the TVTe for joint resolution. In the event that the TVTC cannot resolve the violation to the mutual satisfaction of all members, the jurisdiction may modify the TSO standard, but only if other jurisdictions are not physi- cally impacted. The tools and procedures for conducting General Plan updates in Contra Costa County and analyzing proposed General Plan amendments will be the same as those used in pre- paring the Growth Management Elements. If the specific project or policy changes are large enough to meet requirements established by the region in its adopted Action Plan, the jurisdiction considering the Plan amendment must submit the <1mendment to the Regional Committee for evaluation of its impact on the ability to achieve Action Plan objectives. The Growth Management Program directs the RTPCs to evaluate proposed amendments only in relation to issues affecting Action Plan success and consistency. It will be the responsibil- ity of the jurisdiction considering the amendment to either: 1. Demonstrate that the amendment will not violate Action Plan policies or the ability to meet Action Plan Traffic Service Objectives; or 2. Propose modification to the Action Plan that will prevent the General Plan amendment from adverseJy affecting the regional transportation network. 18 April 2000 Page 71
